ABSTRACT

Burnout syndrome is a public health problem, a pathological entity that affects professionals who work directly with people, such as health professionals. It is currently described as being composed of three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal fulfillment, and its evaluation is carried out through the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire. The present study aims to measure, by means of the aforementioned instrument, the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome in pediatric interns of the Universidad Católica del Maule and find out which is the most frequent characteristic that the pathology presents, in relation to the 3 subgroups. It corresponds to a descriptive and cross-sectional study, in which the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire was applied to a sample of 18 pediatric inmates of the Regional Hospital of Talca, together with an informed consent to each participant. The results showed that the burnout syndrome is present in 11,11% of pediatric interns, in addition it was observed that a high percentage manifests alterations in the studied subdimensions, which makes us conclude that attention should be given urgently to this problem, in order to guarantee mental health support to those who need it.

ABSTRACT

Desde el año 2007 en Uruguay los cuidados paliativos (CP) son parte de las prestaciones de salud que todos los ciudadanos que los necesitan tienen derecho a recibir y, desde entonces, ha aumentado significativamente la accesibilidad a estos. Objetivo: describir la situación actual del desarrollo organizativo de servicios de cuidados paliativos pediátricos (CPP) en el país y los pacientes por ellos asistidos desde el inicio de sus actividades hasta el 31/12/2020, las principales fortalezas y desafíos percibidos por los profesionales de dichos equipos. Metodología: se realizó una consulta mediante encuesta online auto administrada enviada a los coordinadores de servicios de CPP del Uruguay. Resultados: se confirmaron 19 equipos en 9/19 departamentos, 5/19 están integrados por profesionales de las cuatro disciplinas básicas recomendadas, el resto por distintas combinaciones de disciplinas, con cargas horarias muy variables. Brindan asistencia en: hospitalización 19/19, policlínica 18/19, atención domiciliaria coordinada 13/19 y retén telefónico 10/19. Fueron asistidos 2957 niños, 23% de los mismos fallecieron. 16/19 equipos reportan como principales fortalezas los valores compartidos y el trabajo en equipo interdisciplinario y 15/19 como principal desafío los déficits de recursos humanos. Conclusiones: persisten importantes inequidades en el acceso a los CPP. Se constató gran variabilidad en la integración de los equipos y la carga horaria de los profesionales. Es necesario que las autoridades sanitarias continúen promoviendo y exigiendo el desarrollo de equipos de CPP en las instituciones y departamentos que no los tienen y el cumplimiento de estándares mínimos de calidad en los ya existentes.


Since 2007, palliative care (PC) has been a part of the health benefits that all Uruguayan citizens are entitled to receive and, since then, accessibility has increased significantly. Objective: to describe the present development of pediatric palliative care services (PPC) in Uruguay and the patients assisted by health providers since the beginning of their services until 12/31/2020 and the key strengths and challenges perceived by these palliative care teams. Methodology: a consultation was carried out through a self-administered online survey and sent to the PPC service coordinators in Uruguay. Results: 19 teams were confirmed in 9/19 departments, 5/19 are integrated by professionals from the four recommended basic disciplines, the rest by different combinations of disciplines, with highly variable workloads. They provide assistance in: hospitalization 19/19, clinics 18/19, coordinated home care 13/19 and telephone assistance 10/19. 2957 children were assisted, 23% of them died. 16/19 teams report shared values and interdisciplinary teamwork as their main strengths, and 15/19 report human resource shortage as their main challenge. Conclusions: significant inequality persist regarding access to PPCs. We confirmed a high variability in teams' integration and professional workload. It is necessary for the health authorities to continue to promote and demand the development of PPC teams in the institutions and departments that do not yet have them and the compliance with minimum quality standards in those that already operate.


