METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of retracted research papers published in scientific journals focusing on the field of biomedical research and identified by means of the Retraction Watch database. The retracted articles identified were required to have at least one author whose instit…
Attributable mortality to secondhand tobacco smoke exposure in the 27 Brazilian federal units in 2019
In Brazil, exposure to SHS is estimated to cause between 30 and 60 deaths per day. The mortality rates varied across federal units. Differences in the risk sources and the selection of health outcomes significantly influence mortality estimates. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening the enforcement of tobacco control policies by health authorities in Brazil

Research misconduct has negative consequences and has generated public scepticism about research, which has led to increasing distrust in science. In this context, a joint effort by the scientific community, academic institutions, scientific journals and research funders is …
Sedentary behavior and physical inactivity from a comprehensive perspective
To characterize the prevalence of physical activity in the population aged ≥16 years integrating sedentarism and physical inactivity. A cross-sectional study using data from the Galician Risk Behavior Data System (n = 12,928) was conducted. The population was classified into four categories: physically active (active and non-sedentary), active but sedentary (active and sedentary), lightly active (inactive and non-sedentary), and extremely sedenta…

Mortalidad atribuida al consumo de tabaco en Brasil, 1996-2019
Analizar la carga del consumo de tabaco en la mortalidad y en los años de esperanza de vida perdidos en población ≥35 años en Brasil en el periodo 1996-2019, e identificar cambios de tendencia en la mortalidad atribuida. Para estimar la mortalidad atribuida se aplicó un método independiente de prevalencia que asume la tasa de mortalidad por cáncer de pulmón como indicador indirecto del riesgo acumulado asociado al consumo de tabaco. La mortalidad…
Covid-19 Variability Within European Countries Sourced From ECDC Data. Is Variability Explained by Specific Country Policies
Background Europe has had a large variability in COVID-19 incidence between and within countries, particularly after June 2020. We aim to assess the variability between European countries and regions located in a given country. Methods We used ECDC information including countries having 7 regions or more. The metric used to assess the regional variability within a country was the intercuartilic range in a weekly basis for 32 weeks between June 29…
Representatividad del Registro de Tumores Torácicos de España. Comparación de datos sociodemográficos con otros registros nacionales
En España, debido a la falta de datos, se creó un registro de cáncer de pulmón, el Registro de Tumores Torácicos (RTT), el cual debería demostrar su comparabilidad con los datos poblacionales para tener una representatividad adecuada. Con esta finalidad, se comparan las características sociodemográficas del RTT con los datos de incidencia de la Red de Registros de Cáncer (REDECAN) y de mortalidad del Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE). Se ut…

Comparison of Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 papers
The need to generate evidence related to COVID-19, the acceleration of publication and peer-review process and the competition between journals may have influenced the quality of COVID-19 papers. Our objective was to compare the characteristics of COVID-19 papers against those of non-COVID-19 papers and identify the variables in which they differ. We conducted a journal-matched case-control study. Cases were COVID-19 papers and controls were non-…
