The study population included patients over 18 years of age with histopathological confirmed diagnosis of PDAC at HUSI. Data were collected on sociodemographics, clinical characteristics, morbidity, mortality, and variables related to the continuum of care. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed using Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests.Results: A total of 105 patients were included in the study. The majority (90.5%) received the proposed treatment, with palliative care being the most frequent approach (73.3%). A high prevalence of care fragmentation (CF) was observed in 41.9% of patients. CF was significantly associated with affiliation to a specific Health Benefits Plan Administrator (EAPB), having the intention of curative treatment, and presenting with early-stage pathology. The time interval between surgery and adjuvant therapy was longer in patients with CF.Conclusions: The study identifies a pattern of late diagnosis of PDAC, which frequently leads to an initial palliative treatment approach. There was a high prevalence of CF which, coupled with late diagnosis, suggests the need to improve coordination of care. A significant association between CF and factors such as affiliation to particular EAPBs, the intention to receive curative treatment, and early-stage pathology was identified, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions aimed at optimizing access and continuity of care in this population.","PeriodicalId":520465,"journal":{"name":"Revista de salud publica (Bogota, Colombia)","volume":"27 5","pages":"121373"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12755214/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145890310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the ruling, motivated by the high number of tutela or amparo actions that asked judges to protect the right to health, the Court pointed out structural flaws that prevented the effective enjoyment of the right to health. In response to this problem, the Court issued a series of orders addressed to the actors of the health system and created a special chamber to follow up on these orders. This work aims to identify progress in the implementation of Court orders and changes in the system around benefit plan, coverage and access, financial sustainability, and resource flow. The results indicate that no significant progress has been made by 2024, with assessments similar to those of 2015 and 2018. Although some progress has been identified, it does not reach high levels of compliance, and obstacles persist in access to services and in the flow of resources. It is suggested that analyses be carried out that account for the impact of compliance with the orders on the guarantee of the right to health.","PeriodicalId":520465,"journal":{"name":"Revista de salud publica (Bogota, Colombia)","volume":"27 4","pages":"121060"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12755215/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145890269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Lipid Hypothesis, derived from the \"Seven Countries Study\", linked animal-based saturated fat consumption to cardiovascular disease, fostering \"lipophobia\" and promoting diets rich in carbohydrates and ultra-processed vegetable oils. Paradoxically, these dietary shifts have been associated with a global rise in chronic metabolic diseases such as diabesity. Similarly, the BZ concept, popularized by Dan Buettner and National Geographic, suggested that regions like Sardinia, Okinawa, and Ikaria harbor populations with extreme longevity due to lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and community support. However, the lack of comprehensive global epidemiological studies, biased population selection, and uncontrolled confounding variables compromise these claims. Moreover, recent investigations indicate that many longevity records in BZs may result from clerical errors or fraudulent documentation, especially in regions with unreliable vital records. This paper highlights the emerging evidence that both the low-comorbidity longevity attributed to BZs and the implications of the Lipid Hypothesis are largely based on flawed data. Additionally, it highlights how the food and pharmaceutical industries have leveraged these models to promote the marketing of BZs, excessive medicalization, and high-carbohydrate diets like the Mediterranean diet, exacerbating the current pandemic of chronic diseases.","PeriodicalId":520465,"journal":{"name":"Revista de salud publica (Bogota, Colombia)","volume":"27 3","pages":"119673"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13095116/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147794163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