Desde 2007, os cuidados paliativos (CP) fazem parte dos benefícios de saúde que todos os cidadãos têm direito a receber no Uruguai e, desde então, a acessibilidade a eles tem aumentado significativamente. Objetivo: descrever a situação atual do desenvolvimento organizacional dos serviços de cuidados paliativos pediátricos (CPP) no Uruguai e dos pacientes atendidos desde o início de suas atividades até 31/12/2020 e as principais fortalezas e desafios percebidos pelos profissionais das referidas equipes. Metodologia: foi realizada uma consulta por meio de uma pesquisa online autoaplicável enviada aos coordenadores dos serviços do CPP no Uruguai. Resultados: 19 equipes foram confirmadas em 19/09 departamentos, 19/05 compostas por profissionais das quatro disciplinas básicas recomendadas, o restante por diferentes combinações de disciplinas, com cargas horárias altamente variáveis. Elas atendem em: internação 19/19, policlínica 18/19, atendimento domiciliar coordenado 13/19 e posto telefônico 19/10. 2.957 crianças foram atendidas, 23% delas faleceram. 16/19 equipes relatam valores compartilhados e trabalho em equipe interdisciplinar como suas principais fortalezas, e 15/19 relatam déficits de recursos humanos como seu principal desafio. Conclusões: persistem desigualdades significativas no acesso aos CPP. Verificou-se: grande variabilidade na integração das equipes e na carga de trabalho dos profissionais. É necessário que as autoridades de saúde continuem promovendo e exigindo o desenvolvimento de equipes de CPP nas instituições e departamentos que não as possuem e o cumprimento de padrões mínimos de qualidade nas que já existem.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: los estudios por imágenes (EPI) son de gran ayuda para el diagnóstico clínico, pero su uso irracional puede ocasionar daños. Objetivos: relevar las percepciones y expectativas sobre estudios por imágenes pediátricos en un grupo de padres de niños sanos. Evaluar los datos obtenidos en relación con el registro de EPI solicitados por Guardia durante el mismo período. Materiales y métodos: estudio exploratorio, descriptivo, cuali-cuantitativo mediante una encuesta en una muestra por conveniencia en un centro pediátrico ambulatorio, a lo largo de dos meses. Análisis retrospectivo de solicitud de EPI en el registro informatizado de historias clínicas de Guardia durante el mismo período. Resultados: respondieron 243 padres. El 93,4% refirió conocer métodos de EPI (la radiografía[Rx] fue el más conocido). Se había realizado al menos un EPI al 83,4% de los niños en los últimos doce meses. El estudio fue explicado en forma clara en el 96,4% de los casos. Un 47,7% de los padres refirieron conocer las consecuencias del uso repetitivo de EPI. El 81,6% acordó con que "ante cualquier traumatismo se debe realizar Rx para descartar fractura". Más del 60% consideró que debe realizarse Rx de tórax a todo niño con tos sin fiebre o con fiebre de más de dos días y 55% solicitarían Rx de senos paranasales si el niño elimina mocos verdes. El 49,8% opinó que los médicos piden EPI de menos (por falta de recursos, para trabajar menos o para ahorrar dinero). Durante el período estudiado se solicitó una radiografía al 5% de los pacientes que consultaron por Guardia; no se encontró justificación para solicitar el estudio en el 29% de los casos. Conclusión: un gran porcentaje de padres conoce los EPI; sin embargo, desconocen los riesgos asociados a su uso. Existen errores de concepto que generan expectativas desmedidas con respecto a la indicación de Rx. Se informó un exceso en las solicitudes de EPI por Guardia. Los padres consideran que los médicos solicitan EPI de menos. (AU)


Introduction: ediatric radiologic exams (PRE) are of great value for clinicians. It's over or misuse can lead to irreparable damage that can be prevented. Objective: to describe perceptions and expectations for the use of PRE among healthy children`s parents in an ambulatory center. To analyze these results in relation to the report of PRE performed in the emergency room during the same period. Methods: observational, cross sectional, quali- quantitative study using a survey on a convenience sample conducted in an outpatient pediatric center over a two months period. Retrospective analysis of medical records to evaluate PRE requested on the ER during the 2 months of the study. Results: 243 parents completed the survey. 93,4% were familiar with PRE (X-rays being the most popular among them). 83,4% of children in our sample had at least one PRE in the past 12 months. The need and utility of the study had been explained to the parents clearly in 96,4% of cases. 47,7% of parents knew about the side effects associated with repetitive use of PRE. 81,6% agreed with the statement "in the event that a child should suffer any trauma, an X-Ray should be performed to look for fractures". Over 60% think a chest X ray has to be obtained if the child has fever for over 48 hours and 55% would expect an X ray to be performed whenever a child has green nasal discharge. 49,8% respondents think that doctors order less than necessary (for lack of resources, unwillingness to work in or to save money). The analysis of clinical reports showed that X-Rays were performed to 5% of children at the emergency clinic. Among them, we found no reason for the study in 29% of the cases. Conclusion: we found that parents were very familiar with PRE, however less than half our sample knew of the potential risks related to their use. There are considerable misconceptions among parents regarding X-Ray use. Parents considered that doctors order too little PRE. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La participación de las mujeres en medicina ha incrementado en las últimas décadas, incluyendo mayor representatividad en la autoría de artículos científicos en diversos países y distintas especialidades. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las diferencias de género en la autoría de artículos a través de la historia del Boletín Médico del Hospital Infantil de México. Métodos: Se realizó un análisis bibliométrico de los artículos originales publicados en los años 1953, 1963, 1973, 1983, 1993, 2003 y 2013. Se identificó el género de los autores, tipo de autoría (primer autor o autor correspondiente) y el diseño de estudio (descriptivo vs. analítico). Se evaluó la diferencia en la proporción de género y la tendencia en el tiempo. Resultados: Se incluyeron 272 artículos. Se observó una reducción en la brecha de género entre 1953 y 2013. La participación de las mujeres como primeras autoras incrementó del 2 al 63% (p < 0.001) y como correspondiente del 27 al 59% (p < 0.001). Al considerar únicamente estudios analíticos, el incremento fue del 25 al 50% como primera autora (p = 0.03), con un cambio similar como autor correspondiente, pero sin una tendencia significativa en el tiempo (p = 0.19). La reducción en la brecha de género fue más notoria a partir del periodo 1983-1993. Conclusiones: En las últimas décadas ha existido un incremento significativo en la autoría de las mujeres en el Boletín Médico del Hospital Infantil de México, llegando incluso a una mayor proporción en relación con el sexo masculino. Lo anterior es un reflejo del papel actual de las mujeres en la medicina; en particular, en el área pediátrica.


