RESUMO

Introducción: El consumo de medicamentos antihipertensivos se relaciona con la aparición de múltiples enfermedades bucales en los ancianos. Objetivo: Caracterizar a adultos mayores con enfermedades bucales y medicación antihipertensiva. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación observacional, descriptiva y transversal de 79 adultos mayores con enfermedades bucales y medicación antihipertensiva, asistidos en el Servicio de Estomatología del Policlínico 14 de Junio, de la provincia de Las Tunas, desde enero de 2021 hasta igual mes de 2022. Entre las variables analizadas figuraron: edad, sexo, medicamento consumido (según grupo antihipertensivo) y presencia de enfermedad bucal. Se emplearon métodos teóricos (analítico-sintético e inductivo-deductivo), empíricos (observación y encuesta) y estadísticos (estadística descriptiva). Se utilizó el porcentaje como medida de resumen. Resultados: En la serie predominaron el sexo femenino (63,3 %) y el grupo etario de 60-69 años (48,1 %). Se observó que los grupos de antihipertensivos más utilizados fueron los diuréticos tiazídicos, los inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina y los bloqueadores de los canales de calcio, de los cuales los medicamentos más consumidos resultaron ser la hidroclorotiazida (90,0 %), el captopril (47,0 %) y el nifedipino (20,0 %), respectivamente. Asimismo, al analizar la presencia de enfermedades bucales se obtuvo una primacía de la caries dental (90,0 %), las periodontopatías (87,3 %) y la xerostomía (57,0 %). Conclusiones: Los adultos mayores con enfermedades bucales y medicación antihipertensiva, en particular las féminas y el grupo etario de 60-69 años, se caracterizaron por consumir fármacos antihipertensivos de primera generación y por presentar enfermedades bucales frecuentes.


Introduction: The consumption of antihypertensive medications is related to the emergence of multiple oral diseases in the elderly. Objective: To characterize the elderly with oral diseases and antihypertensive medication. Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional investigation was carried out of 79 elderly with oral diseases and antihypertensive medication, assisted in the Stomatology Service of 14 de Junio Polyclinic, in Las Tunas province, from January, 2021 to the same month in 2022. Among the analyzed variables we can mention: age, sex, consumed medication (according to antihypertensive group) and presence of oral disease. Theoretical methods (analytic-synthetic and inductive-deductive), empiric (observation and surveys) and statistical (descriptive statistic) were used. The percentage was used as summary measure. Results: In the series there was prevalence of the female sex (63.3 %) and the 60-69 age group (48.1 %). It was observed that the most used antihypertensive groups were the thiazidic diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and blocker of the calcium channels; among these, the most consumed medications were hydrochlorothiazide (90.0 %), captopril (47.0 %) and nifedipine (20.0 %), respectively. Also, when analyzing the presence of oral diseases a primacy of dental decay (90.0 %), periodontopaties (87.3 %) and xerostomia was obtained (57.0 %). Conclusions: Elderly with oral diseases and antihypertensive medication, in particular females and the 60-69 age group were characterized by the consumption of first generation antihypertensive drugs and the presence of frequent oral diseases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Trend data on hypertension prevalence and attainment indicators at each step of the care cascade (awareness, treatment, control) are required in Chile. This study aims to quantify trends (2003-2017) in prevalence and in the proportion of individuals with hypertension attaining each step of the care cascade among adults aged 17 years or older, and to assess the impact of lowering the blood pressure (BP) thresholds used to define elevated BP on these indicators. METHODS: We used data from 2003, 2010, and 2017 Chilean national health surveys. Each year we assessed levels of (1) mean systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, (2) hypertension prevalence (BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg or use of antihypertensive treatment), and (3) awareness, treatment, and control. Logistic regression on pooled data was used to assess trends in binary outcomes; linear regression was used to assess trends in continuous SBP and DBP. We compared levels of hypertension prevalence using two sources to ascertain antihypertensive treatment (self-reported versus medicine inventory). The 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines were used to re-define hypertension using lower thresholds (BP ≥ 130/80 mmHg). RESULTS: Hypertension prevalence was 34.0, 32.0 and 30.8% in 2003, 2010 and 2017, respectively. Levels of treated- and controlled-hypertension were significantly higher in 2017 than in 2003 (65% versus 41% for treatment, P < 0.001; 34% versus 14% for control, P < 0.001), while levels of awareness were stable (66% versus 59%, P = 0.130). Awareness, treatment, and control levels were higher among females in 2003, 2010, and 2017 (P < 0.001). Mean SBP and DBP decreased over the 15-year period, except for SBP among females on treatment. Adopting the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines would increase hypertension prevalence by 17 and 55% in absolute and relative terms, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Chile has experienced a positive population-wide lowering in blood pressure distribution which may be explained partly by a significant rise in levels of treated- and controlled-hypertension since 2003. Lowering the thresholds used to define elevated BP would substantially increase the financial public health challenge of further improving attainment levels at each step of the care cascade. Innovative and collaborative strategies are needed to improve hypertension management, especially among males.

