RESUMO

Introducción: Los objetivos del control del asma son prevenir la aparición de síntomas y reducir el riesgo de exacerbaciones y mortalidad mediante educación médica, técnica inhalatoria, adherencia a medicación controladora e indicación de planes de acción (PA); pero los pacientes enfrentan exacerbaciones de diversa gravedad. Objetivos: El objetivo principal del estudio SABINA EMERGENCIAS fue describir la forma en que los pacientes concurren al servicio de emergencias (SE), considerando la frecuencia y uso de medicación de rescate. Objetivos secundarios: consultas al SE; uso de corticoides sistémicos (CS), agonistas beta-2 de acción corta (SABA) y tratamiento controlador; disponibilidad de PA. Material y Métodos: Estudio transversal, observacional, descriptivo, en cuatro hospitales del área metropolitana de Buenos Aires en adultos con asma. Resultados: n=323 (edad: 43,7±16,8 años; mujeres: 66,6%): 61,3% no eran seguidos por especialistas; 90,1% utilizaron SABA como rescate (mediana:10 inhalaciones; rango 0-100) la semana previa; 75,9% tuvieron ≥1 consulta al SE el año previo (mediana:2 [0-100]); 29,4% habían sido hospitalizados; 59,1% recibieron ≥1 ciclo de CS; mediana de consumo de SABA: 3 envases/año (0-23); 51,7% habían utilizado ≥3 envases; 30% no empleaban tratamiento de mantenimiento (23% usaba SABA); 75,9% no efectuaban terapia regular de mantenimiento; 77,1% no contaban con PA. Conclusión: Una reducida proporción de pacientes asmáticos que concurren al SE son seguidos por médicos especialistas, con alto consumo y elevada frecuencia de aplicación de SABA como rescate y baja adherencia al tratamiento de mantenimiento. Se remarca la necesidad de optimizar el manejo, con énfasis en la derivación al especialista, adherencia al tratamiento y prescripción de PA.

Introduction: The objectives of asthma control are to prevent the onset of symptoms and reduce the risk of exacerbations and mortality through medical education, inhaler technique, adherence to controller medication and indication of action plans (AP); but patients experience exacerbations of varying severity. Objective: The main objective of the SABINA EMERGENCIAS study was to describe how patients attend the emergency department (ED), considering the frequency and use of rescue medication. Secondary objectives: ED visits; use of systemic corticosteroids (SC), short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABA) and controller therapy; availability of AP. Methods: Cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study in 4 hospitals in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires in adults with asthma. Results: n=323 (age:43.7±16.8 years; women:66.6%): 61.3% were not followed by specialists; 90.1% used SABA as rescue medication (median:10 puffs; range 0-100) the previous week; 75.9% had ≥1 visit to the ES the previous year (median: 2 [0-100]); 29.4% had been hospitalized; 59.1% received ≥1 cycle of CS; median SABA consumption: 3 cannisters/year (0-23); 51.7% had used ≥3 cannisters; 30% did not use maintenance therapy (23% used SABA); 75.9% did not perform regular maintenance therapy; 77.1% did not have an AP. Conclusion: A small proportion of asthmatic patients attending the ES are followed by specialist physicians, with high consumption and high frequency of SABA application as rescue medication and low adherence to maintenance treatment. The need to optimize management is highlighted, with emphasis on referral to specialists, adherence to treatment and prescription of APs.

