RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To determine the use of various statistical analyses and the degree of analysis-dependent and article-dependent accessibility to the reader of publications in anesthesiology journals with impact factors (included in the Science Citation Index) in comparison with Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed original articles published in 2004 by 3 journals: Anesthesiology, the British Journal of Anaesthesia, and the Revista Españlola de Anestesiología y Reanimación. We found 1214 instances of use of statistics in 386 of the 412 articles analyzed. Twenty-six original articles did not use statistical analyses. RESULTS: Statistics were used in 93.7% of the articles. The mean (SD) number of statistical tests used per article was 3.16 (132). Readers able to understand only descriptive statistics would find only a quarter of the articles' analyses comprehensible in all 3 of the journals studied. A reader familiar with second-level statistics (after the classification of Emerson and Colditz), would have an overall understanding of the analyses in 61.94% of the articles. Such a reader would be able to understand a higher percentage (76.67%) of articles in the Spanish anesthesiology journal. CONCLUSIONS: As a result of marked advances in the use of statistics in anesthesiology journals, readers are seeing more applications of higher-level statistics. Readers must therefore acquire greater knowledge of statistics in order to understand the methods used in original research publications. The results we report for analysis-dependent accessibility show that Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación is easier to understand for readers with knowledge of middle-level statistics. Both Anesthestiology and the British Journal of Anaesthesia publish articles that apply more complex statistical analyses.

RESUMO

OBJETIVOS: Conocer la utilización de distintas pruebas estadísticas y el grado de accesibilidad análisisdependiente y artículo-dependiente en revistas de impacto en Anestesiología según el Science Citation Index (SCI) en relación con la Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación (REDAR). MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se analizaron los artículos originales publicados durante 2004, en tres revistas seleccionadas: Anesthesiology, British Journal of Anaesthesia y Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación, registrando 1.214 pruebas estadísticas en 386 artículos originales de 412 analizados, ya que 26 originales no utilizaron estadística. RESULTADOS: El porcentaje de artículos con estadística fue del 93,7%. El número de estadísticos total por artículo fue de 3,16 (1,32) [media (desviación estándar)]. DISCUSIÓN: Se aprecia que un lector que sólo comprenda estadística descriptiva, será capaz de entender una cuarta parte de los análisis estadísticos usados en los artículos estudiados, independientemente de la revista estudiada. Un lector familiarizado con estadística de Segundo Nivel (Clasificación de Emerson y Colditz), entenderá globalmente, desde el punto de vista estadístico, el 61,94%, siendo este porcentaje más elevado para REDAR, del 76,67%. CONCLUSIONES: Como consecuencia del gran progreso en la utilización de la estadística en las revistas en Anestesiología, nos encontramos ante un incremento en los últimos años en el uso de estadística de alto nivel. Esta circunstancia obligará a obtener y mejorar los conocimientos sobre estadística para una mejor comprensión de la metodología de los artículos originales de las publicaciones científicas. Los resultados obtenidos respecto de la accesibilidad análisis-dependiente demuestran que la Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación es de más fácil comprensión por lectores con nivel de conocimiento estadístico medio, y que tanto Anesthesiology como British Journal of Anaesthesia publican artículos que usan pruebas de mayor complejidad(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: protocolizar la atención a los cardiópatas para conocer la idoneidad al puesto de trabajo. Material y metodología: analizamos 136 trabajadores varones con episodio coronario agudo (Grupo A) y 27 que habían padecido más de un episodio (Grupo B). Aplicamos el «Protocolo de actuación de reincorporación laboral del trabajador infartado» (PTI) para estudiar la idoneidad al puesto de trabajo. Resultados: Grupo A, se reincorporaron a su trabajo anterior el 59,5% de los casos tras una media de 189 días de Incapacidad Temporal (IT). Permanecieron en IT 9,5% y pasaron a Incapacidad Permanente (IP) el 17,6%. No volvieron por defunción o por otras causas el 3,7%, En el Grupo B recayeron 18 trabajadores. El 29,6% se incorporo a su puesto anterior, el 7,4% lo hizo a un puesto de trabajo distinto. Fallecieron el 7,4% y pasaron a IP el 40.7%. Permanecieron en IT el 14,8% de los casos. Conclusión: La mayoría de decisiones sobre incapacidad laboral que se toman en cardiología dependen de la calificación funcional del individuo en el momento de reincorporarse al trabajo (AU)