Abstract Background: Women's participation in medicine has increased in the last decades, with greater representativeness in the authorship of scientific articles in many countries and different specialties. The objective of this research was to analyze the gender gap in the authorship of articles through the history of the medical journal Boletín Médico del Hospital Infantil de México. Methods: In a bibliometric analysis, we reviewed original articles published during the years 1953, 1963, 1973, 1983, 1993, 2003 and 2013. The gender of the author, type of authorship (first author or corresponding author) and the design of the study (descriptive vs analytic) were identified. We evaluated the difference between gender proportion and trends over time. Results: We included 272 articles. We observed a gender gap reduction between 1953 and 2013. The participation of women as first author increased from 2 to 63% (p < 0.001) and as corresponding author from 27 to 59% (p < 0.001). If we include only analytic studies, the increasing was 25 to 50% as first author (p = 0.03), with a similar tendency as corresponding author, but without a statistical significant on time (p = 0.19). We observed the most notable change since 1983-1993. Conclusions: In the last decades, there has been a significant increase in women´s authorship in the medical journal Boletín Médico del Hospital Infantil de México, even reaching a greater proportion against male gender. This reflects the present role of women in medicine, particularly in pediatrics.

ABSTRACT

En la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (CABA) los ingresantes al sistema de residencia en pediatría lo hacen mediante un examen unificado y, al finalizar, rinden su examen de especialización en la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). Existe evidencia de que el desempeño en determinadas evaluaciones podría predecir el rendimiento posterior. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar si existe relación entre el examen de ingreso a la residencia (EIR) y el de especialización (EE) en pediatría. Se trata de una investigación transversal que incluye todos los sujetos que aprobaron el EIR de pediatría en CABA en 2004-2009 y que rindieron EE de pediatría en la UBA. Se obtuvo el puntaje de cada sujeto en ambos exámenes y se calculó la correlación correspondiente. Las notas fueron divididas en quintiles, calculando la proporción de alumnos que mejoró su ubicación en el segundo examen con respecto al primero. Se obtuvieron datos de 303 participantes. El examen de ingreso (calificación máxima de 60 puntos) mostró una mediana de 45.0 puntos (IIC: 43.0-48.7) y el examen de especialización (calificación máxima de 10 puntos) mostró una mediana de 6 puntos (IIC: 6-8), verificándose una correlación significativa entre la calificación del EIR y la del EE (r = 0.37, p < 0.001). En relación al quintil de referencia, 43.8% de los alumnos mejoró su ubicación en el EE respecto de la obtenida en el EIR, sin que se registraran diferencias entre residentes de hospitales pediátricos y de hospitales generales (45.6 vs. 31.5%; p = 0.1).