RESUMO

The Brazilian National Plan to Combat Marine Litter was launched in March 2019 and in its context, 577 campaigns were carried out to clean up beaches, rivers, estuaries and mangroves, until January 2023, at an estimated cost of US$ 16,733,000.00. The volume collected in four years represented only 0.0041 % of the total solid waste discharged annually in the maritime waters under the country's jurisdiction. The direct benefit to society was only US$ 173,751.41 at market value for the litter collected. Litter lesser than 2.5 cm was left out, not been characterized. The results achieved deserve reflection and critical evaluation, in order to allow improvements, serving as reference. The participation of around 43,000 people in cleanup campaigns is an indication of environmental citizenship and an asset that cannot be overlooked by managers, demanding focus, tangible results and benefits in terms of environmental quality, well-being and savings on public cleaning services costs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: National palliative care plans depend upon stakeholder engagement to succeed. Assessing the capability, interest, and knowledge of stakeholders is a crucial step in the implementation of public health initiatives, as recommended by the World Health Organisation. However, utilising stakeholder analysis is a strategy underused in public palliative care. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a stakeholder analysis characterising a diverse group of stakeholders involved in implementing a national palliative care plan in three rural regions of an upper-middle-income country. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study design, complemented by a quantitative stakeholder analysis approach, was executed through a survey designed to gauge stakeholders' levels of interest and capability in relation to five fundamental dimensions of public palliative care: provision of services, accessibility of essential medicines, palliative care education, financial support, and palliative care vitality. Stakeholders were categorised as promoters (high-power, high-interest), latent (high-power, low-interest), advocates (low-power, high-interest), and indifferent (low-power and low-interest). Stakeholder self-perceived category and knowledge level were also assessed. RESULTS: Among the 65 surveyed stakeholders, 19 were categorised as promoters, 34 as advocates, 9 as latent, and 3 as indifferent. Stakeholders' self-perception of their category did not align with the results of the quantitative analysis. When evaluated by region and palliative care dimensions the distribution of stakeholders was nonuniform. Palliative care funding was the dimension with the highest number of stakeholders categorised as indifferent, and the lowest percentage of promoters. Stakeholders categorised as promoters consistently reported a low level of knowledge, regardless of the dimension, region, or their level of interest. CONCLUSIONS: Assessing the capability, interest, and knowledge of stakeholders is a crucial step when implementing public health initiatives in palliative care. It allows for a data-driven decision-making process on how to delegate responsibilities, administer financial resources, and establish governance boards that remain engaged and work efficiently.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The WHO has recently published updated guidance for national strategic planning for TB. To address the TB epidemic comprehensively, it is necessary to conduct an epidemiological review as part of the situation analysis in the national strategic plan. METHODS: A descriptive epidemiological study was conducted using data from the national TB register for the period of 2010-2020. Simple frequencies were calculated for demographic and clinical variables. Trends in TB notification rates for the period 2010-2020 were also calculated. RESULTS: TB notification rates between 2011 (24.3/100,000) and 2019 (23.9/100,000) remained almost the same. The HIV status was known for 97.1% of TB cases, 22.7% of whom had HIV co-infection; 10.9% of patients with detected Mycobacterium tuberculosis were also resistant to rifampicin. Case fatality rate for all cases was 13.0%. Of the identified contacts, 66% were screened; 28.3-47.5% of those with TB infection started treatment, 63.3-75.9% of whom completed treatment. CONCLUSION: The review identified the following areas of concern: no decline in TB rates, high proportion of TB-HIV co-infection, high rate of resistance to rifampicin, high case-fatality rates and suboptimal contact investigation care cascade . The review was used to inform interventions and key actions to reduce TB morbidity and mortality in Suriname.

