Influence of alcohol and tobacco consumption on maternal and perinatal outcomes of puerperal women attended at the Brazilian National Health System / Influência do consumo de álcool e tabaco em desfechos maternos e perinatais de puérperas atendidas no Sistema Único de Saúde

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the association between alcohol and tobacco consumption during pregnancy with maternal and child health conditions. Methods: cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample of pregnant women living in Santa Catarina who conducted prenatal care and childbirth in the public national health service in 2019. A face-to-face survey questionnaire was applied to 3,580 pregnant women including maternal health issues during pregnancy and perinatal health of the newborn. Crude logistic regression analyzes were performed and adjusted for socio-demographic and maternal health conditions. Results: the prevalence of alcohol and tobacco consumption during pregnancy was 7.2% and 9.3%, respectively. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy increased the chance of maternal anemia by 45% (CI95%=1.09-1.91), increased the chance of gestational diabetes by 73% (CI95%=1.14-2.63) and reduced the chance of hypertension (OR=0.59; CI95%=0.37-0.94). Tobacco consumption doubled the chance of low birth weight (OR=2.16; CI95%=1.33-3.51). Conclusion: the consumption of alcoholic beverages during pregnancy increased the chance of maternal health complications, such as anemia and gestational diabetes, while tobacco increased the chance of low birth weight.

Resumo Objetivos: avaliar a associação entre o consumo de álcool e de tabaco durante a gravidez com condições de saúde maternas e da criança. Métodos: estudo transversal com amostra probabilística de gestantes residentes em Santa Catarina que realizaram o pré-natal e o parto na rede pública do estado em 2019. Foi aplicado questionário face-a-face com 3.580 gestantes incluindo questões de saúde maternas durante a gestação e saúde perinatal do recém-nascido. Foram realizadas análises de regressão logística brutas e ajustadas para condições sócio-demográficas e de saúde maternas. Resultados: as prevalências de consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e de tabaco durante a gestação foram de 7,2% e 9,3%, respectivamente. O consumo de álcool durante a gestação aumentou em 45% a chance de anemia materna (IC95%=1,09-1,91) e em 73% a de diabetes gestacional (IC95%=1,14-2,63) e reduziu a chance de hipertensão (OR=0,59; IC95%=0,37-0,94). O consumo de tabaco dobrou a chance de baixo peso gestacional ao nascer (OR=2,16; IC95%=1,33-3,51). Conclusão: o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas durante a gestação aumentou a chance de intercorrências de saúde maternas, como anemia e diabetes gestacional, enquanto o tabaco aumentou a chance de baixo peso ao nascer.

Pancreatitis crónica: análisis de factores de progresión de la enfermedad / Chronic pancreatitis: analysis of disease progression factors

BACKGROUND: Alcohol and tobacco are important risk factors for chronic pancreatitis (CP). AIM: To analyze the effect of etiological factors such as tobacco and alcohol and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) in the progression of CP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients with a diagnosis of CP were recruited and grouped according to variables such as tobacco, alcohol and PERT. They were followed for 18 months. Subsequently, different variables and analytical parameters involved in the progression of the disease were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 50 patients diagnosed with CP were included. Of these, 28 patients underwent PERT, 39 were smokers and 33 were alcohol users. Compared with patients without PERT, those with PERT had a higher proportion of diabetes (64 and 32%, respectively), had a higher need for endoscopic treatment (25 and 0%, respectively) and a normal body mass index (71 and 27.3%, respectively. The smokers had higher calcium levels and increased lymphocytosis and leukocytosis. The alcohol consumption group had a higher mean age (p = 0.04) CONCLUSIONS: PERT may improve the nutritional status but does not reduce the need for endoscopic or surgical treatment. Smoking and alcohol consumption favored the progression of CP. Also, smoking induced a pro-inflammatory state.

