    Impact of Heart Failure on In-Hospital Outcomes after Surgical Femoral Neck Fracture Treatment
    (Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021) Marco Martínez, Javier; Bernal Sobrino, José Luis; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; Elola Somoza, Francisco Javier; Azaña Gómez, Javier; García Klepizg, José Luis; Andrès, Emmanuel; Zapatero Gaviria, Antonio; Barba Martín, Raquel; Marco Martínez, Fernando; Canora Lebrato, Jesus; Lorenzo Villalba, Noel; Méndez Bailón, Manuel
    Background: Femoral neck fracture (FNF) is a common condition with a rising incidence, partly due to aging of the population. It is recommended that FNF should be treated at the earliest opportunity, during daytime hours, including weekends. However, early surgery shortens the available time for preoperative medical examination. Cardiac evaluation is critical for good surgical outcomes as most of these patients are older and frail with other comorbid conditions, such as heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of heart failure on in-hospital outcomes after surgical femoral neck fracture treatment. Methods: We performed a retrospective study using the Spanish National Hospital Discharge Database, 2007–2015. We included patients older than 64 years treated for reduction and internal fixation of FNF. Demographic characteristics of patients, as well as administrative variables, related to patient’s diseases and procedures performed during the episode were evaluated. Results: A total of 234,159 episodes with FNF reduction and internal fixation were identified from Spanish National Health System hospitals during the study period; 986 (0.42%) episodes were excluded, resulting in a final study population of 233,173 episodes. Mean age was 83.7 (±7) years and 179,949 (77.2%) were women (p < 0.001). In the sample, 13,417 (5.8%) episodes had a main or secondary diagnosis of heart failure (HF) (p < 0.001). HF patients had a mean age of 86.1 (±6.3) years, significantly older than the rest (p < 0.001). All the major complications studied showed a higher incidence in patients with HF (p < 0.001). Unadjusted in-hospital mortality was 4.1%, which was significantly higher in patients with HF (18.2%) compared to those without HF (3.3%) (p < 0.001). The average length of stay (LOS) was 11.9 (±9.1) and was also significantly higher in the group with HF (16.5 ± 13.1 vs. 11.6 ± 8.7; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Patients with HF undergoing FNF surgery have longer length of stay and higher rates of both major complications and mortality than those without HF. Although their average length of stay has decreased in the last few years, their mortality rate has remained unchanged.

    Identificación y cuantificación del efecto fin de semana y festivos en la atención del síndrome coronario agudo en el Sistema Nacional de Salud
    (2022) Fernández Ortiz, Antonio Ignacio; Bas Villalobos, Marian Cristina; García Márquez, María; Bernal Sobrino, José Luis; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; Prado González, Náyade del; Viana Tejedor, Ana Teresa; Núñez Gil, Iván; Macaya Miguel, Carlos; Elola Somoza, Francisco Javier
    Introducción y objetivos Analizar si el ingreso en fin de semana o festivo (IFSF), frente al ingreso en días laborables, influye en el tratamiento (angioplastia, intervención coronaria percutánea [ICP]) y los resultados (mortalidad hospitalaria) de los pacientes hospitalizados por síndrome coronario agudo en el Sistema Nacional de Salud. Métodos Estudio observacional retrospectivo de pacientes ingresados por infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST (IAMCEST) o con síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST (SCASEST) en los hospitales del Sistema Nacional de Salud durante el periodo 2003-2018. Resultados Se seleccionaron 438.987 episodios de IAMCEST y 486.565 de SCASEST, de los cuales fueron IFSF el 28,8 y el 26,1% respectivamente. El IFSF se mostraba como un factor de riesgo de mortalidad hospitalaria en los modelos ajustados por riesgo del IAMCEST (OR=1,05; IC95%, 1,03-1,08; p<0,001) y del SCASEST (OR=1,08; IC95%, 1,05-1,12; p <0,001). La tasa de ICP en el IAMCEST fue más de 2 puntos porcentuales mayor en los pacientes ingresados en días laborables durante el periodo 2003-2011 y similar o incluso más baja en 2012-2018, sin cambios significativos para el SCASEST. El IFSF se mostró como factor de riesgo estadísticamente significativo tanto para el IAMCEST como para el SCASEST. Conclusiones El IFSF puede aumentar el riesgo de muerte hospitalaria en un 5% (IAMCEST) y un 8% (SCASEST). La persistencia del riesgo de mayor mortalidad hospitalaria tras ajustar por la realización de ICP y las demás variables explicativas probablemente indique dficiencias en el tratamiento durante el fin de semana respecto de los días laborables.