CONTEXTE: L'OMS a récemment publié des orientations actualisées pour la planification stratégique nationale de la TB. Pour faire face à l'épidémie de TB de manière globale, il est nécessaire de procéder à un examen épidémiologique dans le cadre de l'analyse de la situation du plan stratégique national. MÉTHODES: Une étude épidémiologique descriptive a été réalisée à partir des données du registre national de la TB pour la période 2010­2020. Des fréquences simples ont été calculées pour les variables démographiques et cliniques. Les tendances des taux de notification de la TB pour la période 2010­2020 ont également été calculées. RÉSULTATS: Les taux de notification de la TB entre 2011 (24,3/100 000) et 2019 (23,9/100 000) sont restés pratiquement les mêmes. Le statut VIH était connu pour 97,1% des cas de TB, dont 22,7% présentaient une co-infection par le VIH ; 10,9% des patients chez qui Mycobacterium tuberculosis avait été détecté étaient également résistants à la rifampicine. Le taux de létalité pour l'ensemble des cas était de 13,0%. Parmi les contacts identifiés, 66% ont fait l'objet d'un dépistage ; 28,3­47,5% des personnes infectées par la TB ont entamé un traitement, et 63,3­75,9% d'entre elles l'ont achevé. CONCLUSION: L'étude a permis d'identifier les domaines de préoccupation suivants : absence de baisse des taux de TB, proportion élevée de co-infection TB-VIH, taux élevé de résistance à la rifampicine, taux élevé de létalité et cascade de soins sous-optimale en matière d'investigation des contacts. L'étude a été utilisée pour informer les interventions et les actions clés visant à réduire la morbidité et la mortalité dues à la TB au Suriname.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Journey to 9 Plus (J9) is an integrated reproductive, maternal, neonatal, and child health approach to care that has at its core the goal of decreasing the rate of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in rural Haiti. For the maximum effectiveness of this program, it is necessary that the data system be of the highest quality. OpenMRS, an electronic medical record (EMR) system, has been in place since 2013 throughout a tertiary referral hospital, the Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais, in Haiti and has been expanded for J9 data collection and reporting. The J9 program monthly reports showed that staff had limited time and capacity to perform double charting, which contributed to incomplete and inconsistent reports. Initial evaluation of the quality of EMR data entry showed that only 18% (58/325) of the J9 antenatal visits were being documented electronically at the start of this quality improvement project. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to improve the electronic documentation of outpatient antenatal care from 18% (58/325) to 85% in the EMR by J9 staff from November 2020 to September 2021. The experiences that this quality improvement project team encountered could help others improve electronic data collection as well as the transition from paper to electronic documentation within a burgeoning health care system. METHODS: A continuous quality improvement strategy was undertaken as the best approach to improve the EMR data collection at Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais. The team used several continuous quality improvement tools to conduct this project: (1) a root cause analysis using Ishikawa and Pareto diagrams, (2) baseline evaluation measurements, and (3) Plan-Do-Study-Act improvement cycles to document incremental changes and the results of each change. RESULTS: At the beginning of the quality improvement project in November 2020, the baseline data entry for antenatal visits was 18% (58/325). Ten months of improvement strategies resulted in an average of 89% (272/304) of antenatal visits documented in the EMR at point of care every month. CONCLUSIONS: The experiences that this quality improvement project team encountered can contribute to the transition from paper to electronic documentation within burgeoning health care systems. Essential to success was having a strong and dedicated nursing leadership to transition from paper to electronic data and motivated nursing staff to perform data collection to improve the quality of data and thus, the reports on patient outcomes. Engaging the nursing team closely in the design and implementation of EMR and quality improvement processes ensures long-term success while centering nurses as key change agents in patient care systems.

RESUMO

El síndrome de Apert, marcado por la acrocéfalo-sindactilia, es una condición genética que genera deformidades dentofaciales incluyendo craneosinostosis, alteraciones faciales y malformaciones en extremidades. La mutación en el gen FGFR2, ya sea heredada o resultante de mutaciones esporádicas, desencadena esta compleja condición. La relevancia de abordar el síndrome de Apert se manifiesta no sólo en las implicaciones estéticas, sino también en su impacto en la salud oral. Romper con los paradigmas odontológicos actuales implica reconocer las particularidades de estos pacientes y proporcionar una atención especializada. La necesidad de una capacitación específica para los profesionales de la salud oral es evidente, permitiendo un enfoque integral que aborde la prevención y el tratamiento de las malformaciones craneofaciales asociadas. Superar los desafíos tradicionales implica adoptar una perspectiva inclusiva y personalizada en la atención odontológica. Esto no sólo mejora la calidad de vida de los pacientes con síndrome de Apert, sino que también destaca la importancia de una atención adaptada que trascienda los límites convencionales, ofreciendo soluciones innovadoras para las complejidades bucodentales asociadas a esta condición genética (AU)

Apert syndrome, marked by acrocephalosyndactyly, is a genetic condition that generates dentofacial deformities, including craniosynostosis, facial alterations and limb malformations. Mutation in the FGFR2 gene, whether inherited or resulting from sporadic mutations, triggers this complex condition. The relevance of addressing Apert syndrome is manifested not only in the aesthetic implications, but also in its impact on oral health. Breaking with current dental paradigms involves recognizing the particularities of these patients and providing specialized care. The need for specific training for dental health professionals is evident, allowing a comprehensive approach that addresses the prevention and treatment of associated craniofacial malformations. Overcoming traditional challenges means taking an inclusive and personalized perspective on dental care. This not only improves the quality of life of patients with Apert syndrome, but also highlights the importance of tailored care that transcends conventional boundaries, offering innovative solutions for the oral complexities associated with this genetic conditio (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Suicide is a complex, global public health problem. The Colombian clinical practice guideline provides relevant input for its prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The objective was to evaluate the methodological quality, credibility and applicability of the Colombian clinical practice guideline for suicidal behaviour. METHODS: An academic group of 12 evaluators was established to assess the guide and its recommendations in a standardised way, using the AGREE-II and AGREE-REX instruments. The evaluations were given in the range of 0.0-1.0 with 0.7 as a cut-off point for appropriate quality. RESULTS: The global assessment of the AGREE-II was greater than 0.7 in the dimensions: "scope and objective" (0.86), "clarity of presentation" (0.89), "applicability" (0.73) and "editorial independence" (0.89). The lowest scores were for "participation of those involved" (0.67) and "rigour in preparation" (0.69). With the AGREE-REX, the results in all dimensions were below 0.70, which indicates lower quality and suitability for use. CONCLUSIONS: The adoption process of the Colombian guideline for suicidal behaviour was a rigorous methodological process, while the practice recommendations were valued as of low applicability due to low support in local evidence. It is necessary to strengthen the generation and synthesis of evidence at the national level to give greater support and applicability to the practice recommendations.

