RESUMO
Acute cholecystitis (AC) is an acute inflammatory process of the gallbladder that may be associated with potentially severe complications, such as empyema, gangrene, perforation of the gallbladder, and sepsis. The gold standard treatment for AC is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, for a small group of AC patients, the risk of laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be very high, mainly in the elderly with associated severe diseases. In these critically ill patients, percutaneous cholecystostomy or endoscopic ultrasound gallbladder drainage may be a temporary therapeutic option, a bridge to cholecystectomy. The objective of this Brazilian College of Digestive Surgery Position Paper is to present new advances in AC treatment in high-risk surgical patients to help surgeons, endoscopists, and physicians select the best treatment for their patients. The effectiveness, safety, advantages, disadvantages, and outcomes of each procedure are discussed. The main conclusions are: a) AC patients with elevated surgical risk must be preferably treated in tertiary hospitals where surgical, radiological, and endoscopic expertise and resources are available; b) The optimal treatment modality for high-surgical-risk patients should be individualized based on clinical conditions and available expertise; c) Laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains an excellent option of treatment, mainly in hospitals in which percutaneous or endoscopic gallbladder drainage is not available; d) Percutaneous cholecystostomy and endoscopic gallbladder drainage should be performed only in well-equipped hospitals with experienced interventional radiologist and/or endoscopist; e) Cholecystostomy catheter should be removed after resolution of AC. However, in patients who have no clinical condition to undergo cholecystectomy, the catheter may be maintained for a prolonged period or even definitively; f) If the cholecystostomy catheter is maintained for a long period of time several complications may occur, such as bleeding, bile leakage, obstruction, pain at the insertion site, accidental removal of the catheter, and recurrent AC; g) The ideal waiting time between cholecystostomy and cholecystectomy has not yet been established and ranges from immediately after clinical improvement to months. h) Long waiting periods between cholecystostomy and cholecystectomy may be associated with new episodes of acute cholecystitis, multiple hospital readmissions, and increased costs. Finally, when selecting the best treatment option other aspects should also be considered, such as costs, procedures available at the medical center, and the patient's desire. The patient and his family should be fully informed about all treatment options, so they can help making the final decision.

BACKGROUND: Lipomatous pseudohypertrophy of the pancreas, pancreatic lipomatosis, pancreatic steatosis, non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease, or fatty pancreas is an extremely rare disease, characterized by the organ enlargement and a localized or diffuse replacement of pancreatic acinar cells by mature adipose tissue, preserving the pancreatic ductal system and islets of Langerhans. AIMS: To report a rare case of lipomatous pseudohypertrophy of the pancreas in a symptomatic patient and the surgical treatment employed. METHODS: A 24-year-old male patient with weight loss (10 kilograms in 8 months), hyperglycemia, severe and recurrent acute abdominal pain, epigastric discomfort associated with nausea, vomiting, and jaundice for 40 days. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed, revealing an irregular lipomatous pseudohypertrophy of the pancreas, measuring 6.0 × 5.6 cm in the head, uncinate process, and part of the body of the pancreas. The pancreatic duct dilation was diffuse and irregular, associated with atrophy of the remnant parenchyma, particularly in the tail of the pancreas. The patient underwent pancreatoduodenectomy without total mesopancreas excision followed by pancreatojejunostomy. RESULTS: The postoperative course was uneventful, the length of stay in the ICU was two days, and the patient was discharged on the seventh postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS: The disease treatment depends on the signs and symptoms at presentation and a pancreatoduodenectomy is indicated in patients with severe and recurrent abdominal pain.

