The real-world management of acute mesenteric ischemia in Spain: results from a multicenter national survey.
Observational study in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06428240 (Reality of Acute Mesenteric Ischemia in Catalonia, is There a Chance to Improvement?), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundAcute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) remains one of the most lethal vascular emergencies, with in-hospital mortality rates frequently exceeding 50%. Although early diagnosis and timely revascularization are critical, clinical practice remains highly variable. This study aimed to evaluate the real-world management of AMI in Spain, identifying gaps in resources, protocols, and interhospital coordination.
methodsA national cross-sectional survey was conducted between March and August 2024 using the Survio
resultsA total of 291 surgeons responded. The median age was 40 years (IQR: 17). Most were consultants (76.3%) working in tertiary (42.6%), secondary (33%), or community hospitals (24.4%). While 97.6% reported access to 24/7 multiphasic CT and 90.4% to round-the-clock radiology, only 51.9% had 24/7 interventional radiology and 60.1% vascular surgery. Just 26.8% had institutional AMI protocols. The median distance to a referral center was 25 km (range: 2-250 km), and 68.4% reported difficulty in patient transfers. While 96.9% felt competent managing AMI, only 36.4% were familiar with the term "intestinal stroke." A total of 76.3% expressed interest in joining a national AMI registry.
conclusionsSpanish surgeons report high self-perceived clinical competence in AMI management, but systemic fragmentation, lack of protocols, and logistical barriers limit optimal care. These findings underscore the urgent need for coordinated regional networks, standardized care pathways, and multidisciplinary collaboration to improve outcomes in acute mesenteric ischemia across European healthcare systems.
