ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The DAPA-CKD study showed that dapagliflozin added to standard treatment reduced the risk of chronic kidney disease progression, and death from renal or cardiovascular causes compared to placebo. OBJECTIVE: Assess the cost-effectiveness of dapagliflozin and standard treatment versus standard treatment alone for chronic kidney disease within the Colombian health system. METHODS: We employed a Markov model based on the DAPA-CKD study, tailored to the Colombian scenario. The model forecasted hospitalizations for heart failure, overall and cardiovascular mortality, and chronic kidney disease progression over a 10-year horizon with a 5% discount rate. RESULTS: Dapagliflozin combined with standard treatment is a cost-effective intervention in treating stage 2-4 CKD. In the base case, the ICER was US $5,366, below 1 GDP (US $6.558) per capita. This was consistent in the sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that dapagliflozin, when combined with standard treatment, is cost-effective against standard treatment alone, aligning with Colombia's willingness-to-pay threshold.

ABSTRACT

El donar órganos, se considera un acto voluntario, altruista y gratuito, por el cual una persona o el representante de su familia deciden "donar" sus órganos, para que sean extraídos del cuerpo e implantados en otra persona que lo necesite. Sin embargo, existen varios factores que afectan de manera negativa o positiva al momento de tomar una decisión frente a la donación de órganos, teniendo un rol fundamental la estrategia de difusión utilizada para difundir información a la comunidad respecto a la donación de órganos. El objetivo de esta revisión de literatura, fue conocer las estrategias utilizadas en programas y/o intervenciones en Salud sobre la donación de órganos. Se realizó una Revisión bibliográfica Narrativa utilizando las bases de datos PubMed y Google Académico, siendo seleccionados los artículos para análisis de acuerdo al cumplimiento de criterio de inclusión y exclusión en los últimos 5 años. El 44% de los programas de donación de órganos utilizó la página Web como estrategia de difusión, el 39% utilizó educación en aulas y el 33% utilizó videos educativos, capacitación de personal de salud y uso de folletos. Las estrategias implementadas para la difusión de información más usadas y efectivas son la educación en aulas y el uso de Web.


Organ donation is considered a voluntary, altruistic, and free act by which a person or the representative of the family decided to "donate" their organs to be removed from the body and implanted in another person in need. However, there are several factors that negatively or positively affect the decision to donate organs. This literature review's objective was to know the strategies used in health programs and organ donation interventions. A Narrative Literature Review was carried out using PubMed and Google Scholar databases, selecting articles for analysis according to the fulfillment of inclusion and exclusion criteria in the last 5 years. The most used strategies were the use of web pages (44%) and the implementation of face-to-face education (39%). 44% of the organ donation programs used the Web page as a dissemination strategy, 39% used classroom education, and 33% used educational videos, training of health personnel, use of brochures. The most used and effective methods were classroom education and the use of the Web.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Las complicaciones cardiovasculares mayores en el postoperatorio son frecuentes y el principal factor contribuyente es la injuria miocárdica o infarto (MINS, Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery) asociado a cirugía no cardíaca. El riesgo de mortalidad a 30 días de los pacientes con injuria miocárdica es 4-5 veces mayor que los pacientes que no lo presentan. Se estima que 85% de los pacientes con MINS no presentan síntomas, por lo que la única manera de detectarlos es mediante screening sistemático de troponinas. Si bien no existen intervenciones de aplicación sistemática que permitan prevenir esta complicación, existen alternativas de tratamiento y manejo, por lo que la pesquisa activa es costo-efectiva y relevante desde el punto de visto clínico.


Major cardiovascular complications in the postoperative period are frequent and the main contributing factor is myocardial injury or infarction (MINS, Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery) associated with non-cardiac surgery. The 30-day mortality risk in patients with myocardial injury is 4-5 times higher than in patients without this complication. It is estimated that 85% of patients with MINS/infarction are asymptomatic, hence the only way to detect them is through systematic screening of troponins. Although there are no systematic interventions to prevent this complication, there are treatment and management alternatives, so the active early diagnosis is cost effective and relevant from a clinical point of view.

