ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo Mapear evidências científicas nacionais e internacionais sobre a condução veicular por pessoas idosas. Método Revisão de escopo baseada no manual proposto pelo Joanna Briggs Institute. Para as buscas foram acessadas as bases MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO e a literatura cinzenta, por meio do Google Scholar. Resultados Dos 1.194 estudos encontrados, selecionaram-se 189 artigos submetidos aos critérios de elegibilidade. Os países precursores nas publicações foram Austrália e Estados Unidos, e o ápice das pesquisas ocorreu entre 2013 e 2014. Os participantes dos estudos eram pessoas idosas saudáveis, 63,49% (120); seguidos de 17,46% (33) com doença de Alzheimer; 11,11% (21) com Transtorno Neurocognitivo Leve; 6,88% (13) com doença de Parkinson; e 19,58% (37) com outras comorbidades. Diferentes tipos de intervenções foram identificadas nos estudos, destas, 94,02% (178) avaliaram a eficácia de instrumentos que mensuram a aptidão do motorista idoso. Conclusão Houve predominância de estudos na busca de instrumentos de avaliação que mensurassem a funcionalidade do condutor idoso. Esse fato ratifica a importância de avaliação padronizada, validada e economicamente viável que colabore na identificação do motorista em risco. Evidenciou-se a necessidade de intervenções para a prática da geriatria e gerontologia, por meio de ações para formação de equipe multidisciplinar especializada em condução veicular, de modo a adequar as diretrizes de licenciamento a fim de atender às especificidades dos condutores idosos, considerando os aspectos sociais, econômicos, políticos e educacionais, especialmente nos departamentos de trânsito brasileiro.


Abstract Objective To map national and international scientific evidence regarding driving by older adults. Method Scope review based on the manual proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Searches were conducted in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO databases, and grey literature through Google Scholar. Results Out of 1,194 studies identified, 189 papers meeting eligibility criteria were selected. Pioneering countries in publications were Australia and the United States, with the peak of research occurring between 2013 and 2014. Study participants included healthy older adults (63.49%, 120), followed by those with Alzheimer's disease (17.46%, 33), Mild Neurocognitive Disorder (11.11%, 21), Parkinson's disease (6.88%, 13), and other comorbidities (19.58%, 37). Various interventions were identified, with 94.02% (178) assessing the effectiveness of instruments measuring the fitness of older drivers. Conclusion There was a prevalence of studies aimed at identifying assessment tools to measure the functionality of older drivers. This underscores the importance of standardized, validated, and economically viable assessments that contribute to identifying at-risk drivers. The need for interventions in geriatrics and gerontology was evident, emphasizing the necessity for actions to establish a specialized multidisciplinary team in vehicular driving. This approach seeks to align licensing guidelines with the specific needs of older drivers, taking into account social, economic, political, and educational aspects, particularly within the Brazilian traffic departments.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el papel que los factores de personalidad pertenecientes a los Cinco Grandes y la Tríada Oscura -maquiavelismo, narcisismo y psicopatía- tienen en la conducción agresiva. La muestra se compuso de 318 estudiantes universitarios con permiso de conducir, quienes contestaron a una batería de pruebas que evaluaba los factores de personalidad de los Cinco Grandes (TIPI), la Tríada Oscura (DD) y la conducción agresiva (DAS y DAX). Los análisis de regresión jerárquica controlando las variables de edad y sexo, respaldan la utilidad predictiva de los factores de personalidad de los Cinco Grandes y la Tríada Oscura. Los resultados mostraron cómo la afabilidad, la estabilidad emocional y la apertura a la experiencia predicen de manera significativa diversos aspectos de la conducción agresiva. El maquiavelismo y el narcisismo son predictores significativos de diversas formas de expresión de la ira en la conducción, una vez controlados los efectos de los Cinco Grandes.


Abstract The aim of this paper was to analyze the role that personality traits belonging to the Big Five and the Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) have on aggressive driving. 318 undergraduate students with a driver's license completed a battery of tests assessing Big Five personality traits (TIPI), Dark Triad (DD) and aggressive driving (DAS and DAX). Hierarchical regressions analyses controlling for respondents' age and gender variables supported the predictive utility of the Big Five personality traits and the Dark Triad. Results showed that agreeableness, emotional stability and openness to experience predict various aspects of aggressive driving. Machiavellianism and narcissism are significant predictors of various forms of anger expression in driving after controlling for the effects of the Big Five personality traits.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: investigar a associação entre força de preensão manual e características sociodemográficas e clínicas de idosos condutores de veículos automotores. Método: estudo transversal, realizado em clínicas de medicina de tráfego na cidade de Curitiba/Paraná, com 421 idosos (≥ 60 anos). Realizou-se análise estatística pelo modelo de Regressão Logística e Teste de Wald, considerando intervalo de confiança de 95% e valores de p <0,05 como significativos. Resultados: oitenta e quatro (20%) idosos apresentaram força de preensão manual reduzida. A força de preensão manual reduzida foi associada à faixa etária (p=0,001) e à hospitalização no último ano (p=0,002). Conclusão: houve associação significativa entre a força de preensão manual de idosos motoristas e as variáveis idade e hospitalização no último ano. Dessa forma, torna-se essencial a inclusão de avaliações específicas, centradas nas variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas próprias da pessoa idosa, durante o exame de aptidão para dirigir veículos automotores.(AU)


