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

Selection of the priority tuberculosis (TB) research topics in Peru occurred in three stages: a literature review of TB research findings and information in Peru; proposal of the most important topics by 31 key investigators identified through 233 articles published between 1981 and 2011,16 (48.5%) of the 33 regional coordinators of the National Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Strategy, and influential 16 academics and officials in the area of TB; and a participatory workshop attended by 103 health professionals and officials grouped under 10 thematic discussion groups. Of the 49 research topics identified in the second stage of the process, the 30 most important ones for Peru were selected and prioritized during the workshop. These topics, selected through this inclusive, transparent, and participatory methodology, became the National Tuberculosis Research Agenda in Peru for 2011 - 2014. These results should help to improve TB control strategies in the country and optimize the use of financial and human resources.

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

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

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.


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.

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.

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

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.


La COVID-19 ha afectado la conducción de los ensayos clínicos a nivel mundial. Iniciada la emergencia sanitaria en Perú, el gobierno nacional tomó medidas para promover y garantizar la realización de los ensayos clínicos en COVID-19. Se conformó un comité de ética nacional exclusivo para ensayos clínicos COVID-19 y se implementó una regulación para asegurar la realización ética y oportuna de ensayos clínicos. Hasta el 31 de diciembre del 2020, el Instituto Nacional de Salud autorizó 29 ensayos clínicos, de los cuales cinco evalúan vacunas. El tiempo promedio y desviación estándar de la autorización fue 19,3 y 10,5 días, respectivamente. El 58,6% (n= 17) fueron ensayos clínicos fase II y el 34,5% (n= 10) fueron fase III; el 31,0% (n= 9) tuvo como patrocinador a una institución peruana. La finalidad de las acciones implementadas fue promover la investigación para la COVID-19, respondiendo a las necesidades y tiempos de la emergencia sanitaria, sin afectar la protección de los participantes ni la rigurosidad de los estudios.

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

OBJETIVES: To measure the scientific production of the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Perú (INS) through bibliometric indicators of production, collaboration and impact. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bibliometric study of original publications from journals indexed in Scopus and Scielo Peru in the period between 1998 and 2018. The production indicators were: the number of publications per year and per subperiod (1998-2008 and 2009- 2018), by theme, and by journal. The collaboration indicators were: the co-authorship index, the number of institutional signatures, the national and international collaboration rate, the proportion of first-time authorship with INS affiliation. The impact indicators were: the number of citations per year, citation/document index, the proportion of documents ever cited and the citation speed. RESULTS: A total of 618 publications had at least one author with INS affiliation. From these, 55.9% (346/618) were published in Peruvian scientific journals and 30 INS authors were major producers. From the publications total, 49.0% (303/618) had a first author with INS affiliation. Regarding the subject of investigation, 132 (21.4%) publications were on vector-borne diseases; 9.7% (60), on tuberculosis; and 9.5% (59), on zoonoses. The international collaboration rate was 38.8%. The ratio of citations/documents was 12.8 for the entire period. The H index of publications with INS participation was 37. CONCLUSIONS: In the last two decades, the contribution of the INS was focused on infectious diseases. On the other hand, it is required to strengthen the productivity indexes of INS authors, as well as consolidating the new thematic lines that they have developed in the last decade. This effort will allow the INS to improve its function as a public research institute.


OBJETIVOS: Medir la producción científica del Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS) mediante indicadores bibliométricos de producción, colaboración e impacto. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio bibliométrico de publicaciones originales en revistas indizadas en Scopus y Scielo Perú en el periodo 1998-2018. Los indicadores de producción fueron el número de publicaciones por año y por subperiodos (1998-2008 y 2009-2018), por temática, y por revista de publicación. Los indicadores de colaboración fueron el índice de coautoría, el índice de número de firmas institucionales, la tasa de colaboración nacional e internacional, la proporción de primeria autoría con filiación del INS. Los indicadores de impacto fueron el número de citaciones por año, índice citas/documento, la proporción de documentos alguna vez citados y la velocidad de citación. RESULTADOS: 618 publicaciones tuvieron al menos un autor con filiación INS. El 55,9% (346/618) fue publicado en revistas científicas peruanas. 30 autores del INS fueron grandes productores. El 49,0% (303/618) de las publicaciones tuvo al primer autor con filiación INS. 132 (21,4%) publicaciones fueron sobre enfermedades transmitidas por vectores; 9,7% (60), sobre tuberculosis; y 9,5% (59), sobre zoonosis. La tasa de colaboración internacional fue de 38,8%. La razón citas/documentos fue de 12,8 para todo el periodo. El índice H de las publicaciones con participación del INS fue 37. CONCLUSIONES: En las últimas dos décadas, la contribución del INS estuvo centrada en las enfermedades infecciosas. Por otro lado, requiere fortalecer los índices de productividad de sus autores, así como consolidar las nuevas líneas temáticas que han desarrollado en la última década. Este esfuerzo permitirá mejorar su función como instituto público de investigación.

