RESUMO
This article summarizes the clinical practice guideline (CPG) for the management of acute pancreatitis in the Social Security of Peru (EsSalud), to provide evidence-based clinical recommendations for the management of acute pancreatitis in EsSalud. A guideline development group (GEG) was formed that included medical specialists and methodologists. The GEG formulated 7 clinical questions to be answered by this CPG. Systematic searches of systematic reviews and -when considered relevant- primary studies were carried out in PubMed during 2022. The evidence was selected to answer each of the clinical questions posed. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. In periodic work meetings, the GEG used the GRADE methodology to review the evidence and formulate the recommendations, the points of good clinical practice, and the corresponding flow charts. Finally, the CPG was approved with Resolution No. 105-IETSI-ESSALUD-2022. This CPG addressed 7 clinical questions on fluid therapy, start of enteral nutrition, analgesia, type of nutrition, antibiotic, and surgical treatment. Based on these questions, 8 recommendations (1 strong and 7 conditional), 13 BPCs, and 1 flowchart were formulated. This article summarizes the methodology and evidence-based conclusions of the CPG for the management of acute pancreatitis in EsSalud.

INTRODUCTION: This article summarizes the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic infection of hepatitis viral C of the Peruvian Health Social Security (EsSalud). OBJECTIVE: To provide clinical recommendations based on evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic infection of hepatitis viral C in EsSalud. METHODS: A guideline development group (GDG) was established, including medical specialists and methodologists. The GDG formulated 4 clinical questions to be answered in this CPG. Systematic searches of systematic reviews and primary studies (when pertinent) were conducted in PubMed, and Central (Cochrane) during 2019. The evidence was selected to answer each of the clinical questions. The accuracy of the evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. In periodic work meetings, the GEG used the GRADE methodology to review the evidence and formulate the recommendations, the points of good clinical practice and the treatment flowchart. Finally, the CPG was approved with Resolution No. 151-IETSIESSALUD-2019. RESULTS: The present CPG addressed 4 clinical questions of four topics: screening, diagnosis, staging and treatment. Based on these questions, 13 recommendations (8 strong recommendations and 5 weak recommendations), 27 points of good clinical practice, and 1 flowchart were formulated. CONCLUSION: This paper summarizes the methodology and evidencebased conclusions from the CPG for for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic infection of hepatitis viral C of the EsSalud.

BACKGROUND: Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) should follow an adequate methodology using an evidence-based approach in order to provide reliable recommendations. However, little is known regarding the quality of CPGs for Depression, which precludes its adequate use by stakeholders and mental health professionals. Thus, the aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review to describe the characteristics and quality of CPGs for Depression in adults. METHODS: We searched CPGs for Depression in adults in eighteen databases. We included those that were published in English or Spanish between January 2014 and May 2018 and were based on systematic reviews of the evidence. Two independent authors extracted the characteristics, type and number of recommendations, and quality (using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation-II [AGREE-II]) of each included CPG. RESULTS: We included eleven CPGs, of which 9/11 did not include the participation of patients in the development of the CPG, 4/11 CPGs had a score ≥ 70% in the overall evaluation of AGREE-II, and 3/11 CPGs had a score ≥ 70% in its third domain (rigor of development). In addition, only 5/11 CPGs shared their search strategy, while only 4/11 listed the selected studies they used to reach recommendations, and 7/11 CPGs did not clearly state which methodology they used to translate evidence into a recommendation. CONCLUSIONS: Most of evaluated CPGs did not take into account the patient's viewpoints, achieved a low score in the rigor of development domain, and did not clearly state the process used to reach the recommendations. Stakeholders, CPCGs developers, and CPGs users should take this into account when choosing CPGs, and interpreting and putting into practice their issued recommendations.

