Introdução: As dislipidemias estão entre os fatores de riscos mais importantes para o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares (DCV), além de estarem relacionadas a outras patologias que predispõem às DCV. Em função da elevada prevalência e da incidência de complicações associadas à cronicidade da doença, as dislipidemias representam elevados custos ao setor da saúde e da previdência social. Diante disso, ressalta-se a importância do Sistema Único de Saúde, representado pela Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), em prover práticas de prevenção, diagnóstico e acompanhamento dos pacientes dislipidêmicos, a fim de desonerar o sistema financeiro e promover o envelhecimento saudável. Objetivo: Descrever a prevalência de perfil lipídico alterado entre os idosos. Além disso, pretendeu-se caracterizar a amostra quanto aos aspectos sociodemográficos, de saúde e de comportamento, bem como analisar os fatores associados à distribuição do perfil lipídico alterado e às características da amostra. Métodos: Estudo transversal com dados secundários, obtidos de agosto de 2021 a julho de 2022, tendo como população pacientes idosos em acompanhamento na APS do município de Marau (RS). Todos os dados foram coletados dos prontuários eletrônicos da rede de APS e, após dupla digitação e validação dos dados, a amostra foi caracterizada por meio de estatística descritiva. Foi calculada a prevalência de perfil lipídico alterado com intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%) e foi verificada sua distribuição conforme as variáveis de exposição, empregando-se o teste do χ2 e admitindo-se erro tipo I de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência de dislipidemia proporcional entre os sexos foi maior no feminino (33%). A cor de pele predominante foi a branca (76,7%). Cerca de 20% dos pacientes apresentavam colesterol total, colesterol HDL-c e triglicerídeos alterados, enquanto cerca de 15% apresentavam o colesterol HDL-c anormal. Constatou-se que os pacientes dislipidêmicos apresentam mais diabetes e hipertensão em relação aos não dislipidêmicos, ocorrendo a sinergia de fatores de risco para as DCV. Conclusões: A caracterização exercida neste estudo serve de base científica para a compreensão da realidade local e, também, para o direcionamento de políticas públicas na atenção primária que atuem de forma efetiva na prevenção e no controle das dislipidemias e demais fatores de risco cardiovascular.
Introduction: Dyslipidemias are among the most important risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), in addition to being related to other pathologies that predispose to CVD. Because of the high prevalence and incidence of complications associated with the chronicity of the disease, dyslipidemias represent high costs for the health and social security sector. This highlights the importance of the Unified Health System, represented by primary health care (PHC), in providing prevention, diagnosis and follow-up practices for dyslipidemic patients to relieve the financial system and promote healthy aging. Objective: The study aimed to describe the prevalence of altered lipid profile among older people. In addition, we sought to characterize the sample in terms of sociodemographic, health and behavioral aspects, as well as to analyze the factors associated with the distribution of the altered lipid profile and the characteristics of the sample. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with secondary data, from August 2021 to July 2022, with older patients being followed up at the PHC in the city of Marau (RS) as the study population. All data were collected from the electronic medical records of the PHC network, and after double-typing and validation, the sample was characterized using descriptive statistics. The prevalence of altered lipid profile was determined with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI), and its distribution was verified according to the exposure variables, using the chi-square test and a type I error of 5%. Results: The prevalence of proportional dyslipidemia between sexes was higher in females (33%). The predominant skin color was white (76.7%). About 20% of the patients had altered total cholesterol, HDL-C and triglycerides, while about 15% had abnormal HDL-C. It was found that more dyslipidemic patients had diabetes and hypertension than non-dyslipidemic patients, with a synergy of risk factors for CVD. Conclusions: The characterization carried out in this study serves as a scientific basis for understanding the local reality and also for directing public policies in PHC that act effectively in the prevention and control of dyslipidemia and other cardiovascular risk factors.
Introducción: las dislipidemias se encuentran entre los factores de riesgo más importantes para el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV), además de estar relacionadas con otras patologías que predisponen a ECV. Debido a la alta prevalencia e incidencia de complicaciones asociadas a la cronicidad de la enfermedad, las dislipidemias representan altos costos para los sectores de salud y seguridad social. Frente a eso, se destaca la importancia del Sistema Único de Salud, representado por la Atención Primaria de Salud (APS), en la provisión de prácticas de prevención, diagnóstico y seguimiento de pacientes dislipidémicos, con el fin de descongestionar el sistema financiero y promover el envejecimiento saludable. Objetivo: El estudio tiene como objetivo describir la prevalencia del perfil lipídico alterado entre los ancianos. Además, se pretende caracterizar la muestra en cuanto a aspectos sociodemográficos, de salud y conductuales, así como analizar los factores asociados a la distribución del perfil lipídico alterado y las características de la muestra. Métodos: estudio transversal con datos secundarios, de agosto de 2021 a julio de 2022, con pacientes ancianos en seguimiento en la APS del municipio de Marau (RS) como población. Todos los datos fueron recolectados de la historia clínica electrónica de la red de la APS y, luego de doble digitación y validación, la muestra fue caracterizada mediante estadística descriptiva. Se calculó la prevalencia de perfil lipídico alterado con un intervalo de confianza del 95% (IC95%) y se verificó su distribución según las variables de exposición, utilizando la prueba de chi-cuadrado y admitiendo un error tipo I del 5%. Resultados: la prevalencia de dislipidemia proporcional entre sexos fue mayor en el sexo femenino (33%). El color de piel predominante fue el blanco (76,7%). Alrededor del 20% de los pacientes tenían colesterol total, colesterol HDL-C y triglicéridos alterados, mientras que alrededor del 15% tenían colesterol HDL-C anormal. Se encontró que los pacientes dislipidémicos tienen más diabetes e hipertensión que los pacientes no dislipidémicos, con una sinergia de factores de riesgo para ECV. Conclusiones: la caracterización realizada en este estudio sirve de base científica para comprender la realidad local y también para orientar políticas públicas en atención primaria que actúen de manera efectiva en la prevención y control de la dislipidemia y otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular.
