RESUMO

Background: Adequate glycemic control improves the prognosis of patients hospitalized for pneumonia associated with severe COVID-19. Objective: To evaluate the impact of hyperglycemia (HG) on the prognosis of patients hospitalized for severe pneumonia associated with COVID-19 in unvaccinated patients. Material and methods: Prospective cohort study. We included patients hospitalized from August 2020 to February 2021, with severe COVID-19 pneumonia, not vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. Data was collected from admission to discharge. We used descriptive and analytical statistics according to the data distribution. ROC curves were used to determine the cut-off points with the highest predictive performance for HG and mortality, with the IBM SPSS program, version 25. Results: We included 103 patients, 32% women, 68% men, age 57 ± 13 years; 58% were admitted with HG (191, IQR 152-300 mg/dL) and 42% with normoglycemia (NG < 126 mg/dL). Mortality was higher in HG at admission 34 (56.7%) than in NG 13 (30.2%) (p = 0.008). HG was associated with diabetes mellitus 2 and neutrophilia (p < 0.05). The risk of death increases 1.558 times (95% CI 1.118-2.172) if HG is at admission and 1.43 times (95% CI 1.14-1.79) during hospitalization. Maintaining NG throughout the hospitalization contributed independently to survival (RR = 0.083 [95% CI 0.012-0.571], p = 0.011). Conclusion: HG significantly impacts prognosis by increasing mortality more than 50% during hospitalization for COVID-19.


Introducción: el adecuado control glucémico mejora el pronóstico de pacientes hospitalizados por neumonía asociada a COVID-19 grave. Objetivo: evaluar el impacto de la hiperglucemia (HG) sobre el pronóstico de pacientes hospitalizados por neumonía grave asociada a COVID-19 en no vacunados. Material y métodos: estudio de cohorte prospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes hospitalizados de agosto de 2020 a febrero de 2021, con neumonía grave por COVID-19, no vacunados contra SARS-CoV-2. Los datos fueron recolectados desde el ingreso hasta el egreso. Se empleó estadística descriptiva y analítica de acuerdo con la distribución de datos. Se construyeron curvas ROC para determinar los puntos de corte de mayor rendimiento predictivo para HG y mortalidad, con el programa IBM SPSS, versión 25. Resultados: se incluyeron 103 pacientes, 32% mujeres, 68% hombres, edad 57 ± 13 años; 58% ingresaron con HG (191, IQR 152-300 mg/dL) y 42% en normoglucemia (NG < 126 mg/dL). La mortalidad fue mayor en HG al ingreso 34 (56.7%) que en NG 13 (30.2%) (p = 0.008). La HG se asoció con diabetes mellitus 2 y neutrofilia (p < 0.05). El riesgo de muerte se incrementó 1.558 veces (IC 95% 1.118-2.172) si la HG fue al ingreso y 1.43 veces (IC 95% 1.14-1.79) durante la hospitalización. Mantener NG durante todo el internamiento contribuyó de manera independiente a la sobrevida (RR 0.083 [IC 95% 0.012-0.571], p = 0.011). Conclusión: la HG impacta significativamente el pronóstico al incrementar en más de 50% la mortalidad durante la hospitalización por COVID-19.

RESUMO

Backround: Venous thromboembolic disease (VTED) is a frequent cause of hospitalization and mortality. Whole blood viscosity (WBV) participates in the pathogenesis of thrombosis. Objective: To identify the most frequent etiologies and their association with WBV index (WBVI) in hospitalized patients with VTED. Material and methods: Observational, cross-sectional, retrospective, analytical study, Group 1: cases (patients diagnosed with VTED) and Group 2: controls without thrombosis. Risk factors for VTED were described and WBVI was calculated from total proteins and hematocrit. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used with Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, Mann Whitney U test, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: We included 146 patients and 148 controls, age 46.3 ±17.7 vs. 58 ± 18.2 years, of both sexes (female, 65.1%). The most frequent etiology was neoplastic (23.3%), followed by diseases with cardiovascular risk (17.8%). Independent risk factors for VTED were age, chronic kidney disease, presence of liver disease or solid neoplasia. WBVI was similar in patients with VTED as in those without thrombosis. We found an association of the presence of deep vein thrombosis and diseases with cardiovascular risk (p = 0.040). Conclusions: The presence of chronic kidney disease, liver disease, and solid neoplasia are independent risk factors for VTED. The WBVI is a simple and rapid diagnostic tool in the evaluation of patients with VTED.


