ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Our objective was to assess the impact on mortality, antibacterial therapy duration, and length of stay of using PCT to guide antibiotic cessation in critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, ISI Web of Knowledge, BioMed Central, ScienceDirect and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, of clinical trials published in English before December 31, 2019. Eligible studies should be carried out in adults at ICU with sepsis, comparing the PCT-guided antimicrobial therapy with standard of care. A random effects model was used. RESULTS: Twelve studies were eligible with a total of 4292 patients included. The combined relative risk for 28-day mortality was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.79; 0.99), for the duration of antimicrobial therapy was -1.98 days (95% CI: -2.76, -1.21) and for ICU- length of stay was-1.21 days (95% CI: -4.16, 1.74). CONCLUSIONS: In critically ill adults with sepsis, a procalcitonin-guided strategy is associated with a significant shorter duration of antimicrobial therapy. This reduction was associated with a significant decrease in mortality although the length of ICU stay was not affected.

ABSTRACT

Presenta las iniciativas políticas y las ideas, particularmente las científicas, que sustentaron el modelo de salubridad que propició el cambio en la percepción olfativa a finales del siglo XVIII en la Nueva España. En segundo lugar refiere a la nueva reglamentación de la salubridad urbana en la ciudad de México, que como capital del virreinato fue en donde se iniciaron esas reformas y sirvieron de modelo para proponerlas en ciudades provincianas como Toluca. La tercera parte del trabajo refiere la situación particularmente contradictoria de Toluca como ciudad salubre, comenzando por la antigua consideración de benignidad gracias al clima, pero por otro lado, con actividades comerciales que determinaron su insalubridad urbana. En seguida explica cuatro aspectos de la ciudad en el siglo XVIII: el trazo urbano, la población, los oficios y el tiempo libre, y la casa. (AU)