In the city of Buenos Aires (CABA), pediatric residents enter the residency program after taking a unified admission test. After completion of the program and passing a final test, the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) provides a professional certification. The objective of this study is to determine if the results obtained in the residency admission test (RAT) and those of the professional certification test (PCT) correlated. This is a cross-sectional study, that included all subjects who passed the pediatrics RAT in CABA in 2004-2009, and that attended the pediatric PCT of the UBA. The score for each subject in both tests was obtained and the corresponding correlation was calculated. Results were divided in quintiles, and the proportion of subjects who improved their position in the PCT with respect to the RAT was calculated. Data from 303 subjects was obtained. The RAT showed a median of 45.0 (over 60 maximum) (IC-range: 43.0-48.7), and the PCT showed a median of 6 points (over 10 max.)(IC-range: 6-8). A significative correlation between results in RAT and PCT was observed (r = 0.37, p < 0.001). Based on their position in the RAT, 43.8% of subjects improved their position in the PCT, without differences between residents attending pediatric and general hospitals (45.6 vs. 31.5%; p = 0.1). In the case of pediatric residents, results of the residency admission test correlate with those obtained in the professional certification test.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate potential intravenous drug incompatibilities and related risk factors in a pediatric unit. Methods A cross-sectional analytical study conducted in the pediatric unit of a university hospital in Brazil. Data on prescriptions given to children aged 0-15 years from June to October 2014 were collected. Prescriptions that did not include intravenous drugs and prescriptions with incomplete dosage regimen or written in poor handwriting were excluded. Associations between variables and the risk of potential incompatibility were investigated using the Student’s t test and ANOVA; the level of significance was set at 5% (p<0.05). Relative risks were calculated for each drug involved in potential incompatibility with 95% confidence interval. Results A total of 222 children participated in the study; 132 (59.5%) children were male and 118 (53.2%) were aged between 0 and 2 years. The mean length of stay was 7.7±2.3 days. Dipyrone, penicillin G and ceftriaxona were the most commonly prescribed drugs. At least one potential incompatibility was detected in about 85% of children (1.2 incompatibility/patient ratio). Most incompatibilities detected fell into the non-tested (93.4%), precipitation (5.5%), turbidity (0.7%) or chemical decomposition (0.4%) categories. The number of drugs and prescription of diazepam, phenytoin, phenobarbital or metronidazole were risk factors for potential incompatibility. Conclusion Most pediatric prescriptions involved potential incompatibilities, with higher prevalence of non-tested incompatibilities. The number of drugs and prescription of diazepam, phenobarbital, phenytoin or metronidazole were risk factors for potential incompatibilities.


RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar o potencial de incompatibilidade dos medicamentos intravenosos, identificando possíveis fatores de risco em uma unidade pediátrica. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo observacional analítico do tipo transversal realizado na unidade de pediatria de um hospital de ensino no Brasil. Os dados foram coletados de junho a outubro de 2014 a partir da análise das prescrições de crianças (0 a 15 anos) hospitalizadas. Foram excluídas prescrições sem medicamento intravenoso e com posologia incompletas ou grafia inadequada. A associação entre as variáveis e o risco de potenciais incompatibilidades foi determinada pelo teste t de Student e ANOVA, considerando significativo para p<0,05. Calculou-se o risco relativo com intervalo de confiança de 95% de cada medicamento envolvido. Resultados Duzentos e vinte e duas crianças participaram do estudo, 132 (59,5%) eram do gênero masculino, 118 (53,2%) tinham idade entre 0 a 2 anos e estiveram internados em média 7,7±2,3 dias. Os medicamentos mais prescritos foram dipirona, penicilina G e ceftriaxona. Quase 85% das crianças apresentaram ao menos uma potencial incompatibilidade, razão de 1,2 incompatibilidades/paciente. Os tipos de incompatibilidades mais comuns foram: não testada (93,4%), precipitação (5,5%), turbidez (0,7%) e decomposição química (0,4%). Os fatores associados a potenciais incompatibilidades foram: número de medicamentos e a prescrição dos medicamentos diazepam, fenitoína, fenobarbital e metronidazol. Conclusão A maioria das prescrições pediátricas apresentou potenciais incompatibilidades e a incompatibilidade não testada foi o tipo mais comum. O número de medicamentos e a prescrição dos medicamentos diazepam, fenobarbital, fenitoína e metronidazol foram fatores de risco para potenciais incompatibilidades.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El Trauma Pediátrico es un problema de salud a nivel mundial, tanto que la OMS en 2008 indicó que en el mundo, la mortalidad infantil por traumatismo fue del 27.1% y que más del 95% de todas las defunciones infantiles por lesiones tuvieron lugar en países de bajos y medianos ingresos. OBJETIVO: Describir la prevalencia de Trauma Pediátrico así como sus principales características. MÉTODOS: El presente es un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo y de corte transversal en el que se recolectó la información mediante la revisión de registros e historias clínicas de los pacientes ingresados al servicio de Emergencia ­ Pediatría del Hospital de Especialidades José Carrasco Arteaga. Se estudiaron las variables sexo, edad, diagnóstico, tipo de lesión, tipo de transporte al servicio de urgencias, lugar del trauma, puntaje de Índice de Trauma Pediátrico (ITP) y días de hospitalización. RESULTADOS: La prevalencia del diagnóstico de trauma fue de 13.11% (N=602), el sexo más afectado fue el masculino (59.97%) y los grupos de edad más afectados fueron el de 0 a 3 años (31.4%) seguido por el de 4 a 7 años (30.07%); las caídas y los accidentes de tránsito constituyeron los mecanismos de lesión más comunes. El 72.92% de las lesiones se produjeron en el domicilio y el 66.28% de los pacientes acudieron al hospital de manera ambulatoria. El ITP tuvo una media de 10.94±1.16 y las puntuaciones entre 11 y 12 puntos fueron las más frecuentes (79.40%). CONCLUSIÓN: El Trauma Pediátrico es una condición frecuente como motivo de atención en el servicio de Emergencia. El sexo masculino y el grupo de edad entre 0 y 3 años fueron los más afectados, situaciones que pueden estar relacionadas con el cuidado parental. El traumatismo craneoencefálico y las fracturas fueron las lesiones más frecuentes; las caídas junto con los accidentes de tránsito constituyeron sus principales mecanismos, información concordante con resultados de estudios similares.(au)