Introducción: la enfermedad tromboembólica venosa (ETEV) es causa frecuente de hospitalización y mortalidad. La viscosidad sanguínea participa en la patogénesis de la trombosis. Objetivo: analizar los factores de riesgo y el índice de viscosidad sanguíneo total (IVTS) en pacientes con ETEV. Material y métodos: estudio observacional, transversal, retrospectivo, analítico. Grupo 1: casos (pacientes con diagnóstico de ETEV), y grupo 2: controles sin trombosis. Se describieron los factores de riesgo para ETEV y se calculó el IVTS a partir de proteínas totales y hematocrito. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva e inferencial con prueba de Chi cuadrada, prueba exacta de Fisher, U de Mann Whitney, análisis de regresión logística bivariado y multivariado. Resultados: incluimos 146 pacientes y 148 controles, edad 46.3 ± 17.7 frente a 58 ± 18.2 años, de ambos sexos, femenino (65.1%). La etiología más frecuente fue la neoplásica (23.3%), seguida de la enfermedad con riesgo cardiovascular (17.8%). Los factores de riesgo independientes para ETEV fueron: edad, enfermedad renal crónica, presencia de hepatopatía o neoplasia sólida. El IVTS fue similar en los pacientes con ETEV que en aquellos sin trombosis. Se encontró asociación de la presencia de trombosis venosa profunda y enfermedades con riesgo cardiovascular (p = 0.040). Conclusiones: la presencia de ERC, hepatopatía y neoplasia sólida son factores de riesgo independientes para ETEV. El IVTS es un instrumento diagnóstico sencillo y rápido en la evaluación de los pacientes con ETEV.

RESUMO

Background: COVID-19 brought with it unknowns related to systemic sclerosis. Objective: To know the clinical evolution and prognosis of COVID-19 in a cohort of patients with systemic sclerosis. Methods: During the pandemic, we had digital contact with a cohort of 197 patients with SSc. If they had any condition that met the suspected definition of COVID-19, they underwent polymerase chain reaction testing for SARS-CoV-2; they were treated on an outpatient or hospital basis without interfering with their treatment. They followed their evolution every 24 hours until they became asymptomatic or died. Results: Thirteen patients (6.6%), nine diffuse cutaneous (dcSSc), and four limited cutaneous (lcSSc) developed COVID-19 during nine months of follow-up. The immunosuppressants used at the time of the disease were: mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, and prednisone, in low doses. Seven patients had interstitial lung disease (ILD). The main symptoms were chest pain, cough, dyspnea, dysgeusia, and anosmia, 1 with mild symptoms without pneumonia, 11 with mild pneumonia, and one with severe pneumonia that required hospital management. Only one (7.7%) presented severe pneumonia, was hospitalized, and died. Conclusions: COVID-19 disease in patients with SSc can be overcome in most cases, even when they are ILD and were using immunosuppressants at the time of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.