Objective: to investigate the association between handgrip strength and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of elderly automobile drivers. Method: cross-sectional study, carried out in traffic medicine clinics in the city of Curitiba/Paraná, with 421 elderly people (≥ 60 years old). Statistical analysis was performed using the Logistic Regression model and the Wald Test, considering a 95% confidence interval and p values <0.05 as significant. Results: eighty-four (20%) seniors had reduced handgrip strength. Reduced handgrip strength was associated with age group (p=0.001) and hospitalization in the last year (p=0.002). Conclusion: there was a significant association between the handgrip strength of elderly drivers and the variables age and hospitalization in the last year. Thus, it is essential to include specific assessments, centered on sociodemographic and clinical variables specific to the elderly person, during the aptitude test to drive automobiles.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE This study aimed to measure the proportion of Uber use instead of drinking and driving in ten Brazilian capitals, in 2019. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was developed in ten Brazilian capitals. Data were collected in agglomeration points (AP) and sobriety checkpoints (SC). Based on responses to a standardized questionnaire, the proportion of drivers who used Uber instead of drinking and driving was measured for total sample of each methodology and stratified by municipality, age group, gender, education level, and type of vehicle. Fisher's exact test was used to make comparisons between the strata. RESULTS A total of 8,864 drivers were interviewed. The most used means of transport to replace driving after drinking alcohol was the Uber system (AP: 54.6%; 95%CI: 51.2-58.0. SC: 58.6%; 95%CI: 55.2-61.9). Most of these users were aged from 18 to 29 years, women, with at least one higher education degree. According to the AP methodology, the highest magnitude of this indicator was found in Vitória (ES) (71.0%; 95%CI: 63.5-77.5), whereas the lowest was observed in Teresina (PI) (33.1%; 95%CI: 22.7-45.5). According to the SC methodology, the highest magnitude of the indicator was also found in Vitória (ES) (78.3%; 95%CI: 68.8-85.5), whereas the lowest was observed in Boa Vista (RR) (36.6%; 95%CI: 26.8-47.7). CONCLUSION In Brazilian capitals, the study showed higher proportions of Uber use instead of drinking and driving. This type of scientific evidence on factors associated with road traffic injuries presents the potential to guide public health interventions.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze handgrip strength as a predictor of the inability to drive in older adults. Method: a cross-sectional study conducted in traffic clinics with 421 older adults in Curitiba-Paraná from January 2015 to December 2018. A sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, handgrip strength test, and queries from the National Registry of Qualified Drivers form were applied. Results: Reduced handgrip strength was not a predictor of inaptitude for vehicular driving (p=0.649). The predictors of inaptitude were: low education (p=0.011), incomplete elementary education (p=0.027), and cognition (p=0.020). Conclusion: reduced handgrip strength was not shown to predict for loss of driving skills in older adults. Low education level and reduced cognition level are conditions that were shown to be predictors for loss of vehicular driving license.


RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar la fuerza de prensión manual como factor predictivo de inaptitud para la conducción vehicular de adultos mayores. Método: se trata de un estudio transversal llevado a cabo en clínicas de tránsito de Curitiba, Paraná, entre 421 adultos mayores, de enero de 2015 a diciembre de 2018. Se aplicaron los cuestionarios sociodemográfico y clínico, la prueba de fuerza de prensión manual y se consultó el formulario del Registro Nacional de Conductores Habilitados. Resultados: la fuerza de prensión manual reducida no fue un factor predictivo de la incapacidad para conducir (p=0,649). Los predictores de inaptitud fueron: baja educación (p=0,011), estudios primarios incompletos (p=0,027) y cognición (p=0,020). Conclusión: la fuerza de prensión manual reducida no demostró ser predictora de la pérdida de habilidades de conducción vehicular en adultos mayores. El nivel de escolaridad bajo y el nivel cognitivo reducido despuntaron como predictores de la pérdida de habilitación en la conducción vehicular.