Background: The incidence of Grade C postoperative pancreatic fistula ranges from 2 to 11% depending on the type of pancreatic resection. This complication may frequently require early relaparotomy and the surgical approach remains technically challenging and is still associated with a high mortality. Infectious complications and post-operative hemorrhage are the two most common causes of reoperation. Summary: The best management of grade C pancreatic fistulas remains controversial and ranges from conservative approaches up to completion pancreatectomy. The choice of the technique depends on the patient's conditions, intraoperative findings, and surgeon's discretion. A pancreas-preserving strategy appears to be attractive, including from simple to more complex procedures such as debridement and drainage, and external wirsungostomy. Completion pancreatectomy should be reserved for selected cases, including stable patients with severe infection complication or hemorrhage after pancreatic fistula who do not respond to pancreas-preserving procedures. Key Messages: This review describes the current options for management of grade C pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy with regard to indication, choice of procedure and outcomes of the different approaches.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To compare tissue inflammatory response, foreign body reaction, fibroplasia, and proportion of type I/III collagen between closure of abdominal wall aponeurosis using polyglactin suture and intraperitoneal implant of polypropylene, polypropylene/polyglecaprone, and polyester/porcine collagen meshes to repair defects in the abdominal wall of rats. METHODS: Forty Wistar rats were placed in four groups, ten animals each, for the intraperitoneal implant of polypropylene, polypropylene/polyglecaprone, and polyester/porcine collagen meshes or suture with polyglactin (sham) after creation of defect in the abdominal wall. Twenty-one days later, histological analysis was performed after staining with hematoxylin-eosin and picrosirius red. RESULTS: The groups with meshes had a higher inflammation score (p < 0.05) and higher number of gigantocytes (p < 0.05) than the sham group, which had a better fibroplasia with a higher proportion of type I/III collagen than the tissue separating meshes (p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the three groups with meshes. CONCLUSIONS: The intraperitoneal implant of polypropylene/polyglecaprone and polyester/porcine collagen meshes determined a more intense tissue inflammatory response with exuberant foreign body reaction, immature fibroplasia and low tissue proportion of type I/III collagen compared to suture with polyglactin of abdominal aponeurosis. However, there were no significant differences in relation to the polypropylene mesh group.

BACKGROUND: Hepatic artery thrombosis is an important cause of graft loss and ischemic biliary complications. The risk factors have been related to technical aspects of arterial anastomosis and non-surgical ones. AIM: To evaluate the risk factors for the development of hepatic artery thrombosis. METHODS: The sample consisted of 1050 cases of liver transplant. A retrospective and cross-sectional study was carried out, and the variables studied in both donor and recipient. RESULTS: Univariate analysis indicated that the variables related to hepatic artery thrombosis are: MELD (p=0.04) and warm time ischemia (p=0.005). In the multivariate analysis MELD=14.5 and warm ischemia time =35 min were independent risk factors for hepatic artery thrombosis. In the prevalence ratio test for analysis of the anastomosis as a variable, it was observed that patients with continuous suture had an increase in thrombosis when compared to interrupted suture. CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged warm ischemia time, calculated MELD and recipient age were independent risk factors for hepatic artery thrombosis after liver transplantation in adults. Transplanted patients with continuous suture had an increase in thrombosis when compared to interrupted suture. Re-transplantation due to hepatic artery thrombosis was associated with higher recipient mortality.

BACKGROUND: In Brazil, the goal-based approach was named Project ACERTO and has obtained good results when applied in elective surgeries with shorter hospitalization time, earlier return to activities without increased morbidity and mortality. AIM: To analyze the impact of ACERTO on emergency surgery care. METHODS: An intervention study was performed at a trauma hospital. Were compared 452 patients undergoing emergency surgery and followed up by the general surgery service from October to December 2018 (pre-ACERTO, n=243) and from March to June 2019 (post-ACERTO, n=209). Dietary reintroduction, volume of infused postoperative venous hydration, duration of use of catheters, probes and drains, postoperative analgesia, prevention of postoperative vomiting, early mobilization and physiotherapy were evaluated. RESULTS: After the ACERTO implantation there was earlier reintroduction of the diet, the earlier optimal caloric intake, earlier venous hydration withdrawal, higher postoperative analgesia prescription, postoperative vomiting prophylaxis and higher physiotherapy and mobilization prescription were achieved early in all (p<0.01); in the multivariate analysis there was no change in the complication rates observed before and after ACERTO (10.7% vs. 7.7% (p=0.268) and there was a decrease in the length of hospitalization after ACERTO (8,5 vs. 6,1 dias (p=0.008). CONCLUSION: The implementation of the ACERTO project decreased the length of hospital stay, improved medical care provided without increasing the rates of complications evaluated.