Introducción: la COVID-19 trajo consigo incógnitas relacionadas con la esclerosis sistémica, enfermedad de baja prevalencia asociada a neumopatía intersticial difusa (NID). Objetivo: conocer la evolución clínica y el pronóstico de la COVID-19 en una cohorte de pacientes con esclerosis sistémica (ES). Métodos: se analizó una serie de 13 casos procedentes de una cohorte de 197 pacientes con ES en seguimiento vía digital. Cuando los pacientes cumplieron con la definición sospechosa de COVID-19 se solicitó prueba de reacción en cadena de polimerasa para SARS-CoV-2. Todos los pacientes recibieron seguimiento durante su atención ambulatoria u hospitalaria, sin interferir con su tratamiento cada 24 horas hasta quedar asintomáticos o fallecer. Resultados: de 197 pacientes, trece (6.6%) enfermaron de COVID-19 de edad 57 años (RIC: 52-63), cutáneos difusa (ESD) y 4 limitada (ESL) en lapso de 9 meses. Once presentaron neumonía leve (84%), una neumonía grave con fallecimiento intrahospitalario (7.7%). La oximetría media al ambiente se mantuvo en SO2 90% (88-92%). Casi todos usaban inmunosupresores (84%) al momento de enfermar: micofenolato de mofetilo, metotrexato, prednisona en dosis bajas. Siete (53%) tenían enfermedad pulmonar intersticial (EPI) previa. Principalmente manifestaron disnea (67.5%), dolor torácico, tos, disgeusia y anosmia. Conclusiones: es posible que al momento del contagio con el virus SARS-CoV-2 los inmunosupresores permitieran una menor respuesta inflamatoria sistémica, evitando un peor pronóstico, incluso en quienes tienen enfermedad intersticial previa.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The possibility that the blood group (BG) predisposes to SARS-CoV-2 infection is controversial. OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence of BG, anti-IgG SARS-CoV-2, and more frequent symptoms in convalescent health personnel vs controls prior to vaccination. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Analytical cross-sectional design of cases and controls, which included health personnel, from March to June 2020, confirmed with (polymerase chain reaction) PCR-SARS-CoV-2 and negative controls with PCR and anti-IgG-SARS-CoV-2. Participants were questioned concerning symptoms and BG was determined. It was used descriptive statistics and comparative analysis with chi squared, Fisher's exact test, Student's t, and Mann Whitney's U tests. RESULTS: Of 218 workers, 102 (46.8%) were confirmed cases for SARS-CoV-2 (convalescent) and 116 controls. The distribution of BG was similar between cases and controls, being BG-O + the most frequent (52.9%). The risk of becoming infected by SARS-CoV-2 for BG-O compared to BGNo-O showed a lower trend (odds ratio [OR] 0.725, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.416-1.261, p = ns). The BG-A (28.4%) compared with BG-No-A (71.6%) showed a trend of increased risk in BG-A (OR 1.523, 95% CI 0.818-2.837, p = ns). The presence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies was 85% in the convalescent group. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of infected was proportionally higher for BG-A and lower for BG-O. About 15% did not develop SARS-CoV-2 antibodies after overcoming COVID-19 disease.


