RESUMO

Introduction and objectives: Due to the lack of structured and systematic information available, the aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology, diagnosis, healthcare processes, and treatment patterns of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in Mexico. To achieve this, different data sources were consulted regarding medical literature, structured health system databases, and angioedema-specialized physicians (AEP) opinion regarding HAE. Material and methods: A mixed methods approach was conducted in 4 phases: I) systematic literature review (SLR) and meta-analysis according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines; II) review of national health system (NHS) databases and systematic reports; III) physician survey; and IV) an epidemiologic model. ICD 10 D84.1 encoded records from the NHS were used to estimate the number of patients with HAE attended and treated during 2019. A survey was implemented to increase understanding of the clinical profile and treatments used. Results: A prevalence rate of 0.9/50 000 inhabitants was estimated for 2019. In the same year, an estimated 317 HAE type 1 patients were recorded in the NHS, aged ≥11 years old. The most frequent clinical symptoms were cutaneous edema (67.5%) and abdominal pain (47.9%). A severe episode with laryngeal edema appeared in 27.5% of cases. Acute episodes were mainly moderate to severe (77.0%), with an annual per capita frequency of emergency visits of 7.6 patient-year (range 1-12/patient-year). The main reasons for hospitalization corresponded to laryngeal facial, tongue, and abdominal edemas, representing 73.3% of annual ICD 10 D84.1 reported hospitalizations. The main treatments that patients with HAE received were fresh frozen plasma for acute attacks and danazol for short-term prophylaxis (STP). Conclusions: Despite efforts to make HAE visible, according to this study, cases recognized and treated in the NHS represent only 16.6% of the estimated prevalence.

RESUMO

Leprosy remains endemic in some regions and is a global health concern. However, the possible causes and risk factors of the disease remain unclear. Data in Wenshan, China were collected from the Wenshan Institute of Dermatology (1986-2015); data in Nepal were obtained from the Leprosy Control Division, Department of Health Services, Nepal (2011 to 2015); and data from Indonesia, India, and Brazil were collected from WHO records. We assessed the epidemiological trends of leprosy in Wenshan and compared the features of possible causes and risk factors with those of other countries. We then performed a descriptive and statistical analysis to make our study more purposeful and definitive. A total of 3,376 cases were detected in Wenshan from 1986 to 2015. The overall prevalence rate (PR) of leprosy presented a decreasing trend with a peak (4.9/10,000 population) in 1986. The detection of new leprosy cases was higher in males than in females. Visible deformity increased every year since 2005 with a disability of 34.8% in 2015 among new cases. In Nepal, 2,461 leprosy patients received multi-drug therapy (MDT) in 2015 which corresponded to the PR of 0.89/10,000 population. Geographic latitude and socio-economic situations appeared to be the main causes of leprosy, and the healthcare condition was an important factor associated with leprosy incidence. The introduction of MDT effectively reduced leprosy prevalence worldwide. Wenshan (China), Nepal, and other countries share similarities in various aspects with respect to socio-cultural features, geographical distribution, environmental factors, and economic situation, which may contribute to leprosy being endemic in these areas.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Studies on the prevalence of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) are still scarce. The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence rate of NMOSD in Belo Horizonte, southeast Brazil, where the prevalence rate of multiple sclerosis (MS) has already been established. METHODS: For this observational study, eligible patients had to meet the 2015 International Panel for Neuromyelitis Optica Diagnosis, be seen at the study center between January 2000 and February 2019 and live in Belo Horizonte. The prevalence rate of NMOSD was estimated based on the number of MS and NMOSD patients seen at same Center during the same period, and the previously established prevalence of MS in Belo Horizonte. RESULTS: During the study period, there were 69 patients with NMOSD, 60 (87.0%) of whom were females, and 44 (63.8%) non-whites. The median age at disease onset was 36.7 (4-72) years, the mean EDSS score 4.78±2.36, and the mean ARR 0.57±0.43. Anti-aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin testing was available for 61 (88.4%) patients, of whom 41 (67.2%) had a positive result. During the same period, 280 MS patients were seen. Considering the local known prevalence rate of MS of 18.1/100,000 inhabitants, the estimated NMOSD prevalence rate in Belo Horizonte was 4.52/100,000 (95% CI 3.72-5.43) inhabitants. CONCLUSION: The prevalence rate of NMOSD in Belo Horizonte is high as compared with those found in most of the studies reported to date.