Background: The type of major duodenal papilla could be associated with difficult biliary cannulation at first endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in adults. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients undergoing ERCP for the first time by an expert endoscopist. We defined the type of papilla according to the endoscopic classification of Haraldsson in type 1-4. The outcome of interest was difficult biliary cannulation, defined according to the European Society of Gastroenterology. To assess the association of interest, we calculated crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PRc and PRa, respectively) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI) using Poisson regression with robust variance models, employing bootstrap methods. For the adjusted model we included the variables age, sex, and indication for ERCP, according to an epidemiological approach. Results: We included 230 patients. The most frequent type of papilla was type 1 (43.5%), and 101 (43.9%) of the patients presented difficult biliary cannulation. The results were consistent between the crude and adjusted analyses. After adjusting for age, sex, and ERCP indication, the prevalence of difficult biliary cannulation was highest in patients with papilla type 3 (PRa 3.66, 95%CI 2.49-5.84), followed by patients with papilla type 4 (PRa 3.21, 95%CI 1.82-5.75), and patients with papilla type 2 (PRa 1.95, 95%CI 1.15-3.20) compared to patients with papilla type 1. Conclusion: In adults undergoing ERCP for the first time, patients with papilla type 3 had a greater prevalence of difficult biliary cannulation than patients with papilla type 1.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of antituberculosis therapy on pregnancy outcomes in infertile women with genital tuberculosis. DESIGN: Systematic review. DATA SOURCES: We searched in PubMed/MEDLINE, CENTRAL and EMBASE up to 15 January 2023. Additionally, we manually search the reference lists of included studies. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: We included randomised controlled trials (RCT), non-RCTs (non-RCT) and cohort studies that evaluated the effects of antituberculosis treatment on pregnancy outcomes in infertile women with genital tuberculosis compared with not receiving antituberculosis treatment or receiving the treatment for a shorter period. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Two independent reviewers extracted data. We used Cochrane Risk of Bias 1.0 and Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies tools for risk of bias assessment and meta-analysis was not performed. We used Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations approach to assess the certainty of the evidence. RESULTS: Two RCTs and one non-RCT were included. The antituberculosis regimens were based on isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 6-12 months. In women without structural damage, very low certainty of evidence from one RCT showed that the antituberculosis treatment may have little to no effect on pregnancy, full-term pregnancy, abortion or intrauterine death and ectopic pregnancy, but the evidence is very uncertain. In women with structural damage, very low certainty of evidence from one non-RCT showed that the antituberculosis treatment may reduce the pregnancy rate (297 fewer per 1000, 95% CI -416 to -101), but the evidence is very uncertain. In addition, very low certainty of evidence from one RCT compared a 9-month vs 6-month antituberculosis treatment regimen showed similar effects between the schemes, but the evidence is very uncertain. Two RCTs reported that no adverse events of antituberculosis treatment were noted or were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: The effect of antituberculosis treatment on pregnancy outcomes in infertile women with genital tuberculosis is very uncertain. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42022273145.

BACKGROUND: The most-used equations for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations. However, it is unclear which of these shows better performance in Latin America. OBJECTIVE: To assess the performance of two equations for estimated GFR (eGFR) in Latin American countries. DESIGN AND SETTING: Systematic review and meta-analysis in Latin American countries. METHODS: We searched in three databases to identify studies that reported eGFR using both equations and compared them with measured GFR (mGFR) using exogenous filtration markers, among adults in Latin American countries. We performed meta-analyses on P30, bias (using mean difference [MD] and 95% confidence intervals [95% CI]), sensitivity and specificity; and evaluated the certainty of evidence using the GRADE methodology. RESULTS: We included 12 papers, and meta-analyzed six (five from Brazil and one from Mexico). Meta-analyses that compared CKD-EPI using creatinine measured with calibration traceable to isotope dilution mass spectrometry (CKD-EPI-Cr IDMS) and using MDRD-4 IDMS did not show differences in bias (MD: 0.55 ml/min/1.73m2; 95% CI: -3.34 to 4.43), P30 (MD: 4%; 95% CI: -2% to 11%), sensitivity (76% and 75%) and specificity (91% and 89%), with very low certainty of evidence for bias and P30, and low certainty of evidence for sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSION: We found that the performances of CKD-EPI-Cr IDMS and MDRD-4 IDMS did not differ significantly. However, since most of the meta-analyzed studies were from Brazil, the results cannot be extrapolated to other Latin American countries.

