RESUMO

Anemia and stunting are two health problems in the child population; therefore, their concurrence needs to be quantified. We estimated the prevalence of concurrent anemia and stunting (CAS) in children aged 6-59 months and identified the factors associated with this condition. The data came from the Demographic and Health Survey of Peru (DHS), 2022. The study design was cross-sectional and included 19,191 children. Height and hemoglobin measurement followed the specifications of National Health Institute of Peru. To reduce error in measures, the anthropometry personnel was training, the quality of measuring equipment was ensuring, and protocolized techniques and procedures was applying. Hemoglobin concentration was measured in capillary blood using the Hemocue model Hb 201+. Stunting was defined as a height-for-age Z-score less than minus two standard deviations (SD) from the median, following the 2006 WHO child growth standard. Anemia was classified into mild (10.0 to 10.9 g/dL), moderate (7.0 to 9.9 g/dL), severe (< 7.0 g/dL), and no anemia (11.0 to 14.0 g/dL). We performed a bivariate analysis to evaluate factors associated with CAS. To include variables in the multivariate analysis, we applied a statistical criterion (p < 0.10 in the crude analysis) and an epidemiological criterion. We used a binary logistic hierarchical regression model. The prevalence of CAS was 5.6% (95%CI: 5.2 to 5.9). The modifiable factors associated with higher odds of CAS were: "poorest" (aOR: 3.87, 95%CI: 1.99 to 7.5) and "poorer" (aOR: 2.07, 95%CI: 1.08 to 3.98) wealth quintiles, mother with no formal education or primary (aOR: 2.03, 95%CI: 1.46 to 2. 81), father with no formal education or primary (aOR: 1.55, 95%CI: 1.16 to 2.07), no improved water source (aOR: 1.36, 95%CI: 1.10 to 1.68), no roof with improved material (aOR: 1.49, 95%CI: 1.12 to 1.98) and low birth weight (aOR: 7.31, 95%CI: 4.26 to 12.54). In Peru, five out of every 100 children suffer from anemia and stunting simultaneously; there are modifiable factors that, if addressed, could reduce their prevalence.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of chronic neck pain (CNP) among the adult population in Peru during the post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) restriction period compared with that during the pre-pandemic period and evaluate its association with prolonged digital devices connected to the internet (DDCI) screen viewing. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a representative sample of adults living in Peru in November 2022. A structured survey was employed to identify CNP, and the exposure variable was set as the duration of DDCI screen viewing. The McNemar test was used to compare CNP prevalence pre- and post-COVID-19 restrictions, and ordinal logistic regression was used to evaluate its association with prolonged screen viewing. RESULTS: A total of 1,202 individuals participated, with 52.8% females and 79.9% residing in urban areas. Following the restrictions, the prevalence of CNP occurring daily or almost daily and at least once a week was 14.8% and 27.8%, respectively (95% confidence Interval [95% CI], 12.6-17.3 and 24.9-30.9), representing a significant increase (p<0.001) compared with pre-pandemic estimates. Notably, among those viewing DDCI screens for ≥8 hours, the odds ratio for CNP frequency escalation compared with those who did not or rarely view screens was 1.61 (95% CI, 1.04-2.50; p=0.033). CONCLUSION: Approximately 4 of 10 adults in Peru experienced CNP following the lifting of COVID-19 social restrictions, more than double the pre-pandemic prevalence. Furthermore, prolonged viewing of DDCI screens increased the risk of having this condition.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have shown a favorable effect on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, their efficacy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with or without T2DM has not yet been analyzed. OBJECTIVE: To assess the cardiovascular and renal effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with CKD with and without T2DM, including all CKD patients in the current literature. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL and Scopus for randomized controlled trials of SGLT-2 inhibitors that evaluated cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in patients with CKD, or trials in which these patients were a subgroup. We defined 2 primary outcomes: a composite of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure, and a composite renal outcome. For each outcome, we obtained overall hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals by using a random effects model. RESULTS: We included 14 randomized controlled trials. SGLT-2 inhibitors decreased the hazard for the primary cardiovascular outcome (HR 0.76; [95% CI 0.72-0.79]) and the primary renal outcome (HR 0.69; [95% CI 0.61-0.79]) in patients with CKD with or without T2DM. We did not find significant differences in the subgroup analyses according to diabetes status, baseline eGFR values or the type of SGLT-2 inhibitor used. CONCLUSION: In patients with CKD, treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors in addition to standard therapy conferred protection against cardiovascular and renal outcomes. Further research on patients with non-diabetic CKD should be done to confirm the utility of these medications in this population. (PROSPERO ID: CRD42021275012).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In ARDS caused by COVID-19 pneumonia, appropriate adjustment of physiologic parameters based on lung stretch or oxygenation may optimize the ventilatory strategy. This study aims to describe the prognostic performance on 60-d mortality of single and composite respiratory variables in subjects with COVID-19 ARDS who are on mechanical ventilation with a lung-protective strategy, including the oxygenation stretch index combining oxygenation and driving pressure (ΔP). METHODS: This single-center observational cohort study enrolled 166 subjects on mechanical ventilation and diagnosed with COVID-19 ARDS. We evaluated their clinical and physiologic characteristics. The primary study outcome was 60-d mortality. Prognostic factors were evaluated through receiver operating characteristic analysis, Cox proportional hazards regression model, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves. RESULTS: Mortality at day 60 was 18.1%, and hospital mortality was 22.9%. Oxygenation, ΔP, and composite variables were tested: oxygenation stretch index ([Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] divided by ΔP) and ΔP × 4 + breathing frequency (f) (ΔP × 4 + f). At both day 1 and day 2 after inclusion, the oxygenation stretch index had the best area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (oxygenation stretch index on day 1 0.76 (95% CI 0.67-0.84) and on day 2 0.83 (95% CI 0.76-0.91) to predict 60-d mortality, although without significant difference from other indexes. In multivariable Cox regression, ΔP, [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text], ΔP × 4 + f, and oxygenation stretch index were all associated with 60-d mortality. When dichotomizing the variables, ΔP ≥ 14, [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] ≤ 152 mm Hg, ΔP × 4 + f ≥ 80, and oxygenation stretch index < 7.7 showed lower 60-d survival probability. At day 2, after optimization of ventilatory settings, the subjects who persisted with the worse cutoff values for the oxygenation stretch index showed a lower probability of survival at 60 d compared with day 1; this was not the case for other parameters. CONCLUSIONS: The oxygenation stretch index, which combines [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] and ΔP, is associated with mortality and may be useful to predict clinical outcomes in COVID-19 ARDS.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre la violencia íntima de pareja emocional, física y sexual con el auto reporte de secreción y úlcera genital en mujeres participantes de una encuesta poblacional. Métodos: Se realizó un análisis de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar del Perú, 2021. Los criterios de inclusión fueron tener 15 a 49 años, ser casadas o convivientes, y estar seleccionadas y entrevistadas para el módulo de violencia doméstica. Se estimó la prevalencia de auto reporte de secreción y úlcera genital. La asociación con la violencia íntima de pareja fue realizada mediante regresión logística binaria con la estimación de la razón de momios, considerando el diseño muestral complejo. Resultados: La prevalencia del reporte de úlcera o secreción genital fue 10,0%. La razón de momios para reportar secreción o úlcera genital entre las mujeres que sufrieron violencia física leve comparado con las no expuestas fue 2,25 (IC95%: 1,72 a 2,94), el riesgo incrementó a 3,42 (IC95%; 2,39 a 4,90) entre las mujeres que sufrieron violencia física severa. La razón de momios generada por la exposición a violencia sexual para reportar secreción o úlcera fue mayor (OR: 3,84, IC95%: 2,47 a 5,96). Conclusiones: Las mujeres expuestas a cada uno de los tres tipos de violencia íntima de pareja tuvieron mayor chance de reportar secreción o úlcera genital en los últimos 12 meses. El riesgo se incrementa cuando coexisten la forma física y sexual.


