[The situation as regards diabetes mellitus type 1 in Andalusia. Care data, use of advanced therapies and human resources].

Introduction: The representation of Spain in European epidemiological studies on diabetes is limited, with only one centre in the Hvidoere study and another in the SWEET study. No Spanish studies have been published that combine epidemiological data and care resources. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological data, care resources, and use of new technologies in all Andalusian hospitals that care for children with Diabetes Mellitus type 1 (DM1) under 14 years.

Epidemiology of osteoporotic fractures in Andalusia, Spain, from 2000-2010.

Background And Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the epidemiological data on osteoporotic fractures in Andalusia in the period 2000-2010. In view of the lack of epidemiological studies of fractures in Andalusia, we set out to ascertain the number and incidence rates of osteoporotic fractures and their distribution by gender and age, location, comorbidity, seasonality and secular trend.

Methods: Cohort study observed over a period of 11 years analysing the data provided by the Minimum Basic Data Set register for the period 2000-2010.

Infectious morbidity and resource use in children under 2 years old at childcare centres.

Aim: To analyse the associations between childcare centres and infectious morbidity and resource consumption.

Methods: Cohort study from birth to 2 years.

Outcome Variable: number and types of infections, drug consumption and medical visits.

Comparison of medium-term outcomes obtained with drug-eluting stents and coronary artery bypass grafts in an unselected population of diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease. Propensity score analysis.

Introduction And Objectives: Since the introduction of drug-eluting stents, the optimum revascularization strategy in diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease has remained controversial.

Methods: This study used multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score matching to compare results in 270 consecutive diabetic patients (2000-2004) with multivessel disease (> or =2 vessels with a >70% de novo stenosis involving the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery) who underwent either coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG; n=142) or implantation of a drug-eluting stent (DES; i.e.