RESUMEN
Abstract Introduction: Identifying risk factors for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) progression is important. However, studies that have evaluated this subject using a Brazilian sample is sparce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify risk factors for renal outcomes and death in a Brazilian cohort of ADPKD patients. Methods: Patients had the first medical appointment between January 2002 and December 2014, and were followed up until December 2019. Associations between clinical and laboratory variables with the primary outcome (sustained decrease of at least 57% in the eGFR from baseline, need for dialysis or renal transplantation) and the secondary outcome (death from any cause) were analyzed using a multiple Cox regression model. Among 80 ADPKD patients, those under 18 years, with glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, and/or those with missing data were excluded. There were 70 patients followed. Results: The factors independently associated with the renal outcomes were total kidney length - adjusted Hazard Ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.137 (1.057-1.224), glomerular filtration rate - HR (95% CI): 0.970 (0.949-0.992), and serum uric acid level - HR (95% CI): 1.643 (1.118-2.415). Diabetes mellitus - HR (95% CI): 8.115 (1.985-33.180) and glomerular filtration rate - HR (95% CI): 0.957 (0.919-0.997) were associated with the secondary outcome. Conclusions: These findings corroborate the hypothesis that total kidney length, glomerular filtration rate and serum uric acid level may be important prognostic predictors of ADPKD in a Brazilian cohort, which could help to select patients who require closer follow up.
Resumo Introdução: É importante identificar fatores de risco para progressão da doença renal policística autossômica dominante (DRPAD). Entretanto, são escassos os estudos que avaliam esse assunto utilizando amostra brasileira. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi identificar fatores de risco para desfechos renais e óbito em coorte brasileira de pacientes com DRPAD. Métodos: Os pacientes tiveram o primeiro atendimento médico entre janeiro/2002 e dezembro/2014, sendo acompanhados até dezembro/2019. Associações entre variáveis clínicas e laboratoriais com desfecho primário (redução sustentada de pelo menos 57% na TFGe em relação ao valor basal, necessidade de diálise ou transplante renal) e desfecho secundário (óbito por qualquer causa) foram analisadas pelo modelo de regressão múltipla de Cox. Entre 80 pacientes com DRPAD, foram excluídos aqueles menores de 18 anos, com TFG <30 mL/min/1,73 m2 e/ou aqueles com dados ausentes. Foram acompanhados 70 pacientes. Resultados: Fatores independentemente associados aos desfechos renais foram: comprimento renal total - Razão de Risco (HR) ajustada com intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC 95%): 1,137 (1,057-1,224), taxa de filtração glomerular - HR (IC 95%): 0,970 (0,949-0,992) e nível sérico de ácido úrico - HR (IC 95%): 1,643 (1,118-2,415). Diabetes mellitus - HR (IC 95%): 8,115 (1,985-33,180) e TFG - HR (IC 95%): 0,957 (0,919-0,997) foram associados ao desfecho secundário. Conclusões: Esses achados corroboram a hipótese de que comprimento renal total, TFG e nível sérico de ácido úrico podem ser importantes preditores prognósticos de DRPAD em uma coorte brasileira, o que pode ajudar a selecionar pacientes que necessitam de acompanhamento mais próximo.
RESUMEN
ABSTRACT Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an abrupt deterioration of kidney function. The incidence of pediatric AKI is increasing worldwide, both in critically and non-critically ill settings. We aimed to characterize the presentation, etiology, evolution, and outcome of AKI in pediatric patients admitted to a tertiary care center. Methods: We performed a retrospective observational single-center study of patients aged 29 days to 17 years and 365 days admitted to our Pediatric Nephrology Unit from January 2012 to December 2021, with the diagnosis of AKI. AKI severity was categorized according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. The outcomes considered were death or sequelae (proteinuria, hypertension, or changes in renal function at 3 to 6 months follow-up assessments). Results: Forty-six patients with a median age of 13.0 (3.5-15.5) years were included. About half of the patients (n = 24, 52.2%) had an identifiable risk factor for the development of AKI. Thirteen patients (28.3%) were anuric, and all of those were categorized as AKI KDIGO stage 3 (p < 0.001). Almost one quarter (n = 10, 21.7%) of patients required renal replacement therapy. Approximately 60% of patients (n = 26) had at least one sequelae, with proteinuria being the most common (n = 15, 38.5%; median (P25-75) urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio 0.30 (0.27-0.44) mg/mg), followed by reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (n = 11, 27.5%; median (P25-75) GFR 75 (62-83) mL/min/1.73 m2). Conclusions: Pediatric AKI is associated with substantial morbidity, with potential for proteinuria development and renal function impairment and a relevant impact on long-term prognosis.