BACKGROUND: Extended vertical gastrectomy is a variation of the vertical gastrectomy technique requiring studies to elucidate safety in relation to gastroesophageal reflux. AIM: To analyze comparatively vertical gastrectomy (VG) and extended vertical gastrectomy (EVG) in rats with obesity induced by cafeteria diet in relation to the presence of reflux esophagitis, weight loss and macroscopic changes related to the procedures. METHODS: Thirty Wistar rats were randomized into three groups, and after the obesity induction period by means of a 28-day cafeteria diet, underwent a simulated surgery (CG), VG and VGA. The animals were followed up for 28 days in the post-operative period, and after euthanasia, the reflux esophagitis evaluation was histopathologically performed. Weight and macroscopy were the other variables; weight was measured weekly and the macroscopic evaluation was performed during euthanasia. RESULTS: All animals presented some degree of inflammation and the presence of at least one inflammation criterion; however, there was no statistically significant difference in the analysis among the groups. In relation to weight loss, the animals in CG showed a gradual increase during the whole experiment, evolving to super-obesity at the end of the study, while the ones with VG and EVG had weight regain after the first post-operative period; however, a less marked regain compared to CG, both for VG and EVG. CONCLUSION: There is no difference in relation to reflux esophagitis VG and EVG, as well as macroscopic alterations, and both techniques have the ability to control the evolution of weight during postoperative period in relation to CG.

PURPOSE: To Compare the extent and intensity of adhesions formed between the intra-abdominal organs and the intraperitoneal implants of polypropylene mesh versus polypropylene/polyglecaprone versus polyester/porcine collagen used for correction of abdominal wall defect in rats. METHODS: After the defect in the abdominal wall, thirty Wistar rats were placed in three groups (ten animals each) for intraperitoneal mesh implant: polypropylene group, polypropylene/polyglecaprone group, and polyester/porcine collagen group. The macroscopic evaluation of the extent and intensity of adhesions was performed 21 days after the implant. RESULTS: The polypropylene group had a higher statistically significant impairment due to visceral adhesions (p value = 0.002) and a higher degree of intense adherence in relation to polypropylene/polyglecaprone and polyester/porcine collagen groups (p value<0.001). The polyester/porcine collagen group showed more intense adhesions than the polypropylene/polyglecaprone group (p value=0.035). CONCLUSIONS: The intraperitoneal implantation of polypropylene meshes to correct defects of the abdominal wall caused the appearance of extensive and firm adhesions to intra-abdominal structures. The use of polypropylene/polyglecaprone or polyester/porcine collagen tissue-separating meshes reduces the number and degree of adhesions formed.

BACKGROUND: Primary intrahepatic lithiasis is defined when the stones are formed in the liver and associated with local dilatation and biliary stricture. Liver resection is the ideal procedure. AIM: To evaluate the results of liver resection in the treatment of non-oriental intrahepatic lithiasis. METHODS: Fifty-one patients with symptomatic benign non-oriental hepatolithiasis underwent surgical resection in six institutions in Brazil. Demography data, clinical symptoms, classification, diagnosis, management and postoperative course were analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 51 patients, 28 were male (54.9%), with a mean age of 49.3 years. History of cholangitis was observed in 15 (29.4%). The types of intrahepatic lithiasis were type I in 39 (76.5%) and type IIb in 12 (23.5%), with additional type Ea in six (11.8%). Liver function test were normal in 42 patients (82.4%). Segmental atrophy was observed in 12 (23.5%). Treatments included left lateral sectionectomy in 24 (47.1%), left hepatectomy in 14 (27.5%) and right hepatectomy in eight (15.7%), with associated hepaticojejunostomy in four (7.8%). Laparoscopic liver resection was performed in eight (15.7%). Postoperative complications were observed in 20 (39.2%) with no mortality. CONCLUSION: Liver resection in patients with hepatolithiasis is the ideal procedure as it removes stones, stricture, atrophic parenchyma, and minimizes the risk of cholangiocarcinoma.