Objective: To assess the association between emotional, physical, and sexual intimate partner violence with self-reported discharge and genital ulcer in women from participants in a population-based survey. Methods: An analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey of Peru, 2021 was performed. Inclusion criteria were 15-49 years of age, married or cohabiting, and selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module. The prevalence of self-reported discharge and genital ulcer was estimated. The association with intimate partner violence was performed by binary logistic regression with odds ratio estimation, considering the complex sample design. Results: The prevalence of reporting genital ulcer or discharge was 10.0%. The odds ratio for reporting genital discharge or ulcer among women who suffered mild physical violence compared with those not exposed was 2.25 (95%CI: 1.72-2.94), the risk increased to 3.42 (95%CI: 2.39-4.90) among women who suffered severe physical violence. The odds ratio generated by exposure to sexual violence for reporting discharge or ulcer was higher (odds ratio: 3.84, 95% CI: 2.47-5.96). Conclusions: Women exposed to each of the three types of intimate partner violence had a higher chance of reporting genital discharge or ulcer in the last 12 months. The risk increases when physical and sexual violence coexist.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Objetivo. Determinar la concordancia entre cinco criterios diagnósticos de síndrome metabólico (SM) entre adolescentes residentes de una zona altoandina del Perú. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal con datos secundarios de un estudio de intervención en dos escuelas públicas en el año 2019. Participaron 397 adolescentes que residen en la ciudad de Cajamarca ubicada en la región andina del Perú. Se aplicaron cinco criterios diagnósticos: Third Adult Treatment Panel (ATP-III) modificados por Cook, de la Federación Internacional de Diabetes (IDF), de la American Heart Association (AHA), de Ferranti, y de la Organización Mundial de Salud (OMS). Se estimaron las prevalencias puntuales y de intervalo con los cinco criterios. Se estimó el coeficiente de concordancia de Kappa con su respectivo intervalo de confianza al 95% (IC 95%). Resultados. El criterio de Ferranti identificó un 17,1% (IC 95%: 13,4 a 20,8) de adolescentes con SM, seguido del criterio de la ATP-III con 4,3% (IC 95%: 2,3 a 6,3); los demás criterios identificaron una menor frecuencia. La mejor concordancia fue encontrada entre los criterios de la AHA y la ATP-III (k = 0,905), los criterios de la OMS e IDF tuvieron un coeficiente de 0,628. Los cinco criterios coincidieron en clasificar como SM a seis adolescentes (1,5%). Conclusiones. Los criterios de la AHA y la ATP-III modificados por Cook tuvieron una concordancia casi perfecta, que se mantuvo en ambos sexos. Los criterios ATP-III, de Ferranti, IDF, AHA y OMS concuerdan en menos del 2% en identificar SM en el mismo grupo de adolescentes.