INTRODUCCIÓN: la posibilidad de que el grupo sanguíneo (GS) predisponga a infección por SARS-CoV-2 es controversial. OBJETIVO: comparar prevalencia de GS, anti-IgG SARSCoV-2 y síntomas más frecuentes, en personal de salud convaleciente frente a controles previo a la vacunación. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: diseño transversal analítico de casos y controles, que incluyó personal de salud, de marzo a junio de 2020, confirmados con reaccion en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR-SARS-CoV-2) y controles negativos con PCR y anti-IgG-SARS-COV-2. Se les interrogó sobre los síntomas y se determinó el GS. Se empleó estadística descriptiva y análisis comparativo con chi cuadrada o prueba exacta de Fisher y t de Student o U de Mann-Whitney. RESULTADOS: de 218 trabajadores, 102 (46.8%) fueron casos confirmados para SARS-CoV-2 (convalecientes) y 116 controles. La distribución de GS fue similar entre los casos y los controles y el GS-O+ fue el más frecuente (52.9%). El riesgo de infectarse de SARS-CoV-2 para el GS-O, comparado con GS-No-O mostró menor tendencia: razón de momios [RM] 0.725 (intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC 95%] 0.416-1.261; p = ns). El GS-A (28.4%) comparado con GSNo-A (71.6%) mostró tendencia de incremento del riesgo en GS-A, RM 1.523 (IC 95% 0.818-2.837, p = ns). La presencia de anticuerpos IgG de SARS-CoV-2 fue del 85% en el grupo de convalecientes. CONCLUSIONES: la prevalencia de infectados fue proporcionalmente mayor para GS-A y menor para GS-O. Alrededor de 15% no desarrollaron anticuerpos de SARS-CoV-2 después de recuperarse de COVID-19.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mexico is ranked second in obesity in adults worldwide and resident physicians are not exempt from this problem. Inadequate diet and physical inactivity are associated factors. Bioimpedance has greater precision than anthropometry. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the difference between degree of physical activity, caloric intake and body composition in Internal Medicine residents according to their degree of residence. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study. Resident physicians of both sexes, from second, third and fourth degree of training were included; they were fasting. Vital signs were taken; a Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) questionnaire, anthropometry, a 24-hour reminder, and bioelectrical impedance analysis were administered. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis and chi squared tests were used. RESULTS: 84 resident physicians were included, 48 were male. The median age was of 27 years (26-28). There was a prevalence of 46.4% of overweight and obesity, despite the hypocaloric diet in 89%. Bioelectrical impedance analysis showed that 72.6% of residents had elevated body fat, 71% sub-optimal degree of physical activity and 23.7% arterial hypertension. CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence of overweight and obesity was found with differences in body composition and suboptimal level of physical activity. It is important to correct bad eating habits and improve physical activity to reduce risks in this population.

La bioimpedancia tiene mayor precisión que la antropometría. OBJETIVO: analizar la diferencia entre grado de actividad física, ingesta calórica y composición corporal en residentes de Medicina Interna de acuerdo con su grado de residencia. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: estudio transversal. Se incluyeron médicos residentes de ambos sexos de segundo, tercero y cuarto grado, quienes participaron en ayuno. Se les tomaron signos vitales, se les otorgó el cuestionario Rapid Assesment of Physical Activity (RAPA), antropometría, recordatorio de 24 horas y medición de composición corporal por bioimpedancia. Se empleó estadística descriptiva, prueba de Kruskal-Wallis y chi cuadrada. RESULTADOS: se incluyeron 84 médicos residentes, 48 (57.14%) fueron del género masculino. La mediana de edad fue de 27 años (26-28). Se encontró una prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad de 46.4% a pesar de la dieta hipocalórica en el 89%. La medición por bioimpedancia indicó que 72.6% tuvo grasa corporal elevada, 71% grado de actividad física subóptimo y 23.7% hipertensión arterial. CONCLUSIONES: se encontró una alta prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad con diferencias en la composición corporal y el nivel subóptimo de actividad física. Es importante corregir los malos hábitos alimenticios y mejorar la actividad física para reducir riesgos en esta población.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disease, characterized by arterial or venous thrombosis and/or obstetric events in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). It is usually diagnosed in patients between the ages of 15 and 50 years, and there are 5 new cases per 100,000 people per year. It is reported a case of APS, which it is present in an older adult with an unusual clinical manifestation. CLINICAL CASE: Female patient without history of autoimmune diseases, at age 70 presented hemolytic anemia, Coombs direct positive, classified as autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AHAI) Coombs+, and severe thrombocytopenia. Other immunological, infectious, and lymphoid proliferative disorders and solid tumors were ruled out. Fisher-Evans syndrome (FES) was diagnosed with good response to treatment. Three months later, the patient presented deep venous thrombosis in the left pelvic limb, positive antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and positive aloantibodies were determined, establishing the diagnosis of primary APS and FES as its initial manifestation. Since then, the patient has been in treatment with acenocoumarol and prednisone without new recurrences of thrombosis, with persistence of moderate thrombocytopenia, without adding another clinical manifestation in 15 years of follow-up. CONCLUSION: The unusual presentation of this disease in older adults with comorbidities should not rule out the possibility of the development of a primary autoimmune disease, so it should be considered for diagnosis in this age group.


