Background: Multiple studies have shown good results with the use of octogenarian donors in non-HCV recipients and its use is universally accepted worldwide. There are no studies analyzing differences between hepatitis C virus (HCV) and non-HCV recipients transplanted with donors≥80 years in the direct-action antivirals (DAA) period. The rate of liver transplantation (LT) using old donors is still low, and a change in the acceptance of these grafts could increase the liver pool available for LT.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was design including all patients undergoing LT at our center between January, 2006 and December, 2019 with incidentally diagnosed iCCA or HCC-CC after pathological examination of the explanted liver (n = 13).
Results: There were no iCCA or HCC-CC recurrences during the follow-up, and hence, there were no tumor related deaths.
Objective: To design an instrument to measure impairment of skin integrity in the diaper area of infants and severity of injury for the prevention and management of irritative diaper dermatitis.
Methodology: Design in 3 phases: 1) comprehensive review and critical appraisal of literature to design the preliminary content of the instrument; 2) critical evaluation of initial proposal by an expert group (nursing and pediatric medicine) with opinion survey and ad hoc questions; 3) content analysis using data tabulation for the modification and final design of the instrument.
Setting: Primary Care Management of Tenerife.