ABSTRACT

Traumatic spondyloptosis is a serious injury usually caused by high-energy trauma; It consists of the anterior or posterior dislocation of 100% or more of the underlying vertebral body, which can become a total injury of the spinal cord, producing a neurological deficit; this type of injury represents stage 4 and 5 of Allen-Ferguson. Clinical case: A 50-year-old man who suffers a car accident, he receive frontal impact when he was a driver, colliding with the retaining wall, referred from another hospital to emergency room, managed with C7 hemicorpectomy, c7-t1 discectomy, spondylodesis with anterior plate (C6-T1), and posterior approach + Fascetectomies of C7-T1, facet joint screws C6 and transpedicular fixation of T1. Discussion: Subaxial cervical spondyloptosis is relatively rare clinical entity, a complete clinical examination is important in diagnosis, taking in considerations the injury mechanism. For treatment we have a multiple options, at this case anterior-posterior (360 degrees) treatment it was the better option for Us; however, must be personalized and consider the early rehabilitation of patient.


La espondiloptosis traumática es una lesión muy rara y grave generalmente causada por traumatismos de alta energía. Consiste en la dislocación anterior o posterior de 100% o más al cuerpo vertebral subyacente, lo que puede generar compresión y lesión total de la médula espinal, produciendo déficit neurológico; este tipo de lesión representa la etapa 4 y 5 de Allen. Caso clínico: Masculino de 50 años quien sufre accidente automovilístico al colisionar contra muro de contención, generándose lesión de tipo hiperextensión-compresión cervicotorácica, manejado con hemicorpectomía C7, discectomía C7-T1, espondilodesis con placa anterior (C6-C7, C7-T1), toma y aplicación de injerto, abordaje posterior + fascetectomías de C7 + fijación transfacetaria C6 y transpedicular de T1. Discusión: Encontramos que la estabilización temprana con pinza de Gardner más el abordaje anterior y posterior brindan adecuados resultados en cuanto a integridad sensitiva y motora del paciente así como una pronta rehabilitación.

