Fall-related mortality in Spain: trends and disparities by age and gender.

Background: Falls are a significant public health concern, particularly among older adults. This study aimed to analyse trends in fall-related mortality in Spain from 1999 to 2022, focusing on age and gender disparities.

Methods: Using a longitudinal ecological study, we analysed trends in fall mortality.

Evolving Landscape of Melanoma in Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece: Trends and Insights.

Objective: To study melanoma incidence trends from 1990 to 2021 in Southern European countries-Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece-and explore regional and age-period-cohort (A-P-C) patterns.

Methods: Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 were used to calculate age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs). Joinpoint regression and age-period cohort (A-P-C) models were applied to identify trends and patterns.

Spatial clusters and temporal trends of cutaneous malignant melanoma mortality in Spain.

Objective: To analyse time trends in mortality due to cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) in Spain between 1980 and 2020, and to identify possible spatial clusters of provinces with an excess risk of CMM mortality during the period 2011-2020.

Methods: Joinpoint regression models were used to assess temporal trends in data from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics. Crude rates, standardized mortality ratio (SMR), smoothed relative risk (RR), and posterior probabilities (PP) of RR >1 during the period 2011-2020 were calculated.

Time trend and age-period-cohort effect on kidney cancer mortality in Spain, 1983-2022.

Objective: This study examines trends and disparities in kidney cancer (KC) mortality in Spain from 1983 to 2022, focusing on gender, birth cohort, and age influences.

Methods: Data from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics were analyzed using age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs). Joinpoint regression identified temporal trends and annual percentage changes, while Age-Period-Cohort (A-P-C) analysis assessed the impacts of age, calendar period, and birth cohort on mortality.

Infective endocarditis: a growing threat despite medical progress. A look at trends in Spain.

Introduction And Objectives: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious public health problem both in Spain and worldwide. This study aimed to analyze the trends in the incidence of IE in Spain from 1992 to 2021.

Methods: We used IE incidence data from the Global Health Data Exchange and population data from the Spanish National Statistics Institute to analyze changes in age-standardized incidence rates.
