Predictive capacity of FRAX in a spanish region with a hip fracture rate close to the national mean.

Background: It is known that standardized incidence rates of hip fracture vary among older people in Spain. So far, the results published on the validation of the FRAX® tool in Spain have suggested that the major osteoporotic fractures (MOFs) risk in our country is underestimated. These studies have practically been based on Spanish cohorts evaluated in Catalonia, a higher hip fracture rate area.

Information and consensus document for the detection and management of chronic kidney disease.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem worldwide that affects more than 10% of the Spanish population. CKD is associated with high comorbidity rates, poor prognosis and major consumption of health system resources. Since the publication of the last consensus document on CKD seven years ago, little evidence has emerged and few clinical trials on new diagnostic and treatment strategies in CKD have been conducted, apart from new trials in diabetic kidney disease.

Peripheral arterial disease and kidney failure: a frequent association.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of kidney failure in people older than 49 years old with peripheral arterial disease and to analyse its relationship with risk factors and cardiovascular disease.

Material And Method: Prospective epidemiological study 3 years in duration with selection by simple random sampling in the general population aged over 49 years. Data on demographic, clinical, prevalence of risk factors and cardiovascular disease were registered.

[Cystatin C and cardiovascular risk in the general population].

Introduction And Objectives: Cystatin C has been proposed as a novel marker of renal function and as a predictor of cardiovascular risk in the elderly. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of an elevated cystatin C level in the general population and its relationship with cardiovascular risk factors and disease.

Methods: This descriptive epidemiologic cross-sectional study involved a simple randomized sample of individuals aged >49 years from the general population, and was based on personal health records.

[Control of coronary risk factors in secondary prevention: PRESENAP study].

Background And Objective: Evaluate the overall achievement of goals in the control of risk factors in secondary prevention in patients who have suffered a coronary event and are followed up in primary care centers.

Patients And Method: Descriptive, transversal, multicenter study with sampling by consecutive inclusion of the first 5 patients attending the doctor's office who had suffered a coronary event 6 months to 10 years previously. The targets for control were: blood pressure < 140/90 mmHg in the general population and < 130/85 mmHg in diabetics; LDL-cholesterol < 100 mg/dl and no smoking habit.