RESUMO Introdução: Insuficiência renal aguda (IRA) é uma deterioração abrupta da função renal. A incidência de IRA pediátrica está aumentando em todo o mundo, em ambientes críticos e não críticos. Nosso objetivo foi caracterizar apresentação, etiologia, evolução e desfechos da IRA em pacientes pediátricos internados em um centro de atendimento terciário. Métodos: Realizamos estudo retrospectivo observacional de centro único de pacientes com idade entre 29 dias a 17 anos e 365 dias internados em nossa Unidade de Nefrologia Pediátrica, de janeiro de 2012 a dezembro de 2021, com diagnóstico de IRA. A gravidade da IRA foi categorizada de acordo com os critérios do Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). Os desfechos considerados foram óbito ou sequelas (proteinúria, hipertensão ou alterações na função renal em avaliações de acompanhamento de 3 a 6 meses). Resultados: Incluímos 46 pacientes com idade mediana de 13,0 (3,5-15,5) anos. Cerca de metade (n = 24; 52,2%) apresentou um fator de risco identificável para o desenvolvimento de IRA. Treze pacientes (28,3%) eram anúricos; todos foram classificados como IRA KDIGO 3 (p < 0,001). Quase um quarto (n = 10; 21,7%) dos pacientes necessitaram de terapia renal substitutiva. Aproximadamente 60% (n = 26) apresentou pelo menos uma sequela, sendo proteinúria a mais comum (n = 15; 38,5%; mediana (P25-75) da relação proteína/creatinina urinária 0,30 (0,27-0,44) mg/mg), seguida de taxa de filtração glomerular (TFG) reduzida (n = 11; 27,5%; mediana (P25-75) da TFG 75 (62-83) mL/min/1,73 m2). Conclusões: A IRA pediátrica está associada à morbidade substancial, com potencial para desenvolvimento de proteinúria e comprometimento da função renal e impacto relevante no prognóstico de longo prazo.
RESUMEN
Introducción. La infección asociada a catéter venoso central (CVC) es la principal complicación que presentan los pacientes en hemodiálisis en los que se usa este tipo de acceso. Objetivo. Estimar la incidencia de bacteriemia asociada a CVC no tunelizado, analizar la frecuencia de agentes causales y explorar factores de riesgo asociados en niños en hemodiálisis. Población y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo realizado en niños en hemodiálisis por CVC no tunelizado entre el 1 junio de 2015 y el 30 de junio de 2019. Para evaluar factores de riesgo predictores de bacteriemia asociada a CVC, se realizó regresión logística. Los factores de riesgo independiente se expresaron con odds ratio con sus respectivos intervalos de confianza del 95 %. Se consideró estadísticamente significativo un valor de p <0,05. Resultados. En este estudio se incluyeron 121 CVC no tunelizados. La incidencia de bacteriemia fue de 3,15 por 1000 días de catéter. El microorganismo aislado con mayor frecuencia fue Staphylococcus epidermidis (16 casos, 51,5 %). La infección previa del catéter fue el único factor de riesgo independiente encontrado para el desarrollo de bacteriemia asociada a CVC no tunelizado (OR: 2,84; IC95%: 1,017,96; p = 0,04). Conclusiones. El uso prolongado de los CVC no tunelizados para hemodiálisis crónica se asoció con una incidencia baja de bacteriemia. Los gérmenes grampositivos predominaron como agentes causales. La presencia de infección previa del CVC aumentó en casi 3 veces el riesgo de bacteriemia asociada a CVC en nuestra población pediátrica en hemodiálisis.
Introduction. Central venous catheter (CVC)-related infection is the main complication observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis with this type of venous access. Objective. To estimate the incidence of non-tunneled CVC-related bacteremia, analyze the frequency ofcausative agents, and explore associated risk factors in children undergoing hemodialysis. Population and methods. Retrospective study in children receiving hemodialysis via a non-tunneled CVC between June 1 st, 2015 and June 30 th, 2019. A logistic regression was carried out to assess risk factors that were predictors of CVC-related bacteremia. Independent risk factors were described as odds ratios with their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. A total of 121 non-tunneled CVCs were included in this study. The incidence of bacteremia was 3.15 per 1000 catheter-days. The most commonly isolated microorganism was Staphylococcus epidermidis(16 cases, 51.5%). Prior catheter infection was the only independent risk factor for the development of bacteremia associated with non-tunneled CVC (OR: 2.84, 95% CI: 1.017.96, p = 0.04). Conclusions. Prolonged use of non-tunneled CVCs for chronic hemodialysis was associated with a low incidence of bacteremia. Gram-positive microorganisms prevailed among causative agents. A prior CVC infection almost trebled the risk for CVC-related bacteremia in our pediatric population receiving hemodialysis.

Este artigo tem por objetivo identificar os fatores de risco de morte por dengue no Brasil. Para isso, por meio do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e do Morbidade Hospitalar do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIH/SUS), foram levantados os dados referentes às mortes por dengue ocorridas no Brasil entre 1 de janeiro de 2014 a 11 de março de 2024. A partir desses dados, foram calculados os riscos relativos para as seguintes variáveis: sexo, raça, faixa etária, escolaridade e sorotipo, adotando-se o nível de significância de 5% e o intervalo de confiança de 95%. Em relação ao sexo, os homens apresentaram maior risco de morte (RR: 1,24; IC95%: 0,760,84) em comparação às mulheres. Quanto à raça, brancos (RR: 1,18; IC 95%: 1,121,25) e amarelos (RR: 1,33; IC95%: 1,071,66) exibiram um risco significativamente maior do que as demais. Pessoas com 60 anos ou mais apresentaram risco de morte 7,74 vezes maior (RR: 7,74; IC95%: 7,388,11) em comparação às outras faixas etárias. Pessoas analfabetas ou que estudaram só até a 4a série do ensino fundamental tiveram um risco três vezes maior (RR: 3,00; IC95%: 2,793,23) do que aquelas com mais anos de estudo. O sorotipo DENV-2, por sua vez, aumentou 1,61 vezes o risco de morte (RR: 1,61; IC95%: 1,431,80) em relação aos demais sorotipos, enquanto o DENV-3 aumentou 2,94 vezes (RR: 2,94; IC95%: 1,685,15). Foi possível deduzir que sexo, raça, faixa etária, escolaridade e sorotipo são fatores de risco de morte por dengue, devendo, portanto, ser considerados na elaboração de políticas públicas de combate à dengue.
