ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: the surgical approach persists as the main treatment for esophageal cancer. This study compares the patients of the same institution over time at three different times. Methods: this is a retrospective, observational, descriptive study comparing the surgical outcomes obtained by the Division of Surgical Oncology of Erasto Gaertner Hospital. The sample was divided into Period 1 (1987-1997), Period 2 (1998-2003) and Period 3 (2007-2015). Survival rates and disease-free survival were estimated by the Kaplan-Maier method. Survival predictors were identified with Cox regression. ANOVA test was used for comparison between groups. Data were analyzed with SPSS 25.0 and STATA 16, and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: a total of 335 patients underwent esophagectomy or esophagogastrectomy. When the clinical characteristics of the 3 groups were compared, there was no statistically significant difference. Neoadjuvance was significantly higher in Period 3 (55.4% of patients). We found a histological change in the diagnosis over time, with a significant increase in adenocarcinoma. Morbidity and mortality rates were higher in Period 3. The main complications were pulmonary and anastomotic fistulas. Overall survival in 5 years increased over time, reaching 59.7% in Period 3. Conclusions: better neoadjuvant treatment contributed to increase the global survival of patients, despite greater rate of immediate complications to surgery.


RESUMO Objetivo: A abordagem cirúrgica persiste como tratamento principal para o câncer de esôfago. O presente estudo compara as casuísticas da mesma instituição ao longo do tempo, em três momentos diferentes. Métodos: Estudo descritivo retrospectivo comparativo observacional dos resultados cirúrgicos obtidos pelo Serviço de Cirurgia Oncológica do Hospital Erasto Gaertner. A amostra foi dividida em: Período 1 (1987-1997), Período 2 (1998-2003) e Período 3 (2007-2015). Taxas de sobrevida e sobrevida livre de doença foram estimadas pelo método de Kaplan-Maier. Preditores de sobrevida foram identificados com regressão de Cox. Para a comparação entre os grupos foi utilizado teste ANOVA. Os dados foram analisados com os programas SPSS 25.0 e STATA 16, sendo p<0,05 considerado estatisticamente significativo. Resultados: Ao todo, 335 doentes foram submetidos a esofagectomia ou esofagogastrectomia. Quando comparadas as características clínicas dos 3 grupos não houve diferença estatística significativa. A realização de neoadjuvância foi significativamente maior no Período 3 (55,4% dos pacientes). Verificamos uma mudança histológica do diagnóstico no decorrer do tempo, com um aumento significativo do adenocarcinoma. As taxas de morbimortalidade foram superiores no Período 3. As principais complicações foram pulmonares e de fistulas anastomóticas. A sobrevida global em 5 anos foi aumentando no decorrer do tempo, atingindo 59,7% no Período 3. Conclusões: Melhor tratamento neoadjuvante contribuiu para aumentar a sobrevida global dos pacientes, apesar de maior incidência de complicações imediatas à cirurgia.

ABSTRACT

Abstract INTRODUCTION: We report the results of the active surveillance of influenza infections in hospitalized patients and the evaluation of the seasonality and correlation with temperature and rainfall data. METHODS: During the 2-year study period, 775 patients were tested for 15 respiratory viruses (RVs). RESULTS: Most of the 57% of (n=444) virus-positive samples were human rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus. However, 10.4% (n=46) were influenza virus (80% FluA; 20% FluB). Age and SARI were significantly associated with influenza. FluB circulation was higher is 2013. CONCLUSIONS: In the post-epidemic period, influenza remains an important cause of hospitalization in SARI patients.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: To report epidemiological features, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of human rhinovirus (HRV) infections in comparison with other community acquired respiratory virus (CRV) infections in patients hospitalized for two consecutive years. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory data of patients hospitalized with acute respiratory syndrome in a tertiary care hospital from 2012 to 2013 were reviewed. Results: HRV was the most common CRV observed (36%, 162/444) and was present in the majority of viral co-detections (69%, 88/128), mainly in association with human enterovirus (45%). Most HRV-infected patients were younger than 2 years (57%). Overall, patients infected with HRV had a lower frequency of severe acute respiratory infection than those infected with other CRVs (60% and 84%, respectively, p = 0.006), but had more comorbidities (40% and 27%, respectively; p = 0.043). However, in the adjusted analysis this association was not significant. The mortality rate within the HRV group was 3%. Detection of HRV was more prevalent during autumn and winter, with a moderately negative correlation between viral infection frequency and temperature (r = −0.636, p < 0.001) but no correlation with rainfall (r = −0.036, p = 0.866). Conclusion: HRV is usually detected in hospitalized children with respiratory infections and is often present in viral co-detections. Comorbidities are closely associated with HRV infections. These infections show seasonal variation, with predominance during colder seasons.


Resumo Objetivos: Relatar as características epidemiológicas, as características clínicas e os resultados das infecções por rinovírus humano (RVH) em comparação a outras infecções por vírus respiratórios adquiridos na comunidade (VRCs) em pacientes internados por dois anos consecutivos. Métodos: Este foi um estudo transversal. Foram revisados os dados clínicos, epidemiológicos e laboratoriais de pacientes internados com síndrome respiratória aguda em um hospital terciário de 2012 a 2013. Resultados: O RVH foi o VRC mais comum observado (36%, 162/444) e esteve presente na maior parte das codetecções virais (69%, 88/128), principalmente em associação ao enterovírus humano (45%). A maioria dos pacientes infectados por RVH possuía menos de 2 anos (57%). De modo geral, os pacientes com RVH apresentaram uma menor frequência de infecção respiratória aguda grave que os pacientes infectados por outros VRCs (60% e 84%, respectivamente, p = 0,006), porém mais comorbidades (40% e 27%, respectivamente; p = 0,043). Contudo, em uma análise ajustada, essa associação não foi significativa. A taxa de mortalidade no grupo RVH foi 3%. A detecção de RVH foi mais prevalente durante o outono e inverno, com uma correlação negativa moderada entre a frequência de infecção viral e a temperatura (r = -0,636, p < 0,001), porém nenhuma correlação com a precipitação (r = −0,036, p = 0,866). Conclusão: O RVH é normalmente detectado em crianças internadas com infecções respiratórias e normalmente está presente em codetecções virais. As comorbidades estão estreitamente associadas a infecções por RVH. Essas infecçõesmostram variação sazonal, com predominância durante as estações mais frias.
