RESUMO
Introducción: El síndrome de intestino corto (SIC) es una alteración de la absorción de los nutrientes causado, frecuentemente, por la resección quirúrgica del intestino delgado. El espectro de las manifestaciones clínicas varía ampliamente, según la longitud remanente del intestino delgado.Objetivo:Conocer la prevalencia de los casos de SIC en España en el año 2018.Método:Estudio observacional transversal multicéntrico, de base poblacional, mediante cuestionario telemático en el que se recogen los datos de los pacientes diagnosticados de SIC en 2018.Resultados:De un total de 541 centros sanitarios seleccionados, del Catálogo Nacional de Hospitales del Ministerio de Sanidad, participaron 101 hospitales. Con los datos obtenidos, la prevalencia de SIC en España se estimaría en 4,18 pacientes por millón de habitantes durante ese año.Conclusiones:La falta de participación dificulta obtener resultados concluyentes, lo que resulta mucho más importante cuando se trata de problemas de salud poco prevalentes.

Introduction: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a disturbance in nutrient absorption often caused by surgical resection of the small intestine. The spectrum of clinical manifestations varies widely, depending on the remaining length of the small intestine.Objective:To estimate the prevalence of cases of SBS cases in Spain in 2018.Method:A population-based, multicenter cross-sectional study, using an online survey, that collects data from patients diagnosed with SBS in 2018.Results:From a total of 541 health centers selected, of the National Catalog of Hospitals of the Ministry of Health, 101 hospitals took part in. With the data obtained, the prevalence of SIC in Spain would be estimated at 4.18 patients per million inhabitants during that year.Conclusions:Lack of participation makes it difficult to obtain conclusive results, which is much more important when it comes to low prevalence health topics.

OBJETIVO: Evaluar la asociación entre la exposición a los principales contaminantes químicos del agua de consumo humano (ACH) y el aumento de casos de cáncer en menores de 19 años. MÉTODOS: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica recogida en las bases de datos MEDLINE (via PubMed©), EMBASE©, Web of Knowledge, Cochrane Library Plus, Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud (LILACS), SCOPUS y SCIRUS. Los descriptores utilizados fueron "neoplasms" y "water pollution, chemical", limitado a estudios que incluyeran a menores de 19 años. Se seleccionaron los artículos científicos de cualquier tipo y en cualquier idioma, desde el inicio de la indización de la fuente primaria hasta marzo de 2011. RESULTADOS: Se recuperaron 266 artículos, de los que se seleccionaron 20 tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Los contaminantes del ACH analizados fueron: arsénico, subproductos de la desinfección, compuestos nitrogenados, derivados del petróleo, plaguicidas agrícolas, radionúclidos, así como otros de origen industrial. La mayoría de los estudios no hallaron una asociación significativa entre la exposición a los contaminantes encontrados en el ACH y el aumento de casos de cáncer en menores de 19 años. En algunas de las poblaciones estudiadas se observó una relación significativa dosis-respuesta en el período de exposición. CONCLUSIONES: Teniendo en cuenta el insuficiente nivel de actualidad de los artículos encontrados, se requieren más estudios dirigidos a conocer el efecto real de la contaminación del ACH en la incidencia de cáncer en la población, en particular en los niños y jóvenes por su mayor susceptibilidad.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between exposure to the main chemical contaminants in drinking water and the rise in cancer cases among the population under age 19. METHODS: A systematic review was undertaken of the scientific literature compiled in the MEDLINE (via PubMed©), EMBASE©, Web of Knowledge, Cochrane Library Plus, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), SCOPUS, and SCIRUS databases. The descriptors used were "neoplasms" and "water pollution, chemical," limited to studies that included people under age 19. Articles selected were of any type in any language, from the inception of the indexing of the primary source until March of 2011. RESULTS: The search generated 266 articles, from which 20 were selected after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Drinking water contaminants analyzed were arsenic, disinfection byproducts, nitrogen compounds, petroleum derivatives, agricultural pesticides, radionuclides, and others of industrial origin. The majority of the studies did not find a significant link between exposure to drinking water contaminants and the increase in cancer cases in the under-19 population segment. In some of the studied populations a significant dose-response relationship was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Taking into account that the articles located were insufficiently up-to-date, more studies are required in order to know the effect of drinking water contamination on cancer rates, in particular among children and youths, who are more susceptible.
