Factores de riesgo y evolución del calcio y hormona paratiroidea en el síndrome de hueso hambriento tras paratiroidectomía por hiperparatiroidismo primario / Risk factors and evolution of calcium and parathyroid hormone levels in hungry bone syndrome after parthyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism

INTRODUCCIÓN: El síndrome del hueso hambriento (SHH) es una complicación tras la cirugía paratiroidea que puede causar una hipocalcemia grave y prolongada. El objetivo fue conocer los factores de riesgo de SHH después de la cirugía por hiperparatiroidismo primario y su relación con los niveles de calcio sérico y de hormona paratiroidea (PTH). MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio analítico observacional de casos y controles en pacientes operados por hiperparatiroidismo primario en los últimos 10 años (2008-2017). Se estudió la evolución analítica del calcio, la PTH y las características generales de los pacientes. RESULTADOS: La incidencia de SHH en nuestra serie fue del 12,2%. Se encontró una asociación significativa de SHH con la cirugía tiroidea en el mismo acto quirúrgico (odds ratio ajustada [ORa] = 17,241), con la edad mayor de 68 años (Ora = 6,666) y con el tamaño de la lesión mayor a 1,7cm (Ora = 7.165). Observamos una relación estadísticamente significativa entre presentar SHH con un valor mayor a la media de calcio sérico corregido el día después de la cirugía, a la semana y a los 3 meses, así como con un valor mayor de la media de PTH preoperatoria, en la cirugía y un día después de la cirugía. CONCLUSIÓN: Los factores de riesgo independientes para el desarrollo de SHH en nuestra serie fueron la edad del paciente, el tamaño de la lesión y si la intervención se acompaña de cirugía tiroidea, lo que obliga a una monitorización más estrecha del metabolismo mineral durante el perioperatorio

INTRODUCTION: Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a complication occurring after parathyroid surgery that can cause severe and prolonged hypocalcemia. The study objective was to know the risk factors for HBS after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism and its relationship with serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A case-control, observational, analytical study was conducted in patients who had undergone surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism in the past 10 years (2007-2016). Changes over time in serum calcium and PTH levels and the general characteristics of patients were analyzed. RESULTS: The incidence rate of HBS in our series was 12.2%. HBS was found to be significantly associated to thyroid surgery during the surgical procedure itself (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 17.241), to age older than 68 years (aOR = 6.666), and to lesions greater than 1.7cm (aOR = 7.165). A statistically significant relationship was seen between presence of HBS and corrected serum calcium levels higher than the mean the day after surgery and one week and 3 months later, and also with PTH levels higher than the mean before, during, and one day after surgery. CONCLUSIÓN: In our series, independent risk factors for development of HBS included patient age, lesion size, and whether or not the procedure was accompanied by thyroid surgery, which requires closer monitoring of mineral metabolism during the perioperative period

Concordancia entre las escalas de predicción de riesgo de tromboembolia venosa / Concordance among venous thromboembolism risk assessment models

Antecedentes y objetivos: Existen numerosas escalas cuyo objetivo es predecir el riesgo individual de enfermedad tromboembólica venosa (ETV), si bien la mayoría de ellas no se han validado externamente. El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue analizar la concordancia entre las escalas de Padua, PRETEMED, IMPROVE y los criterios de inclusión del estudio MEDENOX. Pacientes y método: Estudio observacional de cohortes con 602 pacientes ingresados en servicios médicos del Hospital Universitario Santa Lucía. Se calculó la concordancia mediante el índice kappa (IK) entre las 4 escalas de predicción de riesgo y se recogieron las ETV ocurridas en los 90 días siguientes a la hospitalización. Resultados: Se consideraron pacientes de alto riesgo de presentar ETV el 78, 56, 69 y 59% de los pacientes según las escalas Padua, PRETEMED, IMPROVE y MEDENOX, respectivamente. Se observó un IK=0,60 entre las escalas Padua-IMPROVE; IK=0,44 entre IMPROVE-PRETEMED, IK=0,43 entre PRETEMED-MEDENOX, IK=0,33 entre Padua-PRETEMED, IK=0,27 entre IMPROVE-MEDENOX y un IK=0,24 entre Padua-MEDENOX. Durante el seguimiento se observaron 9 casos de ETV (1,5%). Conclusiones: El mayor grado de concordancia se determinó entre las escalas Padua e IMPROVE. No existe buena concordancia entre ninguna de las escalas de predicción de riesgo de ETV en pacientes médicos. La escala Padua fue la que mejor predijo los episodios de ETV a los 90 días entre los pacientes clasificados de alto riesgo (AU)

Background and objectives: There are a lot of venous thromboembolism risk assessment models with the aim of predicting the individual risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), although most have not been externally validated. The objective of our study was to analyse the concordance among the Padua, PRETEMED, IMPROVE and MEDENOX scores. Patients and methods: Observational cohort study with 602 patients admitted to Medical Services of the Hospital Universitario Santa Lucía. Concordance was calculated using the kappa index (KI) between the four risk prediction scales and the VTE occurring within 90 days of hospitalisation. Results: Patients considered were those with a high risk of VTE, 78%, 56%, 69% and 59% according to Padua, PRETEMED, IMPROVE and MEDENOX scores respectively. A KI=0.60 was observed among Padua-IMPROVE scores; KI=0.44 among IMPROVE-PRETEMED, KI=0.43 among PRETEMED-MEDENOX, KI=0.33 among Padua-PRETEMED, KI=0.27 among IMPROVE-MEDENOX and a KI=0.24 among Padua-MEDENOX. During follow-up, nine cases of VTE (1.5%) were observed. Conclusions: The highest degree of agreement was observed among the Padua and IMPROVE scores. There is no good agreement between any of the predictive risk scales for VTE in medical patients. The Padua score was the best predictor of VTE episodes at 90 days among high risk patients (AU)
