Los venezolanos constituyen el colectivo de inmigrantes en España que más ha crecido en los últimos años, dirigiéndose a las zonas más urbanizadas del país, sobre todo Madrid, Canarias y Cataluña. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es estudiar y caracterizar el comportamiento y localización de la inmigración venezolana en la ciudad de Madrid, pa...
El estudio de las segundas generaciones en España está cobrando cada vez mayor importancia como consecuencia del volumen de éstas, veinte años después de la máxima llegada de inmigrantes a nuestro país. El objetivo principal de nuestra investigación es abordar los efectos de variables fundamentales como el lugar de residencia, el bagaje educativo y...
Abstract Background Lower respiratory tract viral infection (LRTI) is a significant cause of morbidity-mortality in older people worldwide. We analyzed the association between short-term exposure to environmental factors (climatic factors and outdoor air pollution) and hospital admissions with a viral LRTI diagnosis in older adults. Methods We cond...
La planificación urbana y territorial impacta en la salud de la población a través de la
modificación de los diferentes determinantes de salud. La necesidad de someter a Evaluación de
Impacto en Salud (EIS) las normas, planes, programas o proyectos queda recogida a nivel estatal
en la Ley 33/2011, de 4 de octubre, General de Salud Pública. En virtu...
Objective
This study evaluated the association of the short-term exposure to environmental factors (relative humidity, temperature, NO2, SO2, O3, PM10, and CO) with hospital admissions due to acute viral lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in children under two years before the COVID-19 era.
Methods
We performed a bidirectional case-crossover stud...
La segregación residencial por razones étnicas se constata en las ciudades españolas a partir de la última década del siglo XX con la llegada de una fuerte corriente inmigratoria internacional. Este artículo tiene como objetivo principal medir el nivel de desigualdad de la distribución de la población inmigrante en la ciudad de Madrid a partir de l...
Objective
Pneumonia is a common cause of morbidity and sepsis worldwide, mainly in the elderly. We evaluated the impact of short-term exposure to environmental factors on hospital admissions for sepsis-related pneumonia in a nationwide study in Spain.
Methods
We conducted a bidirectional case-crossover study in patients who had sepsis-related pneu...
La educación constituye uno de los pilares fundamentales de la sociedad y se ve afectada de forma compleja por los fenómenos migratorios. Esto supone un doble reto, tanto para el sistema educativo del país receptor como para los propios estudiantes y sus familias. En este trabajo se evalúa si el éxito educativo español es diferente según el lugar d...
Los movimientos migratorios de retorno desde España están sufriendo cambios significativos en la última década. Este trabajo analiza la situación actual tras el llamado boom de los retornos durante los años más duros de la crisis. La metodología utilizada combina el análisis cuantitativo de los datos estadísticos con técnicas cualitativas que ayuda...
Immigrant entrepreneurs have had to adapt or even abandon their businesses due to the impact of the economic crisis that affected consumption especially and, therefore, business activity in general. In order to appreciate the changes at this stage of significant impact of the crisis, six urban axes of the city of Madrid have been selected that have...
The aim of our study was to evaluate the seasonal variations and whether short-term exposure to environmental risk factors, such as climate and air pollution, is associated with PTB-related hospital admissions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in Spain during the era of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART). A retrospective s...

Introduction:
Specific environmental factors may play a role in the development of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in HIV-positive patients. The aim of this study was to estimate the PCP incidence and mortality in hospitalized HIV-positive patients in Spain during the combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) era (1997 to 2011), as well as to analyze...
The AIDS pandemic continues to be one of the main problems affecting development and safety throughout the world, in Spain and more specifically in the Community of Madrid (CM). The first to be affected were homosexual/bisexual men, followed by intravenous drug users and infection through heterosexual transmission, a route which affected women, and...
Spain continues to be one of the countries with the highest HIV/AIDS incidence rates in Western Europe. The Community of Madrid is the area most affected by the infection, with a total of 17,667 cases of AIDS until December 2008, accounting for 23.9% of the cases recorded on a nation level. The south and north-eastern districts of the aforementione...
Little is known about immunologic reconstitution in children on highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) during very long-term periods. A retrospective study was carried out to assess the effectiveness and development of metabolic disorders after very long-term periods on HAART in HIV-infected children with severe immunodeficiency. We include...
To evaluate any possible association between indicators of social inequalities and the geographical distribution of HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) cases in Madrid.
We carried out an observational survey of 224 HIV-1 vertically infected children born in 1980-2006 living in Madrid. We elaborated maps representing the prevalence of HIV-1 MT...
There are few data on long-term effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on weight and height in HIV-infected children.
Our objective was to assess the effect of HAART on the weight and height of HIV-infected children over time in the Madrid cohort, and analyze possible factors associated with the effect.
This was a retrospective stu...
Estudio financiado por la Fundación para la Investigación y la Prevención del Sida en España (FIPSE;12456/03), FIS (PI040883, PI052479, PI052472, PI052411), Plan Nacional de Salud (SAF 2003-09209, SAF-2004-06778), Red Temática Cooperativa de Investigación en Sida (RIS G03/173) del FIS y Red Temática Cooperativa de Investigación en Genética (RIG C03...
To determine whether viral load (VL) prior to undetectable VL has predictive value on the re-emergence of VL (> 400 copies/ml, > 5,000 copies/ml and > 30,000 copies/ml).
Retrospective study carried out on 81 vertically human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children on antiretroviral therapy who were distributed in 3 groups according to their...
Antiretroviral treatment (ART) in children has special features and consequently, results obtained from clinical trials with antiretroviral drugs in adults may not be representative of children. Nelfinavir (NFV) is an HIV-1 Protease Inhibitor (PI) which has become as one of the first choices of PI for ART in children. We studied during a 3-year fol...
Background. Use of antiretroviral therapy has resulted in a decrease in morbidity and mortality rates in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected children.Methods. We performed a retrospective study involving 427 children to determine the effectiveness of different antiretroviral therapy protocols on clinical outcome. The follow-up peri...
Several studies of children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 infection have demonstrated sustained increases in CD4+ cell count, even when virological failure has occurred after receipt of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but these studies were of limited duration. Moreover, the CD4+ cell count threshold at which antiretr...
The effects of HAART may differ between children and adults because children have a developing immune system, and the long-term immunological outcome in HIV-infected children on HAART is not well-known. A major aim of our study was to determine CD4+ evolution associated with long-term VL control during 4 years of observation on HAART.
We carried ou...
