Background: Recent research highlights the potential role of sex-specific variations in cardiovascular disease. The gut microbiome has been shown to differ between the sexes in patients with cardiovascular risk factors.
Objectives: The main objective of this study is to analyze the differences between women and men in the relationship between gut microbiota and measures of arterial stiffness.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common chronic disease with an increasing global prevalence.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyse all-cause mortality and its associated factors in people with DM in Spain.
Methods: We conducted a population-based retrospective study based on the 2011/2012 Spanish National Health Survey and the Spanish national death register, with six years of follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- The ERAS protocol for colorectal surgery has been evaluated for its impact on long-term survival and recurrence, but results show no significant advantages compared to traditional care.
- The study analyzed data from 981 patients, finding that 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were similar between ERAS and non-ERAS groups.
- Key risk factors for poor outcomes included age, low BMI, smoking, high ASA score, and laparotomy, with age identified as a protective factor for RFS when adjusted for the ERAS group.
Introduction: Researchers conducting studies based on electronic health records (EHRs) often have to deal with missing data. We aimed to analyze patterns of missing data in lipid profile, sociodemographic variables and risk factors contained in the EHRs of the CARDIABETES project and compare different strategies for addressing the issue.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of people with diabetes, based on EHRs in the Spanish Pharmacoepidemiological Research Database for Public Health Systems (BIFAP).