ABSTRACT

Physical exercise is useful in people who underwent bariatric surgery. However, the right dosage is still a topic for discussion. The aim of this article is to consolidate the prescription criteria for physical activity and exercise in bariatric patients. A panel of experts to whom the topics were previously assigned for review, met to reach a consensus. Each topic was presented and subjected to discussion and voting by the participants and attendants who were exercise professionals from different obesity treatment centers. We report the conclusions reached for aerobic exercise, strength training, protein supplementation and physical activity for weight maintenance in bariatric patients.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease described in case series and publications worldwide. Over the past twenty years, the authors of different studies have attempted to evaluate its incidence and prevalence. The objetive of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis in a group of children seen at 36 pediatric gastroenterology centers in ten Latin American countries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multicenter, observational, and cross-sectional study was conducted that estimated the period prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis in children seen at outpatient consultation and that underwent diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for any indication at 36 centers in 10 Latin American countries, within a 3-month time frame. RESULTS: Between April and June 2016, 108 cases of eosinophilic esophagitis were evaluated. Likewise, an average of 29,253 outpatient consultations and 4,152 diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopies were carried out at the 36 participating centers. The period prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis in the population studied (n=29,253) was 3.69 cases×1,000 (95% CI: 3.04 to 4.44), and among the children that underwent routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (n=4,152), it was 26x1,000 (95% CI: 22.6 to 29.4). CONCLUSIONS: The general period prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis in a group of children evaluated at 36 Latin American pediatric gastroenterology centers was 3.69×1,000, and in the children that underwent endoscopy, it was 26×1,000. There was important prevalence variability between the participating countries and centers. The present analysis is the first study conducted on the prevalence of pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis in Latin America.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el carcinoma espinocelular cutáneo de alto riesgo, se define como aquel que tiene un riesgo de recidiva y metástasis ganglionares y/o a distancia mayor del 5%, debido a ello, es preponderante el conocimiento de los factores que lo convierten en un tumor de alto riesgo, para lograr su identificación y de este modo, realizar el tratamiento y seguimiento adecuados. Objetivos: estimar la prevalencia del carcinoma espinocelular cutáneo de pacientes, que acuden a la consulta externa del Hospital Privado Universitario de Córdoba y del Hospital Raúl Ferreyra, en el período de Julio 2014 a Diciembre de 2015. Calcular la prevalencia del carcinoma espinocelular invasivo, además de describir las características epidemiológicas, clínicas e histopatológicas de alto riesgo de los CEC invasivos. Determinar el porcentaje de pacientes con CEC de alto riesgo, según la clasificación de la American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). Determinar el porcentaje de CEC de alto riesgo, según la clasificación propuesta por la National Comprenhensive Cancer Network (NCCN). Comparar los porcentajes de pacientes con CEC invasivo de alto riesgo, que se obtuvieron mediante la aplicación de los sistemas de evaluación actuales AJCC y NCCN. Materiales y Métodos: se realizó un estudio retrospectivo descriptivo, con recolección directa de información del reporte de histopatología, incluido en la base de datos del archivo de Patología del Hospital Privado Universitario de Córdoba, con posterior revisión de las historias clínicas de cada uno de los pacientes incluidos y se completó una ficha diseñada a tal efecto. Con los datos obtenidos se completaron planillas de excel; los factores clínicos tomados en cuenta incluyeron: sexo, edad al momento del diagnóstico, historia de inmunosupresión, sitios de inflamación crónica, localización, tamaño del tumor y dentro de las características histopatológicas, se incluyeron: variantes histológicas, diferenciación, Breslow, Clark e invasión perineural. Los datos obtenidos se sometieron a cada una de las clasificaciones: AJCC 2010 y de la NCCN 2013. Resultados: la prevalencia del carcinoma espinocelular en nuestra población fue de 0,24% y la del CEC invasivo respecto del CEC cutáneo, del 59%. En nuestra población de 78 pacientes el 100% eran argentinos de raza caucásica, encontramos que la mediana de edad fue de 75,5 años; el rango de pacientes entre 61 y 90 años fueron los más afectados incluyendo el 80,7% de los mismos. Respecto del sexo la mayoría de los pacientes fueron hombres 49 (63%) y las localizaciones más afectadas fueron: cabeza y cuello con 57(68%). En nuestra cohorte, se obtuvieron 34(40%) de tumores, que según los criterios de clasificación AJCC se denominarían como: T2 (de alto riesgo) mientras que la mayoría 74 (88%) son de "alto riesgo" de acuerdo con las guías de la NCCN. Conclusiones: en resultados respondimos a los objetivos propuestos, sobre prevalencia del carcinoma espinocelular y carcinoma espinocelular de alto riesgo (CEAR) en nuestra población y las características epidemiológicas de nuestra serie. Al comparar los sistemas de clasificación de la AJCC y la NCCN y someter nuestra serie a éstos, según la AJCC: 34 pacientes (40%) corresponden a CECAR en tanto que por la NCCN a 74 pacientes (88%). Se realizó el cálculo del índice kappa 0,47, con un grado de acuerdo entre ambas clasificaciones del 73% (moderado). Podemos al analizar la tabla inferir que todos los tumores que fueron de bajo riesgo para NCCN, lo fueron también para AJCC y todos los tumores que fueron de alto riesgo para AJCC también para NCCN. El propósito del sistema de estadificación AJCC es distinto a las guías de tratamiento de la NCCN. El objetivo del sistema de estadificación del AJCC es estratificar a los pacientes con similares resultados en grupos, para ofrecer estimaciones precisas de pronóstico, mientras que las guías de la NCCN se destinan a dirigir el manejo, tratamiento y seguimiento del CEC. Por lo tanto, cada una tiene sus objetivos definidos y debe ser empleada de acuerdo con el uso que pretendamos darle.