RESUMO

Introducción: La base del Sistema Nacional de Salud en Cuba es el médico de la familia quienes registran, evalúan los riesgos, tratan y siguen a los pacientes en su comunidad. La enfermedad renal crónica afecta al 10 por ciento de la población adulta por lo cual es necesaria su activa vigilancia. Objetivos: evaluar y comparar la dispensarización por ERC y ERC-DM entre 2014 y 2017. Material y Métodos: Pacientes registrados con ERC (tasa de filtración glomerular <60 mL/min/1,73 m2) total y de causa diabética; tasa de prevalencia x 1 000 habitantes, (sexo, edad, provincia). Los datos se obtuvieron de los registros de la Dirección Nacional de Estadísticas. Resultados: Se incrementa la dispensarizacion en 2017 vs 2014: por ERC 21 por ciento, y de ellos con ERC ocasionada por diabetes en un 47,21 por ciento. Existió un aumento a mayor edad y alcanzó su valor máximo en el grupo de edades de 60-64 años para la ERC (8,99 x 1 000 habitantes) y entre los mayores de 65 años (1,35 x 1 000 habitantes) para la ERC-DM. Existen diferencias en las tasas provinciales, en la frecuencia de ERC (6,28-1,06), y de ERC-DM (0,82-0,11), también varía el diagnostico ERC-DM vs la población diabética existente y dispensarizada entre un 1,25-0,1% Conclusiones: Existe una mejoría en la dispensarización por ERC y por ERC-DM. La garantía por el Estado Cubano del acceso universal, de la atención centrada desde cada comunidad; en el asesoramiento a los pacientes; de las herramientas diagnósticas y la cobertura de medicamentos esenciales garantiza su sostenibilidad(AU)

Introduction: The basis of the National Health System in Cuba is the Primary Health Care; the family doctor registers the patients to evaluate the risks, to carry out the treatment, and follow-up them in the community. Chronic Kidney Disease affects the 10 percent of the adult population, that is why the active surveillance is necessary. Objectives: To evaluate and compare all patient registries of Chronic Kidney Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease with Diabetes Mellitus (2014- 2017). Material and Methods: The total of patients registered with Chronic Kidney Disease (glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2), and among them the diabetic patients; comparing the prevalence rate per 1 000 inhabitants, (sex, age, province). The data were obtained from the registries of the National Direction for Statistics. Results: Dispensarization increased in 2017 vs 2014: CKD 21,0%, and CKD with diabetes mellitus 47,21 percent. It increased according to age and it reached its maximum value in the group of 60-64 year-old ages for the CKD (8,99 per 1 000 inhabitants) and among them, more than 65 years old (1,35 per 1 000 inhabitants) for CKD with Diabetes Mellitus. There are differences in rates in the provinces in a frequency of CKD (6,28-1,06), and CKD with Diabetes Mellitus (0,82-0,11). The diagnosis of CKD-DM vs the existent diabetic and dispensarized population between 1,25-0,1 percent also varies. Conclusions: The dispensarization has increased for CKD and CKD with Diabetes Mellitus. The cuban state guarantees the sustainability of the universal access of the medical care in each community; the advice to patients; the diagnostic tools and the covering of essential medications(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: determinar las características epidemiológicas y clínicas de la retinopatía de la prematuridad en Sancti Spíritus desde el año 2004 al 2015. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, en 1 165 recién nacidos prematuros examinados. Se empleó el análisis descriptivo, sustentado en el empleo de gráficos y tablas de distribución de frecuencia, considerando las tasas de incidencia y de prevalencia, así como las variables clínicas relacionadas con la entidad. Resultados: la retinopatía de la prematuridad presentó tasas de incidencia similares a las cubanas y menores a las de algunos países; también tasas de prevalencia en incremento. Los municipios con más pacientes diagnosticados fueron Sancti Spíritus, Cabaiguán y Jatibonico. En la pesquisa existió un predominio de los varones (54,5 opr ciento) y el color de la piel blanca (54,8 por ciento). Los factores de riesgo más frecuentes en los 108 pacientes con retinopatía de la prematuridad fueron la edad gestacional al nacimiento baja, el bajo peso extremo y el apgar bajo. Los grados de la entidad que más se presentaron en el período fueron el I y III. La fotocoagulación con láser fue el tratamiento aplicado a los pacientes que lo requirieron. Conclusiones: la retinopatía de la prematuridad es una realidad en la provincia espirituana, donde esta enfermedad presenta una relación directa con la prematuridad extrema, y su manejo ha sido oportuno en los pacientes que la han desarrollado(AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Long-term persistent Helicobacter pylori infection has been associated with ulceropeptic disease and gastric cancer. Although H. pylori is predominantly acquired early in life, a clear understanding of infection dynamics during childhood has been obfuscated by the diversity of populations evaluated, study designs, and methods used. AIM: Update understanding of true prevalence of H. pylori infection during childhood, based on a critical analysis of the literature published in the past 5 years. METHODS: Comprehensive review and meta-analysis of original studies published from 2011 to 2016. RESULTS: A MEDLINE® /PubMed® search on May 1, 2016, using the terms pylori and children, and subsequent exclusion, based on abstract review using predefined criteria, resulted in 261 citations. An Embase® search with the same criteria added an additional 8 citations. In healthy children, meta-analysis estimated an overall seroprevalence rate of 33% (95% CI: 27%-38%). Seven healthy cohort studies using noninvasive direct detection methods showed infection prevalence estimates ranging from 20% to 50% in children ≤5 and 38% to 79% in children >5 years. The probability of infection persistence after a first positive sample ranged from 49% to 95%. Model estimates of cross-sectional direct detection studies in asymptomatic children indicated a prevalence of 37% (95% CI: 30%-44%). Seroprevalence, but not direct detection rates increased with age; both decreased with increasing income. The model estimate based on cross-sectional studies in symptomatic children was 39% (95% CI: 35%-43%). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of H. pylori infection varied widely in the studies included here; nevertheless, model estimates by detection type were similar, suggesting that overall, one-third of children worldwide are or have been infected. The few cohort and longitudinal studies available show variability, but most studies, show infection rates over 30%. Rather surprisingly, overall infection prevalence in symptomatic children was only slightly higher, around 40%. Studies including only one positive stool sample should be interpreted with caution as spontaneous clearance can occur.