BACKGROUND: Pediatric Trauma is a worldwide health problem. During 2008 WHO reported that child mortality around the world caused by trauma reached 27.1% and over 95% of infant deaths caused by wounds happened in countries with low and medium incomes. OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence of Pediatric Trauma and its main characteristics. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional retrospective descriptive research. The data was collected after review of registries and medical records of patients admitted to Pediatrics ­ Emergency department at José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital. Studied variables comprehended sex, age, diagnosis, kind of injury, transportation used, place where injury happened, PTS and hospitalization length. RESULTS: Prevalence of Trauma was 13.11% (N=602). Most affected sex was male (59.97%), age groups 0 to 3-years followed by 7 to 11-years old were more frequently affected. Falling and traffic accidents were the most frequent mechanisms of injury. 72.92% of injuries happened at home and 66.28% of patients attended to the hospital by themselves. PTS score average was 10.94±1.16 and scores between 11 and 12 points were the most frequent too (79.40%). CONCLUSION: Pediatric Trauma is a frequent condition as reason of consultation at Emergency departments. Male sex and age group between 0 and 3-years old were mostly affected presumably because of parental care implications. Head trauma and fractures were the most frequent injuries; fallings and car accidents were the main injury mechanisms, that agrees with results found by other studies.(au)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The Brazilian scientific production in the pediatrics field has been increasing significantly. It is important to identify the distribution and activity of these groups in the country and the main study areas, contributing with data for better resource allocation by institutions. METHODS: An active research was conducted in the National Council of Technological and Scientific Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico [CNPq]) website, using as filters the macro area of the research group (Health Sciences), the area (Medicine), and descriptors related to pediatrics. Research lines and main area of pediatric research groups were classified according to the subject predominantly studied by each group. The scientific production of the leader of the pediatric research group between 2011 and 2014 was also analyzed. RESULTS: Most pediatric research groups in Brazil have more than five years of activity and are concentrated in the Southeast and South regions of the country; São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, and Minas Gerais are the states with most groups. Of the 132 specific pediatric research groups analyzed, 14.4% have lines of research in multiple areas and 11.4% in child and adolescent health. Among the 585 lines of research of these groups, the most prevalent areas were: oncology, infectious diseases, epidemiology, and gastroenterology. CONCLUSIONS: The pediatric research groups in Brazil have relevant scientific production, including works published in international publications, and are concentrated in regions with higher socioeconomic index. Most groups registered in CNPq started their activity in the last five years (46%), reflecting the recent growth of scientific production in this area. .


OBJETIVOS: A produção científica brasileira na área da pediatria vem aumentando significativamente. Diante desse quadro, é importante identificar a distribuição e atividade desses grupos no país e as principais áreas estudadas para contribuir com dados para que as instituições possam alocar melhor seus recursos. MÉTODOS: Foi feita pesquisa ativa no site do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), que teve como filtros a grande área do grupo - ciências da saúde - e área medicina e descritores relacionados à pediatria. Posteriormente foram classificadas as linhas de pesquisa e a área de atuação principal dos grupos de acordo com os temas prevalentemente estudados. Avaliou-se também a produção científica entre 2011 e 2014 dos coordenadores dos grupos de pesquisa pediátrica pelo currículo Lattes. RESULTADOS: A maioria dos grupos de pesquisa pediátrica do Brasil tem mais de cinco anos de atividade e está concentrada nas regiões Sudeste e Sul. São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul e Minas Gerais, são os principais estados. Dos 132 grupos específicos de pesquisa pediátrica cadastrados, 14,4% têm linhas de pesquisa em múltiplas áreas e 11,4% em saúde da criança e do adolescente. Entre as 585 linhas de pesquisa desses grupos, são predominantes as áreas: oncologia, infectologia, epidemiologia e gastroenterologia. CONCLUSÕES: Os grupos de pesquisa pediátrica do Brasil têm produção relevante, até mesmo internacional, e estão concentrados nas regiões de maior índice socioeconômico. Grande parte dos grupos cadastrados no CNPq entrou em atividade nos últimos cinco anos (46%), o que evidencia crescimento recente da produção científica nessa área. .