RESUMO Objetivo: analisar a força de preensão manual como preditora de inaptidão para condução veicular de idosos. Método: estudo transversal realizado em clínicas de trânsito com 421 idosos em Curitiba-Paraná de janeiro de 2015 a dezembro de 2018. Aplicaram-se questionários sociodemográfico e clínico, teste de força preensão manual e consultas ao formulário de Registro Nacional de Condutores Habilitados. Resultados: A força de preensão manual reduzida não se mostrou preditora de inaptidão para a direção veicular (p=0,649). Os preditores de inaptidão foram: baixa escolaridade (p=0,011), ensino primário incompleto (p=0,027) e cognição (p=0,020). Conclusão: a força de preensão manual reduzida não se mostrou preditora para perda da habilitação na condução veicular de idosos. O baixo nível de escolaridade, o nível de cognição reduzida, são condições que se mostraram preditoras para a perda da habilitação na condução veicular.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE@#This study aimed to investigate the possible association between psychological disorders and risky driving behavior (RDB) in Iran.@*METHODS@#This case-control study conducted in Shiraz, Iran in 2021. The case group included drivers with psychological disorders and the control group included those without any disorders. The inclusion criteria for selecting patients were: active driving at the time of the study, being 18 - 65 years old, having a driving license, having a psychological disorder including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety spectrum disorder, or psychotic disorder spectrum confirmed by a psychiatrist, and completing an informed consent form. The exclusion criterion was the existence of conditions that interfered with answering and understanding the questions. The inclusion criteria for selecting the healthy cases were: active driving at the time of the study, being 18 - 65 years old, having a driving license, lack of any past or present history of psychiatric problems, and completing an informed consent form. The data were gathered using a researcher-made checklist and Manchester driving behavior questionnaire. First, partition around medoids method was used to extract clusters of RDB. Then, backward logistic regression was applied to investigate the association between the independent variables and the clusters of RDB.@*RESULTS@#The sample comprised of 344 (153 with psychological disorder and 191 without confirmed psychological disorder) drivers. Backward elimination logistic regression on total data revealed that share of medical expenditure ≤ 10% of total household expenditure (OR = 3.27, 95% CI: 1.48 - 7.24), psychological disorder (OR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.67 - 5.70), and substance abuse class (OR = 6.38, 95% CI: 3.55 - 11.48) were associated with high level of RDB.@*CONCLUSION@#Substance abuse, psychological illnesses, and share of medical costs from total household expenditure were found to be main predictors of RDB. Further investigations are necessary to explain the impact of different psychological illnesses on driving behavior.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To elucidate the phenomenon that epileptic seizure occurs in patients with epilepsy without definite diagnosis when driving a motor vehicle and its hazards.Methods:From January 2020 to June 2022, 7 epileptic patients who experienced traffic accidents caused by seizures were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, and their demographic data, traffic accident related data and epilepsy diagnosis and treatment data were summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 7 adult patients with epilepsy were collected, including 6 males, 4 of whom had been driving for more than 10 years. Among them, 1 patient drove a bus, and the other 6 patients drove private cars. Totally 5/7 of the accidents resulted in personal injury, and 3/7 of the accidents resulted in personal death. In 5 patients, video electroencephalogram showed interictal epileptiform discharges. In 2 patients, the imaging findings suggested the presence of cerebral cortical lesions that may lead to seizures. In terms of the form of seizure, 3 patients′ seizure type was focal to bilateral tonic-clonic, and the other 4 patients were very probable to be focal impaired awareness seizure.Conclusions:Undiagnosed epileptic seizures lead to traffic accidents, endanger patients and public safety, which need to attract attention from both doctors and patients, as well as the whole society.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Traffic accidents by older drivers are a social urgent problem. The National Police Agency (NPA) in Japan has institutionalized the Cognitive Function Test (NPA test) for renewal of a driver's license for older adults. However, driving ability cannot be simply evaluated by usual cognitive tests on the desk. Objective: It is important to add an on-road test, but if not possible, we can use simulators. Before doing simulators, it is important to use the right foot to control the accelerator and brake pedals. We applied the Posner paradigm (visual attention test) for lower extremities. Methods: The participants were older adults. They and their families had anxiety about their driving. The 66 participants (44 men and 22 women) were divided into groups with and without experience of a traffic accident, and the following tests were examined: General cognitive and executive function tests, the NPA test, and an original Lower Extremity Reaction Test. Each participant was asked to press the "brake" or "accelerator" pedal by the right foot as quickly as possible in response to a traffic situation shown on the screen. Results: Compared to participants with favorable reactions to the Lower Extremity Reaction Test, those with poor reaction time tended to have more traffic accidents (OR=6.82), rather than the result of the NPA test. Conclusions: The results suggest that the probability of having a traffic accident can be better evaluated using the Lower Extremity Reaction Test.