INTRODUCCIÓN: el síndrome antifosfolípido (SAF) es una enfermedad autoinmune sistémica, caracterizada por trombosis arterial o venosa, o eventos obstétricos en presencia de anticuerpos antifosfolípidos (aPL). Suele diagnosticarse entre los 15 y los 50 años, y hay cinco casos nuevos por cada 100 000 personas al año. Se reporta un caso de SAF que presenta una adulta mayor con manifestación clínica poco usual. CASO CLÍNICO: paciente mujer, sin antecedentes de enfermedades autoinmunes, que a los 70 años presentó anemia hemolítica y Coombs directo positivo, lo cual se catalogó como anemia hemolítica autoinmune (AHAI) Coombs+, y trombocitopenia severa. Se descartaron otros trastornos inmunológicos, infecciosos, linfoproliferativos y tumores sólidos, y se diagnosticó síndrome de Fisher-Evans (SFE) con buena respuesta al tratamiento. Tres meses después, la paciente presentó trombosis venosa profunda en miembro pélvico izquierdo. Se determinaron aPL positivos y aloanticuerpos positivos, y se estableció el diagnóstico de SAF primario y como su manifestación inicial el SFE. Desde entonces la paciente fue tratada con acenocumarina y prednisona sin recurrencias de trombosis, con persistencia de trombocitopenia moderada y sin nuevas manifestaciones clínicas en 15 años de seguimiento. CONCLUSIÓN: ante la presentación inusual de esta enfermedad en adultos mayores con comorbilidades no se debe descartar la posibilidad del desarrollo de una enfermedad autoinmune primaria, por lo cual se debe tener en cuenta para su diagnóstico en este grupo etario.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is characterized by the accumulation of lipoprotein material in the alveoli. It is classified as primary, secondary and congenital. The primary form, of autoimmune origin, is characterized by antibodies against granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). The aim of this article is to present a case of PAP with adequate response to treatment with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and GM-CSF. CLINICAL CASE: A 28-year-old female patient who started with mild to moderate effort dyspnea, distal cyanosis and lower respiratory tract infection. We found restrictive pattern respiratory function tests, chest X-ray with bilateral nodular reticulum pattern and high-resolution tomography with ground glass image and bronchiectasis, besides video bronchoscopy with inflammatory process. The open biopsy revealed data of alveolar proteinaceous material and mononuclear infiltrate. Treatment was given with BAL and GM-CSF which was suspended by dermal reaction. The patient had a satisfactory evolution and is currently asymptomatic. CONCLUSION: The present case had clinical, imaging and histological manifestations for the diagnosis of autoimmune PAP with a satisfactory response to treatment. Although PAP is a low prevalence entity, the diagnosis and therapeutic options must be taken into account, including BAL and GM-CSF, since this factor is required for surfactant factor homeostasis.


