Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-based studies with 4.4 million participants
2016
Background One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. Methods We pooled data from population-based studies that had collected data on diabetes through measurement of its biomarkers. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in diabetes prevalence-defined as fasting plasma glucose of 7.0 mmol/L or higher, or history of diagnosis w…
Transmission of HIV Drug Resistance and the Predicted Effect on Current First-line Regimens in Europe
2016
Transmitted human immunodeficiency virus drug resistance in Europe is stable at around 8%. The impact of baseline mutation patterns on susceptibility to antiretroviral drugs should be addressed using clinical guidelines. The impact on baseline susceptibility is largest for nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Effects of diabetes definition on global surveillance of diabetes prevalence and diagnosis: a pooled analysis of 96 population-based studies with 331…
2015
Diabetes has been defined on the basis of different biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c. We assessed the effect of different diagnostic definitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classification of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabetes in a pooled analysis of data from population-based health examination surveys in different regions.
Abdominal infections in the intensive care unit: characteristics, treatment and determinants of outcome
2014
Background: Abdominal infections are frequent causes of sepsis and septic shock in the intensive care unit (ICU) and are associated with adverse outcomes. We analyzed the characteristics, treatments and outcome of ICU patients with abdominal infections using data extracted from a one-day point prevalence study, the Extended Prevalence of Infection in the ICU (EPIC) II.Methods: EPIC II included 13,796 adult patients from 1,265 ICUs in 75 countries. Infection was defined using the International Sepsis Forum criteria. Microbiological analyses were performed locally. Participating ICUs provided patient follow-up until hospital discharge or for 60 days.Results: Of the 7,087 infected patients, 1,…
Leisure-time physical activity, sedentary behaviors, sleep, and cardiometabolic risk factors at baseline in the PREDIMED-PLUS intervention trial: A c…
2017
Limited data exists on the interrelationships between physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviors and sleep concerning cardiometabolic risk factors in aged adults at high cardiovascular disease risk. Our aim was to examine independent and joint associations between time spent in leisure-time PA, sedentary behaviors and sleep on the prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Mediterranean individuals at high cardiovascular risk. Cross-sectional analyses were performed on baseline data from 5776 Spanish adults (aged 55-75y in men; 60-75y in women) with overweight/ obesity and MetS, from October 2013 to October 2016, in the PREDIMED-PLUS tri…
Estudios clínicos sobre la enfermedad celíaca (2014-2019): revisión sistemática de la prevalencia de la presentación clínica y enfermedades asociadas…
2020
Introducción: La enfermedad celíaca (EC) se caracteriza por una gran variedad de signos, síntomas y enfermedades asociadas en su forma de presentación, incluso puede cursar de forma asintomática. Recientes estudios muestran la variación del espectro clínico según la edad. En niños y niñas pequeñas predomina la forma clásica con síntomas como distensión abdominal, disminución del apetito, diarrea y pérdida de peso. Las manifestaciones atípicas frecuentes en niños mayores son dolor abdominal, estreñimiento, reflujo, vómitos, fatiga, talla baja. En adultos se observa una reducción de la forma de presentación clásica e incremento de la no clásica.Material y métodos: Se realizó una revisión sist…
Alteraciones del comportamiento. Prevalencia en las consultas de pediatría de atención primaria: Comunidad Valenciana, 2009
2012
Background: Childhood and adolescence mental health needs a proper monitoring. The aim is to estimate behavioral disorders preva- lence in paediatric primary care in the Region of Valencia (Spain) and to describe its distribution according to sex, age and impact areas. Methods: Cross-sectional research. Region of Valencia’s Health Surveillance Network observed along 2009 the behavioral disorders in patients primary health care between 3 and 14 years old. Prevalence and confidence intervals at 95% were calculated. Chi-square test (p<0,05) was calculated to explore the differences in behavioral disorders accor- ding to sex, age and impact areas. Results: Total cases notified were 626. Out of …
Concordancia entre observadores en la detección por palpación de bocio en población escolar de 6 a 14 años
2009
Mª José López García (Maria.J.Lopez-Garcia@uv.es) Fundamento: Estimar la concordancia entre observadores en la detección de bocio por palpación manual en la población escolar. Métodos. Durante un periodo de 5 meses durante el curso escolar 2001/2002 se estudió la presencia de bocio en una muestra representativa de 845 escolares de 6 a 14 años de 18 colegios de una Área de Salud de la Comunidad Valenciana. La exploración fue realizada de forma enmascarada por dos observadores (siempre los mismos). El tamaño tiroideo se estableció en seis grados (OA, OB, I, II, III y IV). Se consideró bocio a partir del grado OB inclusive. La concordancia se valoró en relación a variables como edad, sexo, mas…
Parasitismo Intestinal en Población Infantil de las Regiones Atlánticas de Nicaragua
2018
La presente Tesis Doctoral tiene como objetivo establecer el espectro parasitario intestinal de la costa Atlántica de Nicaragua, concretamente de la Región Autónoma del Atlántico Norte (RAAN) y la Región Autónoma del Atlántico Sur (RAAS). Para ello, se ha estudiado un total de 1878 escolares (1009 niñas y 869 niños), con edades comprendidas entre <1 y 14 años de edad. Se ha detectado un espectro parasitario total de al menos 18 especies parásitas (10 protozoos y 8 helmintos), con una prevalencia de parasitación total de 93.7%, observándose mayor prevalencia de protozoos que de helmintos (85.3% vs 61%). Las especies más prevalentes detectadas fueron Blastocystis spp. (68.2%), seguido de T. t…
