015: Relation between platelet activation and inflammation indexes measured on admission and new onset atrial fibrillation in patients with acute myo…
2013
ObjectivePlatelet activation is present in atrial fibrillation (AF), but there is some debate whether this is due to AF itself and/or to underlying cardiovascular diseases. We aim to determine the association between a marker of platelet reactivity (mean platelet volume (MPV)) and systemic inflammation (CRP) measured on admission, and new onset episode of AF in patients with MI.Patients and methodsProspective cohort of 4994 consecutive patients with AMI. Patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF were excluded.Results426 (8.5%) patients were diagnosed with a new onset of AF during the in-hospital-stay (mean stay 3±2 days). These patients were older (75 vs 65, p<0.001), predominantly male, an…

EP1168 The influence of obesity on tumor recurrence in vulvar cancer patients
2019
Introduction/Background Obesity is associated with decrased survival in several cancer entities. The influence of obesity on prognosis of vulvar cancer patients is not clear. However, knowledge about this may have consequences on treatment and follow-up. Methodology This is an analysis of the large AGO-CaRE-1 study which included vulvar cancer patients (UICC stage IB and higher), treated in 29 cancer centers between 1998 and 2008, in order to analyze treatment patterns and prognostic factors. Results In total, 849 eligible patients were divided into two groups depending on their body mass index (BMI, 0.05). Radical vulvectomies were performed more frequently in patients having a BMI ≥30 kg/…
Adjuvant Intravesical Chemotherapy in Patients with Primary T1 G3 Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder
1993
The Authors present their experience with TUR plus adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy in 50 patients affected by primary T1 G3 bladder tumours without previous or concomitant carcinoma in situ. At a mean follow-up of 36 months, 84% of the patients are alive and tumour-free. Cystectomy was performed in three patients due to locally invasive disease. Five patients (10%) died of bladder cancer.

Adaptation and Refinement of Validated Risk Screening Tools in the Spanish Healthcare System
2013
Abstract The aim of this study is to develop a tool to screen elders at risk of hospital readmissions adapted to Spanish target population. The development of this new tool is based on the validated instrument The Community Assessment Risk Screen – CARS –, which is being applied in a sample of 1.000 older patients. The adaptation and refinement of CARS is being carried out through the compilation of new potential variables from primary care clinicians to predict patients at risk of readmissions. The introduction of this new instrument adapted to Spanish target population will provide a potential tool to identify prematurel y patients at risk of hospital readmissions.