Objective: to standardise the healthcare of patients with heart disease to know the adaptation to the job. Material and method: we analysed 136 male workers suffering from an acute coronary event (Group A) and a further 27 suffering from more than one event (Group B). We applied the «Protocol of action for a myocardial infarct worker returning to work» (IWW) to study the aptitude to work. Results: Group A - 59,5% of cases returned to the usual job, with a mean of 189 days of temporal disability (TD). In TD continued 9,5% and 17,6% had permanent disability (PD). They did not return due to death or other causes 3,7%. In Group B, 18 workers experienced relapses. Returned to their regular occupational activity 29.6%. 7.4% was relocated Of those not returning, 7,4% died, 40,7% entered a permanent disability status, and 14,8% of cases had a persistent temporal disability. Conclusion: most decisions about work disability adopted in cardiology depend on the subject’s functional degree at this time (AU)

RESUMO

En el presente artículo analizamos la eficacia preventiva de los Equipos de Protección Auditiva (EPI´s) en trabajadores sometidos a multiexposición laboral caracterizada por ruido y agentes químicos asociados, fluidos de corte y humos metálicos. Observamos en contra de lo esperado, significativa igual probabilidad de alteración Trauma Acústico Avanzado (TAA), independientemente del uso de protección en sujetos expuestos a ruidos y fluidos de corte, siendo la probabilidad significativamente mayor, a partir de los 25 años, en aquellos individuos expuestos a ruidos y agente humos metálicos. Puesto que está comprobado que el uso adecuado de los EPI´s reduce el NPS al que se expone el individuo en una medida aproximada de 15 dB(A), hemos de tener en cuenta un aspecto a nuestro juicio esencial como es la presencia del agente químico humos metálicos (especialmente el componente ototóxico CO); lógicamente los EPI´s protegen contra el ruido, pero no contra la emisión de contaminantes químicos, auténtico factor influyente en los resultados obtenidos


We have analyzed the precentive efficacy of the hearing protection equipments (EPI´s) in metal sector workers exposed to noise and chemical agents associated to “cut fluids” and metallic smokes at the working place. We observe that is equal probability of TAA alteration, independently of the use of EPI´s. However, we also observe that probability of alterations is higher from the age of 25 in this group. Considering that it has been proven in other different studies that the appropriate use of EPI´s reduces the exposition to noises (NPS) of the individual in ca. 15 dB(A) we conclude that the presence of the metallic smokes (ototoxic component CO primarily) is the factor that drives TAA alterations

RESUMO

El presente artículo forma parte de un amplio estudio sobre pérdida auditiva laboral en condiciones de multiexposición, es decir, por influencia conjunta de agentes físicos y químicos. Se analiza la influencia del consumo de tabaco y exposición a ruido, si bien es cierto que parte de la población analizada también está sometida a la influencia de otros humos y de otros ruidos extralaborales. Se analiza esta población en exposición múltiple, partiendo de una metodología basada en las "técnicas de seguimiento estadístico", en nuestro caso de seguimiento-resistencia, basadas en la obtención y contraste de las distribuciones logísticas. En trabajadores expuestos a ruido industrial, el hábito de fumar parece potenciar la probabilidad de adquisición de las afecciones TAI y TAA. Teniendo los peores resultados los fumadores de mas de 20 cigarrillos diarios y 20 años o mas de exposición laboral


This paper is part of a large study on occupational hearing loss linked to multi-exposure environments, that is to say, due to both physical and chemical agents. The effect of cigarette consumption and noise exposure is evaluated, although it is quite clear that part of the study population is also under the influence of metal smoke cutting fluids and noise exposure out of their workplace too. The study is based on this population under multiple exposures conditions. It arises from a methodology based on "statistical follow up techniques", in our case follow-up-resistance techniques, based on the obtaining and contrast of logistics distributions. Smoking among workers exposed to industrial noise, seems to encourage the probability of acquisition of Acute Acoustic Trauma (AAT) and Initial Acoustic Trauma (IAT). The worst results are of those smoking over 20 cigarettes a day and undergoing 20 years or more of occupational exposure