ABSTRACT

Las dificultades alimentarias representan un motivo de consulta frecuente en la consulta externa y se presentan en el 25% a 45% de todos los niños. El objetivo del estudio es conocer la eficacia de la Medicina Tradicional China en el tratamiento de las dificultades alimentarias en los niños de 6 meses a 5 años que asisten al jardín infantil de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Bogotá. A pesar de su impacto y frecuencia, hay escasez de estudios con metodologías sistemáticas que permitan medir la eficacia de la Medicina Tradicional China en el manejo de estas entidades. Esto motivó el diseño de este ensayo clínico controlado y aleatorizado, que comparó el tratamiento convencional con el realizado con la Medicina Tradicional China en niños de 6 meses a 5 años con dificultades alimentarias durante un mes del cual se muestran los resultados parciales a continuación. Se incluyeron en total ocho sujetos, cinco con Medicina Tradicional China y tres con manejo pediátrico occidental. En los seis casos que culminaron el tratamiento se observó una mejoría similar en los dos brazos de intervención, manifiesta en una reducción en el puntaje del Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assesment (BPFAS) y al menos en cinco casos, la percepción subjetiva de los padres de reducción de los síntomas, aumento de apetito, mayor ingesta de verduras y frutas, reducción de los síntomas emocionales y agrado por el método de intervención. Teniendo en cuenta que no existen trabajos similares que evalúen la eficacia de la Medicina Tradicional China en estos casos y dada la limitación en el tamaño de la muestra obtenida hasta el momento, se requiere continuar el desarrollo del estudio clínico aleatorizado y controlado que permita completar la muestra definida y comparar las intervenciones.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Hearing loss has severe emotional, psychological, and social consequences. The early identification of hearing impairment is crucial. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and quantify the knowledge of neonatologists, pediatricians, and residents in pediatrics regarding detection, risk factors, early diagnosis, and referral for rehabilitation of patients with neonatal hearing loss in Jundiaí, state of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional contemporary cohort study including 47 physicians from three hospitals, including a questionnaire with 15 items. RESULTS: Most respondents (83%) had received information about hearing loss in their medical courses, but most had no knowledge of techniques for hearing evaluation, and degrees and types of loss. All physicians agreed that in the first six months of life, it is possible to evaluate hearing function and that it is the physician's responsibility to assess the newborn. Regarding the age that the child can receive auditory rehabilitation, the end of the first year and the second year of life predominate. CONCLUSION: Most respondents know the risk factors for the detection of neonatal hearing impairment, know how to perform procedures, and recognize the importance of diagnosis of hearing loss and the need to refer suspected cases, but most do not know the techniques used to assess hearing in newborns. .


INTRODUÇÃO: A deficiência auditiva acarreta graves consequências emocionais, psicológicas e sociais, sendo imprescindível a identificação precoce de alterações auditivas. OBJETIVO: Avaliar e quantificar o conhecimento de médicos neonatologistas, pediatras e residentes em Pediatria, sobre detecção, fatores de risco, diagnóstico precoce e encaminhamento para reabilitação dos pacientes acometidos por deficiência auditiva neonatal no município de Jundiaí, SP. MÉTODO: Estudo de coorte contemporânea com corte transversal, incluindo 47 médicos de três instituições hospitalares, com aplicação de um questionário de 15 perguntas. RESULTADOS: Grande parte dos entrevistados (83%) teve informações sobre deficiência auditiva em seus cursos médicos, em sua maioria desconheciam técnicas de avaliação auditiva na infância, graus e tipos de perda. Todos relataram que nos primeiros seis meses de vida já é possível avaliar a audição, sendo dever do médico se preocupar com sua comunicação. Com relação à idade em que a criança pode receber a reabilitação auditiva, predominaram o final do primeiro e o segundo ano de vida. CONCLUSÃO: A maioria dos entrevistados conhece os fatores de risco para a detecção neonatal da deficiência auditiva, realiza procedimentos, reconhece a importância do diagnóstico da deficiência auditiva e a necessidade de efetuar encaminhamento dos casos suspeitos, porém desconhece técnicas de avaliação da audição em neonatos. .

