SBRT-SG-01: final results of a prospective multicenter study on stereotactic body radiotherapy for liver metastases.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and tolerability of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of liver metastases.

Methods: Patients with up to 5 liver metastases were enrolled in this prospective multicenter study and underwent SBRT. Efficacy outcomes included in-field local control (LC), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

[Electrode position in elective electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. A randomized study].

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of left anteroposterior (A-P) and apex-anterior (A-A) electrode position in the electrical cardioversion (ECV) of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Design: Randomized clinical trial.

Location: ICU of a second-level hospital.

Health-related quality of life as a prognostic factor of survival in critically ill patients.

Objective: To evaluate whether health-related quality of life prior to admission into an intensive care unit (ICU) is a prognostic factor of hospital and 1 year mortality.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Fourteen-bed medical-surgical ICU.

[Limitation of therapeutic effort after ICU admission. Analysis of related factors].

Objective: To analyze the limitation of therapeutic effort (LTE) in our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the variables associated with that decision.

Design: Prospective cohort study with a follow up of one year after discharge.

Setting: ICU of a second level hospital.
