Aim. To describe the orthogeriatric activity in the elderly with hip fractures in the Hospital Mancha Centro, based on the recommendations of the main guidelines. Material and method. Observational prospective study, comprising all patients over 65 years of age admitted to the Traumatology Unit with a hip fracture between April 2015 and December 2015. Patients were admitted under the care of the Traumatology Unit with cross-consultation carried out with the Geriatrics Department, which then carried out a pre-operative geriatric assessment and the post-operative follow-ups. Results. The mean pre-surgery waiting time was 48h and the overall time in hospital was 10.3±8.2 days. Patients who suffered from delirium (42.1%) did not improve as well, and were referred to nursing homes. Blood transfusions were received by 54.7% of the patients, despite 53.5% of them having received intravenous and/or oral iron after the surgery. Treatment with calcium and vitamin D was prescribed in 79% of the patients on discharge. The Rehabilitation Unit assessed 36% of the patients, with 4.8% fully, and 16.7% partially recovering their prior functional status. Upon discharge, 55% of the patients returned to their homes, and 22% were referred to short-term assisted living facilities. Discussion. This article describes how the main clinical problems are handled in the elderly with hip fractures in our hospital, based on recommendations of the main guidelines and publications. Conclusions. Our hospital follows the recommended guidelines. Aspects for improvement include the management of anaemia during admission and rehabilitation (AU)

[Health care analysis of eating disorders in Valladolid]. / Análisis asistencial en los trastornos del comportamiento alimentario en Valladolid.

One of the aims of epidemiological research is to provide some information that makes it possible to adapt and structure health care services. There is an open debate on the need and/or adequacy of the specific units for care given to eating behavior disorders (EBD) and a proper health care model. One way to contribute some ideas in this debate is to make a critical analysis of the reality of the care given for eating behavior disorders, observing the activity of the different health care levels, in our case in the province of Valladolid. The existence of several epidemiological studies, coinciding in space and time, makes it possible to conclude that 23% of new cases treated in the Community are detected in primary health care, while the percentage of those seen by the child-adolescent psychiatry departments is reduced to 2.56%, 16% of which are referred from hospital admission. The regional proposal of promoting a reference hospital admission unit for eating behavior disorders for all of the region of Castilla y Leon is considered ineffective according to this reality, the creation of specific functional units being proposed.
