Objectives: This study aimed to determine the incidence and trends of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) in the healthcare district of Lleida.
Material And Methods: We performed a population-based prospective cohort study including the entire population of the healthcare district of Lleida (440 000 people). Information was gathered from the minimum basic data set from the emergency department and hospital discharges for the period from January 2010 to December 2014.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of a shorter emergency department time (EDt) in patients with severe trauma (STPs) admitted to the intensive care unit and determine whether EDt influences mortality.
Patients And Methods: A prospective observational study of STPs (2005-2007) was conducted. With the variables available from the ED, 2 multiple logistic regression models (MLRM) were created: one for the factors associated with EDt less than or equal to median and the other with mortality.
Background: The use of emergency hospital services (EHS) has increased steadily in Spain in the last decade while the number of immigrants has increased dramatically. Studies show that immigrants use EHS differently than native-born individuals, and this work investigates demographics, diagnoses and utilization rates of EHS in Lleida (Spain).
Methods: Cross-sectional study of all the 96,916 EHS visits by patients 15 to 64 years old, attended during the years 2004 and 2005 in a public teaching hospital.
Background: Our purpose was to assess the usefulness of a strategy based on the clinical presentation in order to choose antibiotics in patients with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
Patients And Method: During one year, all patients admitted to the emergency department with a diagnosis of non-severe (Fine risk-classes I, II and III) CAP, were randomized and assigned into the following groups: GROUP 1: the clinical presentation was not taken into account and all patients were treated with levofloxacin; GROUP 2: patients with typical presentation were treated with amoxicillin and patients with atypical presentation were treated with clarithromycin. The following aspects were evaluated during the follow-up: presence of fever after 72 h of treatment, days of hospitalization and complications.