RESUMO

La COVID-19 es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por el coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, que afecta de forma más grave a personas en edades avanzadas de la vida y a pacientes con inmunodepresión y/o afecciones crónicas, como la hipertensión arterial, de gran significación en la mortalidad por enfermedades cardiovasculares y cerebrovasculares. Con este artículo se buscó actualizar los conocimientos sobre el nivel de gravedad de la COVID-19 en pacientes hipertensos y su asociación con el consumo de fármacos antihipertensivos de los grupos de los inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de la angiotensina y los antagonistas de los receptores de la angiotensina II. Asimismo, se ofrecen evidencias científicas acerca de que la hipertensión arterial es un predictor clínico de gravedad en pacientes con dicha enfermedad infecciosa, lo cual se manifiesta sobre todo en las edades mayores de 60 años, y de que la suspensión de forma preventiva de los mencionados tratamientos antihipertensivos puede conducir a inestabilidad clínica y a resultados desfavorables.


COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that affects people in advanced ages of life, patients with immunodepression and/or chronic affections, as hypertension, in a more serious way, being the latter of great significance in the mortality due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. With this work we wanted to update the knowledge on the COVID-19 serious condition level in hypertensive patients and its association with the consumption of antihypertensive drugs of the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and antagonists of angiotensin II receptors groups. In the same way, scientific evidences are offered on the fact that hypertension is a clinical predictor of a serious condition in patients with this infectious disease, that is manifested mainly in people older than 60 years, and that the suspension in a preventive way of the mentioned antihypertensive treatments can lead to clinical instability and unfavorable results.

Objetivo: Caracterizar clínica y epidemiológicamente la hipertensión arterial en pacientes hipertensos. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte longitudinal prospectivo. El universo estuvo constituido por 193 pacientes hipertensos de la población del consultorio 7 del Policlínico: Aleida Fernández Chardiet, en el período comprendido entre enero y diciembre del año 2017. Se utilizaron distribuciones de frecuencias, cálculos porcentuales y medidas de tendencia central. Resultados: Del total de pacientes, 48,7 por ciento pertenecía al grupo de edad 40 y 59 años. Predominaron las féminas (112/58,03 por ciento) y los pacientes de piel negra (36,8 por ciento). El factor de riesgo modificable que predominó fue el tabaquismo, presente en 62,7 por ciento 55,4 por ciento presentó cifras de tensión arterial controladas. La mayoría usaba 2 fármacos antihipertensivos (44,6 por ciento). Conclusiones: La hipertensión arterial en el adulto es mejor controlada a menor edad y cuando se utilizan dos fármacos. El principal factor de riesgo de los hipertensos fue el tabaquismo(AU)


Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most important medical problems of contemporary medicine in developed countries and it has been named the silent plague of the twenty-first century. Objective: To describe clinical and epidemiologically arterial hypertension in hypertensive patients. Methods: An observational, descriptive and prospective longitudinal study was carried out. The sample was of 193 hypertensive patients of the population belonging to the Family Doctor's office num. 7, Aleyda Fernández Chardiet Teaching Polyclinic, in the period between January and December, 2017. Frequency distributions, percentage calculations and measures of central tendency were used. Results: Of the total number of patients, 48.7 percent belonged to the age group from 40 to 59 years. There was a predominance of females (112; 58.03 percent) and patients with black skin (36.8 percent). The predominant modifiable risk factor was smoking habit that was present in the 62.7 percent; while the 55.4 percent presented controlled blood pressure´s numbers. Most of the patients used two antihypertensive drugs (44.6 percent). Conclusions: Hypertension in adults is better controlled at a lower age and when using two drugs. The main risk factor of hypertensive patients was smoking habit(AU)

RESUMO

Although blood pressure control is a major goal in chronic kidney disease, no worldwide overview of either its achievement or antihypertensive prescriptions is currently available. To evaluate this we compared crude prevalence of uncontrolled blood pressure among 17 cohort studies, including 34 602 individuals with estimated glomerular filtration rate under 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and treated hypertension across four continents, and estimated observed to expected prevalence ratios, adjusted for potential confounders. Crude prevalence of blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg or more varied from 28% to 61% and of blood pressure of 130/80 or more from 54% to 84%. Adjusted prevalence ratios indicated poorer hypertension control than expected in cohorts from European countries, India, and Uruguay, and better control in patients from North American and high-income Asian countries. Four antihypertensive drug classes or more were prescribed to more than 30% of participants in North American and some European cohorts, but this practice was less common elsewhere. Renin angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors were the most common antihypertensive drugs, prescribed for 54% to 91% of cohort participants. Differences for other drug classes were much stronger, ranging from 11% to 79% for diuretics, 22% to 70% for beta-blockers, and 27% to 75% for calcium-channel blockers. The confounders studied explain only a part of the international variation in blood pressure control among individuals with chronic kidney disease. Thus, considerable heterogeneity in prescription patterns worldwide calls for further investigation into the impact of different approaches on patient outcomes.

