Abstract
Low-value clinical practices – defined as diagnostic or therapeutic interventions that provide limited clinical benefit and may be associated with unnecessary risks or costs – remain common in endocrinology and nutrition. The Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) presents this second edition as an updated set of recommendations on “what not to do” in clinical practice, developed by its sections and working groups. The methodological process included the selection of relevant topics, systematic literature review, and multidisciplinary consensus. Key areas addressed include diabetes, obesity, nutrition, gonads, lipids, laboratory, mineral metabolism, and imaging, identifying low-value interventions and offering alternatives based on the best available evidence. The implementation of these recommendations aims to optimize care quality, reduce risks, and contribute to the sustainability of the healthcare system.
期刊介绍:
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición, SEEN) and the Spanish Society of Diabetes (Sociedad Española de Diabetes, SED), and was founded in 1954.
The aim of the journal is to improve knowledge and be a useful tool in practice for clinical and laboratory specialists, trainee physicians, researchers, and nurses interested in endocrinology, diabetes, nutrition and related disciplines.
It is an international journal published in Spanish (print and online) and English (online), covering different fields of endocrinology and metabolism, including diabetes, obesity, and nutrition disorders, as well as the most relevant research produced mainly in Spanish language territories.
The quality of the contents is ensured by a prestigious national and international board, and by a selected panel of specialists involved in a rigorous peer review. The result is that only manuscripts containing high quality research and with utmost interest for clinicians and professionals related in the field are published.
The Journal publishes Original clinical and research articles, Reviews, Special articles, Clinical Guidelines, Position Statements from both societies and Letters to the editor.
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición can be found at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/PubMed and SCOPUS.
