ABSTRACT
Hemodynamic management, specifically blood pressure, is essential to reduce mortality and preserve functional capacity. However, the literature is uncertain about the best blood pressure target to be adopted after performing mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Randomized clinical trials that compared blood pressure goals after mechanical thrombectomy were searched in the following databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Biomedcentral, and Cochrane Library. The last search was on September 19, 2023. The results obtained were used to construct network meta-analyses. A total of 1556 participants were enrolled from 4 randomized controlled trials (OPTIMAL-BP, ENCHANTED2/MT, BP-TARGET, BEST-II). The last article was not included in the network meta-analysis because it did not have common blood pressure targets. The outcomes compared were: mRS (modified Rankin scale), eTICI/mTICI scale scores, symptomatic and any intracerebral hemorrhage, post-intervention NIHSS, and post-intervention infarct volume. The outcomes using the mRS scale showed that better outcomes were reached with less intensive blood pressure targets when comparing < 120 mmHg vs. ≤ 180 mmHg, OR: 0.71 (95% CI 0.54 - 0.94), in the outcome of mRS 0-1. And for the mRS 0-2 outcome with comparisons < 120 mmHg vs. ≤ 180 mmHg, with OR: 0.59 (95% CI 0.44 - 0.77) and < 140 mmHg vs. ≤ 180 mmHg, with OR: 0.61 (95% CI 0.41 - 0.89). In patients with large vessel occlusion treated with mechanical thrombectomy and who achieved good reperfusion, intensive blood pressure lowering is not effective and might be harmful respect to non intensive blood pressure control in recanalized patients.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Objectives: to describe behavioral changes related to mental health in children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder during social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: this is a systematic review conducted under the PRISMA protocol (2020) in the PubMed, SciELO and VHL databases, with a period of 2019-2022. Results: 3,735 studies were screened and ten were selected, according to the eligibility criteria. The sample had 4,688 participants. There was evidence of a worsening of signs and symptoms regarding the mental health of this population, expressed mainly through changes in mood, with increased anxiety, sadness or depressed symptoms, in addition to increased hyperactivity. Behavioral changes also included reduced sleep quality and physical activity, and increased use of digital technologies and screen time. Conclusions: it was described that children and youth groups, especially those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, had increased emotional symptoms and conduct problems when compared to before the pandemic, making it possible to recognize the negative repercussions of the changes imposed by it. These factors are important for planning more effective care strategies.
Resumo Objetivos: descrever mudanças comportamentais, relacionadas à saúde mental, em crianças e adolescentes com Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade durante o isolamento social devido à pandemia da COVID-19. Métodos: trata-se de uma revisão sistemática conduzida sob protocolo PRISMA (2020) nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e BVS, com período de 2019-2022. Resultados: foram triados 3.735 estudos e selecionados dez, de acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade. A amostra contou com 4.688 participantes. Evidenciou-se um agravamento de sinais e sintomas quanto à saúde mental dessa população expresso principalmente através de mudanças no estado de humor, com aumento da ansiedade, tristeza ou sintoma deprimido, além do aumento da hiperatividade. As mudanças comportamentais incluíram ainda redução da qualidade do sono e da prática de atividades físicas e aumento do uso de tecnologias digitais e tempo de tela. Conclusões: foi descrito que os grupos infanto-juvenis, sobretudo com Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade, tinham sintomas emocionais e problemas de conduta aumentados quando comparados a antes da pandemia, sendo possível reconhecer as repercussões negativas das mudanças impostas por ela. Esses fatores são importantes para o planejamento de estratégias de cuidado mais efetivas.