RESUMO Os acidentes de trânsito por motoristas idosos são um problema social urgente. A Agência Nacional de Polícia (National Police Agency - NPA) no Japão institucionalizou o Teste de Função Cognitiva (teste NPA) para renovação de carteira de motorista para idosos. No entanto, a capacidade de dirigir não pode ser avaliada simplesmente por testes cognitivos usuais escritos. Objetivo: É importante adicionar um teste em estrada, mas se não for possível, simuladores podem ser utilizados. Antes de fazer simulações, é importante usar o pé direito para controlar os pedais do acelerador e do freio. Aplicamos o paradigma de Posner (teste de atenção visual) para extremidades inferiores. Métodos: Os participantes eram idosos. Eles e suas famílias tinham ansiedade sobre a condução de veículos. Os 66 participantes (44 homens e 22 mulheres) foram divididos em grupos com e sem experiência de acidente de trânsito, e foram examinados os seguintes testes: testes cognitivos gerais e funções executivas, o teste NPA, e um Teste de Reação de Extremidade Inferior original. Cada participante foi solicitado a pressionar o pedal de "freio" ou "acelerador" com o pé direito o mais rápido possível em resposta a uma situação de trânsito mostrada na tela. Resultados: Comparados aos participantes com reações favoráveis ao Teste de Reação de Extremidade Inferior, aqueles com tempo de reação ruim tenderam a ter mais acidentes de trânsito (OR=6,82) do que o resultado do teste NPA. Conclusões: s resultados sugerem que a probabilidade de ocorrência de um acidente de trânsito pode ser melhor avaliada por meio do Teste de Reação da Extremidade Inferior.

ABSTRACT

Objetivou-se realizar uma adaptação da Positive Driver Behaviours Scale (PDBS) para o Brasil e verificar se seria possível propor uma medida reduzida. O instrumento originalmente composto por 38 itens foi apli-cado a 204 motoristas do Brasil, sendo a maioria homens (65,7%), com média de 35,6 anos. O resultado mostrou a possibilidade de uma estrutura unifatorial, composta por um total de 19 itens e alfa de Cronba-ch = 0,90, explicando 37,9% da variância total. Destaca-se a relevância dessa medida, pois ela fornece um subsídio capaz de medir comportamento no trânsito. Além disso, oferece suporte para os profissionais e psicólogos do trânsito, de modo a instrumentalizar as práticas. Permite ainda uma compreensão do fenô-meno dos transportes, o que pode facilitar o desenvolvimento de medidas eficazes no combate aos acidentes


The objective of this study was to carry out an adaptation of the Positive Driver Behaviors Scale (PDBS) for Brazil and verify if it would be possible to propose a brief version of the scale. The instrument originally composed of 38 items was applied to 204 motorists in Brazil, the majority being men (65.7%), with a mean age of 35.6 years. The result showed the possibility of a one-factor structure, consisting of a total of 19 items and Cronbach's alpha = .90, explaining 37.9% of the total variance. The relevance of this measure is highlighted because it is a tool capable of evaluating non-traffic behavior. Besides, it provides support to traffic professionals and psychologists, in order to instrumentalize their practices. It also allows further understanding of the phenomenon of transport, which can facilitate the development of effective measures to combat accidents.

El instrumento originalmente compuesto por 38 ítems fue apli-cado a 204 conductores del Brasil, la mayoría siendo hombres (65,7%), con un promedio de edad de 35,6 años. El resultado mostró la posibilidad de una estructura unifactorial, compuesta por un total de 19 ítems y alfa de Cronbach = 0,90, explicando los 37,9% de la variancia total. Se destaca la relevancia de esta me-dida, porque ofrece un subsidio capaz de medir comportamiento en el tránsito. Además, ofrece soporte para los profesionales y psicólogos del tránsito, instrumentalizando prácticas. También permite una com-prensión del fenómeno de los transportes, lo que puede facilitar el desarrollo de medidas eficaces para combatir los accidentes.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this investigation is to show the relationships between the use of Mobile Driving Applications and Devices (MDAD) with self-reported road accidents, anger, physical health, and subjective wellbeing, in three types of Colombian drivers. The sample is non-randomized (n = 1149) and 93.2% are male drivers. Results showed that (a) for professional drivers, there is an inverse correlation between the use of MDAD with lower driving frequency during weekdays and a higher educational level, (b) for occasional drivers, GPS use was directly associated with fatal road accidents and low driving frequency during weekdays, (C) for private drivers, correlations were found between MDAD broader usage, higher levels of both aggression and perceived driving difficulty as well as physical health problems mainly hypertension and diabetes. It is necessary to conduct in-depth research on MDAD uses, health, and driving styles, by controlling social desirability.


