RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Maintenance rates of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) worldwide are low, thus, one of the objectives of the summary of policies on breastfeeding (BF) in world nutrition goals for 2025 are that at least 50% of infants under six months of age receive EBF that year. The Objective of this study is to document the rates of EBF in children born in San Ignacio University Hospital (HUSI) and identify factors associated with maintenance. AIM: To document the percentages of EBF in those that were born at HUSI and identify factors associated to their maintenance. METHODS: This is a study of cases and controls in an analytic, retrospective cohort that took children born alive between January 2016 and January 2019 at HUSI located in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. RESULTS: Receiving information about BF at HUSI was able to maintain EBF up until 4 mo (OR = 1.65; 95%CI: 1.02-2.66). The presence of gynecologic and obstetric comorbidities (OR = 0.32; 95%CI: 0.12-0.83), having mastitis (OR = 0.56; 95%CI: 0.33-0.94), and receiving information from mass media (OR = 0.52; 95%CI: 0.31-0.84) are factors associated with not maintaining EBF. CONCLUSION: Receiving education at a Women- and Child-Friendly Institution was the only significant factor to achieve EBF until 4 mo, with a frequency greater than the one reported in the country, which matches multiple studies where counseling and individualized support on BF achieve this purpose. Knowledge about BF and early detection of obstetric/gynecologic complications must be strengthened among the healthcare staff in charge of mothers during post-partum. Additionally, strategies must be promoted to continue BF such as creating milk banks with the objective of increasing BF rates even when mothers return to work.
RESUMEN
La miositis viral aguda es una complicación posterior a una infección viral causada, principalmente, por virus influenza A y B. Se caracteriza por ser un proceso inflamatorio transitorio, súbito, autolimitado y benigno. Generalmente, afecta a niños preescolares y escolares, que presentan dolor bilateral y sensibilidad en los grupos musculares de los miembros inferiores sin alteración en el examen neurológico. Puede generar alteración de la marcha o de la bipedestación. Su principal complicación es la rabdomiólisis, por lo que se debe hacer un seguimiento clínico y de los valores de la creatinfosfoquinasa. Se presenta el caso de un niño en edad escolar con diagnóstico de miositis viral aguda. Debido a que es poco frecuente y su incidencia en Latinoamérica es desconocida, se considera importante el reporte del caso y la revisión del tema, ya que su curso es benigno, de fácil manejo, y su conocimiento evita estudios y hospitalizaciones innecesarias.
Acute viral myositis is a complication after a viral infection mainly caused by Influenza A and B viruses. It is characterized as a transitory, sudden, self-limiting and benign inflammatory process. It usually affects preschool and school children presenting bilateral pain and sensitivity in the muscle groups of the lower limbs without alteration in the neurological examination. It can affect the gait or standing. The main complication is rhabdomyolysis, which is why clinical followup and values of creatine phosphokinase must be done. We present the case of a school-age child diagnosed with acute viral myositis. Because it is not a frequent entity and its incidence in Latin America is unknown, we consider important to report the case and review the topic, as its clinical course is benign, easily treated, and its knowledge can avoid unnecessary studies and hospitalizations.