BACKGROUND: The accuracy of urine dipsticks to detect increased albuminuria is uncertain. We aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of urine dipsticks for detecting albuminuria. METHODS: A systematic review of studies that assessed the diagnostic accuracy of urine dipstick testing for detecting albuminuria has been conducted (using as reference standard the albuminuria in a 24-hour sample or the albumin-to-creatinine ratio) in Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The risk of bias of the included studies has been assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool. Whenever possible, we performed meta-analyses for sensitivity and specificity. The certainty of the evidence has also been assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology. RESULTS: A total of 14 studies have been included in this review, having assessed all albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) as assessed standard. Each study used different dipstick types. The resulting pooled sensitivity and specificity for each cutoff point were as follows: for ACR >30 mg/g (13 studies): 0.82 (95% confidence interval: 0.76-0.87) and 0.88 (0.83-0.91); for ACR 30-300 mg/g (7 studies): 0.72 (0.68-0.77) and 0.82 (0.76-0.89); and for ACR >300 mg/g (7 studies): 0.84 (0.71-0.90) and 0.97 (0.95-0.99), respectively. An overall high risk of bias, an important heterogeneity in all pooled analysis, and a very low certainty of the evidence have been found. CONCLUSIONS: Pooled sensitivity and specificity of urine dipsticks have been calculated for different ACR cutoff points. However, the dipstick types differed across studies, and the certainty of the evidence was very low. Thus, further well-designed studies are needed to reach more confident estimates and to assess accuracy differences across dipstick types. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42019124637).
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The use of acupuncture to treat depression is not uncommon. However, recommendations regarding acupuncture issued by clinical practice guidelines (CPG) vary widely. OBJECTIVE: To describe the recommendations regarding acupuncture in CPGs for depression in adults, and to assess the methodology used to reach them. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review of CPGs for depression management in adults, which performed systematic reviews (SRs) to answer their review questions, were published between January 2014 and May 2018, and assessed the use of acupuncture as a review question. We limited out search to articles published in English/Spanish. We assessed the SRs quality using the "A MeaSurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews-2" (AMSTAR-2), and described how the recommendation regarding acupuncture was reached. FINDINGS: We found five CPGs that fulfilled our inclusion criteria: three from the US, one from Canada, and one from China. Four CPGs fulfilled between two and three items of AMSTAR-2, and one CPG fulfilled seven items. The methodology used to formulate the recommendations varied between CPGs. Regarding acupuncture use recommendations: three CPGs did not issue any recommendation (although one mentions that it should not be used), whilst two were in favor. DISCUSSIONS: The lack of a clearly stated review question presented in the majority of CPGs prevents the reader from understanding what the CPG developing group was trying to answer. Moreover, the arguments presented to support a decision are usually not detailed enough. Therefore, the assessment of the recommendations was extremely difficult. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Given that the formulation of recommendations is not always reliable, clinicians should carefully read and assess the recommendations presented in CPGs before implementing them.

RESUMO
RESUMEN La pandemia por COVID-19 nos presenta un contexto difícil para la toma de decisiones clínicas. En este escenario, el presente artículo tiene por objetivo explicar al personal de salud asistencial algunos conceptos fundamentales sobre la toma de decisiones basadas en evidencias con respecto a brindar o no cierta intervención. Para ello, primero se discutirá en qué casos realizar un proceso de toma de decisiones basadas en evidencias. Luego se aclararán ciertos conceptos previos (toma de decisiones en base a la plausibilidad fisiopatológica, las observaciones realizadas durante la práctica clínica, la evidencia de estudios clínicos; así como la influencia de la industria farmacéutica). Seguidamente, se presentan los pasos para tomar decisiones basadas en evidencias: Formular una pregunta, buscar los estudios que respondan a dicha pregunta, leer críticamente dichos estudios, entender la lógica de la toma de decisiones, prepararse para tomar la decisión, realizar el balance (entre los beneficios, daños y costos), realizar un proceso de toma de decisiones compartidas y reevaluar la evidencia.
ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic is a difficult scenario for clinical decision making. Therefore, this paper aims to explain healthcare practitioners some basic concepts about evidence-based decision making with respect on doing or not doing a given intervention. For this, firstly we will discuss in which cases an evidence-based decision making process in necessary. Then, some previous concepts will be clarified (decision making based on pathophysiological plausibility, observations made during clinical practice, clinical evidence, as well as the influence from the pharmaceutical industry). Afterwards steps for evidence-based decision making will be described: Asking a question, looking for references answering this question, critically assess such references, understand the underlying logic for decision making, prepare for decision- making, make a balance (benefit, harm, and cost), perform a shared decision making process and reassess the evidence.

Para responder cada pregunta se realizaron búsquedas sistemáticas de revisiones sistemáticas y, cuando fue considerado pertinente, de estudios primarios; y se seleccionó la evidencia pertinente. La certeza de la evidencia fue evaluada usando la metodología Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). En reuniones periódicas, el GEG usó la metodología GRADE para revisar la evidencia y emitir las recomendaciones. Se emitieron ocho recomendaciones (cuatro fuertes y cuatro condicionales), 29 puntos de buena práctica clínica, y tres flujogramas.
ABSTRACT This paper summarizes the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) for the screening, diagnosis, and management of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1-3 in the Social Security of Peru (EsSalud). A guideline development group (GDG) was established for develop this CPG, which included clinical and methodology specialists, who formulated 08 clinical questions. Systematic searches of systematic reviews and, when considered necessary, primary studies were conducted to answer each question; and relevant evidence was selected. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. In periodic work meetings, the GDG used the GRADE methodology for reviewing the evidence and for developing recommendations. At the end, this CPG formulated 08 recommendations (04 strong and 04 conditional), 29 points of good clinical practice, and 03 flowcharts were formulated.
RESUMO
Las revisiones sistemáticas (RS) son estudios que buscan resumir la evidencia disponible sobre una pregunta de investigación, para lo cual pueden usar estrategias estadísticas conocidas como meta-análisis (MA). En la actualidad, las RS son fundamentales para tomar decisiones basadas en evidencias, por lo cual resulta de suma importancia que los profesionales de la salud sepan enfrentarse a este tipo de estudios. Por ello, el presente artículo tiene por objetivo familiarizar al lector con los aspectos básicos para realizar una correcta lectura de RS e interpretación de MA, para lo cual se utiliza un ejemplo hipotético de una condición ficticia llamada "Síndrome del glotón". Asimismo, se aborda la interpretación de la certeza de la evidencia según la metodología Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE).
Systematic reviews (SR) are studies that seek to summarize the available evidence regarding a research question, for which they can use statistical strategies known as meta-analysis (MA). Currently, SRs are fundamental to making evidence-based decisions, which is why it is very important for health professionals to know how to face this type of studies. Therefore, this article aims to familiarize the reader with the basic concepts to make a correct appraisal of SRs and interpretation of MAs, for which a hypothetical example of a fictitious condition called "Glutton Syndrome" is used. In addition, the interpretation of the certainty of the evidence according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology is addressed.