This study investigated the dengue risk death factors in Brazil by analyzing data on dengue deaths between January 1st, 2014 to March 11, 2024, registered in the SINAN and SIH/SUS databases. Relative risks were calculated for the following variables: gender, race, age group, schooling level and serotype, adopting a 5% level of significance and 95% confidence interval. Regarding gender, men had a higher death risk (RR: 1.24; 95% CI: 0.760.84) than women. Whites (RR: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.121.25) and Asians (RR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.071.66) showed a significantly higher risk than other ethnicities. People with 60 years of age or over presented death risk 7.74 times higher (RR: 7.74; IC 95%: 7.388.11) compared with other age groups. Illiterates or people with complete primary education had a 3 times higher risk (RR: 3.00; 95% CI: 2.793.23) than those with more years of study. The serotype DENV-2 increased in 1.61 times the risk of death (RR: 1.61; 95% CI: 1.431.80) compared with other serotypes, whereas DENV-3 serotype increased the risk by 2.94 times (RR: 2.94; 95% CI: 1.685.15). Gender, race, age group, schooling level and serotype are dengue death risk factors, thus they should be considered when elaborating public policies to fight the disease.

Para ello, se recogieron datos de muertes por dengue en Brasil entre el 1 de enero de 2014 y el 11 de marzo de 2024 del Sistema de Información de Agravios de Notificación (SINAN) y del Sistema de Morbilidad Hospitalaria del Sistema Único de Salud (SIH/SUS). A partir de estos datos, se calcularon los riesgos relativos para las siguientes variables: sexo, raza, grupo de edad, nivel de estudios y serotipo, adoptando un nivel de significación del 5% y un intervalo de confianza del 95%. Con relación al sexo, los hombres presentaron un mayor riesgo de muerte (RR: 1,24; IC 95%: 0,76-0,84) en comparación con las mujeres. En cuanto a la raza, los blancos (RR: 1,18; IC 95%: 1,12-1,25) y los pardos (RR: 1,33; IC 95%: 1,07-1,66) tenían un riesgo significativamente mayor que los demás. Las personas de 60 años o más tenían un riesgo de muerte 7,74 veces mayor (RR: 7,74; IC 95%: 7,38-8,11) que otros grupos de edad. Las personas analfabetas o con hasta 4.º grado de la primaria tenían un riesgo 3 veces mayor (RR: 3,00; IC 95%: 2,79-3,23) que las que tenían más años de escolaridad. El serotipo DENV-2 aumentó el riesgo de muerte en 1,61 veces (RR: 1,61; IC 95%: 1,43-1,80) en comparación con los demás serotipos, mientras que el DENV-3 lo aumentó 2,94 veces (RR: 2,94; IC 95%: 1,68-5,15). El sexo, la raza, el grupo de edad, el nivel de estudios y el serotipo son factores de riesgo de muerte por dengue, por lo tanto, deben tenerse en cuenta en la elaboración de políticas públicas de lucha contra el dengue.
RESUMEN
La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 de inicio temprano ha aumentado su prevalencia en los últimos años. Los principales factores de riesgo de padecerla en la adolescencia son: la obesidad, la predisposición genética y los antecedentes familiares. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de sexo femenino, de 15 años, que acudió a los servicios de salud con diagnóstico previo de prediabetes y sobrepeso. Al examen físico se observó sobrepeso y distribución de grasa central. Los exámenes de laboratorio indicaron hiperglucemia y hormonas tiroideas dentro de rangos de normalidad. Se diagnosticó diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y se propuso tratamiento con dieta, ejercicios físicos y metformina. Se reevaluó a los 3 meses y se constató que la paciente no cumplía el tratamiento a cabalidad. Este reporte de caso tiene como objetivo describir las características clínicas y de laboratorio de una paciente adolescente con diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 porque el diagnóstico precoz y el tratamiento intensivo es fundamental en el manejo de esta patología en este grupo etáreo.
Early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus has increased in prevalence in recent years. The main risk factors for suffering from it in adolescents are: obesity, genetic predisposition and family history. The case of a 15-year-old female patient who attended health services with a previous diagnosis of prediabetes and overweight is presented. The physical examination revealed overweight and central fat distribution. Laboratory tests indicated hyperglycemia and thyroid hormones within normal ranges. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was diagnosed and treatment with diet, physical exercise and metformin was proposed. She was reassessed after 3 months and it was found that the patient was not fully complying with the treatment. This case report aims to describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of an adolescent patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus because early diagnosis and intensive treatment is essential in the management of this pathology in this age group.
