RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To assess the associations and prognostic value of scleroderma patterns by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and cutaneous subsets. METHODS: At baseline, 1356 SSc patients from the RESCLE registry were compared according to the scleroderma pattern as Late pattern and non-Late pattern, which included Early and Active patterns. Patient characteristics, disease features, survival time and causes of death were analysed. RESULTS: Late pattern was identified in 540 (39.8%), and non-Late pattern in 816 (60.2%) patients (88% women; 987 lcSSc/251 dcSSc). Late pattern was associated to dcSSc (OR=1.96; p<0.001), interstitial lung disease (ILD) (OR=1.29; p=0.031), and scleroderma renal crisis (OR=3.46; p<0.001). Once the cutaneous subset was disregarded in an alternative analysis, both digital ulcers (DU) (OR=1.29; p<0.037) and anti-topoisomerase I antibodies (OR=1.39; p< 0.036) emerged associated with the Late pattern. By cutaneous subsets, associations with Late pattern were: (1) in dcSSc, acro-osteolysis (OR=2.13; p=0.022), and systolic pulmonary artery pressure >40 mmHg by Doppler echocardiogram (OR=2.24; p<0.001); and (2) in lcSSc, ILD (OR=1.38; p=0.028). Survival was reduced in dcSSc with Late pattern compared to non-Late pattern (p=0.049). Risk factors for SSc mortality in multivariate regression Cox analysis were age at diagnosis (HR=1.03; p<0.001), dcSSc (HR=2.48; p<0.001), DU (HR=1.38; p=0.046), ILD (HR=2.81; p<0.001), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (HR=1.99; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: SSc patients with Late pattern more frequently present dcSSc and develop more fibrotic and vascular manifestations. Advanced microangiopathy by NVC identifies dcSSc patients at risk of reduced survival due to SSc-related causes.

RESUMO

Objectives: The objectives of this study are (1) to analyse which group of admitted patients with risk factors is most ­vaccinated, (2) to find out whether vaccinated patients admitted for flu have fewer complications, and (3) to check whether there are differences in demographic and therapeutic characteristics between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients who have been admitted. Patients and methods: This is a single-centre, observational, cross-sectional, and retrospective study of patients admitted for flu at La Paz University Hospital in the 2013–2014 and 2014–2015 seasons, with an analysis of the variables included in the clinical history and mandatory declaration documents. Results: A total of 179 patients were ­admitted for influenza infection in the two seasons studied, of whom 65 (36.3%) patients were vaccinated. Patients with chronic heart disease were significantly more vaccinated than other risk groups. Furthermore, the average age of vaccinated patients was significantly higher than that of unvaccinated patients. We did not find any other significant differences in the remaining ­variables when comparing the two groups, nor did we find any less development of complications in the admitted and ­vaccinated patients. Conclusion: It is important to emphasise vaccination campaigns, increase vaccination coverage, and raise awareness of vaccination among all patients with chronic diseases.(AU)


Objetivos: 1) analizar qué grupo de pacientes con factores de riesgo que ingresa se vacuna más; 2) averiguar si los ­enfermos con gripe hospitalizados que han sido vacunados tienen menor número de complicaciones, y 3) comprobar si existen diferencias en cuanto a las características demográficas y terapéuticas al comparar a los pacientes ingresados vacunados y no vacunados. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio unicéntrico, observacional, transversal y retrospectivo de los pacientes ingresados por gripe en el Hospital Universitario La Paz en las temporadas 2013–2014 y 2014–2015, con análisis de las variables recogidas en el documento del historial clínico y de los documentos de declaración obligatoria. Resultados: 179 pacientes ingresaron por gripe en las dos temporadas estudiadas, de los cuales estaban vacunados 65 (36.3%). Se vacunaron más, de forma significativa, los pacientes con enfermedades cardiacas crónicas frente al resto de grupos de riesgo. La edad media de los vacunados era significativamente mayor. No encontramos otras diferencias significativas en el resto de las variables al comparar los dos grupos, tampoco un menor desarrollo de complicaciones en los pacientes ­ingresados y vacunados. Conclusiones: Es importante hacer hincapié en las campañas de vacunación, es necesario aumentar la cobertura vacunal en, y concienciar sobre la vacunación a, los enfermos con patologías crónicas.(AU)

RESUMO

La introducción del tratamiento antirretroviral de gran actividad (TARGA) ha supuesto una disminución de las infecciones oportunistas asociada a la inmunodepresión celular y humoral. Sin embargo, no está claro el impacto del TARGA en el desarrollo de otras patologías no asociadas a sida, como el cáncer de pulmón y la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC). El objetivo del presente artículo es revisar los aspectos más novedosos y relevantes de la patología pulmonar en pacientes infectados por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH)(AU)


The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has resulted in a reduction of opportunistic infections associated with cellular and humoral immunosuppression. However, what is still unclear is the impact of HAART on the development of other diseases not associated with AIDS, such as lung cancer and COPD. The aim of this paper is to review the most innovative and relevant aspects of lung pathology in patients infected with HIV(AU)