RESUMO

Scientific institutions and their achievements are built on people and their stories. In this case, Dr. César Náquira Velarde constitutes a prominent figure in Peru's public health, to which he contributed until days before his departure at 85 years of age. Dr. Náquira actively participated in the founding of the Daniel A. Carrión Institute of Tropical Medicine of the National University of San Marcos from where - through re search and teaching - he has trained doctors and specialists in the field of parasitology and tropical medici ne. However, his greatest contribution was in the study of Chagas disease. He also served as a public official and decision maker, as he was head of the National Institute of Health of Peru and permanent technical advisor of the Ministry of Health of Peru, in the areas of his specialty. We highlight his role as a teacher for many generations of doctors and his authority as an expert in the field of medical parasitology.


Las instituciones científicas y sus logros se construyen a partir de las personas y sus historias. En este caso, el Dr. César Náquira Velarde es una personalidad destacada en la salud pública del Perú, a la que contribuyó hasta días antes de su partida a los 85 años de edad. El Dr. Náquira participó activamente en la fundación del Instituto de Medicina Tropical Daniel A. Carrión de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos desde donde −a través de la investigación y docencia− ha formado médicos y especialistas en el campo de la parasitología y medicina tropical. Sin embargo, su mayor contribución y aporte fue en el estudio de la enfermedad de Chagas. También se desempeñó como funcionario público y decisor, pues fue jefe del Instituto Nacional de Salud y permanente asesor técnico del Ministerio de Salud del Perú, en los temas de su especialidad. Destacamos su rol como maestro para muchas generaciones de médicos y su autoridad como experto en el campo de la parasitología médica.

RESUMO

The Peruvian Journal of Experimental Medicine and Public Health (RPMESP) was first published in 1942 under the name Journal of Experimental Medicine. Since then, it has been the official scientific dissemination vehicle of the Peruvian National Institute of Health, which was founded in 1936. Telémaco Battistini Sánchez was directly involved in both historical events. Based on some passages of his personal history and on the historical juncture of global and Latin American science between 1865 and 1950, we can understand why the term "experimental medicine" is used in the name of said journal. The aim of this article is to describe a series of events in the history of science which started off in Europe and continued in Peru and triggered the decision to give the name 'Journal of Experimental Medicine' to a journal that since its inception has published observational studies-more so in recent decades-, especially in the field of public health, while the number of publications of studies in experimental medicine has drastically decreased.


La Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública (RPMESP) fue publicada por primera vez en 1942 con el nombre de Revista de Medicina Experimental, desde entonces ha sido el órgano de difusión científica del Instituto Nacional de Salud del Perú, el cual fue fundado años previos en 1936. En ambos acontecimientos históricos estuvo directamente involucrado Telémaco Battistini Sánchez. A partir de algunos pasajes de su historia personal y de la coyuntura histórica de la ciencia mundial y latinoamericana ocurrida entre 1865 y 1950, podemos comprender el porqué del uso del término «medicina experimental¼ en el nombre de dicha revista. El objetivo del artículo es describir una serie de eventos de la historia de la ciencia, que iniciaron en Europa y continuaron en el Perú, y que desencadenó la decisión de denominar como Revista de Medicina Experimental, a una revista que desde sus inicios ha publicado estudios observacionales, más aún en las últimas décadas, especialmente en el campo en el campo de la salud pública, mientras que las publicaciones de estudios en medicina experimental se han reducido drásticamente.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción. El alfabetismo científico comprende habilidades para explicar los fenómenos científicamente, evaluar la ciencia e interpretar sus resultados. Para asegurar su correcta medición es necesario disponer de herramientas validadas en diversos idiomas. Objetivo. Adaptar y validar, al español del Perú, un instrumento para medir las habilidades en alfabetismo científico en estudiantes de medicina. Métodos. La adaptación cultural del Test of Scientific Literacy Skills (TOSLS) tuvo seis pasos. Primero, una traducción independiente y simultánea del inglés al español. Luego, síntesis de ambas traducciones y traducción inversa, seguida de la comparación con la versión original y su retrotraducción. Luego, se realizó una prueba piloto y un estudio transversal con estudiantes de medicina en Lima, Perú. El último paso comprendió la evaluación psicométrica utilizando el modelo de Rasch. El instrumento tuvo 28 preguntas de opción múltiple con una única respuesta correcta. Resultados. Enrolamos 300 estudiantes. El coeficiente Kuder-Richadson fue 0,742. Los ítems mostraron unidimensionalidad e independencia local (MADaQ3 = 0,054). El ítem 12 fue el más difícil, el 5 resultó el más fácil. Los estadísticos infit y outfit de los ítems estuvieron en el rango de 0,7 a 1,3 logits. La curva de función de información brindó información con mayor precisión en el nivel de habilidad ubicado entre -1 y 0 logits. Hubo correspondencia entre la dificultad de los ítems y la habilidad en alfabetismo científico. Conclusión. La versión en español mantuvo los 28 ítems del TOSLS original y tuvo aceptable consistencia interna. Los ítems tuvieron propiedades aceptables, independientemente de la habilidad en alfabetismo científico de los estudiantes.


ABSTRACT Introduction. Scientific literacy comprises skills to explain phenomena scientifically, evaluate science and interpret its results. Validated tools in different languages are needed to ensure their correct measurement. Objective. To adapt and validate, to Peruvian Spanish, an instrument to measure scientific literacy skills in medical students. Methods. The cultural adaptation of the Test of Scientific Literacy Skills (TOSLS) into Spanish had six steps. First, an independent, simultaneous translation from English into Spanish was performed. Then, both translations were synthesised and back-translated, followed by comparison with the original version and back-translation. This was followed by a pilot test and a cross-sectional study with medical students in Lima, Peru. The last step involved psychometric evaluation using the Rasch model. The instrument consisted of 28 multiple-choice questions with only one correct answer. Results. 300 students were enrolled. The Kuder-Richadson coefficient was 0.742. The items showed unidimensionality and local independence (MADaQ3 = 0.054). Item 12 was the most difficult, while item 5 was the easiest. The infit and outfit statistics of the items were in the range of 0.7 to 1.3 logits. The test information function provided information with greater precision at skill levels between -1 and 0 logits. There was a correspondence between item difficulty and scientific literacy ability. Conclusion. The Spanish version retained the 28 items of the original TOSLS and had acceptable internal consistency. The items had acceptable properties, independently of students' scientific literacy ability.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: . To estimate coverage and determine factors associated with measles vaccination in Peru. MATERIALS AND METHODS: . We conducted a secondary source study using the 2017 Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES). The reporting unit was a woman of childbearing age, 15 to 49 years; the unit of analysis was a child, 12 to 59 months (for the first dose), or a child, 18 to 59 months (for the booster dose) who had vaccination information. Coverage data were obtained from the vaccination card. RESULTS: . According to the vaccination card, coverage for the first dose was 70.2% (95% CI: 68.8-71.6); for the booster dose, 52% (95% CI: 50.5-53.6). Children aged 24-35 months were more likely to be vaccinated for the first dose (OR 1.59, 95% CI: 1.28-1.97) and booster dose (OR 2.04, 95% CI: 1.62-2.56), compared with children aged 12-23 months and 18-23 months respectively. Children with growth and development check-ups performed in the private sector were less likely to be vaccinated for the first dose (OR 0.30, 95% CI: 0.21-0.43) and booster dose (OR 0.26, 95% CI: 0.17-0.40), compared to those being monitored in the public sector. CONCLUSIONS: . According to ENDES 2017, Peru and none of its regions achieved 95.0% coverage for the first and booster doses. Growth and development monitoring in public sector facilities is associated with measles vaccination in terms of first and booster doses.