INTRODUCCIÓN: la proteinosis alveolar pulmonar (PAP) se caracteriza por la acumulación de material lipoproteináceo en los alveolos, y se clasifica en primaria, secundaria y congénita. La primaria, de origen autoinmune, se caracteriza por anticuerpos contra el factor estimulante de colonia de granulocitos y macrófagos (GM-CSF). El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar un caso de PAP con buena respuesta al tratamiento con lavado broncoalveolar (LBA) y GM-CSF. CASO CLÍNICO: Caso clínico: distal e infección de vías respiratorias bajas. Se efectuaron pruebas de función respiratoria con patrón restrictivo, radiografía de tórax con patrón retículo nodular bilateral y tomografía de alta resolución con imagen de vidrio despulido y bronquiectasias, así como video broncoscopía con proceso inflamatorio. La biopsia a cielo abierto evidenció datos de material proteináceo alveolar e infiltrado mononuclear. Se dio tratamiento con LBA y GM-CSF, el cual fue suspendido por reacción dérmica. Tuvo evolución satisfactoria y actualmente se encuentra asintomática. CONCLUSIÓN: el presente caso tuvo manifestaciones clínicas, de imagen e histológicas para el diagnóstico de PAP autoinmune con respuesta satisfactoria. Para el tratamiento de la PAP, aunque es una entidad de baja prevalencia, se debe tener en cuenta el diagnóstico y las opciones terapéuticas, entre ellas, el LBA y el GM-CSF, puesto que este factor se requiere para la homeostasis del factor surfactante.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: Aun con adecuado protocolo de desconexión de la ventilación mecánica (DVM), el procedimiento falla en 15 a 30 % de los casos. Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre factores de riesgo independientes y fracaso posextubación en pacientes con DVM en una unidad de cuidados intensivos. Método: Estudio de cohorte, longitudinal, prospectivo, analítico, que incluyó pacientes sometidos a ventilación mecánica por más de 24 horas y que fueron extubados. Se obtuvieron reportes preextubación de hemoglobina, albúmina, fósforo, índice cintura-cadera y puntuación SOFA. Se definió como fracaso de extubación al reinicio de la ventilación mecánica en 48 horas o menos. Resultados: Se extubaron 123 pacientes, 74 hombres (60 %); la edad promedio fue de 50 ± 18 años. Ocurrió fracaso de extubación en 37 (30 %). Como factores de riesgo independentes se asoció hipoalbuminemia en 29 (23.8 %, RR = 1.43, IC 95 % = 1.11-1.85) e hipofosfatemia en 18 (14.6 %, RR = 2.98, IC 95 % = 1.66-5.35); se observaron dos o más factores de riesgo independientes en 22.7 % (RR = 1.51, IC 95 % = 1.14-2.00). Conclusiones: Identificar los factores de riesgo independentes antes de la DVM puede ayudar a reducir el fracaso de la extubación y la morbimortalidad asociada.


Abstract Introduction: Even with an adequate mechanical ventilation weaning (MVW) protocol, the procedure fails in 15 to 30 % of cases. Objective: To assess the association between independent risk factors (IRFs) and post-extubation failure in patients undergoing MVW in an intensive care unit. Method: Longitudinal, prospective, analytical cohort study in patients on mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours and who were extubated. Pre-extubation reports of hemoglobin, albumin, phosphorus, waist-hip ratio and SOFA score were obtained. Extubation failure was defined as resumption of mechanical ventilation within 48 hours or less. Results: 123 patients were extubated, out of whom 74 were males (60 %); average age was 50 ± 18 years. Extubation failure occurred in 37 (30 %). Hypoalbuminemia was associated as an independent risk factor in 29 (23.8 %, RR = 1.43, 95 % CI = 1.11-1.85) and hypophosphatemia was in 18 (14.6 %, RR = 2.98, 95 % CI = 1.66-5.35); two or more IRFs were observed in 22.7 % (RR = 1.51, 95 % CI = 1.14-2.00). Conclusions: Identifying independent risk factors prior to MVW can help reduce the risk of extubation failure and associated morbidity and mortality.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Even with an adequate mechanical ventilation weaning (MVW) protocol, the procedure fails in 15 to 30 % of cases. OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between independent risk factors (IRFs) and post-extubation failure in patients undergoing MVW in an intensive care unit. METHOD: Longitudinal, prospective, analytical cohort study in patients on mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours and who were extubated. Pre-extubation reports of hemoglobin, albumin, phosphorus, waist-hip ratio and SOFA score were obtained. Extubation failure was defined as resumption of mechanical ventilation within 48 hours or less. RESULTS: 123 patients were extubated, out of whom 74 were males (60 %); average age was 50 ± 18 years. Extubation failure occurred in 37 (30 %). Hypoalbuminemia was associated as an independent risk factor in 29 (23.8 %, RR = 1.43, 95 % CI = 1.11-1.85) and hypophosphatemia was in 18 (14.6 %, RR = 2.98, 95 % CI = 1.66-5.35); two or more IRFs were observed in 22.7 % (RR = 1.51, 95 % CI = 1.14-2.00). CONCLUSIONS: Identifying independent risk factors prior to MVW can help reduce the risk of extubation failure and associated morbidity and mortality. INTRODUCCIÓN: Aun con adecuado protocolo de desconexión de la ventilación mecánica (DVM), el procedimiento falla en 15 a 30 % de los casos. OBJETIVO: Evaluar la asociación entre factores de riesgo independientes y fracaso posextubación en pacientes con DVM en una unidad de cuidados intensivos. MÉTODO: Estudio de cohorte, longitudinal, prospectivo, analítico, que incluyó pacientes sometidos a ventilación mecánica por más de 24 horas y que fueron extubados. Se obtuvieron reportes preextubación de hemoglobina, albúmina, fósforo, índice cintura-cadera y puntuación SOFA. Se definió como fracaso de extubación al reinicio de la ventilación mecánica en 48 horas o menos. RESULTADOS: Se extubaron 123 pacientes, 74 hombres (60 %); la edad promedio fue de 50 ± 18 años. Ocurrió fracaso de extubación en 37 (30 %). Como factores de riesgo independentes se asoció hipoalbuminemia en 29 (23.8 %, RR = 1.43, IC 95 % = 1.11-1.85) e hipofosfatemia en 18 (14.6 %, RR = 2.98, IC 95 % = 1.66-5.35); se observaron dos o más factores de riesgo independientes en 22.7 % (RR = 1.51, IC 95 % = 1.14-2.00). CONCLUSIONES: Identificar los factores de riesgo independentes antes de la DVM puede ayudar a reducir el fracaso de la extubación y la morbimortalidad asociada.

