RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the factors associated with poor medication adherence in patients with DM and HTN in Peru. STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. METHODS: We analyzed data from the Peruvian Demographic and Family Health Survey from 2014 to 2019. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated to determine the factors associated with poor medication adherence. RESULTS: We included 15,184 participants with a known diagnosis of DM and HTN. The frequency of poor medication adherence was 37.1%, with 36.7% among individuals with HTN and 29.2% among individuals with DM. Those belonging to age groups above 30 years (aPR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.74-0.80, for the group ≥ 60 years) had a lower frequency of poor medication adherence. Meanwhile, being male (aPR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01-1.05), lacking health insurance (aPR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.05-1.10), belonging to lower wealth quintiles (aPR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.08-1.17, for the first quintile), and living in the mountain region (aPR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.06-1.12) were associated with a higher frequency of poor medication adherence. These findings were consistent when stratifying by the type of disease. CONCLUSION: This study showed that poor medication adherence is common in patients with HTN and DM in Peru and is associated with sociodemographic factors, highlighting the importance of public health approaches to improve adherence.

RESUMO

Antecedentes: La enfermedad de Kawasaki (EK) es una vasculitis aguda y autolimitada frecuente en menores de cinco años; sin embargo, su diagnóstico es un reto en menores de seis meses. Reporte de caso: Reportamos un lactante de tres meses con fiebre y tumoración cervical dolorosa de tres días de enfermedad. Fue diagnosticado como tumoración cervical abscedada y recibió tratamiento con antibióticos por 10 días. En hospitalización presentó lesiones eritematosas maculares en todo el cuerpo, persistencia de fiebre y elevación de marcadores inflamatorios. Se realizó una ecocardiografía encontrándose dilatación de las arterias coronarias siendo diagnosticado de EK incompleto. Recibió inmunoglobulina humana endovenosa y ácido acetil salicílico. Actualmente está en controles por cardiología con ácido acetil salicílico por persistencia de dilatación de las arterias coronarias. Conclusiones: La adenitis cervical puede imitar a otras infecciones cutáneas como el absceso cervical ocasionado retraso en el diagnóstico de EK produciendo complicaciones como el aneurisma coronario.


Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute and self-limited vasculitis common in children under five years. The diagnosis is a challenge in children under six months of age. Report case: We report a three-month-old infant with fever and a painful neck tumor of three days of disease. He was diagnosed with an abscessed cervical mass and received antibiotic treatment for ten days. During hospitalization, macular erythematous lesions developed throughout the body, persistence of fever, and elevated inflammatory markers. Echocardiography was performed, finding dilatation of the coronary arteries, being diagnosed with incomplete KD. He received intravenous human immunoglobulin and acetylsalicylic acid. He is currently undergoing cardiology controls with acetylsalicylic acid due to persistent dilatation of the coronary arteries. Conclusions: Cervical adenitis can mimic other skin infections such as cervical abscesses. It can cause a delay in the diagnosis of KD, producing complications such as a coronary aneurysm.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Peru is a developing country with increasing scientific production. However, it is necessary to understand the trends, impact, and collaborative networks of research to plan for policy improvements. OBJECTIVE: We analyzed the production, impact, and collaboration networks in the Peruvian scientific production between 2000 and 2019. METHODS: We did an observational analytical study. We searched Scopus for all the publications with at least one author with a Peruvian affiliation declared in the author byline. A descriptive analysis of the different characteristics, trends, and scientific collaboration was carried out. Collaboration networks were plotted using VOSviewer. RESULTS: Between 2000 and 2019, Peru had a total of 24 482 publications in scientific journals, with an average annual growth of 13.6%. Of the total, 70% of all the articles were cataloged as Clinical Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Only half of the articles had a Peruvian affiliation. The countries with the largest share of collaboration were the United States and Brazil, and the articles with international collaboration had the highest number of citations per publication. CONCLUSIONS: Scientific production in Peru has increased in recent years, with a significant percentage of publications based on international collaboration and led by authors with non-Peruvian affiliations. It is necessary to strengthen collaboration ties between Peruvian and foreign institutions. Furthermore, it is essential to propitiate further research that will help solve the country's problems.


