RESUMO
RESUMEN Introducción. En Perú, el cáncer de mama representa el tipo de cáncer más frecuente en mujeres y el sexto tipo de cáncer más letal en la población general. La sobreexpresión del receptor del factor de crecimiento epidérmico (HER2+) ocurre en 20% a 30% de los cánceres de mama, y se asocia con tumores más agresivos, con mayor recurrencia y mayor mortalidad. Objetivo. Elaborar un conjunto de recomendaciones basadas en evidencias para el diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer de mama HER2+, con la finalidad de contribuir a reducir la mortalidad, progresión de la enfermedad y mejorar la calidad de vida. Métodos. Se conformó un panel de especialistas clínicos y metodólogos, quienes identificaron preguntas clínicas relevantes sobre el diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer de mama HER2+. Se desarrolló una búsqueda sistemática de GPC en Medline (PubMed), y en organismos elaboradores y recopiladores. Para la formulación de recomendaciones, el panel de especialistas discutió la evidencia y elementos del contexto de implementación de la recomendación, siguiendo la metodología propuesta por el Ministerio de Salud del Perú. Resultados. Se priorizó nueve preguntas clínicas. Se formuló un total de 25 recomendaciones clínicas. Conclusiones. Se elaboró una GPC basada en evidencias, a través de un proceso sistemático, riguroso y transparente desarrollado por un equipo multidisciplinario.
ABSTRACT Introduction. In Peru, breast cancer represents the most common type of cancer in women and the sixth most lethal type of cancer in the general population. Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2 +) occurs in 20% to 30% of breast cancers, and is associated with more aggressive tumors, with greater recurrence and greater mortality. Objective. Prepare a set of evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of HER2 + breast cancer, in order to help reduce mortality, disease progression and improve quality of life. Methods. A panel of clinical specialists and methodologists was formed, who identified relevant clinical questions about the diagnosis and treatment of HER2 + breast cancer. A systematic search for CPGs was carried out in Medline (PubMed), and in developing and compiling agencies. For the formulation of recommendations, the panel of specialists discussed the evidence and elements of the context of implementation of the recommendation, following the methodology proposed by the Ministry of Health of Peru. Results. Nine clinical questions were prioritized. A total of 25 clinical recommendations were made. Conclusions. An evidence-based CPG was developed through a systematic, rigorous and transparent process developed by a multidisciplinary team.
RESUMO
Background: Non-critical care Hospital-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury (Non-ICU HA-AKI) is a preventable common complication. Aim: To analyze its risk factors and outcomes in a general hospital ward. Material and Methods: A retrospective paired case-control 1:2 study was carried out from April to December 2014. Non-ICU HA-AKI was defined as those patients who experienced a 1.5-fold, or 0.3 mg/dl rise in serum creatinine after 24 hours of hospitalization. Controls were randomly selected, paired by date of hospital admission and specialty causing the admission. We analyzed short-term outcomes and risk factors. Results: We included 101cases aged 65 ± 16 years (55% women). Mean length of stay at the time of diagnosis of AKI was 7.9 ± 8.9 days. Hospital length of stay was longer in patients with AKI (p < 0.01), The risk for intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mortality were also higher (odds ratio [OR], 2.43 [95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.24 to 4.75)p < 0.01 and OR, 26.2 [95% CI, 8.8 to 104, P < 0.01). In a multivariate analysis, sepsis (OR, 3.64 [95% CI, 1.30 to 10.16] p = 0.013), dehydration (OR, 14.4 [95% CI, 4.49 to 46.19), baseline glomerular filtration (OR, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.94-0.98), contrast medium exposure (OR, 4.33 [95% CI, 1.60 to 11.66), recent exposure to Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (OR 3.23 [95% CI, 1.22 to 8.52 (p = 0.02)] and Charlson comorbidity index (OR, 1.23 [95% CI, 1.05 to 1.43 (p < 0.01) were independent risk factors for Non-ICU HA-AKI. Conclusions: Non-ICU HA-AKI is associated with a longer hospital stay and higher risk of ICU admission and mortality. Most risk factors are potentially preventable.
