RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: New-onset super-refractory status epilepticus (NOSRSE) is a neurological emergency characterised by the development of status epilepticus in a patient without epilepsy or any known prior neurological disease and with no clear structural, toxic or metabolic cause, which recurs after 24 hours of induced coma. The most common identifiable cause is inflammatory-autoimmune. Consequently, we present a case of NOSRSE related to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination as an opportunity to investigate the dysimmune origin of this pathology. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 40-year-old male who presented at the emergency department with fever and headache with no clear source of infection. His personal history included bacterial meningitis in childhood without any sequelae and protein S deficiency without treatment at the time, as well as vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 21 days earlier. He was initially diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and treated with cefuroxime. Two days later, he was taken back to the emergency department with confusional symptoms and tonic-clonic seizures. He did not respond to midazolam and finally required sedation and orotracheal intubation for refractory status epilepticus. While in hospital, he required a number of lines of antiepileptic drugs, ketamine, a ketogenic diet, immunotherapy and plasmapheresis in order to successfully limit NOSRSE. The aetiological study offered normal results for serology, antineuronal antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid, transthoracic echocardiography, testicular ultrasound and computed tomographic angiography. Only the control MRI scan showed a diffuse and bilateral alteration of the right hemispheric cortex and thalamic pulvinar as the only finding. CONCLUSION: It is crucial to report suspected adverse reactions associated with SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, thereby allowing continued monitoring of the risk/benefit ratio of vaccination.

RESUMO

The habits and lifestyles are the fundamental factors in the control of cardiovascular risk. Patients who have had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) have a high risk of having a new event with similar characteristics. The exponentially growing success, penetration and adherence of the new communication technologies, based on applications (APPs), allows to use them to obtain information and influence the risk factors. We propose that empowering patients in their disease can make a more efficient management of it. For this reason, we designed and developed a system which integrates a mobile application and a web application. This system also makes use of peripheral devices to monitor patients and allow the automatic acquisition of information to enable the characterization of this kind of patients in relation to habits and lifestyle. At the same time, the system can also empower these patients with their disease to do secondary prevention.

RESUMO

Objetivo. El manual pretende ser una guía, accesible y fácil de consultar, que oriente a los profesionales en la elaboración o adaptación de documentos basados en la evidencia que ayuden a la estandarización de la práctica clínica y a la toma de decisiones velando siempre por la calidad de la misma de forma que siga unos referentes establecidos. Material y métodos. La Comisión de Atención Sanitaria Basada en la Evidencia (CASBE), perteneciente a la estructura de calidad del Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío, propuso elaborar un manual para la elaboración de documentos basados en la evidencia que incorpore la relación de productos, la descripción de sus características, atributos, utilidad, metodología de elaboración y ámbito de aplicación de cada uno de ellos. Resultados. El manual contiene 7 herramientas basadas en la evidencia, un capítulo sobre metodología de análisis crítico de la literatura científica, un capítulo con recursos en Internet y anexos con herramientas de evaluación. Conclusiones. Este manual ofrece grandes oportunidades para la mejora de la calidad a los clínicos como guía de estandarización de la práctica asistencial, a los gestores como estrategia para promover y fomentar la elaboración de documentos que ayuden a reducir la variabilidad de la práctica clínica y a los pacientes la oportunidad de participar en la planificación de sus cuidados(AU)


Objectives. This handbook is intended to be an accessible, easy-to-consult guide to help professionals produce or adapt Evidence-Based Documents. Such documents will help standardize both clinical practice and decision-making, the quality always being monitored in such a way that established references are complied with. Materials and methods. Evidence-Based Health Care Committee, a member of “Virgen del Rocío” University Hospital quality structure, proposed the preparation of a handbook to produce Evidence-Based Documents including: a description of products, characteristics, qualities, uses, methodology of production, and application scope of every one of them. Results. The handbook consists of seven Evidence-Based tools, one chapter on critical analysis methodology of scientific literature, one chapter with internet resources, and some appendices with different assessment tools. Conclusions. This Handbook provides general practitioners with a great opportunity to improve quality and as a guideline to standardize clinical healthcare, and managers with a strategy to promote and encourage the development of documents in an effort to reduce clinical practice variability, as well as giving patients the opportunity of taking part in planning their own care(AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: La recurrencia de ictus o AIT es un aspecto clave en la mayoría de los registros de ictus, pero la revisión presencial de todos los pacientes no siempre es viable. Con frecuencia, la revisión telefónica es utilizada para evaluar las recurrencias, la situación funcional y los tratamientos a largo plazo. El objetivo es evaluar la revisión telefónica en un registro de ictus. Material y métodos: Se registraron prospectivamente 380 pacientes con ictus o AIT valorando las características basales y tipo de evento. Posteriormente, fueron evaluados a los 6 meses tras el evento inicial. Doscientos cuarenta y ocho pacientes fueron revisados telefónicamente mediante una entrevista estructurada y 132 fueron revisados físicamente en consulta. Se compararon ambos grupos analizando las diferencias detectadas en las escalas funcionales, tratamientos y recurrencias (AIT o ictus). Resultados: No hubo diferencias en las características basales de ambos grupos, ni en el tipo de evento o gravedad al inicio. A los 6 meses, los tratamientos realizados fueron similares en ambos grupos, presentando un 10,5% (40 pacientes) recurrencia de ictus o AIT. No hubo diferencias significativas en la tasa de nuevos ictus isquémicos (6,1% revisión física vs 4,4% telefónica, p=0,49), pero se detectó un mayor número de AIT en la revisión física frente a la telefónica (9,1% vs 4,0%, p=0,04). Conclusiones: La revisión telefónica de los pacientes con ictus es viable y facilita la realización de registros de ictus, permitiendo una adecuada identificación de los tratamientos y recurrencias de ictus. Sin embargo, es probable que los nuevos eventos transitorios o AIT estén infraestimados (AU)


Introduction: Stroke recurrence is an important issue in stroke registries, but direct patient contact months after stroke is not always feasible. Telephone assessment is often used to evaluate long term stroke outcome, treatments and recurrences. Our aim is to evaluate telephone interview in a stroke registry. Material and methods: Three hundred and eighty patients with a stroke or TIA were prospectively registered, evaluating baseline characteristics and type of event. At 6 months, 248 patients were reviewed by structured telephone interview and 132 were reviewed by direct contact. We analysed stroke outcome and disability, treatments and stroke or TIA recurrences. Results: There were no differences in baseline characteristics and type or severity of the index event. At 6 months, treatments were similar between both groups and 10.5% (40 patients) had a recurrent event. There were no differences in recurrent ischaemic strokes (6.1% in direct contact vs 4.4% telephone, P=.49), but we detected a higher number of TIA in direct examination compared to phone interview (9.1% vs 4.0%, P=.04). Conclusions: Telephone assessment of stroke patients is reliable and facilitates stroke registries in detecting long-term treatments and stroke recurrences. However, it is probable that new transient events or TIA are under-estimated (AU)