PURPOSE: To describe the hemodynamic alterations during orthotopic liver transplantation in pigs. METHODS: In the period from April 2004 to December 2005, forty-four female Landrace pigs, weighting between 32 and 38 Kg underwent orthotopic liver transplantation. The animals were divided into two groups, donor and recipient pairs, which received whole liver grafts. The surgical procedure was divided into four parts: harvested, back-table, hepatectomy of the recipient and implantation. We analyzed heart rate, blood gas, mean systemic arterial pressure (MAP-mmHg), central venous pressure, pH, Na-, K+, Cl-, Ca+ and urinary output. RESULTS: The mean anhepatic time was 69 min, cold ischemia was 252.2 min and back-table was 56.6 min. Blood pressure and heart rate dropped significantly during anhepatic phase and after revascularization. Blood gas and electrolytes alterations were observed during anhepatic and reperfusion phases. Although alterations were noted during these phases, the hemodynamic status was recovered and stabilized in the end of the surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Simplified technique of liver transplant was achieved and description of hemodynamic alterations was possible in pigs.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Peptic ulcer is considered a public health problem associated with loss of quality of life. Does not exist optimal therapeutic regimen. The search for alternative treatments using foods or plants that may assist in gastric protection may become marked in this population because of their easy access and low cost. AIM: To study the antiulcerogenic activity of extracts of Orbignya phalerata (babaçu) and Euterpe edules (juçara) in Wistar rats after induction of peptic ulcer, compared with Omeprazole. METHOD: Forty Wistar rats were distributed into four groups: group I, II, III, IV (10 rats each) subjected to extract of Orbignya phalerata, Euterpe edules, Omeprazole and ethanol, respectively. Each group of 10 rats was divided into subgroups of five for prophylaxis and therapeutic study. RESULTS: The pre-treatment with juçara extract has provided a significant protection against peptic ulcer induced by ethanol. In the prophylactic subgroup, Omeprazole resulted in protection. In addition to protection against peptic ulcer, inflammation and neocapillarization were also variables with a statistical significance in the prophylaxis subgroups using omeprazole and juçara. In the therapeutic subgroup, omeprazole, juçara and babaçu were statistically different as for protection against the presence of inflammation and the healing of ulcers. CONCLUSION: The extracts of juçara and babaçu behaved as the omeprazole, evidencing the therapeutic activity of these extracts.

Introduction: Serrated lesions are considered precursors of colorectal adenocarcinomas. Studying them in their initial phases is important when thinking about cancer prevention, when they are hyperplastic lesions, or sessile serrated lesions. Objective: To carry out an integrative review of the literature to compare the endoscopic and histopathological characteristics in the initial phases of the disease, with the intention to help understand colorectal cancer. Methods: Integrative literature review based on existing analysis material on the digital platforms SciELO Scientific Electronic Library Online, Google Scholar, Pubmed and Scopus. The beginning was the search with the following descriptors: "serrated sessile lesions, colorectal carcinoma, superficial lesions", with AND or OR search, considering the title and/or abstract , and subsequently including only those with the highest correlation for reading the full texts. Results: 39 articles were included. Conclusion: The majority of superficially elevated serrated lesions measuring more than 5 mm and resected by colonoscopies are hyperplastic. They occur throughout the colon and rectum, while the serrated sessiles are preferentially located in the proximal colon. Hyperplastic ones generally do not present dysplasias and sessile serrated ones can have them intensely.

