Economic evaluations of health care interventions in oropharyngeal dysphagia after stroke: protocol for a systematic review
DiscussionThe protocol for this systematic review is the first step to assess the cost-effectiveness of the healthcare interventions that have been described as potential treatments for post-stroke OD. This systematic review will summarise the current evidence on the relation between cost and benefits associated with the appropriate management of OD in post-stroke patients.Trial registrationPROSPEROCRD42020136245

No association between fish consumption and risk of stroke in the Spanish cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-Spain): a 13·8-year follow-up study.
CONCLUSIONS: In the EPIC-Spain cohort, no association was found between lean fish, fatty fish and total fish consumption and risk of stroke. PMID: 26880327 [PubMed - in process]

Outcomes measured by mortality rates, quality of life and degree of autonomy in the first year in stroke units in Spain
Conclusions: There has been a change in the prognosis for stroke in Spain in recent years as the quality of life at 1 year observed in our study is clearly higher than that obtained in other Spanish studies conducted previously. Moreover, survival and functional outcome have also improved following the introduction of a new model of care. These results clearly promote extension of the model based on stroke units and reinforced rehabilitation to the majority of the more than 100,000 strokes that occur annually in Spain.

A Real World Evidence Model To Compare Direct Oral Anticoagulants Safety Outcomes For Atrial Fibrillation Patients In Spain
In the last 10 years, different treatments for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (SPAF) have been launched in Spain. However, little is known about clinical outcomes and cost associated to patient events in real world practice. The aim of this model is to assist in the decision making of treatment selection based on the risk of a patient having an event.

Video games to improve mobility after a stroke
(FECYT - Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology) A joint research by the Basque research center BCBL and the London Imperial College reveals that, after a cerebral infarction, injuries in areas that control attention also cause motility problems. The authors propose to complement physiotherapy with another type of cognitive training, such as video games.

RWD149 Reduction in Ischemic Stroke Rates in Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation During the Period 2013-2020: A Real-Life Study in Spain
The aim of this study is to analyze the variations in the incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality rates in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) receiving antithrombotic treatment (VKA, NOAC or antiplatelet drugs) between 2013 and 2020. In addition, this study estimates the impact of these variations in the use of healthcare resources and costs in Spain.

EE498 Cost of Follow-Up After an Ischemic Cerebrovascular Event in Patients With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Spain: Results from the Reality Study
Ischemic cerebrovascular events stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) are a cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries and entails a high resources consumption and costs for health systems. These patients have an increased risk of suffering a new event with the consequent additional resource consumption and an increased follow-up cost.

Evidence of the adverse effects of air pollution on the population's health in Spain: analysis of the economic costs of premature deaths
This study explores the relation between mortality rates and particulate matter (PM) concentrations in the 50 Spanish regions for the period 2002-2017. Moreover, we estimated the premature deaths due to PM in Spain according to welfare and production losses in 2017. Random-effects models were developed to evaluate the relation between mortality rates and PM concentrations. The economic cost of premature deaths was assessed using the Willingness to Pay approach to quantify welfare losses and the Human Capital method to estimate production losses. PM10 concentrations are positively related to mortality due to respiratory dis...