ABSTRACT Objective. To determine the concordance between five diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome (MS) among teenagers from a Peruvian high Andes region. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out with secondary data from an intervention study in two public schools in 2019. We included 397 teenagers who lived in the city of Cajamarca, in the Andean region of Peru. We applied the criteria from the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP-III) modified by Cook, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the American Heart Association (AHA), Ferranti, and the World Health Organization (WHO). The point prevalence and interval prevalence were estimated with the five criteria. The Kappa concordance coefficient with an 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was estimated. Results. The Ferranti criterion identified 17.1% (95%CI: 13.4 to 20.8) of teenagers with MS, followed by the ATP-III criterion with 4.3% (95%CI: 2.3 to 6.3); the other criteria identified a lower frequency. The best concordance was found between the AHA and ATP-III criteria (k = 0.905); the WHO and IDF criteria had a coefficient of 0.628. The five criteria coincided in classifying six adolescents (1.5%) as MS. Conclusions. The AHA and ATP-III criteria modified by Cook had almost perfect concordance, which was also found for both sexes. The ATP-III, Ferranti, IDF, AHA and WHO criteria agree in less than 2% when identifying MS in the same group of adolescents.

RESUMO

Introducción. Se requieren instrumentos en español con propiedades psicométricas conocidas que midan las actitudes de los estudiantes de medicina hacia las actividades científicas. Objetivo. Determinar las propiedades psicométricas de tres instrumentos que miden actitudes hacia la investigación científica, percepciones sobre las barreras para investigar y actitudes hacia la lectura científica. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 311 estudiantes de medicina humana de una universidad en Perú. Los instrumentos usaron la escala de Likert de seis categorías. Se realizó un análisis confirmatorio mediante el modelamiento de ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados. El instrumento sobre las actitudes hacia la investigación científica tuvo tres factores, el primero (9 ítems, coeficiente α = 0,888), el segundo (8 ítems, α = 0,847) y el tercero (3 ítems, α = 0,653). Las percepciones sobre las barreras para investigar se formulan en dos factores, uno de 6 ítems (α = 0,779) y otro de 4 ítems (α = 0,771). El instrumento que evalúa las actitudes hacia la literatura científica tuvo dos factores, uno de valores de expectativa (8 ítems, α = 0,848) y otro sobre competencias auto percibidas en lectura científica (4 ítems, α = 0,838). Conclusión. Se presentan tres instrumentos diferenciados aplicables a estudiantes de medicina. Estos tienen una estructura factorial establecida y adecuada confiabilidad interna para la medición de las actitudes hacia la investigación científica, las barreras para investigar y hacia la literatura científica.


Introduction. Instruments in Spanish with known psychometric properties are required to measure the attitudes of medical students towards scientific activities. Objectives. To determine the psychometric properties of three instruments to measure attitudes towards scientific research, perceptions about barriers to research and attitudes towards scientific reading. Methods. A cross-sectional study was performed in 311 medical students from an university in Peru. The instruments used the Likert scale of six responses. A confirmatory analysis was performed by modeling structural structures. Results. The instrument on attitudes towards scientific research resulted in three factors, the first (9 items, coefficient α = 0.888), the second (8 items, α = 0.847) and the third (3 items, α = 0.653). Perceptions of barriers to research are evaluated with two factors, one with 6 items (α = 0.779) and the other with 4 items (α = 0.771). The instrument that measure attitudes towards scientific literature has two factors: the first measures expectancy values (8 items, α = 0.848) and the second measures self-perceived competences in scientific reading (4 items, α = 0.838). Conclusions. Three differentiated instruments applicable to medical students are presented. These have an established factorial structure and adequate internal reliability for the measurement of attitudes towards scientific research, barriers to research and towards the scientific literature.

RESUMO

Introducción: El estudio de predictores de desenlaces negativos en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca ha incluido la combinación de péptidos natriuréticos y el ancho de distribución eritrocitaria (RDW). Objetivo: Evaluar el uso combinado de la porción N-terminal del propéptido natriurético tipo B (NT-proBNP) y el RDW como pronóstico de fallecimiento por cualquier causa, hospitalización prolongada y reingreso al año del alta en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca aguda (ICA) descompensada. Métodos: Realizamos un estudio observacional retrospectivo. Construimos un índice combinado = NT-proBNP x RDW/100. Elaboramos curvas ROC, se estimó la sensibilidad y especificidad en base a los puntos de corte y se estimó el riesgo relativo para desarrollar los desenlaces. Comparamos las áreas bajo las curvas del índice combinado versus el NT-proBNP y RDW, por separado. Resultados: Analizamos los datos de 471 pacientes. El índice combinado tuvo su mejor corte en 927,79 para pronosticar fallecimiento durante el primer año de ingreso. Aquellos con valores ≥ 927,79 tuvieron un riesgo relativo de 32,7 (IC95%: 4,8 - 222,3). Para hospitalización ≥7 días el punto de corte fue 752,67, aquellos con este valor o superiores tuvieron un riesgo relativo de 22,4 (IC95%: 9,7 - 51,8). Para pronosticar reingreso al año del alta el corte fue 858,47 y el riesgo relativo fue 4,7 (IC95%: 3,3 - 6,8). Conclusiones: El índice combinado generó riesgos relativos que muestran una fuerte fuerza de asociación para fallecimiento por cualquier causa, hospitalización ≥ 7 días y reingresos al año del alta. Sin embargo, la superioridad para discriminar no fue concluyente respecto a los componentes individuales.


