RESUMO

RESUMEN ANTECEDENTES: La demencia no solo afecta al que padece la enfermedad sino también al cuidador, quien representa un pilar fundamental en el manejo del paciente con esta enfermedad. OBJETIVO: El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue describir el grado de carga en un grupo de cuidadores de pacientes con demencia del Hospital Militar Central, explorando posibles asociaciones entre la carga y variables dependientes del sujeto de cuidados. DISEÑO: Estudio descriptivo longitudinal. CONTEXTO: Pacientes que acuden a consulta al Hospital Militar Central entre agosto de 2016 y abril del 2018. MEDICIONES: Se obtuvieron datos demográficos del cuidador y del paciente con demencia (binomio cuidador-paciente), se aplicó la escala de Zarit para la medición del grado de carga del cuidador y la valoración funcional del paciente con demencia (mediante Barthel y clasificación clínica de demencia de Hughes [CDR]). Asimismo, se registraron los ingresos hospitalarios del paciente durante un año. RESULTADOS: SE INCLUYERON 50 CUIDADORES Y 50 PACIENTES CON DEMENCIA, 45 CUIDADORES (90 %) FUERON MUJERES, con edad promedio de 60 años (DE: 15 min-máx 24-85). El grado de carga fue intenso en 33 cuidadores (66 %), en tanto que la sensación de abandono de sí mismo fue la principal dimensión de la carga reportada. La mayor carga se asoció con el mayor deterioro cognitivo de la demencia (CDR = 3, P = 0,008), pero no con la funcionalidad física en la escala de Barthel.


SUMMARY BACKGROUND: Dementia affects not only the person with the disease, also the caregiver, who represents a fundamental part in the management of patients with dementia. OBJECTIVE: The main objective of the present study was to describe the caregiver burden in a group of caregivers of patients with dementia at the Central Military Hospital, exploring possible associations between the burden and variables dependent on the care subject. DESIGN: Longitudinal descriptive study. CONTEXT: patients who come to a consultation at the Central Military Hospital between August 2016 and April 2018. MEASUREMENTS: Demographic data were obtained from the caregiver and the patient with dementia (binomial: caregiver - patient), the Zarit scale was applied for the measurement of the degree of caregiver burden, and functional assessment of the patient with dementia (using Barthel scale and Clinical Dementia Rating -CDR), hospital admissions of the patient with dementia were recorded during 1 year. RESULTS: 50 caregivers and 50 patients with dementia were included in the study. 45 (90 %) caregivers were women, with an average age of 60 years (SD: 15 min-max 24-85). The caregiver burden was intense in 33 (66 %) caregivers, the feeling of self-abandonment was the main dimension of the burden reported. The higher burden is associated with the higher clinical deterioration of dementia (CDR = 3, P = 0.008), but not with the functional state on the Barthel scale.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: el cáncer colorrectal es un problema de salud pública; sin embargo, la detección temprana reduce su morbimortalidad. La colonoscopia es el procedimiento de elección para detectar lesiones premalignas y el éxito depende de una limpieza adecuada. El objetivo es evaluar el desempeño de dos preparaciones de bajo volumen empleados en un hospital de alto nivel. Materiales y métodos: estudio prospectivo en adultos que asistieran a colonoscopia en la Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá, Colombia. Las preparaciones se evaluaron con la escala de Boston, con puntaje ≥ 6 puntos para una limpieza adecuada. Se realizó un análisis de regresión logística para establecer la efectividad de los medicamentos con un cálculo de no inferioridad del 3 %-5 %. Resultados: 598 pacientes fueron evaluados. El 49 % (293) fue expuesto al picosulfato de sodio/citrato de magnesio y el 51 % (305) fue expuesto al sulfato de sodio/potasio/magnesio. Con un promedio de Boston de 6,98 ± 1,86 (78 % con puntaje de Boston ≥ 6) y 7,39 ± 1,83 (83 %), respectivamente (p = 0,649). Según el análisis de la presencia y frecuencia de síntomas no deseados, el picosulfato fue mejor tolerado (p < 0,001). Conclusiones: los estudios de preparación intestinal en pacientes de un escenario real son muy escasos. Los medicamentos de bajo volumen obtuvieron una efectividad global y por segmento de colon similar, confirmando la no-inferioridad; el picosulfato de sodio/citrato de magnesio fue mejor tolerado. Un estudio de costo-efectividad podría definir esto según las necesidades de la población de estudio.