Resumen El objetivo de esta investigación es mostrar las relaciones entre el uso de Dispositivos y Aplicaciones Móviles para la Conducción (DAMC) con la accidentalidad vial auto reportada, la ira, la salud física y el bienestar subjetivo, en tres tipos de conductores colombianos. La muestra es no aleatoria (n = 1149) y el 93.2% son conductores varones. Los resultados muestran que (a) en conductores profesionales, hay una correlación inversa entre el uso de DAMC con una menor fre-cuencia de conducción entre semana y con un mayor nivel educativo, (b) en conductores ocasionales, mayor uso de GPS asociado con accidentes fatales y con menor frecuencia de conducción entre semana, (C) en conductores particulares, mayor uso de DAMC relacionado con niveles más altos de agresividad y de dificultad percibida para conducir, y con más problemas de salud -principalmente hipertensión y diabetes. Es necesario realizar investigaciones en profundidad acerca de los usos de DAMC, salud y estilos de conducción, mediante el control de la deseabilidad social.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Objetivo: Determinar la relación de la presión de distensión pulmonar (DP) con la mortalidad en pacientes bajo ventilación mecánica (VM) con COVID-19. Material y métodos: Estudio de cohorte en pacientes con COVID-19 y VM de marzo a septiembre de 2020, se compararon dos grupos, expuesto (pacientes con DP superior a 13 cmH2O) y no expuestos (pacientes con DP igual o menor a 13 cmH2O), se analizó la edad, sexo, hipertensión arterial (HTA), diabetes, obesidad, enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), inmunosupresión y enfermedad cardiovascular. Resultados: Con un total de 90 pacientes, la DP alta mostró ser un factor de riesgo para defunción (p = 0.000) al igual que la HTA (p = 0.013) y la inmunosupresión (p = 0.040). En pacientes hipertensos se encontró una DP de 10 cmH2O como meta de protección pulmonar, la cual se relaciona con la probabilidad de morir en 49.6% incrementando a 89.6% cuando existe una DP de 13 cmH2O. Conclusiones: Ochenta por ciento de la población tiene alto riesgo de mortalidad cuando existe DP alta, e incremento de mortalidad cuando se asocia con HTA e inmunosuprimidos. El resultado más importante fue la relación de mortalidad de la DP en pacientes hipertensos.


Abstract: Objective: To determine the relationship of driving pressure (DP) with mortality in patients under mechanical ventilation (MV) with COVID-19. Material and methods: Cohort study in patients with COVID-19 and MV from March to September 2020, two groups were compared, exposed (patients with DP greater than 13 cmH2O) and unexposed (patients with DP equal to or less than 13 cmH2O), age was analyzed, sex, hypertension (HT), diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), immunosuppression, and cardiovascular disease. Results: With a total of 90 patients, high DP was shown to be a risk factor for death (p = 0.000) as well as hypertension (p = 0.013) and immunosuppression (p = 0.040). In hypertensive patients, a DP of 10 cmH2O was found as a lung protection goal, which is related to the probability of dying in 49.6%, increasing to 89.6% when there is a DP of 13 cmH2O. Conclusions: 80% of the population has a high risk of mortality when there is high DP, and an increase in mortality when associated with hypertension and immunosuppression. The most important result was the mortality ratio of DP in hypertensive patients.

Resultados: Com um total de 90 pacientes, a DP elevada mostrou-se fator de risco para óbito (p = 0.000), assim como hipertensão (p = 0.013) e imunossupressão (p = 0.040). Em pacientes hipertensos, encontrou-se uma DP de 10 cmH2O como meta de proteção pulmonar, que está relacionada à probabilidade de morrer em 49.6%, aumentando para 89.6% quando há DP de 13 cmH2O. Conclusões: 80% da população tem alto risco de mortalidade quando há DP elevada, e mortalidade aumentada quando associada à hipertensão e imunossupressão. O resultado mais importante foi a razão de mortalidade da DP em pacientes hipertensos.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: La intensidad de la ventilación mecánica está reflejada por la presión de conducción dinámica y el poder mecánico. Es un predictor de lesión pulmonar inducida por el ventilador y está asociada a la mortalidad. Objetivo: Determinar si existe relación entre intensidad de la ventilación mecánica y el ΔSOFA>0 (agravamiento) en los pacientes con la COVID-19 a las 72 horas después de la intubación. Material y Métodos: Grupo de estudio conformado por 35 pacientes diagnosticados con la COVID-19 que estuvieron ventilados por más de 72 horas. Se empleó la prueba de Chi cuadrado (X 2 ) o test exacto de Fisher para comparar variables cualitativas; para las cuantitativas se empleó la prueba t de Student o U de Mann-Whitney. Se realizó una Regresión Logística Binaria Simple para encontrar relación de las variables con ΔSOFA dicotomizada para ΔSOFA≤0 y ΔSOFA>0. La capacidad discriminativa de los modelos se evaluó mediante la Curva ROC. Resultados: Presentaron SOFA>0 21 pacientes (60 %). No se encontraron diferencias significativas de la Presión de Conducción entre ambos grupos (15 vs. 18, U=94.00, z= -1,795, p=0,77). Fueron buenas predictoras de ΔSOFA>0 el Poder Mecánico (OR 3,421 [95 % IC1,510 a 7,750, p=0,003]) y el Volumen Tidal (OR 1,03 [95 % IC 1,012 a 1,068], p=0,005). El Modelo Predictivo de ΔSOFA>0 en función del Poder Mecánico (AUC 0,888 [95 % IC 0,775 a 1], p<0,001) mostró una buena capacidad discriminatoria. Conclusiones: El Poder Mecánico está relacionado con el agravamiento de la disfunción multiorgánica en pacientes sometidos a ventilación mecánica por la COVID-19.


