ABSTRACT

Antecedentes. El embarazo ectópico cervical es la implantación del embrión en la zona de revestimiento del canal endocervical. Representa menos del 1% de todos los embarazos ectópicos. Reporte de Caso: Reportamos dos pacientes que acuden a consulta de emergencia por sangrado transvaginal. El diagnóstico de embarazo ectópico cervical fue realizado por ecografía transvaginal (7 y 8 semanas de gestación). Se inició tratamiento con metotrexato (paciente de 28 años) y metotrexato-ácido folínico (paciente de 35 años). Debido al aumento de la hormona gonadotropina coriónica humana se decidió realizar una histerectomía abdominal (paciente de 28 años) y curetaje-cerclaje cervical tipo McDonald (paciente de 35 años). No hubo complicaciones posteriores a la cirugía en ambas pacientes. Conclusiones: El tratamiento del embarazo ectópico cervical es controversial. Se debe elegir la terapia más apropiada para preservar la fertilidad y evitar complicaciones como la hemorragia.


Background. Cervical ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of the embryo in the lining of the endocervical canal lining. It represents less than 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. Case description: We report two patients who come to the emergency room for transvaginal bleeding. The diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy was made by transvaginal ultrasound (7- and 8-weeks' gestation). Treatment was started with methotrexate (28-year-old patient) and methotrexatefolinic acid (35-year-old patient). Due to the increase in human chorionic gonadotropin hormone, it was decided to perform an abdominal hysterectomy (28-year-old patient) and McDonald-type cervical curettagecerclage (35-year-old patient). There were no complications after surgery in both patients. Conclusions: The treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy is controversial. The most appropriate therapy should be chosen to preserve fertility and avoid complications such as bleeding.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La adaptación a la vida extrauterina de los recién nacidos es importante, especialmente en poblaciones de altura donde las características son diferentes a poblaciones a nivel del mar. Objetivos: Determinar la correlación entre saturación de oxígeno, frecuencia cardiaca y respiratoria durante los primeros 720 minutos de vida en recién nacidos a término a 3 400 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Métodos: Estudio observacional, prospectivo. Se incluyó a recién nacidos de parto eutócico a término del servicio de neonatología de un hospital de Cusco-Perú durante octubre y diciembre del 2016. Se evaluó la saturación de oxígeno, frecuencia cardiaca y respiratoria a los 5, 30, 120, 360, 480 y 720 minutos después del nacimiento. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y se calcularon las correlaciones entre las variables utilizando el coeficiente de Correlación de Pearson. Se consideró significativos los valores p<0,05. Resultados: La media de saturación de oxígeno, frecuencia cardiaca y frecuencia respiratoria fue estable a las dos horas. Se obtuvo una correlación significativa entre la frecuencia cardiaca y saturación de oxígeno a los 5, 30, 120, 360 y 720 minutos. La frecuencia respiratoria y saturación de oxígeno se correlacionó significativamente a los 5, 30, 480 y 720 minutos. Conclusiones: La correlación entre la saturación de oxígeno, frecuencia cardiaca y frecuencia respiratoria es adecuada en distintos periodos. Este estudio contribuye a conocer mejor la adaptación a la vida extrauterina del recién nacido en esta población de altura(AU)


