    Ponencia presentada en: VIII Congreso de la Asociación Española de Climatología celebrado en Salamanca entre el 25 y el 28 de septiembre de 2012.[ES]Se realiza un estudio climatológico de las descargas eléctricas en el entorno de la isla de Mallorca a partir de datos de la Agencia Estatal de Meteorología para el período comprendido entre el 1 de julio de 1994 y el 31 de diciembre de 2010, considerando un área de 10.807 km2, de los cuáles 3.649,24 km2 (33,7%) se corresponden con la superficie de la isla de Mallorca y el resto (66,3%) con superficie marítima. Se detecta un máximo de actividad durante el final de la época cálida, con una punta muy marcada en el mes de septiembre, mes en el que destaca tanto en número total de descargas como en número de días de tormenta. Además, se observa un máximo secundario primaveral centrado en el mes de mayo. Horariamente aparecen dos máximos, uno en torno a medianoche y otro a mediodía, correspondiéndose el primero con descargas en el mar y el segundo en tierra.[EN]A cloud to ground lightning climatology is studied around Mallorca using data from AEMET between July 1994 and December 2010, studying an area of 10.807 km2. 3.649,24 km2 (33,7%) of that area correspond to the island itself, and the rest (66,3%) to the maritime area. The maximum activity is detected at the end of the hot season, with a considerable maximum in September, both in number of CG lightning and days of storm. A second maximum is detected during the spring, with its highest value in May. Hourly two maximum appear, one around midnight and the other one around midday.Trabajo financiado por el proyecto CGL2011-29263-C02-02 Estructura diaria y 10-minutal de la precipitación y su caracterización sinóptica objetiva en el mar Balear (Baleares)

    Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