Introduction: high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is defined as one that has a risk of recurrence and lymph node metastasis and / or distance greater than 5%, due to this, it is preponderant knowledge of the factors that make it a high tumor risk, to achieve their identification and thus carry out the appropriate treatment and follow-up. Objectives: to estimate the prevalence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSC) in patients attending the outpatient clinic of the Hospital Privado Universitario de Córdoba and Hospital Raúl Ferreyra in Córdoba, Argentina from July 2014 to December 2015. To calculate the prevalence of invasive squamous cell carcinoma; to describe the epidemiological, clinical and histopathological characteristics of high risk of invasive SCC; to determine the percentage of patients with high-risk CSC according to the AJCC classification. Determine the percentage of high-risk CSC according to the classification proposed by the NCCN and to compare the percentages of patients with invasive high-risk CSC, which were obtained by applying the current AJCC and NCCN assessment systems. Materials and Methods: we performed a retrospective descriptive study with direct collection of information from the histopathology report, included in the database of the pathology file of the Hospital Universitario de Córdoba, with subsequent review of clinical records of each of the patients included and a token designed for this purpose was completed. With the data obtained excel sheets were completed; Breslow, Clark and others were included in the study, including: sex, age at diagnosis, history of immunosuppression, sites of chronic inflammation, And perineural invasion. The data obtained were submitted to each of the classifications: AJCC 2010, and NCCN 2013. Results: the prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma in our population was 0.24%, and the prevalence of invasive CEC with respect to cutaneous ECC is of 59%. In our population of 78 patients 100% were caucasian argentines, we found that the median age was 75,5 years, the range of patients between 61 and 90 years were the most affected including 80.7 % from the patients. Regarding sex, most of the patients were men 49 (63%), and the most affected location was head and neck with 57 (68%). In our cohort, we obtained 34 (40%) tumors that were classified as T2 (high risk) according to the AJCC criteria, while the majority (74%) were "high risk" according to the guidelines of the NCCN. Conclusions: the purpose of the AJCC staging system is different from the NCCN treatment guidelines. The purpose of the AJCC staging system is to stratify patients with similar group scores to provide accurate prognostic estimates, while the NCCN guidelines are intended to guide the management, treatment, and follow-up of CSC. Therefore, that each one has its defined objectives, and must be used according to the use that we intend to give it.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: A survey was conducted in order to obtain a profile of the practice of regional anesthesia in South America, and determine the limitations of its use. METHODS: After institutional ethics committee approval, a link to an online questionnaire was sent by e-mail to anaesthesiologists in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, and Uruguay. The questionnaire was processed anonymously. RESULTS: A total of 1,260 completed questionnaires were received. The results showed that 97.6% of the anaesthesiologists that responded used regional anaesthesia in clinical practice, 66.9% performed peripheral nerve block (PNB) regularly, 21.6% used continuous PNB techniques, and 4.6% used stimulating catheters. The primary source of training was residency programs. As regards PNB, the most common performed were interscalene (52.3%), axillary (45.1%), femoral (43.2%), and ankle block (43%). As regards the localisation technique employed, 16% used paraesthesia, 44.2% used a peripheral nerve stimulator, and 18.1% ultrasound guidance. CONCLUSIONS: Regional anaesthesia and PNB are commonly used among South American anaesthesiologists. Considering that each country has its own profile for use, this profile should guide training in clinical practice, especially in residency programs.

ABSTRACT

Los leiomiosarcomas cutáneos son neoplasias malignas, originadas en el músculo liso, infrecuentes, tanto en las formas primarias como en el caso de las secundarias o metastásicas. Existen pocos casos publicados en la literatura. Presentamos el caso de un leiomiosarcoma cutáneo primario, en un hombre de 76 años de edad y realizamos una revisión de sus características clínicas y diagnóstico, así como, de las diferencias pronóstico-evolutivas según las distintas localizaciones de esta afección. Por último, debe señalarse que el tratamiento es fundamentalmente quirúrgico, con escisión y márgenes de seguridad, ya que, no existe una respuesta satisfactoria o significativa al tratamiento radiante y/o quimioterápico, siendo imprescindible efectuar un control evolutivo periódico de los pacientes, debido a la tasa de recurrencia local y la posibilidad de ocasionar metástasis, según la localización histológica del tumor.


Leiomyosarcomas located in superficial soft tissue are very rare or uncommon malignant neoplasms, both as primary tumors and as secondary or metastatic lesions. We present the case of a primary cutaneous leiomyosarcoma in a 76-year-old man, reviewing the clinical and diagnostic features, as well as the different prognoses depending on the site at this level. Treatment is basically surgical, involving excision with wide margins since the response to radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is not satisfactory or significant. Given the high rate of local recurrence and the possibility of metastasis, depending on the histological location of the tumor, periodic follow-up of the patients is essential and indispensable.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: determinar el significado social atribuido a los senos y su influencia en el autocuidado en un grupo de jóvenes de la Universidad del Magdalena. Metodología: se usó una metodología cualitativa y se recogió la información a través de una entrevista semiestructurada; fueron entrevistadas 31 estudiantes y, finalmente, para este reporte, se seleccionó una muestra representativa, de 18 estudiantes. Resultados: se identificaron tres categorías de estudio: significado de los senos, cuidados de los senos y aceptación de los mismos. Algunas manifiestan, dentro de los cuidados, el autoexamen de mamas, aunque no tienen claro en qué etapa del ciclo realizarlo. Se encontró similitud con lo descrito en otros estudios en cuanto a que las mujeres coinciden en afirmar que los senos son parte fundamental en la condición de ser mujer porque los vinculan con significados como fertilidad, nutrición, relación entre madre e hijo y atractivo sexual. Conclusiones: los senos femeninos han sido considerados como sinónimo de belleza, erotismo, sexualidad, reproducción y afectividad, por lo que su deformación o pérdida es equivalente a la pérdida de la atracción sexual, de la feminidad, o de ambos. Esta situación acarrea cambios en la imagen corporal, disminución de la autoestima y sentimientos de inseguridad, depresión y ansiedad. Las mujeres entrevistadas perciben los senos como característica particular y representativa de su feminidad y sienten miedo cuando piensan que, si por algún motivo, les llegaran a faltar, no serían las mismas personas, se sentirían incompletas, tristes, bajaría su autoestima y limitarían la exposición de esta parte del cuerpo.