RESUMO
Introducción: Las revistas científicas son el medio ideal para la difusión de artículos científicos. Sin embargo, pocas revistas científicas peruanas están indizadas en bases de datos internacionales, lo cual afecta su visibilidad. Objetivos: Determinar las características de los artículos publicados en la revista del Cuerpo Médico del Hospital Nacional Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo (HNAAA) durante el periodo 2010-2014. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo y bibliométrico. Se revisaron todos los artículos publicados por la Revista del Cuerpo Médico del HNAAA en el periodo 2010-2014, y se tabularon variables relacionadas a las características de los artículos (año de publicación, tipo de publicación, instituciones participantes, número de citaciones e indexación en Google Académico) y de los autores (número de autores, autores estudiantes). Para cuantificar las citas y el cálculo del Factor de Impacto Modificado (FIM) se utilizó Google Scholar. Resultados: La revista durante el periodo 2010-2014 publicó 232 artículos, evidenciándose un incremento del número de artículos por año. Treinta y un artículos no se encontraban indizados en Google Scholar, 105 contaba por lo menos con un autor estudiante, teniendo 84 de estos a un estudiante como autor corresponsal. El 74,6% de los artículos tuvieron algún autor de Lambayeque, y el 46,1% tuvieron algún autor del HNAAA. El FIM ha aumentado en los últimos años, siendo de 0,09 para el año 2014. Conclusiones: La revista del Cuerpo Médico del Hospital Nacional Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo muestra un crecimiento en el número de publicaciones anuales y en su FI. Se requiere adoptar nuevas estrategias para combatir la endogenia y aumentar las citaciones.
RESUMO
Objetivo: Determinar los mecanismos de interacción entre el extracto etanólico de Jatrohpa curcas L. y la metoclopramida sobre el sistema gastrointestinal. Material y Métodos: Se usó 30 ratones albinos machos, en5 grupos; los que recibieron por vía oral: Grupo 1: Jatropha curcas L. 800 mg/Kg, y 0, 5mg/Kg de metoclopramida. Grupo 2: 0.5 mg/mL de metoclopramida. Grupo 3: 1.5 mg/Kg de Atropina. Grupo 4: 800 mg/kg de Jatropha curcas L. Grupo 5: no recibió medicamento. A todos, se les administró por vía oral: carbón activado al 5% 0,1 mL/10g, como marcador intestinal. Se empleó el Método Arboset al, para evaluar la motilidad intestinal. La validación estadística del recorrido intestinal se realizó aplicando las pruebas de Kolmogorov Smirnov, ANOVA de 1 cola, Tukey y Newman-Keuls. Resultados: Se observó un el porcentaje de recorrido del carbón de 36.46% del grupo 1 frente a 65,45%, 3,66% y 58,87% de los grupos 2, 3 y 4, respectivamente; y de 58,87% del grupo 4 frente a 20,94% del grupo 5. Conclusiones: Se evidenció el antagonismo entre el extracto etanólico de la semilla de Jatropha curcas L. con la metoclopramida, el cual se explicaría por la interacción entre el sistema colinérgico, adrenérgico, GABAérgico y de neuropéptidos sobre la glándula suprarrenal, sistema nervioso central y gastrointestinal.
Objective: Determinate the mechanisms of interaction between the ethanol extract of Jatrohpacurcas L. and metoclopramide on gastrointestinal system. Material and Methods: 30 male albino mice were used, forming 5 groups and received oral medications as follows: Group 1: Jatropha curcas L. 800 mg / kg, and 0.5 mg/Kg of metoclopramide. Group 2: 0.5 mg/mL of metoclopramide. Group 3: 1.5 mg/Kg of atropine. Group 4: 800 mg/Kg of Jatropha curcas L. Group 5 received no medication. All groups receivedoral activated charcoal 0.1 mL/10g as intestinal marker. The Arbos et al method was used to evaluate intestinal motility. The statistical validation of the intestine dynamics was performed using the Kolmogorov Smirnov, 1-tailed ANOVA, Tukey and Newman-Keuls. Results: the percentage of charcoal runs in the 1rst group was 36.46% compared to 65.45%, 3.66 % and 58.87% for the 2nd, 3th and 4th groups, respectively. In the 4th group was 58,87% compared to 20.94% in the 5th group. Conclusions: the antagonism between the ethanol extract of the seeds of J.curcas L. with metoclopramide, which is probably would explain by the interaction between the cholinergic system, adrenergic system, GABAergic system and neuropeptides on the adrenal gland, central nervous system and gastrointestinal system.