RESUMO

O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a prevalência do uso de benzodiazepínicos (BZDs) em mulheres de uma unidade da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF). Analisou-se também as possíveis associações do uso de BZD com fatores sociodemográficos, acometimento de doenças crônicas e uso de outros psicotrópicos. O recorte de gênero justifica-se pelas evidências científicas de maior uso destes fármacos por mulheres. O lócus da atenção básica foi escolhido a partir da observação sobre a carência de estudos, especialmente brasileiros, neste setting. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, de corte transversal e caráter correlacional e descritivo. Os dados foram coletados nos prontuários, fichas cadastrais e arquivo de receitas da farmácia responsável pela região. Foram realizadas análises através de estatística descritiva, análises bivariadas e regressão logística considerando como variável desfecho o uso de BZDs. A prevalência encontrada no presente estudo foi de 7,4% (n=1094), abaixo das descritas em estudos similares. Entende-se que o foco mais preventivo das ESFs possam contribuir para estes achados ou que a qualidade dos registros tenha interferido nestes resultados. As usuárias de BZDs estudadas estavam em sua maioria na faixa de idade de 56 a 74 anos (48,4%), estudaram somente até o primeiro grau completo (65,6%), autorreferiram pelo menos uma doença crônica (82,2%) e quase metade usava, concomitantemente, pelo menos um outro psicotrópico (48,4%). Houve associação significativa entre usar BZDs e ter baixa escolaridade (p=0,005), apresentar doenças autorreferidas (p=0,000) e consumir outros psicotrópicos (p=0,000). A associação entre idades mais elevadas e uso de BZDs (p=0,005) também foi significativa. As análises apontaram ainda que as mulheres que usavam outros psicotrópicos apresentaram cinco vezes mais chances de usar BZDs do que as que não usavam. As mulheres com doença autorreferida apresentaram quase cinco vezes mais chances de usarem BZDs do que as que não referiram doenças. Conclui-se que o grupo que deve ser priorizado em relação ao consumo destas substâncias é o de mulheres de meia idade ou mais, com pouca escolaridade e doença crônica. Recomenda-se que as equipes se atentem para as necessidades psicossociais das pessoas com transtorno mental, discutam e empreendam esforços para implementar ações para inserção e reinserção social e de ampliação das redes de apoio que possam ser estratégicas no auxílio à contenção dos sintomas e melhoria da qualidade de vida dessas pessoas, na tentativa de evitar o uso de mais psicotrópicos e/ou de serviços de maior complexidade

The aim of the present study was identifying the prevalence of Benzodiazepine (BZD) by women in a Family health care program (FHPs). It was also analyzed the possible associations of the use of BZD with sociodemographic factors, affection of chronic diseases and use of other psychotropic drugs. The choice of gender was justified by scientific literature pointing women to be the major BZD users. The choice of basic health care was done because of the lack in studies in those settings in Brazil. It is a quantitative study of cross section and of correlational descriptive type. Data were collected on the charts and registration sheets and recipes from responsible pharmacy for the geographical region. Analyses were performed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression, considering as the outcome variable the use of BZDs. The prevalence found in this study was 7.4% (n = 1094) and was below than others the found in similar studies. It is understood that the most preventive focus of the FHPs may contribute to these findings or the quality of the records have interfered in these results. Users of BZDs studied were in majority in the age range from 56 to 74 years (48.4%), studied only up to the first degree (65.6%), self- mentioned at least one disease (82.2%) and almost half used at least one other psychotropic drug (48.4%) at the same time. There was a significant association between using BZDs and have low educational level (p = 0.005), present self- mentioned diseases (p = 0.000) and the use of other psychotropic drugs (p = 0.000). The association between higher ages and use of BZDs (p = 0.005) was also significant. Analyzes also showed that women who used other psychotropic drugs were five times more likely to use BZDs than those who did not. Women with self- reported disease were almost five times more likely to use BZDs than women who did not report diseases. We concluded that the groups that should receive more attention in relation to the consumption of these substances are those of middle-aged women or older with low schooling, and with chronic disease. It is recommended that the health teams pay attention to the psychosocial needs of persons with mental disorder, discuss and take efforts to implement actions for insertion and social reintegration as well as the expansion of networks of support that can be a strategic aid to the containment of symptoms and improving of the quality of life of these people, in an attempt to avoid the use of more psychotropic drugs and/or of the services of greater complexity

