BURNOUT SYNDROME AMONG DENTISTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS.

OBJECTIVE: Burnout syndrome has negative consequences on the dentist's health and performance during work. This systematic review aimed to assess the prevalence of Burnout syndrome in dentists. METHODS: Searches were carried out in Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, EMBASE, LILACS databases, and searches in the gray literature on January 27, 2021. There were no restrictions on language and search period. For the diagnosis of Burnout, only studies that used the Maslach burnout inventory questionnaire and its subscales emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and reduced personal accomplishment (PA) were included. Proportion meta-analyses were performed using the Stata 13.0 software. RESULTS: A total of 37 articles were included in the narrative and 31 in quantitative syntheses. The overall prevalence of Burnout syndrome in dentists was 13% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.006-0.21; I²: 97.07%) and the total prevalence in the subscales EE, DP, and PA, were, respectively: 28% (95% CI: 0.24-0.32; I²: 20.70%), 18% (95% CI: 0.08-0.28; I²: 85.61%) and 10% (95% CI: 0.08-0.13; I²: 0%). About the levels of Burnout syndrome in the subscales, 25% (95% CI: 0.19-0.31; I² 92.58%) presented high EE, 18% (95% CI: 0.10-0.26; I² 96.62%) high DP and 32% (95% 0.20-0.45; I² 97.86%) low PA. About continuous data, the mean of EE, DP and PA was respectively 17.90 (95% CI: 9.36-26.43; I² 94.8), 6.93 (95% CI: 3.41-10.45; I² 80.2) and, 34.69 (95% CI: 23.82-45.55; I² 98.8). No study presented all the positive criteria of the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal checklist. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, there was a considerable prevalence of burnout syndrome in dentists, mainly in the subscale of emotional exhaustion.

Causas de internações hospitalares em idosos por regiões do Brasil: série histórica de 10 anos / Causes of elderly hospitalization per regions of Brazil: historical series of 10 years

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as principais causas de internações hospitalares em idosos de 60 anos ou mais, por regiões do Brasil, em um período de 10 anos. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, descritivo, utilizando dados secundários provenientes do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS - SIH/SUS. Para a determinação das causas de internação foram utilizados os capítulos do CID-10. Observou-se que nas cinco regiões brasileiras as principais taxas de internações em idosos ocorreram devido às doenças do aparelho circulatório e do aparelho respiratório. Além disso, nas regiões Norte e Nordeste ainda há uma significativa taxa de internação por algumas doenças infecciosas e parasitárias. (AU)

This study aimed to analyze the leading causes of hospitalization in the elderly aged 60 or more, per regions in Brazil, in a period of 10 years. This is an ecological, descriptive study using secondary data from the Hospital Information System of SUS - SIH / SUS. The ICD-10 chapters were used to determine the causes of hospitalization. It was observed that in the five Brazilian regions the main hospitalization rates among the elderly occurred due to diseases of the circulatory respiratory systems. In addition, in the North and Northeast regions, there is still a significant rate of hospitalization for some infectious and parasitic diseases. (AU)

Tissue engineering perspectives in dentistry: review of the literature / Perspectivas da engenharia tecidual na Odontologia: revisão de literatura

ABSTRACT Tooth losses due to pathological processes continue to be a reality in daily clinical dentistry, inducing functional and psychological complications in patients. In view of this, a new option for the management of this problem - tissue engineering - has been studied in Dentistry. This field, considered multidisciplinary, uses three key elements for tissue regeneration: scaffolds (extracellular matrices) - natural or synthetic; cells, and growth factors. In this sense, combination of these three elements may induce regeneration of the dental pulp, bone and periodontal tissue, among others. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct a literature review, describing the main elements of tissue engineering and their applicability in Dentistry, as a means of updating dental surgeons about this subject.

RESUMO As perdas dentárias, devido aos processos patológicos, ainda são uma realidade na clínica odontológica diária, induzindo complicações funcionais e psicológicas ao paciente. Diante disso, uma nova opção para o manejo desse problema vem sendo estudada na Odontologia, a engenharia tecidual. Essa área, considerada multidisciplinar, utiliza três elementos chaves para a regeneração dos tecidos: os scaffolds (matriz extracelular) naturais ou sintéticos, as células e os fatores de crescimento. Nesse sentido, a combinação desses três elementos pode induzir a regeneração da polpa dentária, tecido ósseo e periodontal, entre outros. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo é realizar uma revisão da literatura, descrevendo e atualizando os cirurgiões-dentistas sobre os principais elementos da engenharia tecidual e sua aplicabilidade na Odontologia.

Oral and oropharyngeal cancer: epidemiology and survival analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the epidemiological profile and survival rate of oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients seen at a university hospital. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out by means of the pathological reports of patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer, seen at a university hospital of the Southern Region, between January 2004 and December 2014. Information was collected on patients and tumors. The mortality rate was gathered from the patient death registry in the Mortality Information System. Data were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and the log-rank test to compare variables. RESULTS: The 5- and 10-year survival rates were 42% and 38%, respectively. The anatomical location had a significant association with survival rate (p=0.001), with the rates were better in the lips (p=0.04), and worse in the oropharynx (p=0.03). There were no statistically significant differences between survival rates according to age, sex, ethnicity, schooling level and histologic grade. CONCLUSION: The survival rates of oral and oropharyngeal cancer were and associated with the anatomical site of the tumor.

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar o perfil epidemiológico e a taxa de sobrevida do câncer de boca e orofaringe de pacientes atendidos em um hospital universitário. Métodos Foi realizado um estudo transversal por meio dos laudos anatomopatológicos dos pacientes com câncer de boca e orofaringe atendidos em um hospital universitário, na Região Sul, entre janeiro de 2004 a dezembro de 2014. A partir destes laudos, foram coletadas informações sobre o paciente e o tumor. A taxa de mortalidade foi obtida do registro de óbitos dos pacientes no Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade. Os dados foram analisados utilizando a curva de sobrevida pelo método de Kaplan-Meier e o teste de log-rank para a comparação das variáveis. Resultados As taxas de sobrevida em 5 e 10 anos foram 42% e 38%, respectivamente. A localização anatômica apresentou associação significativa com a taxa de sobrevida (p=0,001), sendo que, em lábio, os índices foram melhores (p=0,04) e, em orofaringe, piores (p=0,03). Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre as taxas de sobrevida de acordo com idade, sexo, etnia, nível educacional e grau histológico. Conclusão As taxas de sobrevida do câncer de boca e orofaringe foram baixas e associadas à localização anatômica do tumor.