RESUMO

Abstract: Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is defined as the absolute increment of serum creatinine ≥ 0.5 mg/dL or an increment more than 25% of basal creatinine, without any other identified cause, within 48 hours after contrast media administration. Objective: Determine the CIN risk in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) with or without metabolic syndrome (MetS) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Material and methods: A prospective, observational, longitudinal and comparative study, in patients with ACS admitted to the Coronary Care Unit or Intensive Care Unit. PCI was performed with a serum creatinine (sCr) of ≤ 1.2 mg/dL prior intervention. Serum creatinine determinations were conducted 24-48 hours post PCI. The statistical test for analysis of free distribution quantitative variables was performed with Mann Whitney U test, and for qualitative variables Chi square test (χ2). Likelihood-ratio and confidence interval of 95% with p = 0.05. Results: 420 patients with infarction code were studied, 323 men (76.9%), 97 women (23.1%), with ages between 56-70 years. They were divided into 2 groups: group A 176 (41.9%) with MetS and group B 244 (58%) without MetS. CIN was present in 43 patients (10.2%) group A and in 29 (6.9%) group B. RR: 2.05, CI 95% 1.33-3.15, p = 0.0012. Conclusions: MetS is a risk factor (RF) for the development of CIN in patients with ACS who undergo PCI. Therefore, this syndrome should be kept in mind for an early detection and prevention of the development of CIN.