Objective: To determine the social meaning attributed to breasts and its influence on self-care in a group of young women at Magdalena University. Methods: A qualitative methodology was used and information was collected through a structured interview. Thirty-one students were interviewed and a final sample of 18 representative individuals was selected for this report. Results: Three study categories were identified: meaning of breasts, breast care, and acceptance of them. Regarding care, some manifested they performed the self-breast exam, even though they were unsure when during the menstrual cycle to perform it. There was similarity with other studies in that women concluded that breasts are a fundamental part of the condition of being a woman, as they are linked to issues such as fertility, nutrition, the mother-child bond, and sexual attraction. Conclusions: Female breasts have been considered a symbol of beauty, eroticism, sexuality, reproduction, and affectivity; thus, breast deformity or loss thereof is perceived as a loss of sexual attraction, femininity, or both. This issue often leads to changes in body image, lower self-esteem, feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and depression. The women interviewed perceived their breasts as being a particular and representative characteristic of their femininity and were afraid to think that if for some reason they were to lose either of their breasts, they would not be the same, and would feel incomplete, sad, have a lower self-esteem, and limit exposure of this body part.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To study the evolution of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), considering glucose and HbA1c levels and risk factors associated, in a period of 6 years. METHODS: We studied 94 subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) that were diagnosed in 2005 and followed up to 2012. Glucose and HbA1c levels were determined. A descriptive analysis of contingence charts was performed in order to study the evolution in the development of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). RESULTS: Twenty-eight of ninety-four subjects became T2DM; 51/94 remained with IFG; and 20/94 presented normal fasting glucose. From the 28 diabetic subjects, 9 had already developed diabetes and were under treatment with oral hypoglycemic agents; 5 were diagnosed with plasma glucose < 126 mg/dL, but with HbA1c over 6.5%. In those who developed diabetes, 15/28 had a family history of T2DM in first relative degree. Also, diabetic subjects had a BMI significantly higher than nodiabetics (t test: P < 0.01). The individuals that in 2005 had the highest BMI are those who currently have diabetes. CONCLUSION: The IFG constitutes a condition of high risk of developing T2DM in a few years, especially over 110 mg/dL and in obesity patients.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a chronic respiratory disease that is established as a consequence of a lung infection produced by adenovirus. The clinical and radiological evidence as well as spirometric variables are the cornerstones of diagnosis; however, the functional impact of lung damage, assessed through the six minute walking test (6MWT), has been scarcely studied in this group of patients, notwithstanding it has been recommended in the Chilean guidelines. The aim of the study is to evaluate the correlation between spirometric variables and 6MWT performance in patients diagnosed with BO. Patients and Methods: Correlation study conducted in pediatric pulmonary rehabilitation program of Guillermo Grant Benavente Hospital from Concepción. Chile. Records of spirometry (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and FEF25-75) and 6MWT(Distance walked (DW), heart rate, oxygen saturation, dyspnea and leg fatigue) of 22 children and adolescents diagnosed with BO were selected. The absolute values of spirometric and 6MWT variables were compared with reference values of Knudson et al and Gatica et al respectively. Results are expressed by median and range (maximum and minimum). In the statistical analysis, normality test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov), non-parametric test (Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney) and correlation analysis (Rho-Spearman) were done by SPSS 11.5 with significance of p < 0.05. Results: The spirometry was obstructive in all patients, advanced ventilatory limitation was found in 9 children, moderate in 4, mild in 3 and minimum in 6. The WD was 597 m (750-398), 9% below the predicted value according to age (p < 0.003). The WD was lower in those with greater severity in spirometric impairment (p = 0.012). The WD expressed as a percentage of predicted value showed a significant correlation with % FEV1 (r = 0.70, p = 0.0001), FEV1/FVC ratio (r = 0.58, p = 0.004) and FEF25-75% (r = 0.70, p = 0.0001). On the other hand only saturation at the end of 6MWT showed significant correlation with % FVC (r = 0.44, p = 0.04). Conclusion: Performance during the 6MWT was positively correlated with spirometry, validating the 6MWT as a tool to assess the functional impact of lung damage in patients with BO. Future prospective studies are needed to evaluate the correlation between lung function and exercise tolerance in these patients.


