    [Purpose]: The aim of this study was to analyse the characteristics of patients with IE in three groups of age and to assess the ability of age and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) to predict mortality. [Methods]: Prospective cohort study of all patients with IE included in the GAMES Spanish database between 2008 and 2015.Patients were stratified into three age groups:<65 years,65 to 80 years,and ≥ 80 years.The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve was calculated to quantify the diagnostic accuracy of the CCI to predict mortality risk. [Results]: A total of 3120 patients with IE (1327 < 65 years;1291 65-80 years;502 ≥ 80 years) were enrolled.Fever and heart failure were the most common presentations of IE, with no differences among age groups.Patients ≥80 years who underwent surgery were significantly lower compared with other age groups (14.3%,65 years; 20.5%,65-79 years; 31.3%,≥80 years). In-hospital mortality was lower in the <65-year group (20.3%,<65 years;30.1%,65-79 years;34.7%,≥80 years;p < 0.001) as well as 1-year mortality (3.2%, <65 years; 5.5%, 65-80 years;7.6%,≥80 years; p = 0.003).Independent predictors of mortality were age ≥ 80 years (hazard ratio [HR]:2.78;95% confidence interval [CI]:2.32–3.34), CCI ≥ 3 (HR:1.62; 95% CI:1.39–1.88),and non-performed surgery (HR:1.64;95% CI:11.16–1.58).When the three age groups were compared,the AUROC curve for CCI was significantly larger for patients aged <65 years(p < 0.001) for both in-hospital and 1-year mortality. [Conclusion]: There were no differences in the clinical presentation of IE between the groups. Age ≥ 80 years, high comorbidity (measured by CCI),and non-performance of surgery were independent predictors of mortality in patients with IE.CCI could help to identify those patients with IE and surgical indication who present a lower risk of in-hospital and 1-year mortality after surgery, especially in the <65-year group

    La profunda transformación que ha sufrido España tras la reimplantación de la democracia a partir del año 1977 tiene uno de sus reflejos más significativos en el mundo del deporte, en el que este país europeo e hispanoamericano ha emergido como una de las potencias actuales en todos los niveles: tanto en el Deporte Rendimiento como en el Deporte para Todos. De todo ello son responsables las nuevas administraciones públicas deportivas españolas, que en tres niveles (estatal, regional y local) han ido aclarando cuáles son sus competencias y desarrollado unas organizaciones modélicas en el desarrollo deportivo. Evidenciar esta transformación, tras un profundo análisis de las respectivas organizaciones, así como mostrar su modo de funcionamiento es el objetivo del presente artículo, siempre bajo la idea que hoy día, en cuestiones de Derecho del Deporte, España es un buen ejemplo a seguir.Universidad de Playa Ancha (Ciencias de la Educación)No data (2004)UE