RESUMEN
Fundamento: la trombofilia hereditaria se define como la tendencia genéticamente determinada al tromboembolismo venoso, entidad con una incidencia importante a nivel mundial. Desde el laboratorio pudieran explicarse un gran porcentaje de estos eventos de trombosis. Objetivo: caracterizar desde el punto de vista clínico humoral las trombofilias hereditarias e identificar la posible relación entre marcadores bioquímicos alterados de trombosis y su recurrencia. Método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal en el laboratorio de hemostasia del Hospital Provincial Docente Saturnino Lora de Santiago de Cuba, en el periodo de un año. Se tuvo como referencia 39 pacientes: 26 con eventos trombóticos egresados de los Servicios de Angiología, Cirugía Cardiovascular y Neurología, y 13 sin evento conocido, familiares de primera línea de aquellos pacientes que resultaron con marcadores de trombofilia positivos durante el estudio. Las variables clínicas analizadas fueron: edad, sexo, antecedentes personales y familiares de trombosis y número de eventos trombóticos en el paciente. Se calcularon media, desviación estándar y porcentajes. Resultados: el déficit de proteína S ocupó el primer lugar con 22 (56,4 %). La combinación de parámetros alterados que predominó fue el déficit de proteína C y S con 8 (20,5 %). En el 64,1 % se encontraron dos o más marcadores alterados; se muestran similares porcentajes en pacientes con 1, con 2 dos o más eventos de trombosis. Conclusión: la trombofilia se presentó como una enfermedad que afecta fundamentalmente a mujeres, en edades intermedias de la vida. En pacientes asintomáticos con antecedentes familiares de evento trombótico, sin aparente causa, los marcadores de laboratorio orientan el enfoque diagnóstico. La presencia de dos o más marcadores trombogénicos positivos inclina a la ocurrencia de eventos trombóticos en esta población.
Foundation: hereditary thrombophilia is defined as the genetically determined tendency to venous thromboembolism, an entity with a significant incidence worldwide. A large percentage of these thrombosis events could be explained from the laboratory. Objective: to characterize hereditary thrombophilias from a humoral clinical point of view and to identify the possible relationship between altered biochemical markers of thrombosis and its recurrence. Method: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the hemostasis laboratory of the Saturnino Lora Provincial Teaching Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, over a period of one year. 39 patients were used as a reference: 26 with thrombotic events discharged from the Angiology, Cardiovascular Surgery and Neurology Services, and 13 without a known event, first-line relatives of those patients who had positive thrombophilia markers during the study. The clinical variables analyzed were: age, sex, personal and family history of thrombosis and number of thrombotic events in the patient. Mean, standard deviation and percentages were calculated. Results: protein S deficiency ranked first with 22 (56.4 %). The combination of altered parameters that predominated was protein C and S deficiency with 8 (20.5 %). Two or more altered markers were found in 64.1 %; similar percentages are shown in patients with 1, 2 or more thrombosis events. Conclusion: thrombophilia was presented as a disease that mainly affects women, at intermediate ages of life. In asymptomatic patients with a family history of thrombotic event, without apparent cause, laboratory markers guide the diagnostic approach. The presence of two or more positive thrombogenic markers suggests the occurrence of thrombotic events in this population.
RESUMEN
Fundamento: la hipertensión arterial es una enfermedad de origen multifactorial relacionada con factores genéticos y ambientales, que ha experimentado un incremento notable en su prevalencia durante los últimos años. Es causa silente de morbilidad y daño de órganos diana en adolescentes. La detección precoz de este padecimiento es importante como marcador de riesgo de hipertensión en la adultez. Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia y caracterizar la hipertensión arterial en adolescentes de 15-19 años de edad. Métodos: se realizó un estudio de corte transversal en el periodo de septiembre a diciembre de 2022. El universo lo constituyeron los 1561 adolescente de 15-19 años de edad, la muestra 1444 (92,50 %). El muestreo fue probabilístico sistemático. Las variables analizadas fueron: edad, sexo, color de la piel, prehipertensión e hipertensión arterial (sistólica, diastólica y sistodiastólica) y severidad de la hipertensión. Se analizaron los estadígrafos: frecuencia, porcentaje y prevalencia. Resultados: el 8,21 % fueron diagnosticados con prehipertensión arterial y el 39 (7,44 %, prevalencia aparente) con hipertensión. El 7,69 % de los hipertensos tenían elevada la tensión arterial diastólica, el 35,90 % la sistólica y el 56,41 % ambas. El 89,74 % de los hipertensos se encontraban en el estadio 1 y el 10,26 % en estadio 2. Conclusiones: la prevalencia de la hipertensión arterial en los adolescentes incluidos en la investigación fue superior a la reportada en Cuba. El mayor porcentaje de pacientes con prehipertensión e hipertensión arterial se evidenció en mayores de 19 años de edad, varones y de color de piel negra.
Foundation: high blood pressure is a disease of multifactorial origin related to genetic and environmental factors, which has experienced a notable increase in its prevalence in recent years. It is a silent cause of morbidity and target organ damage in adolescents. Early detection of this condition is important as a risk marker for hypertension in adulthood. Objective: determine the prevalence and characterize arterial hypertension in adolescents 15-19 years of age. Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out in the period from September to December 2022. The universe consisted of 1,561 adolescents aged 15-19 years, the sample being 1,444 (92.50 %). The sampling was systematic probabilistic. The variables analyzed were: age, sex, skin color, prehypertension and arterial hypertension (systolic, diastolic and systodiastolic) and severity of hypertension. The statisticians were analyzed: frequency, percentage and prevalence. Results: 8.21 % were diagnosed with prehypertension and 39 (7.44 %, apparent prevalence) with hypertension. 7.69 % of hypertensive patients had elevated diastolic blood pressure, 35.90 % had elevated systolic blood pressure, and 56.41 % both. 89.74 % of hypertensive patients were in stage 1 and 10.26 % in stage 2. Conclusions: the prevalence of arterial hypertension in the adolescents included in the research was higher than that reported in Cuba. The highest percentage of patients with prehypertension and high blood pressure was seen in people over 19 years of age, men, and black skin color.