Resumen: La nefropatía inducida por contraste (NIC) se define como el incremento absoluto de creatinina sérica ≥ 0.5 mg/dL o un incremento del 25% de la creatinina basal, sin otra causa identificada, en un periodo de 48 horas posterior a la exposición al medio de contraste. Objetivo: Determinar el riesgo de NIC en pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo (SCA) con y sin síndrome metabólico (SM) tratados con intervencionismo coronario percutáneo (ICP). Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo, observacional, longitudinal, comparativo, en pacientes con SCA admitidos a la Unidad de Cuidados Coronarios o a la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. La ICP fue realizada con creatinina sérica (Crs) previa ≤ 1.2 mg/dL. Las determinaciones de creatinina sérica se efectuaron 24-48 horas postICP. Para el análisis de las variables cuantitativas se utilizó la prueba de U de Mann-Whitney y para variables cualitativas, prueba de Chi cuadrada (χ2) con nivel de significancia e intervalos de confianza del 95% con p = 0.05. Resultados: 420 pacientes de código infarto fueron estudiados, 323 hombres (76.9%), 97 mujeres (23.1%) con edades de 56 a 70 años. Se dividieron en dos grupos: grupo A 176 (41.9%) con SM, grupo B, 244 (58%) sin SM. Se presentó NIC en 43 pacientes (10.2%) del grupo A y en 29 (6.9%) del grupo B. RR: 2.05, IC 95% 1.33-3.15, p = 0.0012. Conclusiones: El SM es un factor de riesgo (FR) para desarrollar NIC en pacientes con SCA sometidos a ICP. Por lo tanto, debe tenerse en cuenta para la detección temprana y prevención de NIC.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Investigar la prevalencia de hipotiroidismo y anticuerpos antitiroglobulina (AATg) en pacientes mexicanos con esclerosis sistémica (ES). Material y métodos: Se estudió la función tiroidea en pacientes con ES y controles. Se les determinaron los niveles séricos de triyodotironina, tiroxina, hormona estimulante de la tiroides (TSH) y AATg. Resultados: Fueron 110 pacientes (106 mujeres y 4 hombres), edad promedio de 48.1 ± 28.5 años, versus 80 controles (76 mujeres y 4 hombres), edad promedio 47.5 ± 28.8 años. El hipotiroidismo clínico se encontró en 19% de pacientes con ES y en 1.3% de los controles (p < 0.01). Las medianas respectivamente de triyodotironina en ES y controles fueron: 82 versus 160 ng/dl, p < 0.01; tiroxina 5.4 versus 7 ng/dl, p < 0.01; TSH 8.2 versus 1.1 μUI/ml, p < 0.001. El hipotiroidismo subclínico se observó en 35% de los pacientes con ES y en 0% de los controles. Los valores de TSH en ES y en controles fueron 7.2 versus 1.2 μUI/ml, p < 0.01; triyodotironina 116 versus 160 ng/dl, p ns; tiroxina 7 versus 7 ng/dl, p ns, respectivamente. Los AATg estuvieron presentes en 54% de los pacientes y 2.5% en el grupo control, p < 0.01. Conclusiones: Los pacientes con ES presentan elevada prevalencia de hipotiroidismo, especialmente subclínico, por lo que debe investigarse la función tiroidea para iniciar tratamiento oportuno.


OBJECTIVE: Assess the prevalence of hypothyroidism and anti-thyroglobuline antibodies (AbATg) among Mexican patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thyroid function was studied in SSs patients and controls. Triiodothyronine, thyroxine, thyroid stimulant hormone (TSH) and AbATg were measured. RESULTS: 110 SSc patients (106 women and 4 men), mean age 48.1 +/- 28.5 yrs versus 80 healthy controls (76 women and 4 men) with mean age 47.5 +/- 28.8 yrs were included. Hypothyroidism was diagnosed in 19% patients compared with 1.3% in the control group. The following results were found; triyodotironina: 82 ng/dl versus 160 ng/dl, p < 0.000; tiroxina: 5.4 ng/dl versus 7ng/dl, p < 0.01; TSH: 8.2 uUl/ mL versus 1.1 +/- 2 uUl/mL, p < 0.000. Subclinical hypothyroidism was observed in 35% patients versus 0% controls, TSH: 7.2 uUl/ml versus 1.2 +/- 1.4 uUl/ml, p < 0. 000; triyodotironina: 116 ng/dl compared with 160 ng/dl, p = ns; tiroxina: 7.0 ng/dl vs. 7.0 ng/dl, p ns; AbATg were positive in patients 54% and 2.5%, p < 0.001 in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Our study reports a high prevalence of hypothyroidism among SSc Mexican patients, especially of the subclinical type. We need to consider hypothyroidism as a clinical entity often found among SSc patients, and start hormone replacment treatment accordingly.
