RESUMEN
AIM: assess the prescription of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in the Northern Area of Gran Canaria in the period 2016-2021. MATERIALS AND METHODS: based on electronic prescription data, the first ONS prescription during 2016-2021 was analyzed considering age, gender, nutritional requirements (NR), body mass index (BMI), percentage of weight loss (%WL), albumin and number of prescribed ONS per patient. RESULTS: 10,595 prescriptions were identified corresponding to 6661 patients with the following characteristics: 46.3 % men, mean age 72.84 ± 15.93 years, BMI 20.60 ± 3.98 kg/m2, %WL 11.89 ± 8.32 %; albumin 3.08 ± 0.63 g/dl. The most frequent etiologies of DRE were: neoplasms 42.6 %; degenerative processes of the CNS 28.9 %; stroke 3.9 %; short intestine 6.9 %, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) 5.5 %. The percentages of NR covered by the prescribed ONS were: 100 % in 8.9 % of cases, 50 % in 36.9 %, and 25 % in 54.2 %; 40.4 % of patients received 1 unit of ONS daily, 36.3 % took 2 units of ONS, and 23 % received > 3 units of ONS per day. Greater NR were associated with a greater number of ONS (p < 0.001), but 40.8 % of patients who needed to cover > 50 % of NR received only one unit of ONS. CONCLUSION: a significant percentage of patients with DRM do not receive a number of ONS according to their NR.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Metabolic syndrome is common in patients with hypertension and increases the risk of developing diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study (the MARCADOR study) was to compare the effects of manidipine 20 mg with the extemporary combination of manidipine 10 mg/lisinopril 10 mg, amlodipine 10 mg and telmisartan 80 mg on insulin sensitivity, as well as metabolic, inflammatory and prothrombotic markers, in hypertensive non-diabetic patients with metabolic syndrome. METHODS: This study had a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) design. A total of 120 patients aged 35-75 years with stage I-II essential hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] 140-179 mmHg, diastolic BP 90-109 mmHg) and metabolic syndrome were recruited from general practitioner clinics in Northern Gran Canaria Island, Spain and randomized to receive amlodipine 10 mg (n = 30), telmisartan 80 mg (n = 30), manidipine 20 mg (n = 30) or (low-dose) manidipine 10 mg/lisinopril 10 mg (n = 30), all administered once daily. At baseline and after 14 weeks of treatment, BP, insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, and albumin and metanephrin excretion as well as several other metabolic, inflammatory, prothrombotic and growth/adhesion markers were measured. The primary endpoint was the change in insulin sensitivity. RESULTS: A total of 115 patients completed the study. All treatments significantly lowered BP from baseline. Compared with amlodipine, manidipine had significantly superior effects (p < 0.05) on insulin resistance (-26.5% vs -3.0%), albumin/creatinine ratio (-28.2% vs -3.6%), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (-6.8% vs +1.7%), and several other metabolic, inflammatory and prothrombotic markers. Manidipine was associated with a slightly greater increase in insulin sensitivity than manidipine/lisinopril, but manidipine/lisinopril was significantly more effective than manidipine and telmisartan for improving a number of metabolic, inflammatory, prothrombotic and growth/adhesion markers. Amlodipine was associated with a significantly greater incidence of adverse effects compared with telmisartan, manidipine and manidipine/lisinopril (26.7% vs 3.3%, 3.3% and 13.3%, respectively). CONCLUSION: In patients with hypertension and metabolic syndrome, manidipine, both alone and in combination with the ACE inhibitor lisinopril, is significantly superior to amlodipine for improving insulin sensitivity as well as several metabolic, inflammatory and prothrombotic markers. Furthermore, the combination of manidipine and lisinopril appears to have greater efficacy than manidipine alone and telmisartan with respect to the improvement of metabolic, inflammatory and prothrombotic markers.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the degree of control of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in a sample of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) attending Endocrinology and Nutrition Departments in Spain. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An epidemiological, cross-sectional, multicenter and observational study involving 41 Departments of Endocrinology and Nutrition in Spain. Each department selected patients with DM with over 10 years of evolution, which were treated in outpatient settings. Demographic, anthropometric, clinical and biochemical data, including medication, were collected for each participant. RESULTS: 1159 patients who met the inclusion criteria were recruited. 52% of the participants were patients with type 2 DM. The mean duration of DM was 19.6 years. A proportion of 37%, 44%, 27.6% and 25.5% had good control of their blood pressure (BP), low density cholesterol (LDLc), lipids and glucose, respectively, and only 4.3% did well in all factors evaluated. The percentage of poorly controlled BP was four times higher in type 2 than in type 1 DM. Obesity, low cultural level and aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors were associated with poorer control. CONCLUSIONS: The degree of control of CVRF in diabetic patients with long disease duration is insufficient.

Objetivo Conocer el grado de control de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular (FRCV) en una muestra de pacientes con diabetes mellitus (DM) asistidos en servicios de endocrinología y nutrición (SEyN) en España. Material y métodos Estudio epidemiológico, transversal, multicéntrico y observacional en el que participaron 41 SEyN en España. Cada servicio incluyó a pacientes con DM de más de 10 años de evolución que fueron atendidos en consultas externas. Se recogieron datos de filiación, antropométricos y clínicos, incluida medicación y datos bioquímicos. Resultados Se reclutaron a 1.159 pacientes que cumplían los criterios de inclusión. El 52% de los participantes fueron pacientes con DM-2, y la duración de la DM fue de 19,6 años. El 37%, el 44%, el 27,6% y el 25,5% presentaron buen control de la presión arterial (PA), colesterol de las lipoproteínas de baja densidad (cLDL), lípidos y glucemia, respectivamente, y solo el 4,3% tuvo un buen control de todos los factores evaluados. Los pacientes con DM tipo 2 presentaron una PA no controlada con una frecuencia 4 veces superior a la de los pacientes con DM tipo 1 (p<0,0001). La obesidad, el bajo nivel educativo y la agregación de los FRCV se asociaron a peor control. Conclusiones El grado de control de los FRCV en los pacientes diabéticos de larga evolución es insuficiente (AU)
