Objective: To develop and validate a prediction model of mortality in patients with COVID-19 attending hospital emergency rooms. Design: Multivariable prognostic prediction model. Setting: 127 Spanish hospitals. Participants: Derivation (DC) and external validation (VC) cohorts were obtained from m...

Sleep duration and napping in relation to colorectal and gastric cancer in the MCC-Spain study 

Sleep duration is a novel and potentially modifiable risk factor for cancer. We evaluated the association of self-reported sleep duration and daytime napping with odds of colorectal and gastric cancer. We included 2008 incident colorectal cancer cases, 542 gastric cancer cases and 3622 frequency-ma...

The Association of Nighttime Fasting Duration and Prostate Cancer Risk: Results from the Multicase-Control (MCC) Study in Spain 

Nighttime fasting has been inconclusively associated with a reduced risk of cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate this association in relation to prostate cancer risk. We examined data from 607 prostate cancer cases and 848 population controls who had never worked in night shift work...

Effect of mistimed eating patterns on breast and prostate cancer risk (MCC-Spain Study) 

Modern life involves mistimed sleeping and eating patterns that in experimental studies are associated with adverse health effects. We assessed whether timing of meals is associated with breast and prostate cancer risk taking into account lifestyle and chronotype, a characteristic correlating with ...