RESUMEN
Fundamento: los síndromes coronarios agudos constituyen un problema de salud debido a su alta morbilidad y mortalidad. Sería razonable asumir que los trabajadores de la salud cuidan y controlan sus propios factores de riesgo coronario, no obstante, los resultados obtenidos en investigaciones muestran que no siempre es así. Objetivo: caracterizar los factores de riesgo coronario en trabajadores del Hospital General Docente Guillermo Domínguez López de Las Tunas. Método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en el Hospital General Docente Guillermo Domínguez López de Las Tunas entre diciembre de 2019 y diciembre de 2022. La población de estudio fue de 912 trabajadores y la muestra de 200. Fue un muestreo probabilístico, aleatorio simple, dividido en dos grupos: A (con síndrome coronario agudo) y B (sin síndrome coronario agudo). Se analizaron las siguientes variables: edad, sexo, factores de riesgo coronario. La información se obtuvo de expedientes clínicos y se analizó en porcentaje, media, desviación estándar y el estadígrafo z para obtener la influencia de los factores de riesgo en la enfermedad. Resultados: la media de edad del grupo A: 56,5 (±5,03), grupo B: 46,4 (±11,33) años con predominio del sexo masculino (54,5 %). Los factores de riesgo que predominaron fueron: sedentarismo (57 %), tabaquismo (36,5 %) e hipertensión arterial (34 %). Los de mayor influencia fueron: los antecedentes de cardiopatía isquémica, la enfermedad vascular, la obesidad abdominal (z: 0,99), la diabetes mellitus (z: 0,92) y la hipertensión arterial (z: 0,70). Conclusiones: el síndrome coronario predomina en la quinta década de la vida y con mayor frecuencia en el sexo masculino.
Foundation: acute coronary syndromes constitute a health problem due to their high morbidity and mortality. It would be reasonable to assume that health workers take care of and control their own coronary risk factors, however, research results show that this is not always the case. Objective: to characterize coronary risk factors in workers at the Guillermo Domínguez López General Teaching Hospital in Las Tunas. Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at the Guillermo Domínguez López General Teaching Hospital in Las Tunas between December 2019 and December 2022. The study population was 912 workers and the sample was 200. It was a probabilistic, simple random sampling divided into two groups: A (with acute coronary syndrome) and B (without acute coronary syndrome). The following variables were analyzed: age, sex, coronary risk factors. The information was obtained from clinical records and analyzed in percentage, mean, standard deviation and the z statistic to obtain the influence of risk factors on the disease. Results: the average age of group A: 56.5 (±5.03), group B: 46.4 (±11.33) years with a predominance of the male sex (54.5 %). The predominant risk factors were: sedentary lifestyle (57 %), smoking (36.5 %) and high blood pressure (34 %). Those with the greatest influence were: a history of ischemic heart disease, vascular disease, abdominal obesity (z: 0.99), diabetes mellitus (z: 0.92) and arterial hypertension (z: 0.70). Conclusions: coronary syndrome predominates in the fifth decade of life and is more common in males.
RESUMEN
Fundamento: la enfermedad cerebrovascular es toda alteración de una o varias áreas encefálicas, ya sea de forma transitoria o permanente, secundaria a un trastorno de la circulación cerebral de origen isquémico o hemorrágico.

RESUMEN
Introduction: The prevalence of hepatitis C (HCV) is high among prisoners. If untreated, a substantial number of patients progress to cirrhosis, hepatocarcinoma, or liver failure. World Health Organization aims to reduce the incidence of infection by 90% by 2030. Objective: To describe the prevalence of anti-HCV and sociodemographic and clinical aspects, related to the presence of the antibody, in the population deprived of liberty. Methods: Cross-sectional and epidemiological survey, with exploratory, observational, quantitative-analytical components. A simple random sample of 233 participants, with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) and, a 4% margin of error, was calculated for a population of 1,564 prisoners. The relationship between sociodemographic and clinical variables was evaluated, considering as outcome of the rapid test for anti-HCV results, using the associative measure Prevalence Ratio (PR) with a 95% CI. Results: 240 people participated. The prevalence of anti-HCV was 2%, and the use of injectable drugs (PR 14.75; PRIC95% 2.09-104.28), being born in the decades of 1951 to 1980 (PR 9.28; PRIC95% 1.06-81.57) and be co-infected with hepatitis B virus (PR 10.75; PRIC95% 1.66-69.65) were the aspects that presented a relevant prevalence ratio for the presence of the virus, which could be generalized to the population. Conclusion: This is a population that is difficult to access, the study is relevant because it contributes to preventive measures of public health in the prison system. Moreover, it shows the need to implement measures to prevent and contain the spread of HCV, aiming at the elimination of hepatitis C in this population.

Abstract Objective: To build a model based on cardiometabolic indicators that allow the identification of overweight adolescents at higher risk of subclinical atherosclerotic disease (SAD). Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 161 adolescents with a body mass index ≥ + 1 z-Score, aged 10 to 19 years. Carotid intima-media complex thickness (IMT) was evaluated using ultrasound to assess subclinical atherosclerotic disease. Cardiometabolic indicators evaluated included nutritional status, central adiposity, blood pressure, lipidic profile, glycemic profile, as well as age and sex. Data was presented using measures of central tendency and dispersion, as well as absolute and relative frequency. The relationship between IMT measurement (outcome variable) and other variables (independent variables) was assessed using Pearson or Spearman correlation, followed by multiple regression modeling with Gamma distribution to analyze predictors of IMT. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS and R software, considering a significance level of 5 %. Results: It was observed that 23.7 % had Carotid thickening, and the prevalence of abnormal fasting glucose was the lowest. Age and fasting glucose were identified as predictors of IMT increase, with IMT decreasing with age by approximately 1 % per year and increasing with glucose by around 0.24 % per mg/dL. Conclusion: The adolescent at higher risk is younger with higher fasting glycemia levels.
