ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Evaluar el impacto económico que genera el tratamiento quirúrgico de la papilomatosis respiratoria recurrente en el tercer nivel de atención. La papilomatosis respiratoria recurrente es una entidad prevalente. El impacto económico que genera se encuentra principalmente en la necesidad de las repetidas intervenciones quirúrgicas que requiere a lo largo de su evolución, además de la morbilidad que ocasiona esta en el paciente. Materiales y métodos: Este estudio se realizó en el Hospital de Especialidades N° 2, Centro Médico Nacional del Noroeste, IMSS. Diseño retrospectivo, observacional, trasversal. Muestreo no probabilístico por serie consecutiva de casos. En la descripción general del estudio, se revisaron los expedientes clínicos de los pacientes con diagnóstico de papilomatosis respiratoria recurrente atendidos en el servicio de esta institución de enero de 2010 a enero de 2012. Se tomaron datos como la edad, sexo, manejo quirúrgico y/o terapia coadyuvante, y costo generado por su atención quirúrgica exclusivamente. Resultados: De un total de 103 expedientes revisados, solo 39 se encontraron completos y cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión: 16 (41%) eran de sexo femenino y 23 (59%), de sexo masculino. Se encontraron 27 casos (69%) juveniles y 12 (30.8%) adultos. Solo 19 casos (48.7%) recibieron terapia coadyuvante. En 15 casos (38.5%) se practicó traqueotomía. El costo directo por intervención quirúrgica de resecciones fue de $322,943.92 (22,190 USD) en el grupo juvenil y de $55,225.33 (3,790 USD) en el grupo adulto. Conclusiones: El tratamiento quirúrgico de la papilomatosis respiratoria recurrente representa una carga financiera y una gran morbilidad tanto para las instituciones de salud como para la familia.
Objective: To evaluate the economic impact generated by surgical treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in the tertiary care level. Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a prevalent entity. The economic impact it generates is mainly due to the need for repeated surgical interventions throughout its progression, in addition to the morbidity it causes to the patient. Materials and methods: This retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out at the Specialty Hospital No. 2, National Medical Center of the Northwest, Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), using a non-probability sampling by consecutive case series. In the general description of the study, clinical records of patients diagnosed with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis treated at this institution from January 2010 to January 2012 were reviewed. Data such as age, gender, surgical management and/or adjuvant therapy, and cost generated by exclusive surgical care, were collected. Results: Out of a total of 103 reviewed files, only 39 were complete and met the inclusion criteria: 16 (41%) were female and 23 (59%) were male. Twenty-seven (27) cases (69%) were juvenile patients and 12 (30.8%) were adults. Only 19 cases (48.7%) received adjuvant therapy. Tracheotomy was performed in 15 cases (38.5%). The direct cost for resection surgery was $322,943.92 (22,190 USD) in the juvenile group and $55,225.33 (3,790 USD) in the adult group. Conclusions: Surgical treatment for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis represents a financial burden and great morbidity for both health institutions and the family.
ABSTRACT
Background: Feeding modes and appetence toward certain foods are usually conditioned by the family. Obesity during adolescence usually persists during adulthood. Aim: To determine differences in family structure of adolescents according to their nutritional status. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 60 overweight-obese and 60 normal weight adolescents. Family type was determined based on their conformation (kinship and cohabitation), development (if the mother had a remunerated job), demography (geographical area), integration (functions of the couple); life cycle stage and functionality. Results: Fifty eight percent of normal weight adolescents had simple nuclear families and 47% of overweight-obese adolescents had an extended family. Thirty one and 21% of overweight/obese and normal weight adolescents lived with an overweight/obese individual, respectively. Conclusions: There are differences in the family structure of overweight/obese and normal weight adolescents.
