Objectives: To determine the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the factors associated with impaired renal function in the population attended in primary care (PC).

Patients And Method: Cross-sectional and multicentre study carried out in the baseline patients of the IBERICAN study (Identificación de la poBlación Española de RIesgo CArdiovascular y reNal). CKD was considered with an estimated glomerular filtration (eGF) <60ml/min/1.73 m or elevated albuminuria (≥ 30mg/g). According to the eGF, the CKD was classified in six stages (1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4 and 5) and according to albuminuria in three stages (A1 or normal / slightly increased, A2 or moderately increased and A3 or severely increased). The clinical characteristics and the relationship of CKD with the main cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and other variables of interest were analysed using unconditional logistic regression.

Results: 7,895 patients were included (mean age 57.9±14.8 years; 54.5% women). 14.4% (95% CI: 13.6-15.1) had CKD; 16.1% (95% CI: 14.9-17.3) in men and 12.9% (95% CI: 11.9-14.0) in women. A continuous increase of the prevalence was observed with age (24.8% in≥65 years) and with CVFR aggregation. The variables that were most associated with the probability of suffering CKD were left ventricular hypertrophy (OR: 1.95; p <.001), diabetes (OR: 1.58; P<.001) and hypertension (OR: 1.56; P<.001).

Conclusions: Fourteen out of every 100 patients included in the IBERICAN study have CKD. The prevalence of CKD affects a quarter of patients ≥ 65 years and increases exponentially with the aggregation of FRCV.

Background: Clinical research has offered many definitions and fragmented perspectives of joint morbidity in haemophilia. As joint damage, pain and mobility impairment can be present without clinical record of persistent bleeding, a person-centric joint morbidity characterisation remained a priority for the haemophilia community, giving rise to the 'problem joint' concept. As diagnosing and managing joint morbidity is critical, the aim of this study was to analyse the holistic burden of problem joints in people with moderate or severe haemophilia A (HA).

Background: Sjogren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease and its pathogenesis often involves the participation of numerous immune cells and inflammatory factors. Despite increased researches and studies recently focusing on this area, it remains to be fully elucidated. We decide to incorporate genetic insight into investigation of the causal link between various immune cells, inflammatory factors and pathogenesis of Sjogren syndrome (SS).

Background: Small-bowel angioectasia is commonly diagnosed and managed using double-balloon enteroscopy; however, rebleeding rates can vary significantly. This study aimed to identify and evaluate the clinical predictors of rebleeding in patients with small-bowel angioectasia.

Methods: This retrospective study focused on adult patients who underwent endoscopic management for small bowel vascular lesions (SBVLs).

Background And Hypothesis: Gut dysbiosis characterized by an imbalance in pathobionts (Enterobacter, Escherichia and Salmonella) and symbionts (Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Prevotella) can occur during chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. We evaluated the associations between representative symbionts (Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus) and pathobionts (Enterobacteriaceae) with kidney function in persons with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 29 ADPKD patients were matched to 15 controls at a 2:1 ratio.