OBJETIVOS: . Estimar la cobertura y determinar los factores asociados a la vacunación contra el sarampión en Perú. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: . Realizamos un estudio de fuente secundaria utilizando la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES) del 2017, la unidad informante fue una mujer en edad fértil de 15 a 49 años; la unidad de análisis fue un niño de 12 a 59 meses (para la primera dosis) o niño de 18 a 59 meses (para la dosis de refuerzo) y que contaba con datos de vacunación. Los datos de cobertura fueron obtenidos de la tarjeta de vacunación. RESULTADOS: . Según la tarjeta de vacunación, la cobertura para la primera dosis fue del 70,2% (IC95%: 68,8-71,6), para la dosis de refuerzo del 52,0% (IC95%: 50,5-53,6). Los niños de 24-35 meses tuvieron más probabilidades de ser vacunados para la primera dosis (OR: 1,59; IC95%: 1,28-1,97) y dosis de refuerzo (OR:2,04; IC95%: 1,62-2,56) comparado con los niños de 12-23 meses y 18-23 meses respectivamente. Los niños cuyo control de crecimiento y desarrollo fue en el sector privado tuvieron menores probabilidades de ser vacunados para la primera dosis (OR: 0,30; IC95%: 0,21-0,43) y dosis de refuerzo (OR: 0,26; IC95%: 0,17-0,40) comparado con los que se controlaron en el sector público. CONCLUSIONES: . Según la ENDES 2017, Perú y ninguna de sus regiones alcanzó una cobertura del 95,0% para la primera dosis y su refuerzo. El control de crecimiento y desarrollo en establecimientos del sector público está asociado con la vacunación de sarampión en su primera dosis y refuerzo.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To characterize, by means of bibliometric indicators, the scientific publications of the Peruvian Experimental Medicine and Public Health Journal, 2010-2017. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A bibliometric study in which the publications were retrieved from the data base of Scopus. The bibliometric production indicators were: number of publications per year and type of publication. Brief original and original articles were considered as units of analysis based on number of authors, institutional affiliation, and country of corresponding author, type of research and study design. The impact indicators were: number of citations by publication according to Scopus, metric of impact, such as CiteScore, Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR), and SciELO Public Health. RESULTS: A total of 1,045 publications were made by the RPMESP: 40.1% of publications corresponded to original articles and original briefs; 1,837 authors contributed with these publications; 134 institutional affiliations were declared by the corresponding authors; 48,0% were research works on determinants of a health problem; on the other hand, 90.5% corresponded to observational studies. The publications analyzed received 945 citations, of which 78.5% were for publications for the 2010-2013 period. CONCLUSIONS: Four of ten publications of the RPMESP correspond to brief original or original articles. According to diverse formulas of calculation, the impact metric of the RPMESP shows an ascending trend; however, their magnitude is lower versus other regional journals.

RESUMO

Traditionally, research institutions have focused their efforts on generating scientific knowledge and disseminating it through traditional mechanisms such as scientific publications. Recently, several Latin American countries, through entities dedicated to the promotion of Science, Technology, and Innovation, are promoting the development of scientific culture in the general population, through various strategies of dissemination, popularization, or scientific appropriation. The National Institute of Health has implemented strategies of scientific divulgation, such as programs of educational visits in museums, divulgation in social networks and events of scientific divulgation. Scientific dissemination requires the development of new strategies or the adaptation of models implemented in countries of the region. It is important to implement new spaces and technologies that bring science closer to the community, such as new thematic museums or open laboratories, as well as the improvement of capacities in researchers and scientists for the adequate dissemination and effective communication of their research results.


Tradicionalmente las instituciones de investigación han centrado sus esfuerzos en la generación de conocimiento científico y en la difusión de ellos mediante mecanismos tradicionales como las publicaciones científicas. Recientemente, diversos países de Latinoamérica a través de las entidades dedicadas al fomento de la Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación están promocionando el desarrollo de la cultura científica en la población general, mediante diversas estrategias de divulgación, popularización, o apropiación científica. El Instituto Nacional de Salud ha implementado estrategias de divulgación científica, como programas de visitas educativas en museos, divulgación en redes sociales y eventos de divulgación científica. La divulgación científica requiere el desarrollo de nuevas estrategias o la adaptación de modelos implementados en países de la región. Es importante la implementación de nuevos espacios y tecnologías que acerquen la ciencia a la comunidad, como nuevos museos temáticos o laboratorios abiertos; y la mejora de capacidades en investigadores y científicos para la adecuada divulgación y comunicación efectiva de sus resultados de investigación.

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

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.
