Abstract
PURPOSE Tri-weekly carboplatin is an established neoadjuvant treatment for triple-negative breast cancer, enhancing pathological complete response (pCR) and overall survival. This study explores if weekly carboplatin provides lower toxicity and comparable pCR rates. METHODS/PATIENTS A retrospective multicenter study (January 2021 to March 2023) compares outcomes of weekly and tri-weekly carboplatin. RESULTS Among 104 participants, 60% received weekly and 40% tri-weekly treatments. Weekly administration had fewer discontinuations (56.5 vs. 70.7%, p = 0.154). Both schedules exhibited similar overall toxicity (p = 0.087), with slightly higher grade 3-4 toxicity in the tri-weekly group (56.1 vs. 48.4%, p = 0.126). Hematological toxicity was comparable, but the weekly group experienced more diarrhea (p = 0.432) and asthenia (p = 0.012). Weekly treatment correlated with more frequent breast-conserving surgeries (p = 0.004). pCR rates were 50% with weekly and 61% with tri-weekly regimens (p = 0.186). CONCLUSIONS Weekly carboplatin exhibited comparable toxicity, a trend toward fewer interruptions, and similar pCR rates. Prospective studies are essential for validating these findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the main goals of the rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) is the reintegration of the individual to their family, social, and work setting. The objective of this study was to identify the factors that determine the discharge destination after a traumatic spinal cord injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of 305 patients with SCI who completed the rehabilitation treatment at the spinal injury unit of Hospital Insular de Gran Canaria between 2001 and 2018. RESULTS During the study period, we observed an increase in the number of patients referred to long-term care centres, from 9.14% between 2001 and 2010 to 18.4% between 2011 and 2018 (P < .01). Of 20 variables that presented a significant association with destination at discharge in the univariate study, 7 presented a significant association in the multivariate study: age (OR: 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.08), living with a partner (OR: 0.26; 95% CI, 0.09-0.76), residing on another island (OR: 3.57; 95% CI, 1.32-9.63), smoking (OR: 3.44; 95% CI, 1.26-9.44), diabetes (OR: 6.51; 95% CI, 1.46-29.02), history of psychiatric disorders (OR: 3.79; 95% CI, 1.31-10.93), and scores on the Spinal Cord Independence Measure-III (SCIM-III) (OR: 0.48; 95% CI, 0.33-0.69). CONCLUSIONS Our findings identified advanced age, living on the island of Tenerife, not being married, smoking, type 2 diabetes mellitus, history of psychiatric disorders, and low SCIM-III scores as predictive factors of referral to a long-term care centre in patients with traumatic SCI in the Canary Islands.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the factors influencing functional improvement of cervical spinal cord injuries during hospital admission. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study of patients with an acute cervical spinal cord injury who had completed a rehabilitation programme in the Spinal Cord Injuries Unit of the Canary Islands between 2001 and 2018. To measure functional improvement, we administered the Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM III) on admission and at discharge. RESULTS Of the 141 patients in our sample, 88% were men. Worse functional results were observed in older patients, those with a history of alcohol consumption, complete lesions and those with more severe lesions on the ASIA scale. Factors significantly associated with functional improvement were the interval between injury and admission to the unit, length of hospital stay, and the interval between injury and hospital discharge. CONCLUSIONS Older patients, as well as those with a history of alcohol intake, complete lesions and greater severity on the ASIA scale, had worse functional outcomes. In contrast, early admission was crucial to obtain better functional outcomes and was associated with shorter hospital stays.