Introduction: Newborns adaptation to extrauterine life is important, especially in high altitude populations where the characteristics are different from sea level populations. Objectives: To estimate the correlation between oxygen saturation, heart and respiratory frequency during the first 720 minutes of life in term newborns at 3 400 meters above sea level. Methods: An observational, prospective study was performed. Newborns from eutocic delivery at term that were born during October and December 2016 in the neonatology service at Cusco-Peru Hospital were included in the study. Oxygen saturation, heart frequency and respiratory frequency were assessed at 5, 30, 120, 360, 480 and 720 minutes after birth. A descriptive analysis was performed and the correlations among the variables were calculated using Pearson's correlation coefficient test. Values p <0.05 were considered significant. Results: Mean oxygen saturation, heart rate and respiratory rate were stable at two hours. A significant correlation was obtained between heart rate and oxygen saturation at 5, 30, 120, 360 and 720 minutes. Respiratory frequency and oxygen saturation correlated significantly at 5, 30, 480 and 720 minutes. Conclusions: Correlation between oxygen saturation, heart rate and respiratory rate are adequate in different periods. This study contributes to better understand the adaptation of newborns in these high altitude populations(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Diabetic foot is one of the main complications of diabetes mellitus; however, in hospitals of provinces from Perú, the relationship of this condition with hospital stay has not been calculated. Objective: To determine the association between hospitalization time and diabetic foot in three hospitals from Cusco, Perú. Methods: A cross-sectional study of secondary data analysis was conducted. We analyzed the data of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to the internal medicine service between January and December 2016, in three tertiary hospitals in Cusco, Peru. Correlation coefficients and p-values were calculated using generalized linear models, with Gaussian family and identity function, adjusted by intervening variables. Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Of the 153 patients, 14% (21) had a diabetic foot diagnosis, and their median age was 61 years (interquartile range 56 to 68). Those who had a diabetic foot had on average 20 hospitalization days. A strong association was found between a diabetic foot and the number of hospitalization days (17 days more, p = 0.003); adjusted by six variables. Those patients with a history of hypertension had more hospitalization days (10 days more, p = 0.011) and those admitted to a hospital of the Ministry of Health, had fewer hospitalization days (10 days less, p = 0.032). Conclusion: The group of patients with diabetic foot had a longer hospitalization time. The longer hospitalization time could be due to complications of the disease or difficulties in management.


Introducción: El pie diabético es una de las principales complicaciones de la diabetes mellitus. Sin embargo, en hospitales de provincias en Perú no se ha calculado la relación de este padecimiento con la estancia hospitalaria. Objetivos: Determinar la asociación entre el tiempo de hospitalización y el padecer pie diabético en tres hospitales de Cusco, Perú. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal analítico con estudio de datos secundarios. Se analizaron los datos de los pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 que ingresaron al servicio de medicina interna entre enero y diciembre del año 2016, en tres hospitales de tercer nivel de Cusco, Perú. Se calcularon los coeficientes de correlación y los valores p, mediante el uso de los modelos lineales generalizados, con familia Gaussian y función de enlace identity, ajustado por variables intervinientes. Se consideró estadísticamente significativos los valores p < 0,05. Resultados: De los 153 pacientes, 14% (21) tuvo un diagnóstico de pie diabético y su mediana de edad fue 61 años (rango intercuartílico de 56 a 68). Aquellos que tenían pie diabético tuvieron en promedio 20 días de hospitalización. Se encontró una fuerte asociación entre el padecer pie diabético y la cantidad de días de hospitalización (17 días más, p = 0,003); ajustado por seis variables. Aquellos pacientes con antecedente de hipertensión arterial tuvieron más días de hospitalización (10 días más, p = 0,011) y los que se internaron en un hospital del Ministerio de Salud tuvieron menor cantidad de días hospitalizados (10 días menos, p = 0,032). Conclusión: El grupo de pacientes con pie diabético tuvo un mayor tiempo de hospitalización. El mayor tiempo de hospitalización podría deberse a las complicaciones de la enfermedad o dificultades en el manejo.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of disrespect and abuse during childbirth and its associated factors in Peru. METHODS: In an observational cross-sectional study, women were surveyed within 48 hours of live delivery at 14 hospitals located in nine Peruvian cities between April and July 2016. The survey was based on seven categories of disrespect and abuse proposed by Bowser and Hill. To evaluate factors associated with each category, prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using adjusted Poisson models with robust variances. RESULTS: Among 1528 participants, 1488 (97.4%) had experienced at least one category of disrespect and abuse. Frequency of abandonment of care was increased with cesarean delivery (PR 1.27, 95% CI 1.03-1.57) but decreased in the jungle region (PR 0.27, 0.14-0.53). Discrimination was associated with the jungle region (PR 5.67, 2.32-13.88). Physical abuse was less frequent with cesarean than vaginal delivery (PR 0.23, 0.11-0.49). The prevalences of abandonment of care (PR 0.42, 0.29-0.60), non-consented care (PR 0.70, 0.57-0.85), discrimination (PR 0.40, 0.19-0.85), and non-confidential care (PR 0.71, 0.55-0.93) were decreased among women who had been referred. CONCLUSION: Nearly all participants reported having experienced at least one category of disrespect and abuse during childbirth care, which was associated with type of delivery, being referred, and geographic region.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mortality has increased in recent years. In Peru, there are few studies on in-hospital mortality due to type 2 diabetes in the provinces. OBJECTIVE: To determine factors associated to hospital mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 in three hospitals from Cusco-Peru. METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional study was performed. All patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 hospitalized in the city of Cusco during the 2016 were included. Socio-educational and clinical characteristics were evaluated, with "death" as the variable of interest. The crude (cPR) and adjusted (aPR) prevalence ratios were estimated using generalized linear models with Poisson family and log link function, with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The values p <0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS: A total of 153 patients were studied; 33.3% (51) died in the hospital. The mortality rate increased when the following factors were associated: age of the patients increased the mortality rate by one-year increments (aPR: 1.02; CI95%: 1.01-1.03; p<0.001); to have been admitted by the emergency service (aPR: 1.93; CI95%: 1.34-2.77; p<0.001); being a patient who is readmitted to the hospital (aPR: 2.01; CI95%: 1.36-2.98; p<0.001); and patients who have had a metabolic in-hospital complication (aPR: 1.61; CI95%: 1.07-2.43; p=0.024) or renal in-hospital complications (aPR: 1.47; CI95%: 1.30-1.67; p<0.001). Conversely, the mortality rate was reduced when admission was due to a urinary tract infection (aPR: 0.50; CI95%: 0.35-0.72; p<0.001); adjusted by seven variables. CONCLUSIONS: A third of hospitalized diabetes mellitus type 2 patients died during the study period. Mortality was increased as age rises, patients admitted through emergency rooms, patients who were readmitted to the hospital, and patients who had metabolic or renal complications. Patients admitted for a urinary tract infection had a lower mortality rate.


