Long-term effects of COVID-19, also called Long COVID, affect more than 10% patients. The most severe cases (i.e. those requiring hospitalization) present a higher frequency sequelae, but detailed information on these is still lacking. objective this study to identify and quantify the outcomes associated with presence sequelae or persistent symptomatology (SPS) during 6 months after discharge for COVID-19.Retrospective observational 6-month follow-up conducted in four hospitals Spain. A...
Background To identify and quantify associations between baseline characteristics on hospital admission mortality in patients with COVID-19 at a tertiary Spain. Methods findings This retrospective case series included 238 hospitalized for Hospital Universitario Clínico San Cecilio (Granada, Spain) who were discharged or died. Electronic medical records reviewed to obtain information sex, age, personal antecedents, clinical features, physical examination, laboratory results each patient....
Abstract Background Long-term-specific sequelae or persistent symptoms (SPS) after hospitalisation due to COVID-19 are not known. The aim of this study was explore the presence SPS 12 months discharge in survivors hospitalised and compare it with other causes. Methods Prospective cohort study, Andalusian Cohort Hospitalised patients for (ANCOHVID study), conducted 4 hospitals 29 primary care centres Andalusia, Spain. sample composed 906 adult patients; 453 (exposed) causes (non-exposed) from...
Nirsevimab was indicated in a population level for all infants < 6 months during the 2023-2024 season Andalusia (southern Spain). Our aim to analyse effect of nirsevimab reduction complications hospitalised RSV bronchiolitis. A retrospective observational cohort study conducted nine relevant hospitals from provinces Andalusia, region with over 9 million inhabitants. The sample included 222 children, divided into two groups: administered passive immunisation (exposure) and not nirsevimab....
Purpose:: In this work, we decellularized whole porcine corneas including the sclerocorneal limbus (SCL) and evaluated regional differences in order to identify an efficient method decellularize for future clinical use. Methods:: We analyzed efficiency of four decellularization protocols based on benzalkonium chloride (BAK), Igepal, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Triton X-100 detergents corneas. Results:: Results showed that most was low, with specific protocol resulting more levels being...
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has quickly spread around the world, with Spain being one of most severely affected countries. Healthcare professionals are an important risk group given their exposure. aims this study were to determine prevalence symptoms, main concerns as patients, preventive behaviours healthcare professionals, and different temporal outcomes associated negativization PCR results. A total 238 analysed follow-up was conducted from 11 March 21 April 2020...
Objectives: We aimed to analyze potential predictors for the development of metachronous fractures (MFs) after osteoporotic vertebral (OVFs), with particular focus on radiological variables obtained at initial X-rays and computed tomography (CT) examinations, treatment applied (conservative management [CM] versus percutaneous vertebroplasty [PV]), located thoracolumbar junction (T11-L2). Methods: conducted a two-center, observational retrospective study, including patients single-level OVFs...
Multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) represent a significant global health concern and vary in specific settings. Spain reported several annual deaths attributed to MDR bacteria, mainly carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales. We aimed characterise the incidence temporal trends of bacterial infections or colonisations within province Granada (data from five hospitals), investigate factors linked clinical vulnerability. conducted an observational retrospective study (2014-2022) using...
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the serological response after complete hepatitis B vaccination patients according immunosuppressive treatment they underwent, and identify potential factors associated with non-responders. Methods: A prospective cohort conducted, under therapies were considered exposed. main outcome non-response vaccination. Bivariate analysis conducted detect differences between exposed non-exposed patients. multivariable log-binomial regression model...
Background: Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) can lead to severe and fatal outcomes. Vaccines against meningococcus (serogroups B, MenB; or ACWY, MenACWY) are recommended for patients at high risk of developing IMD. Our aim was identify high-risk through a systematic search medical codes evaluate vaccination coverage by group. Methods: An observational retrospective study conducted in discharged Reina Sofía University Hospital (Cordoba, Spain) from 1 January 2000, 31 December 2023....
Pneumococcal infections are an increased cause of morbimortality worldwide. The most effective preventive strategy is adequate vaccination. aim this work was to evaluate the vaccination coverage and associated factors for vulnerable hospitalized patients, opportunity within hospitalization. Observational study conducted on a secondary care public hospital. sample composed patients admitted Internal Medicine service, excluding participants with terminal conditions. Descriptive bivariate...
Abstract Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has serious physiological and psychological consequences. long-term (>12 weeks post-infection) impact of COVID-19 on mental health, specifically in older adults, is unclear. We longitudinally assessed the association with depression symptomatology community-dwelling adults metabolic syndrome within framework PREDIMED-Plus cohort. Methods Participants ( n = 5486) aged 55–75 years were included this longitudinal status...
Abstract In 2021, we identified a cluster of Elizabethkingia miricola cases in an intensive care unit Spain. Because E. is not considered special surveillance agent Spain, whole-genome sequencing was performed. The bacterial source identified. All species should be listed as bacteria.
It has been widely reported that younger and older drivers have an excess risk of causing a road crash. Two casual hypotheses may coexist: the riskier driving behaviors age-related mechanisms in extreme age groups (direct path) different environmental vehicle circumstances (indirect path). Our aim was to quantify, through mediation analysis, percentage contribution both paths. A case-control study designed from Spanish Register Road Crashes with victims 2014 2017. Assuming quasi-induced...
BackgroundMultidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are among chief causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). In Spain, studies addressing multidrug resistance based on epidemiological surveillance systems lacking.AimIn this observational study, cases HAIs by MDR notified to the system Andalusia, between 2014-2021, were investigated. Notified and their spatiotemporal distribution described, with a focus social determinants health (SDoH).MethodsNew during study period caused...