ABSTRACT Acute cholecystitis (AC) is an acute inflammatory process of the gallbladder that may be associated with potentially severe complications, such as empyema, gangrene, perforation of the gallbladder, and sepsis. The gold standard treatment for AC is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, for a small group of AC patients, the risk of laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be very high, mainly in the elderly with associated severe diseases. In these critically ill patients, percutaneous cholecystostomy or endoscopic ultrasound gallbladder drainage may be a temporary therapeutic option, a bridge to cholecystectomy. The objective of this Brazilian College of Digestive Surgery Position Paper is to present new advances in AC treatment in high-risk surgical patients to help surgeons, endoscopists, and physicians select the best treatment for their patients. The effectiveness, safety, advantages, disadvantages, and outcomes of each procedure are discussed. The main conclusions are: a) AC patients with elevated surgical risk must be preferably treated in tertiary hospitals where surgical, radiological, and endoscopic expertise and resources are available; b) The optimal treatment modality for high-surgical-risk patients should be individualized based on clinical conditions and available expertise; c) Laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains an excellent option of treatment, mainly in hospitals in which percutaneous or endoscopic gallbladder drainage is not available; d) Percutaneous cholecystostomy and endoscopic gallbladder drainage should be performed only in well-equipped hospitals with experienced interventional radiologist and/or endoscopist; e) Cholecystostomy catheter should be removed after resolution of AC. However, in patients who have no clinical condition to undergo cholecystectomy, the catheter may be maintained for a prolonged period or even definitively; f) If the cholecystostomy catheter is maintained for a long period of time several complications may occur, such as bleeding, bile leakage, obstruction, pain at the insertion site, accidental removal of the catheter, and recurrent AC; g) The ideal waiting time between cholecystostomy and cholecystectomy has not yet been established and ranges from immediately after clinical improvement to months. h) Long waiting periods between cholecystostomy and cholecystectomy may be associated with new episodes of acute cholecystitis, multiple hospital readmissions, and increased costs. Finally, when selecting the best treatment option other aspects should also be considered, such as costs, procedures available at the medical center, and the patient's desire. The patient and his family should be fully informed about all treatment options, so they can help making the final decision.
RESUMO A colecistite aguda (CA) é um processo inflamatório agudo da vesícula biliar que pode estar associado a complicações potencialmente graves, como empiema, gangrena, perfuração da vesícula biliar e sepse. O tratamento padrão para a CA é a colecistectomia laparoscópica. No entanto, para um pequeno grupo de pacientes com CA, o risco de colecistectomia laparoscópica pode ser muito alto, principalmente em idosos com doenças graves associadas. Nestes pacientes críticos, a colecistectomia percutânea ou a drenagem endoscópica da vesícula biliar guiada por ultrassom podem ser uma opção terapêutica temporária, como ponte para a colecistectomia. O objetivo deste artigo de posicionamento do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgia Digestiva é apresentar novos avanços no tratamento da CA em pacientes cirúrgicos de alto risco, para auxiliar cirurgiões, endoscopistas e clínicos a selecionar o melhor tratamento para os seus pacientes. A eficácia, segurança, vantagens, desvantagens e resultados de cada procedimento são discutidos. As principais conclusões são: a) Pacientes com CA e risco cirúrgico elevado devem ser tratados preferencialmente em hospitais terciários onde a experiência e os recursos cirúrgicos, radiológicos e endoscópicos estão disponíveis. b) A modalidade de tratamento ideal para pacientes com elevado risco cirúrgico, deve ser individualizada, com base nas condições clínicas e na experiência disponível. c) A colecistectomia laparoscópica continua sendo uma excelente opção de tratamento, principalmente em hospitais em que a drenagem da vesícula biliar percutânea ou endoscópica não está disponível. d) A colecistostomia percutânea e a drenagem endoscópica da vesícula biliar devem ser realizadas apenas em hospitais bem equipados e com radiologista intervencionista e/ou endoscopista experientes. e) O cateter de colecistostomia deve ser removido após a resolução da CA. No entanto, em pacientes que não têm condição clínica para realizar colecistectomia, o cateter pode ser mantido por um período prolongado ou mesmo definitivamente. f) Se o cateter de colecistostomia for mantido por longo período de tempo podem ocorrer várias complicações, como sangramento, fístula biliar, obstrução, dor no local de inserção, remoção acidental do cateter e CA recorrente. g) O tempo de espera ideal entre a colecistostomia e a colecistectomia ainda não foi estabelecido, e vai desde imediatamente após a melhoria clínica, até meses após. h) Longos períodos de espera entre colecistostomia e colecistectomia podem estar associados a novos episódios de CA, múltiplas readmissões hospitalares e aumento dos custos. Finalmente, ao selecionar a melhor opção de tratamento, outros aspectos também devem ser considerados, como custos, disponibilidade dos procedimentos no centro médico e o desejo do paciente. O paciente e sua família devem ser completamente informados sobre todas as opções de tratamento, para que possam ajudar a tomar a decisão final.