Introduction: The study of predictors of negative outcomes in patients with heart failure has included the combination of natriuretic peptides and red cell distribution width (RDW). Objective: To evaluate the combined use of the amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and RDW as a prognostic factor for death from any cause, prolonged hospitalization, and readmission one year after discharge in patients with decompensated acute heart failure (AHF). Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study. We constructed a combined index = NT-ProBNP x RDW/100. ROC curves were constructed, sensitivity and specificity were estimated based on the cut-off points, and the relative risk was estimated to develop the outcomes studied. We compared the area under curve of combined index versus NT-proBNP and RDW, separately. Results: We analyzed data from 471 patients. The combined index had its best cut of 927.79 to predict death during the first year of admission. Those with values ≥ 927,79 had a relative risk of 32.7 (95% CI: 4.8 - 222.3). To predict hospitalization ≥ 7 days, the cut-off point was 752.67; those with this value or higher had a relative risk of 22.4 (95% CI: 9.7 - 51.8). To predict readmission one year after discharge, the cutoff was 858.47 and the relative risk was 4.7 (95% CI: 3.3 - 6.8). Conclusions: The combined index used generate relative risks that show a strong strength of association for death from any cause, hospitalization ≥7 days, and readmissions one year after discharge. However, the superiority to discriminate was inconclusive with respect to the individual components.

RESUMO

Objetivo : Estimar la frecuencia de migraña, y discapacidad generada en estudiantes de medicina de una universidad privada de Lima Metropolitana. Métodos : Estudio transversal en una muestra no probabilística por conveniencia, mediante la aplicación online del autocuestionario ALCOI-95, para evaluar la presencia de migraña, seguido por el cuestionario MIDAS para medir la discapacidad en los positivos al primer cuestionario. El rendimiento académico fue evaluado mediante el promedio ponderado de sus calificaciones. Resultados : Cuarenticinco (21,6%) de 208 estudiantes experimentaron migraña (12,5% con aura y 9,1% sin aura), 14 (33,3%) de los cuales mostraron discapacidad severa y 12 (28,6%) moderada. Los portadores de migraña con aura tuvieron una media menor del promedio ponderado acumulado de sus calificaciones, comparado con aquellos con migraña sin aura. Los factores independientemente asociados a la migraña fueron tener un miembro de la familia nuclear con migraña y problemas para mantener el sueño. Conclusión : Dos de cada 10 estudiantes presentaron migraña y 1/3 de los afectados experimentó discapacidad severa.


SUMMARY Objective: To estimate the frequency of migraine, associated factors and disability generated (including its relationship with academic performance) in medical students at a private university in Metropolitan Lima. Methods: Cross-sectional study in a non-probabilistic convenience sample using the online application of the ALCOI-95 self-questionnaire, to assess the presence of migraine, followed by the MIDAS questionnaire to measure disability in those positive to the first questionnaire. . Results: Fourty-five (21.6%) of 208 students experienced migraine (12.5% with aura and 9.1% without aura), 14 (33.3%) of whom showed severe, and 12 (28.6%) moderate disability. Migraine with aura carriers had a lower mean than the cumulative weighted average of their academic scores. Independent factors associated with migraine were to have a nuclear family member with migraine, and sleep-maintenance problems. Conclusion: Two out of 10 students had migraine, and one third of them had severe disability.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE.: Motivation for the study. There are several criteria for metabolic syndrome in adolescents, each reporting different prevalence rates and not necessarily coinciding with each other. Main findings. We studied school children from the city of Cajamarca at 2750 meters above sea level. The five criteria for metabolic syndrome coincided in six of the 397 (1.5%) adolescents. The criteria generated prevalence rates ranging from 3.0% to 17.1%. The criteria with near perfect concordance were those from the American Heart Association criteria and those modified by Cook. Implications. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in adolescents is complex, even more so among those residing at high altitudes. . To determine the concordance between five diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome (MS) among teenagers from a Peruvian high Andes region. MATERIALS AND METHODS.: A cross-sectional study was carried out with secondary data from an intervention study in two public schools in 2019. We included 397 teenagers who lived in the city of Cajamarca, in the Andean region of Peru. We applied the criteria from the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP-III) modified by Cook, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the American Heart Association (AHA), Ferranti, and the World Health Organization (WHO). The point prevalence and interval prevalence were estimated with the five criteria. The Kappa concordance coefficient with an 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was estimated. RESULTS.: The Ferranti criterion identified 17.1% (95%CI: 13.4 to 20.8) of teenagers with MS, followed by the ATP-III criterion with 4.3% (95%CI: 2.3 to 6.3); the other criteria identified a lower frequency. The best concordance was found between the AHA and ATP-III criteria (k = 0.905); the WHO and IDF criteria had a coefficient of 0.628. The five criteria coincided in classifying six adolescents (1.5%) as MS. CONCLUSIONS.: The AHA and ATP-III criteria modified by Cook had almost perfect concordance, which was also found for both sexes. The ATP-III, Ferranti, IDF, AHA and WHO criteria agree in less than 2% when identifying MS in the same group of adolescents.

