Introduction: Recent studies conducted in Europe and the United States suggest upward trends in both incidence and hospitalisation rates for ischaemic stroke in young adults; however, data for Spain are scarce. This study analyses the trend in hospitalisation due to ischaemic stroke in adults aged under 50 years in the region of Murcia between 2006 and 2014.
Method: We performed a retrospective study of patients discharged after hospitalisation due to cerebrovascular disease (CVD); data were obtained from the regional registry of the Minimum Basic Data Set.

Introduction And Objectives: Disease progression in patients after a first hospitalization for heart failure (HF), in particular the interaction between survival and rehospitalizations, is not well established.
Methods: We studied all patients with a first hospitalization and main diagnosis of HF from 2009 to 2013 by analyzing the Minimum Data Set of the Region of Murcia. Both incident and recurrent patients were studied, and the trend in hospitalization rates was calculated by joinpoint regression.
Background: Reliable data are necessary if the burden of early readmissions following hospitalization for heart failure (HF) is to be addressed. We studied unplanned 30-day readmissions, their causes and timing over an 11-year period, using population-based linked data.
Methods: All hospitalizations from 2003 to 2013 were analyzed by using administrative linked data based on the Minimum Basic Set discharge registry of the Department of Health (Region of Murcia, Spain).