RESUMO

En 2013 se realizó un estudio de evaluación para determinar la eficiencia económica del tratamiento antihipertensivo en pacientes mayores de 15 años de uno u otro sexo, pertenecientes a 2 áreas de salud del municipio de Santiago de Cuba desde las perspectivas social e institucional. Mediante un muestreo no probabilístico se escogió una muestra de 700 integrantes y se estimaron los costos directos, indirectos y totales para cada alternativa terapéutica. La medida de efectividad se basó en las razones de costo - efectividad y efectividad incremental. Desde las mencionadas perspectivas, el costo promedio de la asistencia al paciente hipertenso en el Policlínico Universitario "Julián Grimau García" fue superior al del "Dr. Carlos J. Finlay", debido a que en el primero resultó más costosa la atención secundaria de salud en comparación con el segundo. En el área de salud "Julián Grimau García" se logró ser más eficientes en el control de la hipertensión arterial, tanto en los costos promedios como incrementales. La mayor efectividad compensó el costo adicional, principalmente desde el punto de vista institucional


An evaluation study to determine the economic efficiency of the antihypertensive treatment in patients over 15 years from both sexes, belonging to 2 health areas of the municipality of Santiago de Cuba was carried out in 2013 from the social and institutional perspectives. By means of a non probabilistic sampling a sample of 700 members was chosen and the direct, indirect and totals costs for each therapeutic alternative were considered. The measure of effectiveness was based on the cost - effectiveness and increasing effectiveness reasons. From the mentioned perspectives, the average cost of the hypertensive patient assistance in "Julián Grimau García" University Polyclinic was higher than that of "Dr. Carlos J. Finlay" polyclinic, because in the first one the secondary health care was more expensive in comparison with the second. In the "Julián Grimau García" health area was possible to be more efficient in the control of hypertension, either in the average or increasing costs. The higher effectiveness compensated the additional cost, mainly from the institutional point of view

RESUMO

Introducción: La relevancia del estudio de las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles se explica principalmente por la cantidad de muertes que generan en la población mundial, incluida la Argentina. El presente artículo pretende brindar una perspectiva desde el Programa RemediAR + Redes de la Hipertensión Arterial Primaria (HTA) en la provincia de Buenos Aires, a partir del tratamiento farmacológico de la enfermedad indicado a los usuarios de los centros de salud. Material y método: Las principales fuentes de información fueron los formularios diseñados por RemediAR + Redes para su utilización en los centros de salud, y fuentes secundarias tales como el CENSO 2010 y la Encuesta Nacional de Factores de Riesgo del año 2009. Resultados: En el período abril de 2007 a marzo de 2008, el 13.4% de las recetas tuvieron como diagnóstico HTA, con la indicación de enalapril en casi tres de cada cuatro de esta recetas. En promedio, los usuarios de RemediAR + Redes con HTA recibieron 6 tratamientos anuales, con algunas diferencias significativas al realizar comparaciones por región. Conclusiones: El avance en términos de provisión de medicamentos para garantizar el acceso a quienes lo necesitan, requiere actualmenteun nuevo estadio basado principalmente en el seguimiento de la población con HTA.