RESUMO

Introducción: La asociación entre violencia íntima de pareja contra la mujer y la desnutrición crónica en los hijos no ha sido claramente establecida. En diversos marcos conceptuales que explican la desnutrición infantil, no se considera la violencia doméstica como una determinante. Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre violencia íntima de pareja contra la mujer y la desnutrición crónica en los hijos de 5 años o menos. Material y métodos: Realizamos un estudio de fuentes secundarias basada en la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar 2020 del Perú. Estimamos la razón de momios cruda y ajustada con una regresión logística binaria que consideró como exposición a la violencia íntima de pareja y variable dependiente a la desnutrición crónica, además incluimos 16 covariables de interés seleccionadas a partir de la literatura pertinente. Resultados: Incluimos los datos de 8980 mujeres y sus respectivos hijos. La prevalencia de desnutrición crónica en los hijos de 5 años o menos fue de 10,7% (IC95%: 9,8 a 11,7). No encontramos asociación entre la desnutrición crónica en los hijos y la violencia emocional (ORa: 0,98, IC95%: 0,72 a 1,32), la física severa (ORa:1,02, IC95%: 0,62 a 1,68), y sexual (ORa: 0,94, IC95%: 0,50 a 1,77) contra las madres. Conclusiones: Estos resultados suman a la evidencia que apoya la ausencia de asociación entre los tres tipos de violencia íntima de pareja como factores de riesgo de la desnutrición crónica en los hijos de 5 años o menos y ponen de manifiesto la importancia de otras variables como el nivel educativo de la madre.


Introduction: The association between intimate intimate partner violence against women and chronic malnutrition in children has not been clearly established. Many conceptual frameworks of child malnutrition do not considered domestic violence as a determinant. Objective: To evaluate the association between intimate intimate partner violence against women and chronic malnutrition in children under 5 years of age. Methods: We conducted a study of secondary data based on the Demographic and Family Health Survey 2020 of Peru. We estimated the odds ratio crude and adjusted with a binary logistic regression that considered as exposure to intimate intimate partner violence and dependent variable to chronic malnutrition, also we included 16 covariates of interest selected from the relevant literature. Results: We included data from 8980 women and their children. The chronic malnutrition prevalence in children under 5 months of age was 10.7% (95% CI 9.8 to 11.7). We found no association between chronic malnutrition in children and emotional violence (aOR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.72 to 1.32), severe physical violence (aOR: 1.02, 95% CI: 0.62 to 1.68), and sexual (aOR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.50 to 1.77) against mothers. Conclusions: These results add to the evidence that supports the absence of association between the three types of intimate partner violence as risk factors of chronic malnutrition in children under 5 years of age and highlight the importance of other variables such as the mother's educational level.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE.: To estimate the impact of a school-based nutritional and healthy lifestyle intervention to increase the proportions of adolescents free of components of the metabolic syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS.: We conducted a pre-experimental study in a representative sample of adolescents from two schools in a high Andean district of Peru (Cajamarca city); 388 students completed the intervention and the baseline and post-intervention measurement. The intervention had nine thematic modules; each module was developed in an educational session of 45 minutes every two weeks. We used the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel and Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for metabolic syndrome. We used paired proportions comparison (McNemar test) to determine the impact of the intervention. RESULTS.: At baseline, 20.4% (95% CI: 16.2 to 24.5) students had no metabolic syndrome components, post-intervention this proportion increased to 32,5% (95% CI: 27.7 to 37.3), the difference in proportions was 12.1% (95% CI: 7.5 to 16.8; p<0.001). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 4.6% (95% CI: 2.4 to 6.9) at baseline, while post-intervention was 2.3% (95%CI: 0.7 to 3.9). During the analysis of components, the greatest reduction was observed in the proportion of hypertriglyceridemia (difference in proportions: 21.9%, 95%CI: 16.9 to 26.9, p <0.001); we also found a significant reduction in arterial hypertension (difference in proportions: 3.1%, 95% CI: 0.6 to 5.6, p=0.025). In the other components, there were no significant differences. CONCLUSIONS.: The school-based intervention increased in 59.3% the proportion of students free of any component of the metabolic syndrome.


