Perfil epidemiológico del dolor secundario a neuropatía periférica moderada diabética / Epidemiological profile of pain secondary to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy

Antecedentes y objetivo: La neuropatía diabética es una complicación de la diabetes tipo 2. Afecta el entorno individual, familiar y social. El objetivo es identificar el perfil epidemiológico del dolor secundario a neuropatía periférica moderada diabética. Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal descriptivo del dolor utilizando como fuente de información el paciente con neuropatía periférica moderada secundaria a diabetes tipo 2. La severidad de la neuropatía periférica diabética fue establecida con la escala de Michigan. El tamaño de la muestra fue 145. El perfil epidemiológico del dolor evaluado con el cuestionario multidimensional de McGill, alfa de Cronbach de 0,88, evalúa la intensidad de dolor en tres categorías independientes (índice de valoración total -dimensión sensorial, afectiva y evolutiva-, intensidad total general e intensidad total actual) y al interior identifica las características específicas del dolor. El análisis estadístico incluyó promedios, desviación estándar, intervalo de confianza para promedios y porcentajes. Resultados: Índice de valoración total de dolor 9,74 ± 1,40 (IC 95 %; 9,51-9,97), dimensión sensorial 5,02 ± 0,84 (IC 95 %; 4,88-5,16), dimensión afectiva 3,75 ± 0,94 (IC 95 %; 3,59-3,90) y dimensión evolutiva 0,96 ± 0,18 (IC 95 %; 0,93-1,00). Las características de la valoración total de dolor identifican sacudida 35,2 %, ardiente/quemante 31,0 %, sofocante 40,0 %, agotador 33,1 %, deprimente 29,7 % y constante 35,2 %. Intensidad total general de dolor 7,70 ± 1,29 (IC 95 %; 7,49-7,91). Intensidad total actual 40,7 % "intenso". Conclusión: El perfil epidemiológico del dolor es de intensidad elevada, quemante, penetrante, tirante fijo o difuso, acompañado de picor generalmente constante, con repercusión emocional negativa, entre ellas sentimiento de ansiedad, secundario a dolor deprimente, agotador, sofocante y mortificante.(AU)

Background and objective: Diabetic neuropathy is a complication of type 2 diabetes, it´s present in 95 % of patients, affecting the individual, family and social environment. The objective is to identify the epidemiological profile of pain secondary to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study of pain using as a source of information the patient with moderate peripheral neuropathy secondary to type 2 diabetes. The severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy was established with the Michigan scale. The sample size was 145 patients. The epidemiological profile of pain evaluated with the McGill multidimensional questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha 0.88; it is assesses the intensity of pain in three independent categories (total pain assessment index [sensory, affective and evolutionary dimension], overall total intensity and current total intensity) and within each of them identifies the specific characteristics of pain. Statistical analysis included means, standard deviation, confidence interval for means, and percentages. Results: Total pain assessment index 9.74 ± 1.40 (95 % CI; 9.51-9.97), sensory dimension 5.02 ± 0.84 (95 % CI; 4.88-5.16), affective dimension 3.75 ± 0.94 (95 % CI; 3.59-3.90), and evolutionary dimension 0.96 ± 0.18 (95 % CI; 0.93-1.00). Specific characteristics of the total pain assessment Index identify shaking 35.2 %, burning 31.0 %, suffocating 40.0 %, exhausting 33.1 %, depressing 29.7 % and constant 35.2 %. Total general intensity of pain 7.70 ± 1.29 (95 % CI;7.49-7.91). Current total intensity 40.7 % "intense". Conclusion: The epidemiological profile of pain is of high intensity, burning, penetrating, fixed or diffuse, accompanied by generally constant itching, with negative emotional repercussions, including feelings of anxiety, secondary to depressing, exhausting, suffocating and mortifying pain.(AU)

[Cost of family planning care in 10-19 years old teenagers]. / Costo de atención por servicios de planificación familiar a adolescentes de 10-19 años.

Objetives: To identify the costs of family planning care in adolescents. Material and methods: Longitudinal study of the cost of care for family planning carried out in 2015 in a group of individuals with age limits of 10 and 19 years in a unit first level of health care in the state of Queretaro, Mexico. The profile of use of family planning (FP) was created for the teen was performed services through counseling, provision of contraception and review of intrauterine device (IUD) in a year; cost projections for the population of adolescents and different coverage scenarios between 5 and 100% were made. Results: The average annual cost was 228.84 Mexican pesos. Ideally the identified cost was 2,708.94 pesos. The projection with 20 % coverage was 207,251,330 pesos. The average annual family planning consultations was 0.9. The most commonly used method was with medroxyprogesterone-estradiol at doses of 25 and 5 mg. Conclusion: The cost of planning in adolescents is low, taking into account the costs that the care of high-risk pregnancies and associated comorbidities.