Cáncer de cavidad oral en pacientes del departamento de cirugía de cabeza y cuello - cátedra y servicio de otorrinolaringología del Hospital de Clínicas - Universidad Nacional de Asunción / Oral cavity cancer in patients from the department of head and neck surgery - chair and otorhinolaryngology service of the Hospital de Clínicas - National University of Asunción

La cavidad oral está continuamente expuesta a carcinógenos inhalados e ingeridos (tabaco y alcohol principalmente), y por lo tanto es el sitio más común para el origen de neoplasias en la región de la cabeza y el cuello.Para esta investigación, se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo, de corte transversal, retrospectivo, de muestreo no probabilístico de casos consecutivos. Se incluyó a pacientes mayores de edad, con diagnóstico clínico y anatomopatológico de cáncer de cavidad oral.Así, se incluyó una serie de 17 casos de carcinoma escamocelular oral, 13 hombres (76 %) y 4 mujeres (24 %), donde la edad de los individuos osciló entre 32 y 73 años.El 65 % de los pacientes era fumador y el 71% refirió consumo de bebidas alcohólicas.La lengua fue la localización tumoral más frecuente, con el 71% de las personas que se encontraba en estadio IV, y con moderado grado de diferenciación histológica. Como conclusión, se determinó que la mayor parte de los pacientes de este estudio correspondían al sexo masculino de 50 a 70 años. Un alto porcentaje de los pacientes refería el hábito tabáquico, y mayor aún el consumo de alcohol. El subsitio más frecuentemente afectado es la lengua, en estadios avanzados y moderado grado de diferenciación.

INTRODUCTION: The oral cavity is continuously exposed to inhaled and ingested carcinogens (mainly tobacco and alcohol), and therefore it is the most common site for the origin of neoplasms in the head and neck region. METHODS: A descriptive, retrospective, observational study of non-probabilistic sampling of consecutive cases was carried out. Adult patients with a clinical and pathological diagnosis of oral cavity cancer were included. RESULTS: A series of 17 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma was included, 13 men (76%) and 4 women (24%). The age of the individuals ranged between 32 and 73 years.65% of the patients were smokers, and 71% reported consumption of alcoholic beverages.The tongue was the most frequent tumor location, 71% were in stage IV, and with a moderate degree of histological differentiation. CONCLUSION: Most of the patients in this study were males between 50 and 70 years of age. A high percentage of patients reported smoking, and an even higher percentage of alcohol consumption. The most frequently affected subsite is the tongue, in advanced stages and a moderate degree of differentiation.

El consumo semicrónico moderado de alcohol altera la foliculogénesis y la calidad núcleo-citoplasmática oocitaria, en el ratón / Moderate semi-chronic alcohol consumption alters folliculogenesis and oocyte nuclear-cytoplasmic quality in mice

Resumen El consumo crónico de alcohol es un problema de salud mundial que afecta particularmente a la población femenina. Sin embargo, los efectos de la ingesta semicrónica en cantidades moderadas a bajas en el ovario y el oocito son poco conocidos. En un modelo murino, se administró etanol al 10% en agua de bebida (hembras tratadas) o agua (hembras control) por 15 días, y luego de la superovulación o no (ovulación espontánea), se analizó el ciclo estral y la calidad ovárico-gamética. En las hembras tratadas, la frecuencia y duración del diestro aumentó, y las frecuencias de folículos y cuerpos lúteos disminuyeron vs hembras controles, valores que se restauraron luego de la superovulación. Sin embargo, en las hembras tratadas, la tasa de proliferación celular folicular y el desbalance de la expresión ovárica de VEGF (factor de crecimiento endotelial) persistieron luego de la superovulación. El número de ovocitos ovulados con metafase II anormal, fragmentados y activados partenogenéticamente fue mayor en las hembras tratadas respecto las controles. En conclusión, el consumo semicrónico moderado de alcohol produce anestro, ciclo estral irregular, foliculogénesis deficiente y anomalías núcleo-citoplasmáticas en los oocitos ovulados. Estas alteraciones podrían constituirse en un factor etiológico de pérdida gestacional temprana y desarrollo embrionario anormal luego del consumo de alcohol.