ABSTRACT Introduction: The intensity of mechanical ventilation is reflected by driving pressure and mechanical power. It is a predictor of ventilator-induced lung injury and it can be associated with mortality. Objective: To determine if there is a relationship between intensity of mechanical ventilation and ΔSOFA>0 (worsening) in patients with COVID-19 at 72 h after intubation. Material and Methods: Study group composed of 35 COVID-19 patients who were ventilated for more than 72 hours. Chi-square test (X 2 ) or Fisher's exact test was used to compare qualitative variables; Student t test or Mann-Whitney U test was employed for quantitative ones. A Simple Binary Logistic Regression Model was performed in order to find the relationship between variables and dichotomized ΔSOFA for ΔSOFA≤0 and ΔSOFA>0. The discriminatory capacity of the models was tested by using ROC Curve. Results: A total of 21 patients (60 %) presented ΔSOFA>0 (worsening). No significant differences related to Driving Pressure were found between the two groups (15 vs. 18, U=94,00, z= -1,795, p=0,77). Mechanical Power (OR 3,421 [95 % CI 1,510 a 7,750, p=0,003]) and Tidal Volume (OR 1,03 [95 % CI 1,012 a 1,068], p=0,005) were good predictors of ΔSOFA>0. The Predictive Model of ΔSOFA>0 depending on Mechanical Power (AUC 0,888 [95 % CI 0,775 a 1], p<0,001) showed a good discriminatory capacity. Conclusions: Mechanical Power is related to multi-organ dysfunction worsening in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: Age-related cognitive decline impacts cognitive abilities essential for driving. Objective: We aimed to measure main cognitive functions associated with a high number of traffic violations in different driving settings. Methods: Thirty-four elderly individuals, aged between 65 and 90 years, were evaluated with a driving simulator in four different settings (Intersection, Overtaking, Rain, and Malfunction tasks) and underwent a battery of cognitive tests, including memory, attention, visuospatial, and cognitive screening tests. Individuals were divided into two groups: High-risk driving (HR, top 20% of penalty points) and normal-risk driving (NR). Non-parametric group comparison and regression analysis were performed. Results: The HR group showed higher total driving penalty score compared to the NR group (median=29, range= 9-44 vs. median=61, range= 47-97, p<0.001). The HR group showed higher penalty scores in the Intersection task (p<0.001) and the Overtaking and Rain tasks (p<0.05 both). The verbal learning score was significantly lower in the HR group (median=33, range=12-57) compared with the NR group (median=38, range=23-57, p<0.05), and it was observed that this score had the best predictive value for worse driving performance in the regression model. General cognitive screening tests (Mini-Mental State Examination and Addenbrooke's Cognitive Evaluation) were similar between the groups (p>0.05), with a small effect size (Cohen's d=0.3 both). Conclusion: The verbal learning score may be a better predictor of driving risk than cognitive screening tests. High-risk drivers also showed significantly higher traffic driving penalty scores in the Intersection, Overtaking, and Rain tests.