Introduction: The relevance of the study of non-communicable chronic diseases is mainly explained by the number of deaths they cause in the global population, including Argentina. This article aims to provide an insight into Primary Hypertension (HT) in the province of Buenos Aires. The analy-sis was based on the drug treatment indicated for the pathology to users of health centers under the RemediAR + Redes Program. Methods: The main sources of information were the forms designed by RemediAR + Redes, which are used in health centers. Other sources were the 2010 Census and the 2009 Encuesta Nacional de Factores de Riesgo (National Survey of Risk Factors). Results: In the period April 2007 to March 2008, the diagnosis in 13.4% of prescriptions was hypertension, with Enalapril being indicated in nearly 3 out of 4 of these prescriptions. On average, RemediAR + Redes users with hypertension received 6 treatments per year, with some significant differences by region. Conclusions:Progress in terms of provision of drugs mainly requires monitoring of the population with hypertension.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Evaluar el control de la hipertensión arterial y su relación con algunas variables clínicas y bioquímicas, en personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 de Bayamo, provincia Granma. Métodos: estudio descriptivo transversal con 382 pacientes diabéticos tipo 2, además hipertensos, ingresados en el Centro de Atención al Diabético de Bayamo, Granma, en el período comprendido entre septiembre de 2011 y mayo de 2013. Los pacientes se dividieron en 2 grupos, atendiendo al control de la hipertensión arterial: controlados y no controlados. Resultados: al final del ingreso 345 pacientes con diabetes (90,3 por ciento) obtuvieron un control óptimo de la presión arterial. Para lograr este objetivo fue necesario utilizar 2 o más medicamentos en el 68,4 por ciento de los casos. Los diabéticos que no alcanzaron un buen control de la presión arterial (9,7 por ciento), tenían una edad y un tiempo de evolución de la diabetes significativamente mayor que aquellos que sí lo consiguieron (p= 0,0126 y p= 0,0090, respectivamente). Hubo una asociación notoria entre el descontrol de la glucemia y el de la presión arterial (OR= 6,82, IC= 3,3-13,9, p= 0,0000). Conclusiones: para alcanzar un control óptimo de la presión arterial en la mayoría de los diabéticos tipo 2, en nuestro medio, se necesitan 2 o más medicamentos, y tener en cuenta diferentes factores como: la edad, el tiempo de evolución de la diabetes y el control de la glucemia(AU)


Objective: To evaluate the blood hypertension control and its relationship with some clinical and biochemical variables in type 2 diabetic persons living in Bayamo, Gramma province. Methods: cross-sectional descriptive study of 382 type 2 diabetic and hypertensive patients, who were admitted to the Center of Care for Diabetic Patient in Bayamo, Gramma province in the period of September 2011 through May 2013. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the blood hypertension control in terms of controlled and uncontrolled hypertensives. Results: on discharge from hospital, 345 diabetic patients (90.3 percent) had reached optimal control of their blood pressure. To attain this goal, it was necessary to use two or more drugs in 68.4 percent of cases. The diabetics that did not succeed in this task were older and had longer time of progression of diabetes than those who did (p= 0.0126 y p= 0.0090, respectively). There was remarkable association of lack of glycemic control and uncontrolled blood pressure (OR= 6.82, IC= 3.3-13.9, p= 0.0000). Conclusions: it was necessary to use two or more drugs to reach optimal control of blood pressure in most of the type 2 diabetic patients and to consider different factors such as age, time of diabetes progression and glycemic control(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: Determinar las causas más comunes de una respuesta inadecuada al tratamiento antihipertensivo en nuestro medio, y qué porcentaje de la población hipertensa controla su presión con el tratamiento aplicado.Diseño del estudio: El presente es un estudio retroprospectivo, analítico, llevado a cabo en el Servicio de cardiología de la Consulta Externa del hospital Luis Vernaza de Guayaquil. La muestra fue de 100 pacientes hipertensos tratados en quienes se trató de determinar la eficacia del tratamiento antihipertensivo. De estos pacientes, a 30 no controlados se les realizó una encuesta para establecer la causa de su respuesta inadecuada al tratamiento.Resultados: Aproximadamente 60% de pacientes presentó un control eficaz de su presión arterial. Dentro de los no controlados se observó que la causa principal de la respuesta inadecuada al tratamiento fue la falta de sometimiento al mismo, (53,33%), y a su vez esta se debió en su mayor porcentaje al olvido y a los costos de la medicación (44% c/u), siendo pocos los casos de abandono por intolerancia al fármaco empleado.Conclusión: Con lo observado se estableció la necesidad de reducir esta falta de colaboración al tratamiento mediante un seguimiento más persistente e integral de los pacientes hipertensos, el que incluye educación del paciente sobre la importancia y consecuencias a corto, mediano y largo plazo de su enfermedad y los beneficios de la terapia.


Objective: To determine common causes of an inadequate response to the antihypertensive treatment in our environment and how many patients can control their blood pressure with their treatment.Study Design: This is a retro prospective study made in cardiology service of Luis Vernaza Hospital – Guayaquil, where we chose 100 hypertensive patients under treatment and tried to determine its efficacy. We chose those who were not controlling their pressure and tried to establish more common causes of their inadequate response to the treatment. Results: Approximately 60% of patients had an effective control of their blood pressure. In those who were not under control we found that the outstanding cause of an inadequate response to the treatment was the lack of adherence (53.33%) and at the same time this lack of adherence to the treatment was due to forgetting as much as medication expenses (44%) and there with few cases of withdrawal for intolerance to the drugConclusion: As we observed, it is necessary to reduce this lack of adherence to the treatment by means of a more aggressive and integral following of hypertensive patients, which should include education of the patient about the importance and short-term and long-term consequences and also the benefits of the treatment.
