Abstract Introduction We aimed to identify alcoholic beverage types more likely be consumed by demographic subgroups with greater alcohol‐related health risk than others, mainly individuals low socio‐economic status, racial/ethnic minority status and high drinking levels. Methods Fractional logit modelling was performed using a nationally representative sample of US adult drinkers (analytic N = 37,657) from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol Related Conditions Waves 2 (2004–2005) 3...
Different studies have shown that females develop liver diseases at lower levels of alcohol consumption than males. Our aim was to quantify the dose-response relationship between and risk cirrhosis by sex identify differences A systematic review conducted using PubMed/Medline Embase longitudinal case-control analyzed level use (LC) incidence, mortality (ICD-8 ICD-9 codes 571 ICD-10 K70, K73, K74). Pooled relative risks (RR) were calculated random effects models. Restricted cubic splines used...
Importance People with low socioeconomic status (SES) experience greater burden from alcohol-attributable health conditions and mortality at equal levels of alcohol consumption compared those high SES. A U-shaped association has been established between use ischemic heart disease (IHD), but no study explored how such an differs by SES in the US. Objective To investigate general US population. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort used record-linked, cross-sectional National Health...
To determine whether sub-clinical levels of drinking may contribute to suicide risk, and the risk differs by sex, we aimed evaluate relationship between average amount alcohol consumed per day death suicide.
Background Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a major cause of death in the United States (US), with marked mortality inequalities. Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding contributions behavioral risk factors (BRFs) to socioeconomic inequalities IHD mortality. To our knowledge, no nationwide study has been conducted on this topic US. Methods and In cohort study, we obtained data from 1997 2018 National Health Interview Survey follow-up until December 31, 2019 Death...
Background There is a knowledge gap regarding the potential roles that socioeconomic status (SES), race and ethnicity may play in associations between alcohol use injury risk. This study aimed to examine these factors as effect modifiers relationship heavy episodic drinking (HED) unintentional mortality. Methods We used mortality-linked data from 1997–2018 US National Health Interview Survey. performed survey-weighted Cox proportional hazards models evaluate modification of education,...
To analyze trends in urinary tract infection hospitalization (cystitis, pyelonephritis, prostatitis and non-specified UTI) among patients over 65 years Spain from 2000-2015.We conducted a retrospective observational study using the Spanish Hospitalization Minimum Data Set (CMBD), with codifications by International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9). We collected data on sex, age, type discharge, main diagnosis, comorbid length stay, global cost. All hospitalizations were grouped age into...
Abstract Background The rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months in Spain are far from recommended by the World Health Organization, which is 50% 2025. Evidence effectiveness group interventions late postpartum limited. objective this study was to evaluate PROLACT educational intervention for increasing proportion mother-child dyads with compared usual practice primary care. Method Multicentre cluster randomized clinical trial. A total 434 who breastfed exclusively first 4 weeks...
Objectives. To estimate the alcohol-attributable fraction (AAF) for suicide in United States. Methods. Using restricted-access data from National Violent Death Reporting System 2021, we estimated sex-specific AAF suicide, among those 15 years of age and older, by sociodemographic characteristics means. An was defined as that which decedent had a blood alcohol concentration 0.10 grams per deciliter or higher. Results. In males (20.2%) significantly higher than females (17.8%; P < .001)....
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most frequent cyanotic congenital heart defect. TOF mortality has fallen remarkably in recent years due to therapeutic advances. Accordingly, aim this study was assess temporal and spatial variability TOF-related Spain across period 1981–2016, using data drawn from nationwide population-based registry. Annual deaths were sourced Spanish National Institute Statistics database by reference International Classification Diseases (ICD), 9th 10th Revision codes,...
Muscular dystrophies (MD) are a group of rare hereditary degenerative diseases. Our aim was to analyze the mortality pattern in Spain from 1981 2016 assess temporal trend and discern possible geographic differences using population-based data. Annual deaths related MD were obtained National Statistics Institute with codes 359.1 ICD-9 (1981-1998) G71.0 ICD-10 (1999-2016). Age-adjusted rates calculated changes trends identified. The standardized ratios (SMR) their respective 95% confidence...
