Health-Related Quality of Life in Active Persons with Spinal Cord Injury / 体力科学

This study aims at identifying how sports activity status, level of residual function, and independence in activities of daily living (ADL) affect the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of persons with spinal cord injury (PSCI) who regularly participate in sports activities. Eighty-one male PSCI (21 persons with tetraplegia and 60 persons with paraplegia) who regularly participated in sports activities (wheelchair basketball or wheelchair twin basketball) were included in the present study. They were evaluated in terms of their characteristics, sports activity status, independence in ADL (Spinal Cord Independence Measure [SCIM]), and HRQOL (Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 [SF-36]). The age was a significant explanatory variable for physical functioning, role physical, and physical component summary (P < 0.05). On the other hand, the level of residual function was a significant explanatory variable for general health, vitality, mental health, and mental component summary (P < 0.05). The physical aspects of HRQOL of PSCI who regularly participate in sports activities were mainly affected by age, whereas the mental aspects were affected by the level of residual function.

La función renal residual en diálisis peritoneal / Residual renal uunction in peritoneal dialysis

Una mayor función renal residual (FRR) al comenzar el programa de diálisis y su persistencia durante dicho tratamiento, mejora el pronóstico y disminuye la mortalidad de los pacientes OBJETIVOS: PRINCIPAL: Determinarla (FRR) de pacientes en diálisis peritoneal intrahospitalaria (DPI) del Hospital Obrero No 1, Caja Nacional de Salud (CNS) La Paz, Bolivia. SECUNDARIOS: Determinar la relación de la FRR con el estado nutricional, morbilidad, anemia, pronóstico y sobrevida. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS Tipo de estudio: Analítico, transversal. Universo: El total de pacientes en DPI (28) del Hospital Obrero No 1 CNS. Tiempo: Del 1 de enero al 31 de diciembre de 2010. Metodología: Estimar la FRR, mediante gammagrafía renal. Cálculo del Kt/V y de la tasa de catabolismo proteico (TCP). Determinar la morbilidad asociada. El análisis estadístico: determinación de P de Pearson, regresión multivariable, valor P significativo < 0.05 RESULTADOS Los pacientes en DPI del Hospital Obrero No 1, fueron 28, el 56% del sexo femenino y 44% del sexo masculino, la edad promedio 56+/- 7.8 años (rango 16 a 86 años), el tiempo promedio de permanencia en diálisis fue de 3+/-1.5 años (rango 1 mes a 6.5 años). La FRR estuvo aun presente en 66% con un promedio de 5.6+/-1.28 ml/min, el volumen urinario residual fue de 1250+/-125 ml/24 horas, KtV 0.95+/-0.05. El 68% tenían TCP de 0.71+/-0.0112. La morbilidad detectada al momento del estudio: hipertensión, cardiopatía isquémica crónica y anemia. Esto fue más evidente en el grupo que no tenía función renal residual (34%, P<0,05). El análisis estadístico evidenció mejor estado nutricional, menor morbilidad y menor grado de anemia en pacientes con función renal residual que los que no la tenían (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONES Se confirmó la importancia de mantener la función renal residual que se relaciona con un mejor estado nutricional, menor morbilidad, menor grado de anemia, pronóstico y sobrevida.

Greater residual renal function at the beginning of the dialysis program and its persistence in such treatment improves outcome and reduces mortality of patients. OBJECTIVES: Mesure residual renal function in peritoneal dialysis patients at Obrero No 1 Hospital, CNS, La Paz, Bolivia. Determine the relationship of residual renal function with nutritional status, morbidity, anemia, prognosis and survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS Type of study: Analytical, cross. Studied population: Total patients in peritoneal dialysis (28) of the Obrero Hospital N° 1, CNS. Period of time for the investigation: January 1 to December 31, 2010. Methodology: Measure the residual renal function by renal scintigraphy, Kt/V and protein catabolic rate on line. Determine the associated morbidity. Statistical analysis: Pearson's P, multivariate regression, significant P value <0.05. RESULTS The patients in peritoneal dialysis of Obrero Working Hospital No 1, were 28; female 56 %, male 44 %, the average age 56 +/-7.8 years (range 16 to 86 years), average time of permanency in dialysis 3 +/-1.5 years (range 1 month to 6.5 years). The Residual Renal Function even present in 66 %, average 5.6 +/-1.28 ml/min, the urinary residual volume was of1250 +/-125 ml/24 hours, KtV0.95 +/-0.05. Sixty eight percent had TCP of 0.71 +/-0.0112. The morbidity detected at moment of the study: hypertension ischemic chronicle heart disease and anemia. This was more evident in the group that did not have renal residual function (34 %, P <0,05). The statistical analysis demonstrate better nutritional condition, minor morbidity and minor intensity of anemia in patients with renal residual function that those who did not have their (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS Was confirmed the importance of supporting the renal residual function that relates to better nutritional condition, minor morbidity, minor intensity of anemia, prognosis and survival.
