ABSTRACT

Introducción: hasta hace poco, el tratamiento estándar de oro para la hepatitis C eran los interferones pegilados (Peg-IFN) en combinación con la ribavirina (RBV). Con la llegada de nuevos fármacos, se propuso evaluar los resultados del tratamiento y a los pacientes en espera de la nueva terapia. Materiales y métodos: este estudio analítico transversal evaluó el resultado del tratamiento en individuos con hepatitis C crónica, y luego comparó a individuos que tienen experiencia en no responder al tratamiento basado en interferón (IFN) con individuos sin experiencia de tratamiento previo. Resultados: el estudio incluyó 192 individuos. Entre 87 pacientes sometidos a tratamiento, se observaron bajas tasas de respuesta viral sostenida (RVS). La comparación de los 105 pacientes no tratados previamente y los 87 que habían recibido tratamiento con IFN previamente evidenció que entre los pacientes en espera de nuevas terapias, los individuos sin tratamiento previo presentaron mayor proporción de genotipo 1 (68% frente a 49%; p = 0,028), menores niveles de ALT (91,1 ± 73,0 frente a 126,0 ± 73,40 U/L; p = 017), de AST (70,1 ± 51,3 frente a 89,7 ± 47,40 U/L; p = 050), de GGT (85,3 ± 85,1 frente a 148,4 ± 123,9 U/L; p = 0,007) y menor proporción de fibrosis significativa (24,3 frente a 83,3; p <0,001). Conclusiones: las tasas de RVS fueron bajas. La mayoría de posibles candidatos para el tratamiento por VHC no lo han tenido y son de genótipo-1 con histología leve.


Introduction: Until recently, treatment with a combination of pegylated interferons (Peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) was the gold standard treatment for hepatitis C. In anticipation of the arrival of new drugs, we evaluate current treatment outcomes and patients waiting for the new therapy. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study evaluated treatment outcomes among chronic hepatitis C patients, and then compared chronic non-responders and treatment naïve patients who were given interferon based-treatment. Results: The study included 192 individuals among whom were 87 patients who received treatment. Among treated patients, we observed low rates of sustained viral response. A comparison of 105 treatment-naïve patients and 87 who had previously received IFN treatment showed that among patients waiting for new therapies, naïve individuals presented a higher proportion of genotype 1 (68% vs. 49%; p = 0.028) than did previously treated patients, lower ALT (91.1 ± 73.0 vs. 126.0 ± 73.40 U/L; p =017), lower AST (70.1 ± 51.3 vs. 89.7 ± 47.40 U/L; p = 050), lower GGT (85.3 ± 85.1 vs. 148.4 ± 123.9 U/L; p = 0.007) levels and a lower proportion of significant fibrosis (24.3% vs. 83.3%; p < 0.001). Conclusions: SVR rates were low. Among potential candidates for HCV treatment, the majority are naïve, genotype-1 with mild histology.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Esse trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar o coeficiente de Morte Materna por hipertensão nos anos de 1996 a 2005 no estado de Santa Catarina. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo retrospectivo. A fonte oficial relativa aos óbitos maternos estudados é o Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade, tendo sido utilizada as bases de óbitos de residentes em Santa Catarina no período de 1996 a 2005. O número de nascidos vivos foi obtido a partir da base de dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos. Calculou-se o Coeficiente de Mortalidade Materna geral e o relacionado a distúrbios hipertensivos e a porcentagem de óbitos relacionados aos distúrbios hipertensivos no total geral. Resultados: No período do estudo ocorreram 79 óbitos maternos relacionados à hipertensão. Esse número corresponde a 20 % do total de óbitos maternos ocorridos. O coeficiente de mortalidade materna geral no período do estudo foi de 43,3 por 100000 nascidos vivos e o de mortalidade materna relacionada à hipertensão foi de 8,6 por 100000 nascidos vivos. Conclusões: As mortes maternas por hipertensão ainda representam 20% das mortes maternas no estado. Sabe-se que as complicações da hipertensão gestacional são passíveis de prevenção com a ampliação da cobertura pré-natal, preparação do pessoal de assistência (incluindo atenção primária), diagnóstico precoce de pacientes de alto risco e um sistema de referência eficaz e rápido para centros de atenção terciária.


Objective: To evaluate the maternal death rate related to hypertension from 1996 to 2005 in Santa Catarina State. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was made. The official source of maternal death is the Information System about Mortality. The database of deaths in Santa Catarina state from 1996 to 2005 was used. The number of born alive was gathered from the Information System about Born Alive databases. The general and hypertension maternal death rates are calculated along with the general death rate related to hypertension. Results: During the studied time 79 maternal deaths related to hypertension occurred. This number represents 20% of maternal deaths in the period. The general maternal death rate in the period was 43.3 by 100,000 born alive and the one related to hypertension was 8.6 by 100,000 born alive. Conclusions: Maternal deaths related to hypertension still represent 20% of maternal death in the state. It is known that the complications of gestational hypertension may be prevented by the broadening of prenatal coverage, training of personnel, early diagnosis of high risk patients and a quick and efficient reference system on the third health-attention level.