OBJETIVO.: Estimar el efecto de una intervención educativa basada en nutrición y estilos de vida saludables para incrementar la proporción de adolescentes libres de componentes del síndrome metabólico. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS.: Se realizó un estudio preexperimental en una muestra representativa de adolescentes de dos escuelas de un distrito altoandino del Perú (ciudad de Cajamarca); 388 estudiantes completaron la intervención, así como la medición basal y la posintervención. La intervención tuvo nueve ejes temáticos, cada uno fue desarrollado en una sesión educativa de 45 min cada dos semanas. Se usó los criterios del National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel and Adult Treatment Panel III para el síndrome metabólico. Se realizó la comparación de proporciones pareadas (prueba de McNemar) para determinar el impacto de la intervención. RESULTADOS.: En la medición basal, el 20,4% (IC95%: 16,2 a 24,5) no tenía componentes de SM, posintervención dicha proporción se incrementó a 32,5% (IC95%: 27,7 a 37,3), la diferencia de proporciones fue 12,1% (IC95%: 7,5 a 16,8; p<0,001). La prevalencia de síndrome metabólico fue 4,6% (IC95%: 2,4 a 6,9) basalmente; posintervención fue 2,3% (IC95%: 0,7 a 3,9). La diferencia de proporciones fue 2,3%, (IC95%: 0,3 a 3,2; p=0,022). Entre los componentes, la mayor reducción fue en la proporción de hipertrigliceridemia (diferencia de proporciones: 21,9%, IC95%: 16,9 a 26,9; p<0,001), también se observó una reducción significativa de la hipertensión arterial (diferencia de proporciones: 3,1%, IC95%: 0,6 a 5,6; p=0,025). En los demás componentes no hubo diferencias significativas. CONCLUSIONES.: La intervención educativa incrementó en un 59,3% la proporción de estudiantes libres de algún componente del síndrome metabólico.

RESUMO

RESUMEN La formación de competencias en investigación científica en las facultades de medicina humana ha sido objeto de diversas aproximaciones teóricas y de diversas experiencias de implementación en el mundo. Presentamos la experiencia de una facultad de medicina humana de una universidad privada ubicada en la ciudad de Lima, Perú, que viene implementando la estrategia de "enseñanza basada en la investigación" en articulación con la "enseñanza orientada a la investigación" con la finalidad de incorporar el logro de competencias para la investigación científica en el diseño curricular. La experiencia suma a aquellas descritas en facultades de medicina, pero con la adecuación al contexto de la educación médica del Perú. La implementación ha generado retos no previstos en la formulación de la intervención, y que son descritos para su consideración en nuevos escenarios. La experiencia se fundamenta en un marco conceptual que puede servir de referencia para su aplicación en otras instituciones de América Latina.


ABSTRACT Competency-based learning in scientific research in the medicine faculties has been the subject of several theoretical approaches and many implementation experiences worldwide. We present the experience of an private university located in the city of Lima, Peru. This university has implemented a strategy of "research-based teaching" in conjunction with "research-oriented teaching" in order to incorporate the achievement of competences for scientific research in the curricular design. The experience is added to those described in medical schools, but with the appropriateness regarding the context of medical education in Peru. The implementation of the curricular strategy has generated unforeseen challenges in the formulation of the intervention, which are described for consideration in new scenarios. The experience is based on a conceptual framework that can serve as a reference for its application in other institutions at Latin America.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción. La cintura hipertrigliceridémica ha sido propuesta como un fenotipo con una fuerte asociación al síndrome metabólico, no se conoce la frecuencia de este fenotipo en adolescentes del Perú, incluyendo sus zonas andinas. Objetivo. Estimar la frecuencia de la cintura hipertrigliceridémica y su asociación con anormalidades metabólicas y otros factores en adolescentes peruanos de una región andina. Métodos. Estudio de fuente secundaria de diseño transversal analítico. Analizamos los datos de 397 adolescentes seleccionados aleatoriamente en dos escuelas públicas de la ciudad de Cajamarca. Se definió cintura hipertrigliceridémica como la presencia simultánea de una circunferencia de cintura incrementada (≥percentil 90 para edad y sexo) e hipertrigliceridemia sérica (≥110 mg/dL). Se realizó la estimación de la prevalencia de manera puntual y con su intervalo de confianza al 95%, también realizamos un análisis de regresión logística binaria para identificar factores asociados. Resultados. El fenotipo de cintura hipertrigliceridémica fue 2,01% (IC95%: 0,51 a 3,52). El componente más frecuente fue hipertrigliceridemia con 39,55% (IC95%: 34,61 a 44,48), mientras que la circunferencia de cintura incrementada afectó al 3,02% (IC95%: 1,21 a 4,83). El exceso de peso fue la única variable asociada con el fenotipo de cintura hipertrigliceridémica (OR ajustado: 62,7; IC95%: 6,7 a 587,9; p<0,001). Conclusiones. Dos de cien adolescentes de 11 a 17 años residentes de una región altoandina del Perú tuvieron el fenotipo de cintura hipertrigliceridémica. Dicho fenotipo estuvo asociado con el exceso de peso.