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A reumatologia pediátrica (RP) é uma especialidade emergente, com número restrito de especialistas, e ainda não conta com uma casuística brasileira sobre o perfil dos pacientes atendidos e as informações sobre a formação de profissionais capacitados. OBJETIVO: Estudar o perfil dos especialistas e dos serviços em RP e as características dos pacientes com doenças reumáticas nessa faixa etária a fim de estimar a situação atual no estado de São Paulo (ESP). PACIENTES E MÉTODOS: No ano de 2010 o departamento científico de RP da Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo encaminhou um questionário respondido por 24/31 especialistas com título de especialização em RP que atuam no ESP e por 8/12 instituições com atendimento nesta especialidade. RESULTADOS: A maioria (91%) dos profissionais exerce suas atividades em instituições públicas. Clínicas privadas (28,6%) e instituições (37,5%) relataram não ter acesso ao exame de capilaroscopia e 50% das clínicas privadas não tem acesso à acupuntura. A média de tempo de prática profissional na especialidade foi de 9,4 anos, sendo 67% deles pós-graduados. Sete (87,5%) instituições públicas atuam na área de ensino, formando novos reumatologistas pediátricos. Cinco (62,5%) delas têm pós-graduação. Dois terços dos especialistas utilizam imunossupressores e agentes biológicos de uso restrito pela Secretaria da Saúde. A doença mais atendida foi artrite idiopática juvenil (29,1%-34,5%), seguida de lúpus eritematoso sistêmico juvenil (LESJ) (11,6%-12,3%) e febre reumática (9,1%-15,9%). Vasculites (púrpura de Henoch Schönlein, Wegener, Takayasu) e síndromes autoinflamatórias foram mais incidentes nas instituições públicas (P = 0,03; P = 0,04; P = 0,002 e P < 0,0001, respectivamente). O LESJ foi a doença com maior mortalidade (68% dos óbitos), principalmente por infecção. CONCLUSÃO: A RP no ESP conta com um número expressivo de especialistas pós-graduados, que atuam especialmente em instituições de ensino, com infraestrutura adequada ao atendimento de pacientes de alta complexidade.


INTRODUCTION: Paediatric rheumatology (PR) is an emerging specialty, practised by a limited number of specialists. Currently, there is neither a record of the profile of rheumatology patients being treated in Brazil nor data on the training of qualified rheumatology professionals in the country. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the profile of PR specialists and services, as well as the characteristics of paediatric patients with rheumatic diseases, for estimating the current state of rheumatology in the state of São Paulo. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 2010, the scientific department of PR of the Paediatric Society of São Paulo administered a questionnaire that was answered by 24/31 accredited specialists in PR practising in state of São Paulo and by 8/21 institutions that provide PR care. RESULTS: Most (91%) of the surveyed professionals practise in public institutions. Private clinics (28.6%) and public institutions (37.5%) reported not having access to nailfold capillaroscopy, and 50% of the private clinics reported not having access to acupuncture. The average duration of professional practise in PR was 9.4 years, and 67% of the physicians had attended postgraduate programmes. Seven (87.5%) public institutions perform teaching activities, in which new paediatric rheumatologists are trained, and five (62.5%) offer postgraduate programmes. Two-thirds of the surveyed specialists use immunosuppressants and biological agents classified as "restricted use" by the Health Secretariat. The disease most frequently reported was juvenile idiopathic arthritis (29.1-34.5%), followed by juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) (11.6-12.3%) and rheumatic fever (9.1-15.9%). The incidence of vasculitis (including Henoch-Schönlein purpura, Wegener's granulomatosis, and Takayasu's arteritis) and autoinflammatory syndromes was higher in public institutions compared to other institutions (P = 0.03, P = 0.04, P = 0.002, and P < 0.0001, respectively). Patients with JSLE had the highest mortality rate (68% of deaths), mainly due to infection. CONCLUSION: The field of PR in the state of São Paulo has a significant number of specialists with postgraduate degrees who mostly practise at teaching institutions with infrastructures appropriate for the care of high-complexity patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: El presente trabajo se propone describir la metodología de análisis y la distribución global de las consultas de morbilidad -particularmente las de tipo respiratorio- en menores de 15 años de edad de la ciudad Santiago de Chile, Chile, con el objetivo de conocer sus diferencias según grupos etarios, su comportamiento estacional y su evolución a lo largo de los años. MÉTODOS: Se investigó la distribución de las consultas de morbilidad pediátrica (CP) -en especial las respiratorias- y su evolución en un período de 17 años. En siete centros centinela de Santiago de Chile se recolectó prospectivamente información diaria de todas las CP, agrupadas en infecciones no respiratorias e infecciones respiratorias agudas (IRA). RESULTADOS: Entre enero de 1993 y diciembre de 2009 se registraron 1 947 477 CP, de las cuales 1 188 029 (61,0%) fueron por causa respiratoria: 656 567 (33,7%) por enfermedad respiratoria aguda de vía aérea baja (IRAb), 418 932 (21,5%) por síndrome bronquial obstructivo (SBO) y 48 669 (2,5%) por neumonía. Neumonía y SBO fueron más frecuentes en menores de 5 años. Las IRAb, SBO y neumonía presentaron una significativa tendencia a la disminución durante el período observado. Las IRA constituyen la primera causa de CP en atención primaria de salud y el SBO es la primera causa específica de consulta pediátrica. CONCLUSIONES: Estos resultados enfatizan la necesidad de asignar o redestinar recursos en programas de promoción, educación, prevención y tratamiento de estas enfermedades, con la debida focalización que determina su variación estacional.