    Heart Failure Is a Poor Prognosis Risk Factor in Patients Undergoing Cholecystectomy: Results from a Spanish Data-Based Analysis
    (Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021) Marco Martínez, Javier; Elola Somoza, Francisco Javier; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; Bernal Sobrino, José Luis; Azaña Gómez, Francisco Javier; García Klepizg, José Luis; Andrès, Emmanuel; Zapatero Gaviria, Antonio; Barba Martín, Raquel; Calvo Manuel, Elpidio; Canora Lebrato, Jesus; Lorenzo Villalba, Noel; Méndez Bailón, Manuel
    Background: The incidence of cholecystectomy is increasing as the result of the aging worldwide. Our aim was to determine the influence of heart failure on in-hospital outcomes in patients undergoing cholecystectomy in the Spanish National Health System (SNHS). Methods: We conducted a retrospective study using the Spanish National Hospital Discharge Database. Patients older than 17 years undergoing cholecystectomy in the period 2007–2015 were included. Demographic and administrative variables related to patients’ diseases as well as procedures were collected. Results: 478,111 episodes of cholecystectomy were identified according to the data from SNHS hospitals in the period evaluated. From all the episodes, 3357 (0.7%) were excluded, as the result the sample was represented by 474,754 episodes. Mean age was 58.3 (+16.5) years, and 287,734 (60.5%) were women (p < 0.001). A primary or secondary diagnosis of HF was identified in 4244 (0.89%) (p < 0.001) and mean age was 76.5 (+9.6) years. A higher incidence of all main complications studied was observed in the HF group (p < 0.001), except stroke (p = 0.753). Unadjusted in-hospital mortality was 1.1%, 12.9% in the group with HF versus 1% in the non HF group (p < 0.001). Average length of hospital stay was 5.4 (+8.9) days, and was higher in patients with HF (16.2 + 17.7 vs. 5.3 + 8.8; p < 0.001). Risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality models’ discrimination was high in both cases, with AUROC values = 0.963 (0.960–0.965) in the APRG-DRG model and AUROC = 0.965 (0.962–0.968) in the CMS adapted model. Median odds ratio (MOR) was high (1.538 and 1.533, respectively), stating an important variability of risk-adjusted outcomes among hospitals. Conclusions: The presence of HF during admission increases in hospital mortality and lengthens the hospital stay in patients undergoing cholecystectomy. However, mortality and hospital stay have significantly decreased during the study period in both groups (HF and non HF patients).

    Spanish population‐study shows that healthy late preterm infants had worse outcomes one year after discharge than term‐born infants
    (Acta Paediatrica: Nurturing the Child, 2018) Sánchez Luna, Manuel Ramón; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; Bernal, José Luis; Elola Somoza, Francisco Javier
    Aim: This study assessed the risks associated with healthy late preterm infants and healthy term-born infants using national hospital discharge records. Method: We used the minimum basic data set of the Spanish hospital discharge records database for 2012-2013 to analyse the hospitalisation of newborn infants. The outcomes were in-hospital mortality and hospital re-admissions at 30 days and one year after their first discharge. Results: Of the 95 011 newborn infants who were discharged, 2940 were healthy late preterm infants, born at 34 + 0-36 + 6 weeks, and 18 197 were healthy term-born infants. The mean and standard deviation (SD) length of hospital stay were 6.0 (4.5) days in late preterm infants versus 2.8 (1.3) days in term-born infants (p < 0.001). Re-admissions were also higher in the late preterm group at 30 days (9.0% versus 4.4%) and one year (22.0% versus 12.4) (p < 0.001). The relative risk for death at one year was 4.9 in the late preterm group, when compared to the term-born infants (p = 0.026). Conclusion: The hospital discharge codes for otherwise healthy newborn preterm infants were associated with significantly worse 30-day and one-year outcomes when their re-admission and mortality rates were compared with healthy term-born newborn infants