RESUMO
Introdução: Doenças reumatológicas são enfermidades que acometem o sistema locomotor e afetam a qualidade de vida dos portadores. Objetivos: Comparar a qualidade de vida naqueles com lúpus, artrite reumatoide e fibromialgia. Métodos: Estudo observacional no qual foi aplicado o Questionário de Qualidade de Vida SF-36 em 136 pacientes diagnosticados com lúpus, artrite reumatóide e fibromialgia. Resultados: Os com lúpus apresentaram menor limitação funcional e os artrite reumatóide apresentaram mais dor. A avaliação do estado geral de saúde (p=0,26), da vitalidade (p=0,09), da aspectos sociais (p=0,44), saúde emocional (p=0,82) não demonstraram relevância estatística. Conclusão: As 3 doenças reumáticas apresentam diminuição da QoL, mas os com mais dor foram os com artrite reumatóide, e os com menor limitação funcional os de lúpus.
Background: Rheumatologic illnesses are diseases that affect the locomotor system and decrease patient's quality of life. Objective: To compare quality of life in patients diagnosed with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. Methods: Cross-sectional study with application of the SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire to 136 patients diagnosed with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. Results: Patients with lupus had lower functional limitation and those with rheumatoid arthritis presented more pain. The assessment of general health status (p=0.26), vitality (p=0.09), social aspects (p=0.44), emotional health (p=0.82) did not show statistical relevance. Conclusion: The 3 rheumatic diseases showed a decrease in quality of life, but the one with the most pain was rheumatoid arthritis, and the lowest functional limitation was found in lupus.

Introdução: Com o envelhecimento populacional brasileiro, esperase que a incidência de doenças cardiovasculares, como a estenose e insuficiência da válvula aórtica, eleve-se. Desde 2002, o implante valvar aórtico transcateter demonstrou-se método de alta eficácia no seu tratamento. No entanto, o procedimento está sujeito ao regurgitamento paravalvar. Objetivo: Avaliar quantitativamente a prevalência dessa regurgitação em pacientes submetidos ao Implante valvar aórtico transcateter. Métodos: Estudo observacional, transversal, retrospectivo que analisou 38 casos de Implante valvar aórtico transcateter. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários, que incluíram informações antropométricas, comorbidades e procedimentos prévios à operação, e analisou-se a presença de refluxo paravalvar no 1° mês e 1° ano pós-Implante valvar aórtico transcateter. Resultados: A idade média foi de 74 ±11,2 anos; 15 pacientes dos analisados, possuíam classificação NYHA igual a III, e 1 NYHA IV, previamente à operação. Do total, 36,32% (n=8) tinham refluxo paravalvar no 1° mês e 1º. ano após o procedimento cirúrgico. Conclusão: A prevalência de refluxo paravalvar pós-operatório em pacientes submetidos ao Implante valvar aórtico transcateter, foi igual a 36,3% tanto para a avaliação realizada no 1° mês quanto no 1° ano.