OBJECTIVE: This paper describes the analytical methodology and overall distribution of these consultations-particularly respiratory consultations-for children under 15 years of age in Santiago de Chile, Chile. The aim is to understand differences by age groups, as well as seasonal trends and trends over the years. METHODS: The research covered the distribution of consultations and their evolution over a period of 17 years. Information was collected on a daily basis from all pediatric consultations, grouped into nonrespiratory and acute respiratory categories, in seven sentinel centers of Santiago de Chile. RESULTS: Between January 1993 and December 2009, 1 947 477 cases of pediatric illnesses were recorded, of which 1 188 029 (61.0%) were for respiratory causes. Of those, 656 567 (33.7%) were for acute lower respiratory tract illnesses, 418 932 (21.5%) were for broncho-obstructive syndrome, and 48 669 (2.5%) were for pneumonia. Pneumonia and broncho-obstructive syndrome were more frequent in children under age 5. Lower respiratory tract illnesses, broncho-obstructive syndrome, and pneumonia showed a significant downward trend during the period observed. Lower respiratory tract illnesses are the leading cause of pediatric morbidity in primary health care, while broncho-obstructive syndrome is the leading specific reason for pediatric consultations. CONCLUSIONS: These results point to the need to allocate or reallocate resources for programs for promotion, education, prevention, and treatment of these illnesses with the targeting necessary to address seasonal variations.

ABSTRACT

El cáncer es un problema de salud relevante en el perfil epidemiológico de Colombia. Datos poblacionales han demostrado que, después de las enfermedades cardiovascularesy las muertes violentas, las neoplasias malignas son la tercera causa de mortalidad en nuestro país. En Colombia, la ausencia y la falta de consolidación de este tipo deregistros no permiten valorar ni la magnitud ni la distribución de la morbilidad de forma adecuada para las diferentes zonas del país, especialmente en la población infantil. Por lo tanto, los registros hospitalarios de cáncer son una herramienta fundamental que proporciona información directa sobre nuevos casos de cáncer y su comportamientogeneral respecto a sobrevida y pronóstico. El objetivo principal es caracterizar la distribución porcentual y de sobrevida de población infantil con neoplasias atendida en el Centro Javeriano de Oncología, como sustrato epidemiológico para nutrir la basede datos nacional de cáncer en niños...


Cancer is a significant problem in the epidemiological profile of Colombia. Population surveys indicate that after cardiovascular diseases and violent deaths, malignant neoplasms are the third leading cause of death in our country. In Colombia, the absence and lack of conformation of such records do not assess the magnitude anddistribution of morbidity in the appropriate way for the different areas of the country, especially in children. Therefore, hospital cancer recordsregistries become an essential tool that provides direct information on new cases of cancer and their general behavior regarding survival rateand prognosis. The main objective is to characterize the percentage distribution and survival rate among children with malignancies treated at the Centro Javeriano de Oncologia, as an epidemiological substrate to enhance the national database of childhood cancer...

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Evaluar los patrones de prescripción deranitidina y omeprazol en pacientes pediátricos ingresados enun hospital de niños; la adecuación de dichas prescripcionesy los costos generados por prescripciones incorrectas.Pacientes y Métodos: estudio de utilización demedicamentos para observar pacientes ingresados en elHospital de Niños (Córdoba –Argentina) durante 1 mes.Resultados: Durante el mes de estudio ingresaron 680pacientes, de los cuales 415 (61%) recibieron inhibidoresde la acidez gástrica (IAG). De estos, 330 pacientes (79,5%)no presentaron factores de riesgo para desarrollar úlcerapor estrés, y en 293 pacientes (70,6%) las indicacionesse consideraron incorrectas. Sólo 81 pacientes (19,5%)presentaron indicaciones y dosis correctas de IAG. Seencontró una relación de la prescripción con el ingreso aquirófano y con el uso concomitante de corticoides a dosisbajas. El consumo innecesario de IAG generó un gasto directomensual de US$ 470,42


Objectives: To evaluate prescription patterns of intravenous ranitidine and omeprazolein pediatric patients hospitalized in a children’s hospital, the adequacy of said prescriptionsand the costs originated by incorrect prescriptions.Patients and Methods: A study of medication usage was designed to observe all patientshospitalized at Hospital de Niños (Córdoba- Argentina) during one month.Results: During the month of study 680 patients were hospitalized, 415 (61%) ofthem received acid-suppressive drugs (ASD). From these, 330 patients (79.5%) did notshow risk factors to develop stress ulcer and indications were considered incorrect in 293patients (70.6%). Only 81 patients (19.5%) showed correct indications and doses of ASD.A relationship was found between prescription and access to the operating room alongwith the concomitant use of corticoid in low doses. The unnecessary consumption of ASDgenerated a direct monthly expenditure of USD 470.42