RESUMEN
Introducción: Existe escaso conocimiento sobre la asociación entre marcadores cardiometabólicos en preescolares con características nutricionales y sociodemográficos familiares. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre marcadores cardiometabólicos de preescolares y sus padres con las características nutricionales y sociodemográficas familiares. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal, de asociación y correlación entre variables Padre-Hijo/a de carácter multicéntrico, en el cual participaron 140 sujetos (70 preescolares y su respectivo padre o madre). Las variables fueron estado nutricional, composición corporal, fuerza prensil y presión arterial de padres/madres y sus hijos/as preescolares y variables sociodemográficas de las familias. Resultados: Existió diferencia significativa al 5% respecto de la obesidad de los padres con la de los hijos/as, se presentó correlación positiva (0,397) entre las variables "porcentaje de grasa" padres e hijos/as. En relación al "nivel de escolaridad de la madre" hubo diferencia significativa con el "porcentaje de grasa" de los hijos/as (p<0,011). Existió similarmente diferencia significativa (p=0,033) entre la variable "tener hermanos" respecto a la variable "porcentaje de grasa" de los hijos/as. Finalmente se presentó asociación entre "usa Tablet" (dispositivo audiovisual) y "presión arterial" de los hijos/as (p=0,030). La variable "usa Tablet" se asoció significativamente con la "fuerza prensil" de los hijos/as (p=0,044). Conclusiones: Padres obesos con alto porcentaje de grasa tienen hijos/as preescolares con bajo perfil cardiometabólico; las variables nivel educacional inferior de la madre y tener hermanos se asociaron a un mayor porcentaje de grasa en los hijos/as, conjuntamente el uso de Tablet en preescolares mostró mayores niveles de presión arterial y menor fuerza prensil(AU)
Introduction: Little is known about the association between cardiometabolic markers in preschoolers with family nutritional and socio- demographic characteristics. Objective: To determine the association between cardiometabolic markers in preschoolers and their parents with family nutritional and sociodemographic characteristics. Materials and methods: cross-sectional study of association and correlation between parent-child variables, multicenter, 140 subjects participated (70 preschoolers and their respective parents). The variables were nutritional status, body composition, prehensile strength and blood pressure of parents and their preschool children and sociodemographic variables of the families. Results: There was a significant difference at 5% between parents' obesity and children's obesity, with a positive correlation (0.397) between the variable "percentage of fat" parents/children. In relation to the "mother's level of schooling" there was a significant difference with the "percentage of fat" of the children (p<0.011). Similarly, there was a significant difference (p=0.033) between the variable "Having siblings" with respect to the variable "percentage of fat" of the children. Finally, there was an association between "Tablet use" (audiovisual device) and "blood pressure" of the children (p=0.030). The variable "Tablet use" was significantly associated with the "prehensile strength" of the children (p=0.044). Conclusions: Obese parents with a high percentage of fat have preschool children with a low cardiometabolic profile; the variables lower educational level of the mother and having siblings were associated with a higher percentage of fatness in children; together, the use of Tablet in preschoolers showed higher levels of blood pressure and lower prehensile strength(AU)

Abstract Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in COVID-19 patients and is associated with greater morbidity and mortality. Knowing the risks of AKI allows for identification, prevention, and timely treatment. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with AKI in hospitalized patients. Methods: A descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional, and analytical component study of adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 from March 1 to December 31, 2020 was carried out. AKI was defined by the creatinine criteria of the KDIGO-AKI guidelines. Information, regarding risk factors, was obtained from electronic medical records. Results: Out of the 934 patients, 42.93% developed AKI, 60.59% KDIGO-1, and 9.9% required renal replacement therapy. Patients with AKI had longer hospital stay, higher mortality, and required more intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, and vasopressor support. Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR 1.03; 95% CI 1.02-1.04), male sex (OR 2.13; 95% CI 1.49-3.04), diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.04-2.32), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.06-4.04), C-reactive protein (CRP) (OR 1.02; 95% CI 1.00-1.03), ICU admission (OR 1.81; 95% CI 1.04-3.16), and vasopressor support (OR 7.46; 95% CI 3.34-16.64) were risk factors for AKI, and that bicarbonate (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.84-0.94) and partial pressure arterial oxygen/inspired oxygen fraction index (OR 0.99; 95% CI 0.98-0.99) could be protective factors. Conclusions: A high frequency of AKI was documented in COVID-19 patients, with several predictors: age, male sex, DM, CKD, CRP, ICU admission, and vasopressor support. AKI occurred more frequently in patients with higher disease severity and was associated with higher mortality and worse outcomes.