RESUMO Antecedentes: O declínio cognitivo relacionado à idade impacta as habilidades cognitivas essenciais para direção. Objetivos: Nosso objetivo foi medir as funções cognitivas associadas ao alto número de violações de trânsito em diferentes contextos de direção. Métodos: Trinta e quatro idosos entre 65 e 90 anos foram avaliados em simulador de direção em quatro diferentes contextos (Travessia, Ultrapassagem, Chuva e Mal-funcionamento) e realizaram uma série de testes cognitivos, incluindo memória, atenção, visuoespacial e rastreamento. Indivíduos foram então divididos em dois grupos: Alto Risco de condução (HR, top 20% de pontos de penalidades de condução), e Risco Normal (NR). Comparações não-paramétricas e análise de regressão foram realizadas. Resultados: O grupo HR mostrou aumento no escore total de penalidades de condução quando comparado com o grupo NR (mediana=29, limites=9-44 vs. mediana=61, limites=47-97, p<0.001). O grupo HR mostrou maiores escores de penalidade na tarefa de Travessia (p<0.001), Ultrapassagem e Chuva (p<0.05 ambos). O escore de aprendizado verbal foi significativamente menor no grupo HR (mediana=33, limite=12-57) comparado com o grupo NR (mediana=38, limite=23-57, p<0.05), e foi observado que este escore foi o melhor preditor de pior performance de condução no modelo de regressão. Testes de rastreio cognitivo (Mini-exame do estado mental e Avaliação Cognitiva de Addenbroke) foram similar entre os grupos (p>0.05), com pequena magnitude de efeito (Cohen's d=0.3). Conclusões: O escore de aprendizado verbal pode ser o melhor preditor de risco de condução do que os testes de rastreio cognitivos. Motoristas de alto risco também mostraram maior escores de penalidade de trânsito nos testes de Travessia, Ultrapassagem e Chuva.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To assess factors associated with the habit of drinking and driving and estimating the variations in the prevalence of this behavior in 2013 and 2019, considering information from the two editions of the Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS - National Survey of Health). METHODS PNS is a nationwide cross-sectional home-based study. In 2013 and 2019, 60,202 and 85,854 individuals were interviewed, respectively. To assess the association between the indicator "drinking and driving" and the study variables, crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were estimated using logistic regression models. To compare the prevalence between the studied years, a Pearson's chi-squared test adjusted by the Rao-Scott correction (which considers the effect of the sampling plan) and converted into an F statistic, tested at a 5% significance level, was used. RESULTS The prevalence of drinking and driving was higher among men in 2013 (27.4%; 95%CI 25.6-29.3%) and 2019 (20.5%; 95%CI 19.4-21.7%) than among women (11.9%; 95%CI 9.9-14.2% and 7.2%; 95%CI 6.7-9.0%, respectively). Inidviduals aged 30 to 39, who lived without a partner, in rural areas, and were motorcycle drivers had significantly higher estimates. Men with higher income had higher prevalence of drinking and driving. From 2013 to 2019, the act of drinking and driving significantly decreased. Regarding traffic accidents, ORs were significant (p < 0.01) in the studied years for both men and women. DISCUSSION Results show the need to continue policies to monitor blood alcohol level and traffic education, with specific actions directed to rural areas and motorcycle drivers.


RESUMO OBJETIVO Investigar os fatores associados ao hábito de beber e dirigir, bem como estimar as variações nas prevalências desse comportamento entre os anos de 2013 e 2019, por meio das informações das duas edições da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS). MÉTODOS A PNS é um estudo transversal, de âmbito nacional e base domiciliar. Nos anos de 2013 e 2019, foram entrevistados, respectivamente, 60.202 e 85.854 indivíduos. Para investigar a associação entre o indicador "beber e dirigir" e as variáveis do estudo, as razões de chances (RC) brutas e ajustadas foram estimadas por meio de modelos de regressão logística. Para a comparação das prevalências entre os anos estudados, foi utilizado o teste Qui-Quadrado de Pearson ajustado pela correção de Rao-Scott (que leva em consideração o efeito do plano de amostragem) e convertido em uma estatística F, testada no nível de significância de 5%. RESULTADOS A prevalência do hábito de beber e dirigir foi maior entre os homens no ano de 2013 (27,4%; IC95% 25,6-29,3%) e no ano de 2019 (20,5%; IC95% 19,4-21,7%) do que entre as mulheres (11,9%; IC95% 9,9-14,2% e 7,2%; IC95% 6,7-9,0%, respectivamente). Estimativas significativamente mais altas foram apresentadas por pessoas de 30 anos a 39 anos, que vivem sem companheiro(a), residentes em áreas rurais e condutores de motocicleta. Maiores prevalências de beber e dirigir foram encontradas entre homens que possuem maior rendimento. Entre os anos de 2013 e 2019, foi observado um decréscimo significativo no ato de beber e dirigir. Quanto ao envolvimento em acidentes de trânsito, as RC foram significativas (p < 0,01) nos anos estudados em ambos os sexos. DISCUSSÃO Os resultados mostram a necessidade de dar continuidade às políticas de fiscalização de alcoolemia e educação no trânsito, com ações específicas dirigidas às áreas rurais e aos condutores de motocicletas.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: Una ventilación eficiente es fundamental en COVID-19, pero se debe aplicar un presión de distensión (PD) y el poder mecánico (PM) apropiado. Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación de la presión de distensión y el poder mecánico con la mortalidad en pacientes con COVID-19 grave-crítico. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, transversal, analítico, retrospectivo. Mediante análisis estadístico bivariado y multivariado se determinó si el DP y el PM se asocian con la mortalidad, considerando significativa una p < 0.05. Resultados: Se incluyeron 137 pacientes con COVID-19 grave-crítico, de edad media 55.8 ± 16.4 años. Las comorbilidades fueron hipertensión arterial 85 (62%), obesidad 62 (45.3%) y diabetes mellitus 50 (36.5%). La mortalidad fue de 71 (52.3%). En enfermedad grave el DP fue de 14.2 ± 5.1 cmH2O y en enfermedad crítica fue de 11.3 ± 5.0 cmH2O (p = 0.001). Los valores medios del PM con COVID-19 grave fueron 19.5 ± 19.3 J/min y en COVID-19 crítico fueron 29.1 ± 27.6 J/min (p = 0.026). El área bajo la curva (AUC) del DP para predecir mortalidad fue de 0.740 (p < 0.001) y del PM 0.569 (p = 0.171). En el análisis multivariado los factores independientemente asociados a mortalidad fueron la edad (ORa = 1.041, IC95% 1.015-1.068, p = 0.002) y el DP (ORa = 1.207, IC95% 1.101-1.322, p < 0.001). Conclusión: La presión de distensión es un predictor independiente y significativo de mortalidad en pacientes con COVID-19 grave- crítico.