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The birth prevalence rate (BPR) of congenital anomalies (CAs) is heterogeneous and exhibits geographical and sociocultural variations throughout the world. In South America (SA), high birth prevalence regions of congenital anomalies have been observed. The aim of this study was to identify, describe, and characterize geographical clusters of congenital anomalies in SA. METHODS: This observational descriptive study is based on clinical epidemiological data registered by the Latin-American Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations network. Between 1995 and 2012, a total of 25,082 malformed newborns were ascertained from 2,557,424 births at 129 hospitals in SA. The spatial scan statistic was used to determine geographical regions with high BPR of CAs. The BPR was obtained with a Poisson regression model. Odds ratios were estimated for several risk factors inside the geographical clusters. RESULTS: We confirmed the existence of high BPR regions of CAs in SA. Indicators of low socioeconomic conditions, such as a low maternal education, extreme age childbearing, infectious diseases, and medicine use during pregnancy were detected as risk factors inside these regions. Native and African ancestries with high frequency of consanguineous marriages could explain partially these high BPR clusters. CONCLUSION: The recognition of clusters could be a starting point in the identification of susceptibility genes associated with the occurrence of CA in high BPR regions.

RESUMO

Objetivo: estimar a prevalência de HIV e sífilis em parturientes e a cobertura dos testes de HIV e sífilis na gestação com base em informações registradas nos cartões de pré-natal e nos prontuários hospitalares. Métodos: o processo de amostragem foi probabilístico, em dois estágios de seleção. No primeiro, foram selecionadas 150 maternidades do SUS, estratificadas por porte populacional do município. Em cada maternidade, foram selecionadas 100 a 120 parturientes. A cobertura de sífilis foi estimada entre as parturientes que realizaram dois testes na gestação e um na hora do parto. A taxa de prevalência de sífilis foi estimada entre as parturientes que realizaram o teste na hora do parto. Resultados: somente 14,1% das parturientes obedeceram às recomendações de dois testes de sífilis durante a gestação e um no parto. O percentual de gestantes que apresentaram pelo menos um teste no cartão de pré-natal foi de 75,1%, porém apenas 16,9% apresentaram os resultados dos dois testes. Das parturientes que realizaram o teste no parto, 1,1% teve resultado positivo. Entre as mulheres que haviam feito o primeiro teste no pré-natal e obtiveram resultado negativo, 0,4% teve resultado positivo no segundo teste. Entre as gestantes que não fizeram atendimento pré-natal, 1,8% teve resultado positivo na hora do parto. Conclusão: a baixa cobertura do segundo teste de sífilis no pré-natal indica que as recomendações do Ministério da Saúde não estão sendo seguidas rotineiramente. Os achados aqui apresentados indicam a necessidade de realização do segundo teste de sífilis no pré-natal para o adequado controle da transmissão vertical.

Objective: estimating HIV and syphilis prevalence rates among parturient women and coverage of HIV and syphilis testing during pregnancy bymeans of registered information in prenatal and hospital records. Methods: the sampling was probabilistic in two selection stages. In the first one,150 hospitals were selected, stratified by population size of the municipality. In each health establishment, 100-120 parturient were randomly selected.Coverage of syphilis testing was estimated among parturient women who took two syphilis tests during prenatal care and one test at delivery. Syphilis prevalence rate was estimated among parturient women tested at the delivery. Results: only 14.1% of the women followed the recommendations of two syphilis tests during pregnancy and one at the delivery. The percentage of pregnant women with at least one syphilis test registered in the prenatal record was 75.1% but only 16.9% showed two test results. Among pregnant women that were tested at delivery, 1.1% had positive results.Among women that were tested during prenatal care and were negative, 0.4% got positive in the second test. Among women who did not have prenatalcare and were tested at delivery, 1.8% had positive results. Conclusion: the low coverage of the second syphilis test indicates that the Ministry of Health recommendations are not being obeyed in the routine of health services. The findings depicted indicate the need of the second syphilis test during pregnancy for the adequate vertical transmission control.