RESUMO

En el presente artículo se plantea una nueva interpretación conceptual del accidente en poblaciones laborales, complementada con un desarrollo metodológico, también novedoso, orientado a su análisis. El fundamento de dicha interpretación se centra en la "Teoría del Accidente en Poblaciones" (Conte, 2004), teoría en construcción destinada a explicar científicamente dicho "fenómeno natural". Se expone una metodología dirigida a su "previsión sinóptica" (Conte, J.C. et al.,2004) que abre una nueva etapa en la "prevención del accidente laboral". Las implicaciones de esta orientación en las diversas fases de gestión preventiva, plantean un escenario de base objetiva sobre el que poder abordar de forma unificada, tanto la previsión como el control del accidente. OMEGA® es el nombre bajo el que se ha defmido la aportación metodológica u operativa, que permite llevar a cabo los "análisis de datos" oportunos, conducentes a fijar unos criterios objetivos sobre los que poder desarrollar la gestión racional del accidente laboral


In the article we introduce a new conceptual interpretation of the accident in labour related environment. In addition, we will show the methodological development focused to the analysis. The interpretation is based on the "Theory of the Accident in Populations (Conte 2004), which is a theory, yet not fmalized, that explains that natural phenomenon. The analysis show labour accidents maintain certain structure, which opens the possibility to the prediction within these accidents, which also has a great impact in the preventive management of the labour accident, enabling the possibility of a rational analysis of the data, both from the unified analysis perspective prevention and control. This method described above has been called OMEGA®

RESUMO

El presente artículo es una continuación de otro anterior en el que se describe el método OMEGA® y se da un ejemplo de su aplicación al caso de las "microempresas". En este artículo se desarrollan dos nuevos ejemplos referidos a una "pequeña empresa" (una "estación de esquí" de 130 trabajadores), y a una "gran empresa" ("General Motors España", con 9000 trabajadores). Se comparan los "índices de accidentalidad" de cada una de estas empresas con los resultados obtenidos por OMEGA


Following the article where we explained the OMEGA® method and its applications, we will analyze two further examples of the OMEGA© method application to a small-size company (sky resort with 130 employees) and a large-size company ("General Motors España" with 9000 employees). Accidentality rates for each of these companies will be compared to the results obtained from the OMEGA® method

RESUMO

Introducción: Los profesionales de farmacia son un grupo de sanitariosen constante contacto con la población general. Por ello nuestroobjetivo fue estudiar la prevalencia del hábito tabáquico en trabajadoresde oficinas de farmacia según titulación, sexo y edad.Sujetos y método: Se estudió una muestra de 401 trabajadores delas 662 oficinas de farmacia existentes en Aragón, seleccionada por muestreobietápico. Se utilizó una encuesta anónima y autoadministrada que,dentro de un estudio más amplio, permitió clasificarlos en nunca fumadores,ex-fumadores y fumadores.Resultados: La prevalencia de fumadores fue del 36,91% (27,18%fumadores consonantes y 9,73% fumadores disonantes), registrándoseun 22,19% de ex-fumadores y un 40,90% de nunca fumadores. Poredad, hubo un 48,3% de fumadores menores de 30 años, un 37,1% teníanentre 30 y 45, un 29,1% entre 45 y 60, y un 21,7% mayores de60 años (p < 0,01). Por sexo, fumaba un 32,9% de los hombres y un39,0% de las mujeres (p < 0,001); y por titulación, fumaban un 29,4%de los titulados superiores, frente a un 46,8% de los auxiliares de farmacia(p < 0,0001).Conclusiones: La prevalencia de fumadores en trabajadores de oficinasde farmacia en Aragón es ligeramente superior a la de la poblacióngeneral aragonesa y española; disminuye con la edad, siendo mayor enmujeres, y en auxiliares de farmacia