Introducción: La bronquiolitis obliterante (BO) post infecciosa es una enfermedad respiratoria crónica que se establece como secuela de una infección pulmonar principalmente por adenovirus. La evidencia clínica, espirométrica y radiológica son los pilares del diagnóstico, sin embargo, pese a estar sugerido en las actuales guías nacionales, la repercusión funcional del daño pulmonar a través del test de caminata de seis minutos (C6M) ha sido escasamente estudiado en este grupo de pacientes. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la correlación entre variables espirométricas y resultado del C6M en una muestra de pacientes con BO. Pacientes y Métodos: Estudio correlacional donde fueron seleccionados los registros de espirometría (VEF1, CVF, VEF1/CVF y FEF25-75) y de C6M (Distancia caminada (DC), frecuencia cardíaca, saturación de oxígeno, disnea y fatiga de piernas) de 22 niños y adolescentes con diagnóstico de BO ingresados al programa de rehabilitación respiratoria infantil del Hospital Dr. Guillermo Grant Benavente de Concepción. Los valores absolutos de las variables espirométricas y C6M se compararon con valores predichos de Knudson y Gatica respectivamente. En el análisis estadístico se realizaron pruebas de normalidad (Kolmogorov-Smirnov), de contraste (Wilcoxon y Mann-Whitney) y análisis de correlación (Rho-Spearman). Los resultados se expresan en mediana, rango máximo y mínimo. Se consideró significativo p < 0,05. Resultados: En la espirometría se encontró alteración ventilatoria obstructiva de grado avanzado en 9, moderada en 4, leve en 6 y mínima en 3 niños. La DC fue de 597 m (750-398), 9% por debajo del valor predicho para la edad (p < 0,003). La DC fue menor en aquellos con mayor grado severidad en la alteración espirométrica (p = 0,012). La DC expresada en porcentaje del valor predicho mostró una correlación significativa con % VEF1 (r = 0,70;p = 0,0001), índice VEF1/CVF (r = 0,58;p = 0,004) y % FEF25-75 (r = 0,70;p = 0,0001). Sólo la saturación al final del C6M se correlacionó significativamente con % CVF (r = 0,44; p = 0,04). Conclusión: El rendimiento durante el C6Mse correlacionó con espirometría, validando al C6M como herramienta para valorar la repercusión funcional del daño pulmonar en pacientes con BO. Futuros estudios son necesarios para confirmar esta correlación.

ABSTRACT

La displasia renal multiquística unilateral (DRMU) es la enfermedad quística renal más frecuente en pediatría. En estos pacientes, la función renal depende exclusivamente del riñón único funcionante contralateral. El objetivo de este trabajo retrospectivo fue determinar la prevalencia y tipo de anomalías nefro-urológicas en el riñón contralateral funcionante de 103 pacientes con DRMU atendidos en el Hospital Nacional de Pediatría Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan entre 1995-2008. Se analizaron sólo aquellos niños que tenían ecografía renal y vesical, cistouretrografía miccional (CUGM) y centellograma renal con ácido dimercaptosuccínico (DMSA-Tc99m). Por ecografía se encontraron anomalías en el riñón contralateral funcionante en el 18.5%. Las más frecuentes fueron dilatación de la vía urinaria (6.8%) y aumento de la ecogenicidad (6.8%). La CUGM detectó la presencia de reflujo vesicoureteral en el riñón contralateral en 11 niños (10.7%), la mayoría leve a moderado. El centellograma renal con DMSA-Tc99m demostró escaras en 12 niños (11.6%). Los resultados muestran que el 23.3% de los pacientes con DRMU tienen alguna anomalía nefro-urológica en el riñón único funcionante contralateral.