Introduction: With the aging of the Brazilian population, it is expected that the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, such as stenosis and insufficiency of the aortic valve, will increase. Since 2002, transcatheter aortic valve implantation has proved to be a highly effective method of treatment. However, the procedure is subject to paravalvular regurgitation. Objective: To quantitatively assess the prevalence of paravalvular regurgitation in patients undergoing Transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional, retrospective study that analyzed 38 Transcatheter aortic valve implantation cases. Data were collected from medical records, which included anthropometric information, comorbidities and procedures prior to the operation, and the presence of paravalvular regurgitation in the 1st month and 1st year after Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was analyzed. Results: Mean age was 74 ±11.2 years; 15 of the analyzed patients had NYHA classification equal to III, and 1 NYHA IV, prior to the operation. Of the total, 36.32% (n=8) of the patients had paravalvular regurgitation in the 1st and 1st month. year after the surgical procedure. Conclusion: The prevalence of postoperative paravalvular regurgitation in patients undergoing Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was equal to 36.3% both for the assessment carried out in the 1st month and in the 1st year

Introdução: A artrite reumatoide é tratada com drogas modificadoras da doença convencionais e biológicas. Objetivos: Comparar a sobrevida de medicamentos biológicos utilizados para o tratamento de pacientes com artrite reumatoide. Método: Estudo retrospectivo de prontuários de pacientes que utilizaram medicamento biológico para tratamento de artrite reumatoide de janeiro de 2020 a janeiro de 2022 e este foi suspenso. Dados acerca das causas de retirada, tempo de uso, dados epidemiológicos, clínicos e de comorbidades foram coletados. Resultados: O principal motivo da descontinuidade foi a falha seguida por efeitos colaterais. Infliximabe e adalimumabe foram os que apresentaram maior sobrevida. Índice de massa corporal e o tabagismo, sexo e idade não mostraram interferência nesta sobrevida Conclusão: Falha é a causa mais comum de descontinuidade dos biológicos. Dentre os fatores estudados (fumo, indice de massa corporal, idade e sexo) não foi possível identificar variável que se associasse com falha.
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is treated with conventional and biological disease-modifying drugs. Objectives: To compare the survival of biological drugs used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Methods: Retrospective study of medical records of patients who used biological medication for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis from January 2020 to January 2022 and this was suspended. Data on the causes of withdrawal, duration of use, epidemiological, clinical and comorbid data were collected. Results: The main reason for discontinuity was failure followed by side effects. Infliximab and adalimumab had the highest survival. Body mass index and smoking, sex and age did not interfere in this survival. Conclusion: Failure is the most common cause of biological discontinuity. Among the factors studied (smoking, body mass index, age and gender) it was not possible to identify a variable that was associated with failure.
RESUMO
Introdução: O índice de comorbidades de Charlson (ICC) avalia as chances de sobrevida de uma pessoa nos próximos 10 anos. No lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) múltiplas comorbidades e complicações afetam a sobrevida. Objetivo: Verificar as variáveis que influem no ICC de um grupo de mulheres com LES. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de 100 pacientes lúpicas para o ICC, variáveis clínicas, epidemiológicas e sorológicas. Resultados: Nenhuma variável epidemiológica interferiu no ICC. Quanto à clínica, pacientes com glomerulonefrite tiveram pior ICC do que os sem (p<0,0001) e os com manifestações de sistema nervoso central tiveram tendência para pior ICC (p=0,09). Portadores de anticorpos anti-Ro (p=0,02) e fator reumatoide (FR; p=0,002) se associaram com ICC menor. Conclusões: A presença de glomerulonefrite se associa com menor sobrevida, e a dos anticorpos anti-Ro e FR com maior sobrevida no LES.
Introduction: The Charlson comorbidities index (CCI) assesses a person's chances of survival over the next 10 years. In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple comorbidities and complications affect patient survival. Objetive: Analize the variables that influence the CCI of a group of females with SLE. Methods: Retrospective study of medical records of 100 lupus patients for CCI, clinical, epidemiological and serological variables. Results: No epidemiological variable interfered in CCI. Regarding clinical manifestations, patients with glomerulonephritis had a worse CCI than those without (p<0.0001) and those with central nervous system manifestations had a tendency to worse CCI (p=0.09). Patients with anti-Ro antibodies (p=0.02) and rheumatoid factor or RF (p=0.002) were associated with a lower CCI. Conclusions: The presence of glomerulonephritis is associated with lower survival and of the anti-Ro and RF antibodies with longer survival in SLE.