Objectives: Chemist’s workers is a group of sanitation people whichare in constant touch with general population. This is the reason why westudy prevalence of smoking in a population of chemist’s workers, asa whole and according to degree, gender and age.Material and methods:We studied a sample of 401 chemist’s workers,obtained among 662 pharmacies in Aragon by two-phases sampling,giving them an anonymous and self-managed questionnaire, thatallowed us to classify workers, in a larger study, into three groups: neversmokers, ex-smokers or smokers.Results: The prevalence of smoking was of a 36,91% (27,18% ofconsonant smokers and 9,73% of dissonant smokers), being reported a22,19% of ex-smokers and a 40,90% of never smokers. In accordanceto age, they smoked 48,3% under 30 years, 37,1% between 30 and 45years, 29,1% between 45 and 60 years and 21,7% over 60 years (p <0,01). In accordance to gender, the prevalence of smoking was of a 32,9%in men and a 39,0% in women (p < 0,001); and in accordance to degree,they smoked 29,4% of those who have an universitary degree, and 46,8%among chemist’s assistants (p < 0,0001).Conclusions: The prevalence of smoking in chemist’s workers inAragon is lightly higher than in Spain and Aragon population, it decreaseswith age, and it’s higher in women and chemist’s assistants

RESUMO

Durante los años 2000-2002, dentro de las actividades de la Unidad de Salud Buco-dental del Centro de Salud del Insalud de Barbastro, se realiza un estudio epidemiológico de caries sobre 1665 escolares con edades comprendidas entre los 6 y los 14 años. Se encuentra una prevalencia total del 41'49%, siendo a los 6 años del 33%, a los 12 del 57'14% y a los 14 años del 71'24%. Los índices CAO-D son de 0'06 a los 6 años, de 1'52 a los 12 y de 3'64 a los 14 años de edad. Al comparar con los índices de otras regiones de nuestro entorno, tenemos unos índices bajos a los 6 años, estamos en una zona media a los 12 años y muy altos a los 14. Siendo los índices de restauración a los 12 años bajos, y a los 14 muy bajos (AU)


The Oral Health Unit from Barbastro (Insalud Health Centre) completed between 2000 and 2002 an epidemiologic study of the tooth decay for 1,665 scholars between 6 and 14 years old. The global prevalence obtained totalled 41.49%. By age groups, it totalled 33% at 6, 57.14% at 12 and 71.24% at 14 years old. CAO-D index were 0.06 at 6, 1.52 at 12 and 3.64 at 14.When comparing these ratios with similar ratios from surrounding regions, we conclude that results obtained from our study are lower in the 6 years old group, similar in the 12 years old group and higher in the 14 years old group restauration ratios are lower at 12 years old and significantly lower at 14 years old (AU)

RESUMO

En el presente artículo se plantea un análisis crítico sobre la teoría desarrollada hasta la actualidad en el ámbito de la prevención de la accidentalidad laboral en su fase inicial o de previsión de accidentes, intentando distinguir la problemática y los vacíos existentes en la misma a nivel fenomenológico, conceptual y metodológico, base fundamental para el desarrollo y posterior aplicación de cualquier teoría científica. Se hace especial hincapié en las posibles orientaciones predictivas de la accidentalidad labora, actualmente sin desarrollo científico, proponiendo tres posibilidades de ámbito físico-matemático: sinóptica (basada en el análisis de las observaciones del suceso),estadística (basada en el análisis de registros del suceso) y dinámica (basada en el planteamiento y análisis de las leyes físico- biológicas que rigen este fenómeno natural) (AU)


In the present article a critical analysis appears on the theory developed up to the current importance in the area of the prevention of the labour accident rate in his initial phase or of forecast of accidents, trying to distinguish the problematic and the existing emptiness in the same one to level phenomenology, conceptual and methodologically, fundamental base for the development and later (posterior) application of any scientific theory. - Physicist - mathematician does special support to himself in the possible orientations predictive of the labour accident rate, nowadays without scientific development, proposing three possibilities of area. synoptic (based on the analysis of the observations of the event), statistics (based on the analysis of records of the event) and dynamics (based on the exposition (approach) and analysis of the physical - biological laws that govern this natural phenomenon (AU)