Abstract: Introduction: Efficient ventilation is essential in COVID-19 but an appropriate driving pressure (DP) and mechanical power (PM) must be applied. Objective: To evaluate the association of driving pressure and mechanical power with mortality in patients with severe-critical COVID-19. Material and methods: Observational, cross-sectional, analytical, retrospective study. Through bivariate and multivariate statistical analysis, it was determined if the DP and PM are associated with mortality, considering significant a p < 0.05. Results: 137 patients with severe-critical COVID-19, mean age 55.8 ± 16.4 years, were included. The comorbidities were arterial hypertension 85 (62%), obesity 62 (45.3%) and diabetes mellitus 50 (36.5%). Mortality was 71 (52.3%). In severe illness, the DP was 14.2 ± 5.1 cmH2O and in critical illness it was 11.3 ± 5.0 cmH2O (p = 0.001). The mean PM values with severe COVID-19 were 19.5 ± 19.3 J/min and in critical COVID-19 they were 29.1 ± 27.6 J/min (p = 0.026). The AUC of DP to predict mortality was 0.740 (p < 0.001) and of PM 0.569 (p = 0.171). In the multivariate analysis, the factors independently associated with mortality were age (ORa = 1.041, CI95% 1.015-1.068, p = 0.002) and DP (ORa = 1.207, CI95% 1.101-1.322, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Driving pressure is an independent and significant predictor of mortality in patients with severe-critical COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo clarify the spatial distribution characteristics of medicinal plant resources in Gansu province, analyze the causes, changing trends, and driving factors of the spatial differentiation, and thus lay a scientific basis for the rational development and sustainable development of medicinal plant resources in this province. MethodBased on the data of The Fourth National Survey of Chinese Medicine Resources, the richness and spatial distribution difference of medicinal plant resources in 87 counties (districts) of Gansu province were analyzed via the global spatial autocorrelation analysis, trend surface analysis, local spatial autocorrelation analysis, and hotspot analysis. Moreover, the correlation of vegetation type, soil texture, annual average temperature, annual average precipitation, and altitude with the spatial distribution pattern of the medicinal plant resources was discussed. ResultCounties (districts) with high or low richness of medicinal plant resources in Gansu province were respectively clustered together. To be specific, counties (districts) with high richness of the medicinal resources were mainly in southeastern Gansu, while those with low richness in northwestern Gansu. The leading driving factors affecting the cold and hot spots included vegetation type, soil texture, and average annual rainfall. ConclusionThe species richness of medicinal plant resources in Gansu province rises from west to east and from north to south. The natural driving factors are the key to the diversity and spatial distribution pattern of medicinal plant resources, which show significant influence on them.

ABSTRACT

Objective:We aimed to examine the clinical validity of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)-III for resuming automobile driving in patients with brain injury.Methods:A total of 71 patients who requested to resume driving after brain injuries were included, with 43 and 28 patients categorized in the resumed and non-resumed driving groups, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed by comparing the sub-items of the WAIS-III between the groups. The reference value of accurate determinants was estimated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Results:The results of the ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves for full-scale intelligence quotient (FIQ), performance IQ (PIQ), and perceptual organization index (POI) were higher than 0.7 (with moderate predictive accuracy). The cutoff values were as follows with high specificity and low sensitivity:PIQ, 98.5;FIQ, 107;and PO, 107.Conclusion:The cutoff values of the FIQ, PIQ, and POI of the WAIS-III were inadequate predictors for resumption of driving in patients with brain injury. However, if patients had all three scores less than 70, it was suggested that they refrain from driving.