Abstract Introduction: Colorectal cancer is a public health problem; however, early detection reduces morbidity and mortality. Colonoscopy is the procedure of choice for detecting precancerous lesions, and success depends on proper bowel cleansing. Objective: To evaluate the performance of two low-volume agents used in a high-level hospital. Materials and methods: Prospective study in adults who underwent colonoscopy at the Fundación Santa Fe in Bogotá, Colombia. Preparations were evaluated using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. A score ≥6 points indicated adequate preparation. A logistic regression analysis was carried out to establish the effectiveness of the medicines with a non-inferiority ratio of 3-5%. Results: 598 patients were evaluated. 49% (293) received sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate and 51% (305) received sodium sulfate/potassium/magnesium, with an average Boston score of 6.98±1.86 (78% Boston ≥6) and 7.39±1.83 (83%), respectively (p=0.649). According to the analysis of the presence and frequency of unwanted symptoms, picosulfate was better tolerated (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Bowel preparation studies in patients from a real-life scenario are scarce. Low-volume agents had similar overall and segmental effectiveness in the colon, confirming non-inferiority; sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate was better tolerated. A cost-effectiveness study could establish the best option according to the needs of the study population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatorenal syndrome is a rare entity that is part of the complications of liver cirrhosis in its more severe stages. Without treatment, its mortality rate increases significantly. Terlipressin is considered to be the therapy of choice until the need of a liver transplant. The aim is to determine its prevalence, define patients' characteristics, triggers and 90-day survival, according to the type of managements established. METHOD: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in Colombia. It included patients with cirrhosis and acute kidney injury who met hepatorenal syndrome criteria, reaching 28 patients from 2007 to 2015. Groups were categorized according the type of hepatorenal syndrome and treatment. Demographic and trigger factors were evaluated to characterize the population. Treatment outcomes with terlipressin vs norepinephrine were analyzed up to a 90-day survival, using log Rank test. Continuous variables needed Student's T and Mann Whitney's U tests and categorical variables, Chi2 test. A value of p <0.05 and a power of 85% was considered. The data was analyzed in the SPSS version 23 software. RESULTS: 117 patients with cirrhosis developed renal injury; of these 23.9% were diagnosed with Hepatorenal Syndrome (67.8% type1; 32.1% type2). The presence of ascites was 100% in HRS2 and 84% in HRS1 (p = 0.296). The main trigger in both types was paracentesis greater than 5 liters in the last 4 weeks (39.3%). In total, 35% of the patients received renal replacement therapy and 14% underwent a hepatic transplant. Type 1 was more frequent (63% received terlipressin; 21% norepinephrine). The total complete response was 36% (Type2 66.6% vs. Type1 18.7%) (p = 0.026). In contrast, the overall mortality was of 67.8% at 90-day of follow-up (89.4% Type1 vs. 22% Type2) (p = <0.001). We found a lower mortality rate in patients treated with terlipressin than treated with norepinephrine (p = 0.006). CONCLUSION: There is scarce clinical and epidemiological information about this condition in Colombia. A significant difference between the two drugs cannot be stipulated due to the limitation in the sample size of our study. The general mortality at a 90-day follow-up was high, being higher in patients with HRS1. While the results of this study are suggestive of clinical information for HRS patients in the Colombian population, they should also be interpreted with caution, therefore further multicenter studies should be performed.

RESUMO

Introducción: El síndrome de apnea e hipopnea obstructiva del sueño (SAHOS) es un problema de salud pública común, en donde la posición al dormir tiene influencias fisiológicas importantes en el patrón de sueño. Objetivo: Establecer la severidad según índice de apnea hipopnea del sueño en los pacientes con síndrome obstructivo del sueño posicional (supino) y no posicional (no supino) en el Hospital Universitario Clínica San Rafael entre el 1 de enero de 2014 al 31 de diciembre de 2017. Diseño: Estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal. Metodología: Se tomaron datos registrados en las historias clínicas de los pacientes que asistieron al Hospital Universitario Clínica San Rafael. El tamaño de la muestra fue de 88 personas de ambos sexos, en edades entre 18 y 90 años. Resultados: La distribución por género fue de 55 hombres (62,5%) y 33 mujeres (37,5%) de los cuales 47(53.4%) fueron SAHOS posicional y 41(46.6%) SAHOS no posicional. El peso promedio de las mujeres es de 71 kg y en hombres de 81 kg, la estatura es 1,58 cm y 1.67 respectivamente presentándose índices de masa corporal altos, en promedio de 28 para los dos géneros. La edad promedio es de 53 años para mujeres y de 46 años para hombres. Se encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la severidad y SAHOS posicional (Fischer exact p=0.018), en donde el SAHOS severo está asociado con apnea no posicional, mientras que el SAHOS leve tiende a corresponder a la apnea posicional. Conclusiones: En nuestro estudio se evidenció que el SAHOS más severo está asociado a la apnea no posicional, mientras que el SAHOS menos severo tiende a corresponder a la apnea posicional.


Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common public health problem, where the sleeping position has important physiological influences on the sleep pattern. Objective: To establish the severity according to the index of hypopnea sleep apnea in patients with positional (supine) and non-positional (non-supine) sleep obstructive syndrome in the San Rafael Clinical University Hospital from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2017. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Recorded data of patients that attend the outpatient service of the San Rafael Clinical University Hospital has been taken for the study. The simple size was 88 people of both sexes, with ages between 18 and 90 years. Results: The distribution by gender was 55 men (62.5%) and 33 women (37.5%) of which 47(53.4%) were positional OSAS and 41(46.6%) non-positional OSAS The average weight of women is 71 kg and in men of 81 kg, the height is 1.58 cm and 1.67 cm respectively, with high body mass indexes, on average 28 for both genders. The average age is 53 for women and 46 for men. A statistically significant association was found between severity and positional OSAS (Fischer exact p = 0.018), where severe OSAS is associated with non-positional apnea, while mild OSAS corresponds to positional apnea. Conclusions: In our study it was evidenced that the most severe OSAS is associated to the non-positional apnea, while the less severe OSAS tends to correspond to the positional apnea.