RESUMO

Realizamos la adaptación de Qolie-AD-48 al castellano mediante un proceso de traducción-retrotraducción. Para comprobar las propiedades psicométricas del nuevo instrumento se administró el cuestionario a 54 adolescentes epilépticos. Previamente realizamos un pretest a un grupo piloto. Verificamos la fiabilidad mediante el coeficiente a- Cronbach, y la validez de constructo mediante el análisis factorial de las subescalas y el estudio de la correlación con otras medidas externas. Comprobamos la capacidad del nuevo instrumento para diferenciar entre los distintos grupos de gravedad de la epilepsia. La versión española de Qolie-AD-48 ha demostrado poseer unas propiedades psicométricas de fiabilidad y validez comparables a las del original, por lo que consideramos esta escala adecuada para la medida de la calidad de vida de los adolescentes epilépticos (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and to investigate their associated cardiovascular risk factors in Aragón, Spain. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We performed a population-based cross-sectional study with stratified and purposive sampling of residents aged 10-74 years. A sample of 935 subjects (427 men and 508 women) was selected. All except those with a previous history of diabetes underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and World Health Organization (WHO) criteria were used for diagnosis of undiagnosed diabetes and IGT. Plasma lipid levels, blood pressure, BMI, and waist-to-hip ratio were also measured. RESULTS: The prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes and IGT was 3.1, 3.0, and 7.2%, respectively. In the age range of 30-64 years, the age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes (using the world population of Segi) was 7.1% in men and 5.6% in women. Both diabetes and IGT were associated with high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels, low HDL cholesterol levels, and overweight and upper-body fat distribution. Only upper-body fat distribution in women was significantly higher in subjects with diabetes than in subjects with IGT. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of diabetes in Aragón was moderately high (6.1%) and comparable with that reported in other white populations around the world. The proportion of unknown cases of diabetes was nearly 50%. Cardiovascular risk factors associated with diabetes and IGT supported the existence of an insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome, but there were not sufficient differences between diabetes and IGT to suggest a possible pathogenetic relation of hyperinsulinemia and associated risk factors.

RESUMO

A cross-sectional study on occupational noise exposure and hypercholesterolemia was conducted in a group of 1.209 workers exposed to industrial noise. Clinical examinations and audiograms were compared in exposed and not exposed subjects to noise. There was a strong relationship between severe noise induced hearing loss and hypercholesterolemia in all de workers. But the relationship was not convincing when the workers were considered stratified in groups of age, because the number of hard of hearing labourers with high levels of cholesterol, increases as they get older. The AA, support the point of view that the age is an important confounding factor, and in their study there is no relation between noise induced hearing loss and hypercholesterolemia.

RESUMO

A cross-sectional study of occupational noise exposure and high blood pressure was conducted in a group of 1584 workers. Clinical examination, audiograms, and body mass index were compared in exposed and not to noise finding a strong relationship between severe noise induced hearing loss and high blood pressure in all the staff, as it has been marked by different authors. But when we stratify the population in groups of age, we can't find any influence between noise exposure and hypertension, or between the appearing of high blood pressure and noise induced hearing loss.

RESUMO

A study of prevalent sensorial pathology (visual and/or auditive) is carried out among first-year primary school students in Zaragoza city by means of a follow-up of those cases with possible pathologies detected during the School Health Campaign of 1986-87. The questionnaire sent out gathered the following information: sex of the child examined; prior information in the family about possible problem detected; existence of family history of sensorial pathologies;: child's awareness and manifestation of problem's existence; final solution of the problem detected; place where solution was given; confirmation of the diagnosis given by the school inspection teams, treatments prescribed; specialists consulted and need for later revision of the sensorial problem. We received 403 valid questionnaires which make up the final sample, on which computerised statistical processing was carried out by means of the chi square test with a 5 por 100 error margin to check the dependence of all the variables contained in the questionnaire. Systematically performed health inspections promote infant health and prevent illness. Their value resides not so much in the extent that they note possible pathological cases, a task which might be taken on by Primary Health Care, but in the fact that they provide indices of results which when studied and analysed indicate the prevalence thus giving a starting point for more specific programmes to be developed.
