RESUMO

Resumen: Introducción: a medida que se invierte la pirámide poblacional, se viven vidas más largas y activas, se vuelven más frecuentes los pacientes geriátricos con trauma de alta energía; requiriendo más recursos, obteniéndose peores resultados, con más complicaciones perioperatorias, hacen a estas fracturas difíciles de manejar. Establecida la hipótesis de que la incidencia de las fracturas de pelvis y acetábulo, en el adulto mayor por trauma de alta energía, es superior a la reportada en la literatura mundial, se generó la pregunta de investigación: ¿Cuál es la incidencia de fracturas de pelvis y acetábulo por trauma de alta energía en el adulto mayor en un período de cinco años? Material y métodos: una vez obtenida la autorización del Comité de Ética, se realizó un estudio observacional de una cohorte retrospectiva, utilizando registros médicos, identificando la incidencia de estas fracturas, tratadas quirúrgicamente en nuestro hospital de III nivel, Clínica Las Vegas, Medellín, Colombia, del 1 de Julio de 2016 a 30 de Junio de 2021. Resultados: se calculó una incidencia acumulada de 1.95 nuevos casos por cada 100,000 personas-año, una prevalencia de 13.8%; resultando en una mayor incidencia y prevalencia, confirmándose nuestra hipótesis. Conclusión: el tratamiento debe orientarse a mejorar la calidad de vida con una fijación estable, identificación y tratamiento de lesiones asociadas, minimizando el riesgo de complicaciones mecánicas y priorizar el reforzamiento de medidas preventivas y a la mejora del comportamiento del rol masculino, que aparentemente, seguirán realizando actividades de riesgo a pesar de su edad.


Abstract: Introduction: as the population pyramid gets inverted, more active and longer lives are lived, geriatric patients with high energy trauma (HET) become more frequent; requiring more resources, getting worse results with more perioperative complications, coupled with a fragile state of health and osteopenia, make these fractures difficult to manage. With the hypothesis that the incidence of pelvic and acetabular fractures in the elderly due to HET is higher than that reported in the world literature, the research question was generated: What is the incidence of pelvic and acetabular fractures in the elderly due to HET, in a 5-year period? Material and methods: with the authorization of the Ethics Committee, an observational study of a retrospective cohort was carried out, using medical records, identifying the incidence of these fractures, surgically treated in our institution Clínica Las Vegas, Medellin, Colombia, a level III hospital, from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2021. Results: a cumulative incidence of 1.95 new cases per 100,000 person-years was calculated, a prevalence of 13.8%; resulting in a higher incidence and prevalence, confirming our hypothesis. Conclusion: treatment should be aimed at improving quality of life with stable fixation, identification and treatment of associated injuries, minimizing the risk of mechanical complications and prioritizing the reinforcement of preventive measures, also in the improvement of male role behavior, whom, as it seems, will keep carrying out risky activities despite their age.

RESUMO

Studies on the thiamine content of rice, vegetables, and other foods from animal sources in Bataan Province were made. Effects of washing on rice thiamine and of cooking on thiamine values of vegetables were investigated. The data obtained from these studies correlated with the dietary practices of rice-eaters in Bataan Province may explain why beriberi was prevalent in Bataan previous to the introduction of artificially enriched rice.