RESUMO

Biosecurity refers to a set of practices that prevents and/or controls the introduction, spread, and elimination of harmful biological agents in a production system. In this study, we aimed to survey the biosecurity practices and determine their correlation with the size of production systems. A biosecurity assessment form was provided to 69 farms in the Campos Gerais region of Paraná, Brazil. The questionnaire was divided into two sections: general and bovine viral diarrhea virus- and bovine herpesvirus type-1-specific sections. The general section covered topics on traffic control, quarantine and animal isolation, hygiene practices, carcass disposal, and disease monitoring/control. The specific section consisted of questions on the reproductive and respiratory factors, use of antimicrobials, and vaccination schedule. The 69 farms were also classified into small (≤ 61), medium (62-201), and large (≥ 202) size farms based on the number of lactating cows. Moreover, multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) was performed between the biosecurity measures and farm size. The main risk factors and variability were related to the traffic control of people, animals, and vehicles/equipment, animal quarantine/isolation, and hygiene practices. MCA revealed that the small farms exhibited a lack of biosecurity measures, including those related to traffic control, animal quarantine, and hygiene. In medium-size farms, contact between bovine animals of different ages and difficulty in animal isolation in the quarantine system were among the main risk factors. In contrast, isolation of sick animals was easy, but the need to frequently purchase cattle was an important risk factor in large farms. These results highlight the relationship between biosecurity measures and farm size, providing valuable insights for the development of better biosecurity plans for production systems.

RESUMO

La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) constituye un importante problema de salud pública en el mundo y la región de las Américas, teniendo una prevalencia poblacional del 10% al 13%. Generalmente la ERC se atribuye a causas tradicionales principalmente diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial y obesidad. El país actualmente se enfrenta a una doble carga de enfermedad renal crónica, una debida a causas tradicionales como diabetes, hipertensión y obesidad, entre otros y de otra carga debida a causas no tradicionales. En el caso de la ERC, que afecta a las comunidades agrícolas salvadoreñas, el fenómeno se hace más complejo porque está sustentado sobre profundas raíces sociales que generan esta enfermedad en interacción con factores ambientales y ocupacionales

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) constitutes an important public health problem in the world and the region of the Americas, with a population prevalence of 10% to 13%. CKD is generally attributed to traditional causes, mainly diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and obesity. The country currently faces a double burden of chronic kidney disease, one due to traditional causes such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity, among others, and another burden due to non-traditional causes. In the case of CKD, which affects Salvadoran agricultural communities, the phenomenon becomes more complex because it is based on deep social roots that generate this disease in interaction with environmental and occupational factors

RESUMO

Dentro de la carrera de Odontología de la Universidad de La Frontera surge la necesidad de pasar por un proceso de renovación curricular. Para esto, se deben considerar tres ejes: la Mención en Prevención con la que cuenta el plan de estudios de Odontología, la coherencia con la legislación chilena y el Modelo Educativo de la Universidad en la formación y gestión de la carrera, y las metodologías de formación actualizadas. La Mención en Prevención se debe fortalecer para entregar una formación integral a los estudiantes, con énfasis en la responsabilidad social. La legislación chilena actualmente exige una revisión sistemática al plan de estudios de Odontología para cumplir con los estándares de calidad, y paralelamente la Universidad propone un Modelo Educativo que entrega un sello de calidad al trabajo de la casa de estudios, con el cual la carrera también debe alinearse. Por otra parte, la constante actualización de conocimientos disciplinares y pedagógicos en Odontología deben ser considerados y estudiados para un óptimo resultado en el proceso de renovación curricular, como así también la inclusión de las nuevas herramientas tecnológicas que se han desarrollado. Estos son ejes esenciales a considerar para generar impacto en educación en Odontología.