ABSTRACT Introduction. The hypertriglyceridemic waist has been proposed as a phenotype with a strong association with the metabolic syndrome. The frequency of this phenotype in adolescents from Peru, including Andes population is unknown. Objective. To estimate the frequency of the hypertriglyceridemic waist and its association with metabolic abnormalities and other factors in Peruvian adolescents from an Andean region. Methods. We performed a data secondary analysis through cross-sectional design. We analyzed 397 randomly selected adolescents from two public schools in the Cajamarca city. We defined hypertriglyceridemic waist as the simultaneous presence of increased waist circumference (≥ 90th percentile for age and sex) and serum hypertriglyceridemia (≥110 mg/dL). We estimated the point prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist and their 95% confidence interval, we also performed a binary logistic regression analysis to identify associated risks. Results. The phenotype of hypertriglyceridemic waist was 2.01% (95%CI: 0.51 to 3.52). The most frequent component was hypertriglyceridemia with 39.55% (95%CI: 34.61 to 44.48), while increased waist circumference affected 3.02% (95%CI: 1.21 to 4.83). Excess weight was the only variable association with hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype (adjusted OR: 62.7; 95%CI: 6.7 - 587.9; p<0.001). Conclusions. Two of one hundred adolescents aged 11 to 17 years living in a high Andean region of Peru had the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype. This phenotype was associated with excess weight.

RESUMO

Cystic echinococcosis, known as hydatidosis, is a parasitic zoonosis caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. Renal hydatidosis is a very rare condition, representing 1% to 2% of cases. We present an 18-year-old patient who, after suffering a trauma, experienced severe lower back pain and persistent gross hematuria disproportionate to the trauma. Ultrasonography and tomography revealed cystic images compatible with right renal hydatidosis and hemoperitoneum. In addition, rapid clinical deterioration was observed with decreased hematocrit, leading to lumpectomy with abundant cysts inside and outside the right kidney, without viable parenchyma. Therefore, a total nephrectomy was performed. The patient was discharged with albendazole treatment. Pathological anatomic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of hydatidosis. Surgery remains the best therapeutic option. The use of ultrasonography improves the early detection of zoonosis, especially in pediatric patients, and favors the use of more conservative therapeutic techniques.

RESUMO

COVID-19 has affected the conduct of clinical trials worldwide. Once the health emergency began in Peru, the national government took measures to guarantee the conduct of COVID-19 clinical trials. A national research ethics committee was exclusively established for COVID-19 clinical trials; and a regulatory framework was implemented to ensure the ethical and timely conduct of these studies. To december 31, 2020, the Peruvian National Health Institute authorized 29 clinical trials, of which 4 test vaccines. The mean and standard deviation of time authorization were 19.3 and 10.5 days, respectively. 58.6% (n= 17) were phase II clinical trials and 34.5% (n= 10) were phase III; 31.0% (n= 9) were sponsored by a Peruvian institution. The aim of the actions implemented was to promote COVID-19 research while responding to the health emergency needs without affecting the protection of participants or the rigor of the studies.
