Background: We recommend the use of models to estimate mortality hospital risk in cardiac surgery (CC). The aim of this study was to validate a risk stratification system, widely used as the EuroSCORE (ES), in our institution.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients undergoing CC consecutively between January 2006 and November 2008. The ES was calculated retrospectively based on data from medical records. Mortality was considered until the time of discharge. In all patients, the ES was calculated by logistic and additive. To study the validity of the model, we analyzed their ability to calibration and discrimination through the goodness of fit test of Hosmer and Lemeshow and area under the ROC curve, respectively.
Results: 153 patients were included, mean age 64.1 ± 9.5 years, 77.8% men. The CRM was 60.8%, 24.8% and 14.4% valvular surgery combined (bypass + valve). Overall mortality was 3.9%. The area under the curve of the logistic model was 0.87 and the Hosmer Lemeshow test was 0.84. The area under the curve of the additive model was 0.86 and the Hosmer Lemeshow test was p = 0.89. A score greater than 7 points is additive had a sensitivity of 66% and 91,5% specificity for predicting hospital mortality.
Conclusion: The ES is a useful model and can be used to estimate the risk of hospital mortality in CC in the city of Cordoba.

Introduction: Functional dependence on the performance of basic activities of daily living (ADLs) is associated with increased mortality. In this study, the Barthel index and its activities discriminate long-term mortality risk, and whether changes in this index are necessary to adapt it to detect mortality risk is examined.
Methods: Longitudinal study, carried out at the Orcasitas Health Center, Madrid (Spain), on the functional dependent population (Barthel ≤ 60).

Objective: To analyze the risk factors for peristomal skin complications (PSCs) in patients with colorectal cancer and an ostomy, construct a prediction model, and verify its effectiveness.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, researchers recruited 265 patients with an ostomy at the stoma clinic of a tertiary hospital, from May 2022 to August 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: complications group (n = 81) and no complications group (n = 184).

Background: In the last two decades, robotic-assisted gastrectomy has become a widely adopted surgical option for gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Despite its popularity, postoperative complications can significantly deteriorate patient quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, identifying risk factors for these complications is crucial for early detection and intervention.

Background: Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a special type of leukoplakia characterized by high rate of malignant transformation into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This study aimed to analyze the canceration risk and prognostic factors of PVL and establish effective diagnostic and prognostic predictive models.
Materials And Methods: A total of 467 patients were enrolled, including 170 cases of PVL.

Background: Multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-KP) infections pose a significant global healthcare challenge, particularly due to the high mortality risk associated with septic shock. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based model to predict the risk of MDR-KP-associated septic shock, enabling early risk stratification and targeted interventions.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1,385 patients with MDR-KP infections admitted between January 2019 and June 2024.