Within the dentistry program of the University of La Frontera, there is a need to undergo a process of curricular renewal. For this, three axes must be considered: Mention in Prevention in the Dentistry curriculum, the coherence with the Chilean legislation and the Educational Model of the University in the training and management of the program, and the updated training methodologies. The Mention in Prevention should be strengthened to provide comprehensive training to students, with emphasis on social responsibility. Chilean legislation currently requires a systematic review of the dentistry curriculum to comply with quality standards, and at the same time the University proposes an Educational Model that provides a quality seal for the work of the university, with which the program must also be aligned. On the other hand, the constant updating of disciplinary and pedagogical knowledge in Dentistry must be considered and studied for an optimal result in the process of curricular renovation, as well as the inclusion of new technological tools that have been developed. These are essential axes to consider in order to generate impact on education in dentistry.

RESUMO

Background: The underlying health status of populations was a major determinant of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly obesity prevalence. Mexico was one of the most severely affected countries during the COVID-19 pandemic and its obesity prevalence is among the highest in the world. It is unknown by how much the COVID-19 burden could have been reduced if systemic actions had been implemented to reduce excess weight in Mexico before the onset of the pandemic. Methods: Using a dynamic epidemic model based on nationwide data, we compare actual deaths with those under hypothetical scenarios assuming a lower body mass index in the Mexican population, as observed historically. We also model the number of deaths that would have been averted due to earlier implementation of front-of-pack warning labels or due to increases in taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages and non-essential high-energy foods in Mexico. Findings: We estimate that 52.5% (95% prediction interval (PI) 43.2, 61.6%) of COVID-19 deaths were attributable to obesity for adults aged 20-64 and 23.8% (95% PI 18.7, 29.1%) for those aged 65 and over. Had the population BMI distribution remained as it was in 2000, 2006, or 2012, COVID-19 deaths would have been reduced by an expected 20.6% (95% PI 16.9, 24.6%), 9.9% (95% PI 7.3, 12.9%), or 6.9% (95% PI 4.5, 9.5%), respectively. If the food-labelling intervention introduced in 2020 had been introduced in 2018, an expected 6.2% (95% PI 5.2, 7.3%) of COVID-19 deaths would have been averted. If taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages and high-energy foods had been doubled, trebled, or quadrupled in 2018, COVID-19 deaths would have been reduced by an expected 4.1% (95% PI 2.5, 5.7%), 7.9% (95% PI 4.9, 11.0%), or 11.6% (95% PI 7.3, 15.8%), respectively. Interpretation: Public health interventions targeting underlying population health, including non-communicable chronic diseases, is a promising line of action for pandemic preparedness that should be included in all pandemic plans.

RESUMO

La tuberculosis en la edad pediátrica está íntimamente ligada a la enfermedad del adulto y se considera que los casos pediátricos son centinelas de lo que sucede en la comunidad en que la niña y el niño vive. Por lo antes expuesto, el Sistema Nacional Integrado de Salud (SNIS) debe sumar esfuerzos bajo el enfoque de la Ley Crecer Juntos, para garantizar el bienestar de la niñez y adolescencia, y alcanzar el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) "Salud y Bienestar", ya que considera fundamental crear un "Plan de implementación de la red nacional de apoyo para el diagnóstico 10 y tratamiento de la tuberculosis pediátrica en El Salvador: RedNaTBPediátrica-ES", que contribuya a cumplir con los documentos regulatorios como la "Guía clínica para la atención pediátrica de la Tuberculosis y la coinfección TB/VIH" y demás normativas relacionadas al control de la tuberculosis en esta edad

Tuberculosis in paediatric age is closely linked to adult disease and paediatric cases are considered to be sentinels of what happens in the community in which the child lives. In view of the foregoing, the National Integrated Health System (NIS) must join forces under the Grow Together Act to guarantee the well-being of children and adolescents and achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) "Health and Well-being"considers it essential to create a "Plan for the implementation of the national network of support for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric tuberculosis in El Salvador: RedNaTBPediátrica-ES", which contributes to comply with regulatory documents such as the Clinical Guide for Pediatric Care of TB and TB/HIV Co-infection" and other regulations related to tuberculosis control at this age