INTRODUCCIÓN: La mortalidad por diabetes se ha incrementado en los últimos años. En Perú, existen escasos estudios acerca de la mortalidad intrahospitalaria por diabetes en provincias. OBJETIVOS: Determinar los factores asociados a mortalidad intrahospitalaria en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en tres hospitales de la sierra sur del Perú. MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal analítico. Se incluyó a todos los pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 hospitalizados en la ciudad del Cusco durante el año 2016. Se evaluó las características socioeducativas y clínicas, teniendo a la “defunción” como variable de interés. Se calculó las razones de prevalencias crudas y ajustadas, mediante los modelos lineales generalizados, con familia Poisson y función de enlace log, con sus respectivos intervalos de confianza al 95%. Se consideró significativos los valores p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: De los 153 pacientes, el 33,3% (51) murió en la hospitalización. Incrementó la frecuencia de mortalidad: por cada año de edad del paciente (razón de prevalencias ajustada 1,02; intervalo de confianza 95%: 1,01 a 1,03; valor p < 0,001), por haber ingresado por el servicio de emergencia (razón de prevalencias ajustada 1,93; intervalo de confianza 95%: 1,34 a 2,77; valor p < 0,001), por ser un paciente que reingresa al hospital (razón de prevalencias ajustada 2,01; intervalo de confianza 95%: 1,36 a 2,98; valor p < 0,001) y por haber tenido una complicación hospitalaria metabólica (razón de prevalencias ajustada 1,61; intervalo de confianza 95%: 1,07 a 2,43; valor p = 0,024) o renal (razón de prevalencias ajustada 1,47; intervalo de confianza 95%: 1,30 a 1,67; valor p < 0,001). En cambio, disminuyó la frecuencia mortalidad el que su causa de hospitalización haya sido por una infección del tracto urinario (razón de prevalencia ajustada 0,50; intervalo de confianza 95%: 0,35 a 0,72; valor p < 0,001); ajustado por siete variables. CONCLUSIONES: La edad, el ingresar por emergencia y el presentar reingresos a la hospitalización fueron factores asociados a mortalidad; así como el presentar complicaciones intrahospitalarias de tipo metabólica o renal.