INTRODUCCIÓN: Perú es un país en vías de desarrollo, con una producción científica en aumento. Sin embargo, es necesario entender las tendencias, el impacto y la colaboración de sus investigaciones para promover una mejora continua de las mismas. OBJETIVO: Buscamos analizar la producción, el impacto y las redes de colaboración en la producción científica peruana entre los años 2000 y 2019. MÉTODOS: Realizamos un estudio analítico observacional haciendo una búsqueda en Scopus de todas las publicaciones que hayan tenido al menos un autor peruano en su filiación. Sobre eso, realizamos un análisis descriptivo de las diferentes características, tendencias y tipo de colaboración científica. Graficamos las redes de colaboración mediante VOSviewer. RESULTADOS: Entre los años 2000 y 2019, Perú tuvo un total de 24 482 publicaciones en revistas científicas, con un crecimiento anual promedio de 13,6%. Del total de artículos científicos, 70% de todas las publicaciones pertenecieron a las áreas de medicina clínica y ciencias biomédicas. Solo la mitad de los artículos contaban con filiación peruana. Los países con mayor colaboración fueron Estados Unidos y Brasil, y los artículos con colaboración internacional tuvieron mayor cantidad de citas por publicación. CONCLUSIONES: En años recientes, ha habido un incremento de la producción científica en Perú, con un gran porcentaje de publicaciones basadas en la colaboración internacional y lideradas por autores con filiación no peruana. Es necesario fortalecer lazos de colaboración entre instituciones peruanas y extranjeras. Además, es fundamental el incitar un mayor liderazgo en investigaciones que solucionen problemas del país.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: Existen escasos estudios que asocien la anemia con las prácticas de alimentación complementaria en ciudades de provincias de Perú. Objetivo: Determinar las prácticas de alimentación complementaria, las características sociodemográficas y su asociación con la anemia en niños entre 6 a 12 meses de edad de Cusco-Perú entre agosto y diciembre del 2017. Material y Métodos: Es un estudio transversal y analítico con datos de 360 madres y niños. Se evaluaron las prácticas de alimentación complementaria mediante un cuestionario semi-estructurado y se calculó su asociación con la variable de interés "anemia". Se estimaron las razones de prevalencias crudas y ajustadas mediante modelos lineales generalizados con familia Poisson y función de enlace log, con intervalos de confianza a 95%, y se consideraron significativos los valores p<0,05. Resultados: La prevalencia de anemia fue 68,3%. Los factores asociados fueron: vivir en condición de pobreza (RPa 1,27; p=0,002), recibir una inadecuada diversidad diaria de alimentos (RPa 1,13; p=0,038); recibir una inadecuada cantidad diaria de alimentos (RPa 1,15; p=0,036) y la suplementación con papilla (RPa 1,51; p=0,002). La suplementación con hierro (RPa 0,37; p<0,001) fue factor protector. Conclusiones: Vivir en pobreza se asoció con padecer anemia; así como algunas prácticas de alimentación complementaria. Estas últimas pueden ser modificables mediante un correcto seguimiento en las visitas domiciliarias y la adecuada asignación de personal para esta actividad.


ABSTRACT Introduction: There are few studies that associate anemia with complementary feeding practices in cities of the provinces of Peru. Objective: To determine the characteristics of complementary feeding practices, sociodemographic characteristics and their association with anemia in children between 6 and 12 months of age from Cusco-Peru between August - December, 2017. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional and analytical study based on the data from 360 mothers and children was carried out. The complementary feeding practices were evaluated through a semi-structured questionnaire, and their association with the variable of interest "anemia" was calculated. The crude (cPR) and adjusted (aPR) prevalence ratios were estimated using linear and generalized Poisson regression models and log link function, with their respective 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI). P-values <0.05 were considered significant. Results: The prevalence of anemia was 68,3 %. Associated factors were: living in poverty (aPR 1.27, p= 0.002), receiving an inadequate daily diversity of foods (aPR 1.13, p= 0.038); receiving an inadequate daily amount of food (aPR 1.15, p= 0.036) and supplementation with porridge (aPR 1.51, p= 0.002). Iron supplementation (aPR 0.33, p <0.001) was a protective factor. Conclusions: Living in poverty has been associated with anemia as well as some complementary feeding practices. These findings could be modified through proper follow-up in home visits and appropriate assignment of personnel for this activity.