RESUMO Introdução: Lesão renal aguda (LRA) ocorre frequentemente em pacientes com COVID-19 e associa-se a maior morbidade e mortalidade. Conhecer riscos da LRA permite a identificação, prevenção e tratamento oportuno. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar fatores de risco associados à LRA em pacientes hospitalizados. Métodos: Realizou-se estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, transversal e de componente analítico de pacientes adultos hospitalizados com COVID-19 de 1º de março a 31 de dezembro, 2020. Definiu-se a LRA pelos critérios de creatinina das diretrizes KDIGO-LRA. Informações sobre fatores de risco foram obtidas de prontuários eletrônicos. Resultados: Dos 934 pacientes, 42,93% desenvolveram LRA, 60,59% KDIGO-1 e 9,9% necessitaram de terapia renal substitutiva. Pacientes com LRA apresentaram maior tempo de internação, maior mortalidade e necessitaram de mais internações em UTIs, ventilação mecânica e suporte vasopressor. A análise multivariada mostrou que idade (OR 1,03; IC 95% 1,02-1,04), sexo masculino (OR 2,13; IC 95% 1,49-3,04), diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR 1,55; IC 95% 1,04-2,32), doença renal crônica (DRC) (OR 2,07; IC 95% 1,06-4,04), proteína C reativa (PCR) (OR 1,02; IC 95% 1,00-1,03), admissão em UTI (OR 1,81; IC 95% 1,04-3,16) e suporte vasopressor (OR 7,46; IC 95% 3,34-16,64) foram fatores de risco para LRA, e que bicarbonato (OR 0,89; IC 95% 0,84-0,94) e índice de pressão parcial de oxigênio arterial/fração inspirada de oxigênio (OR 0,99; IC 95% 0,98-0,99) poderiam ser fatores de proteção. Conclusões: Documentou-se alta frequência de LRA em pacientes com COVID-19, com diversos preditores: idade, sexo masculino, DM, DRC, PCR, admissão em UTI e suporte vasopressor. LRA ocorreu mais frequentemente em pacientes com maior gravidade da doença e associou-se a maior mortalidade e piores desfechos.

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic has become one of the largest health, economic, and social disasters in human history. In this context, there has been a substantial increase in various emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional exhaustion. Given these issues, there is concern about the impact this may have on patients with cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) during this health emergency. Objective: To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on CVRF and mental health in subjects undergoing private cardiology consultation. Method: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional study. The target population consisted of 100 users attending a private cardiology consultation, all of them giving informed consent, with anon-probabilistic convenience sample. DASS-21 survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic to evaluate depression, anxiety, and stress. Anthropometric measurements and tests for glycemia, insulinemia, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile, and blood pressure were performed for the pre-pandemic (PP) and during-pandemic (IP) COVID-19 periods. Statistical analysis, measures of central tendency, and bivariate analysis with Chi2 test. was performed using a Stata software package. Results: The sample consisted of 100 subjects, 51.5% female, with an average age of 60.8 ± 13.7 years. Subjects had a high socio-economic Level (SEL)in 55.5% and higher education level in 63.6%. Comparing PP and IP periods, the most relevant results, re were respectivly: altered blood pressure (BP) 16.6% vs 22.9%, overweight/obesity 65.8% vs 70.7%, HbA1c 16.6% vs 31.9%, altered insulinemia 15.7% vs 21%, altered non-HDL cholesterol 52.7%, vs 50.5%, and HOMA index 44.5% vs 54.3%. A significant increase in mental health disorders in IP was evidenced, which were: mild/moderate depression 20%, and severe/extremely severe depression 11%; mild/moderate anxiety 25%, and severe/extremely severe anxiety 22%, mild/moderate stress 21%, and severe/ extremely severe stress 18%. Conclusions: In the IP phase there was a statistically significant alteration in clinical variables such as BP, HbA1c, HOMA index, insulinemia, non-HDL cholesterol, and overweight/ obesity. Also, a high percentage of depression, anxiety, and stress was observed. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted CVR and mental health in subjects being cared for in the private health system.

Los llamados factores de riesgo cardiovascular conductuales, como la dieta inadecuada, sedentarismo, el consumo excesivo de alcohol y el tabaquismo, aumentan la probabilidad de ataque cardíaco y accidente cerebrovascular, incluso cuando coexisten en personas sin padecimientos previos. Objetivo fue identificar los factores de riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes geriátricos del Centro de salud INNFA, en Macas, Ecuador. Metodología: Investigación con enfoque cuantitativo, diseño no experimental, alcance descriptivo, de corte transversal, empleó una muestra de 40 pacientes geriátricos atendidos en el Centro de Salud referido, la técnica para la recolección de datos fue la encuesta y el instrumento un cuestionario de riesgos cardiovasculares. La muestra de estudio se caracterizó por el predominio del sexo femenino y edades entre 60 y 69 años en los pacientes, condiciones socio-económicas que pueden incrementar el riesgo cardiovascular como como nivel educativo básico y la remuneración menor a un salario básico unificado. Conclusión: La mayoría de los pacientes presentaban dos o más factores de riesgo y entre estos predominaron la hipertensión arterial, hipercolesterolemia, sobrepeso, consumo excesivo de bebidas alcohólicas y la diabetes mellitus.
The so-called behavioral cardiovascular risk factors, such as inadequate diet, sedentary lifestyle, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking, increase the probability of heart attack and stroke, even when they coexist in persons with no previous conditions. The objective was to identify cardiovascular risk factors in geriatric patients at the INNFA health center in Macas, Ecuador. Methodology: Research with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, descriptive scope, cross-sectional, used a sample of 40 geriatric patients attended at the referred health center, the technique for data collection was the survey and the instrument was a cardiovascular risk questionnaire. The study sample was characterized by the predominance of female sex and age between 60 and 69 years in patients, socio-economic conditions that may increase cardiovascular risk such as basic education level and remuneration lower than a unified basic salary. Conclusion: Most of the patients had two or more risk factors and among these, arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, overweight, excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages and diabetes mellitus predominated.
Os chamados factores de risco cardiovascular comportamentais, como a alimentação inadequada, o sedentarismo, o consumo excessivo de álcool e o tabagismo, aumentam a probabilidade de enfarte do miocárdio e de acidente vascular cerebral, mesmo quando coexistem em pessoas sem patologias prévias. O objetivo foi identificar os factores de risco cardiovascular em pacientes geriátricos do centro de saúde INNFA em Macas, Equador.