Abstract Chronic alcohol consumption is a global health problem that particularly affects the female population. However, the ef-fects of semi-chronic ethanol intake in low-moderate amounts on the ovary and oocyte are poorly understood. In a mouse model, 10% ethanol was administered in drinking water (treated females) or water (control females) for 15 days, and after superovulation or not (spontaneous ovulation), the estrous cycle and ovarian-gametic quality were analyzed. In treated females, the frequency and duration of the diestrus increased, and the frequencies of follicles and corpus luteum decreased vs control females, values that restored after superovulation. However, in treated females, the follicular cell proliferation rate and the imbalance in ovarian expression of VEGF (endothelial growth factor) persisted after superovulation. The number of ovulated oocytes with abnormal metaphase II, fragmented and parthenogenetically activated was higher in treated females than in control ones. In conclusion, moderate semi-chronic alcohol consumption produces anestrum, irregular estrous cycle, poor folliculogenesis, and nuclear-cytoplasmic abnormalities in ovulated oocytes. These alterations could constitute an etiological factor of early gestational loss and abnormal embryonic development after alcohol consumption.

Consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo y la lactancia: rol de profesionales de salud / Alcohol use during pregnancy and breastfeeding: health professionals' role

Dada la prevalencia del consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo y la lactancia y la implicancia de esta práctica para la salud de los/as bebés, se indagó sobre la información que comparten profesionales de la salud a mujeres (embarazadas o en período de lactancia) sobre el consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo y la lactancia. Para ello, se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional transversal mediante una encuesta en línea. Completaron la encuesta completa 86 profesionales de la salud (Medad=43.22, DS=9.10) y 32 sólo las preguntas sobre consumo y lactancia (n total para encuesta de lactancia=118 profesionales; Medad=44.5, DS=8.77). Los resultados arrojaron que la mayoría de los/as profesionales destaca la importancia de abordar el consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo y la lactancia, pero hay quienes permiten el consumo de alcohol durante estos períodos, a pesar de considerarse de riesgo entre moderado y alto para el/la bebé. Se concluye, entonces, que hay una necesidad de mayor formación profesional en el tema (AU)

The high prevalence of alcohol consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding has been reported. The use of alcohol during pregnancy and breastfeeding is prejudicial for babies' health. This study inquired about the information that health professionals share with women about alcohol use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Therefore, a cross-sectional observational study was conducted using an online survey. 86 health professionals (Mage=43.22, SD=9.10) completed the full survey and 32 health professionals completed only the questions about breastfeeding and alcohol use (total sample for these questions=118, Mage=44.5, SD=8.77). The results showed that almost every professional highlights the importance of approaching alcohol use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some allow alcohol use during these periods despite the fact that a large group considered that alcohol use has moderate to high risk for the baby. The conclusions of the study are that results showed the need for more professional training on alcohol drinking risk during pregnancy and breastfeeding (AU)

Multicenter epidemiological study of maxillofacial trauma: a one-year retrospective- descriptive assessment of 1356 cases in a colombian metropolitan region / Estudio epidemiológico multicéntrico de trauma maxilofacial: evaluación retrospectiva-descriptiva de un año, de 1356 casos en una región metropolitana de Colombia

Background: This retrospective study was conducted to identify the epidemiological profile and treatment modalities linked to the maxillofacial trauma (MFT) managed in the Maxillofacial Surgery Departments of seven hospital centers in Antioquia, Colombia. Material and Methods: Clinical records with specific attention to sociodemographic characteristics, mechanisms of injury, type of MFT, location of injuries, and treatment modalities of MFT were collected from January to December 2017. Descriptive analyses using Pearson's chi-square tests were performed. Results: A total of 1356 records were retrieved. Males were significantly more affected, with a male-to-female ratio of 3.85:1. The most susceptible age group involved was young adults (18 to 40 years). A low percentage of alcohol (9.3%) and drugs consumption (2.5%) was recorded. Most common causes of MFT were road traffic accidents (RTA), falls, and interpersonal violence (IPV). Most injuries involved both soft and hard tissues followed by hard tissues and isolated open soft tissue injuries. Among fractures, the middle third was the most commonly affected site and the utmost method of treatment was open reduction and internal fixation. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the evidence available, this study has demonstrated that the gender, age stratum, and etiological factors, such as RTA, falls, and IPV, but no alcohol and/or psychoactive substances consumption, may have a significant influence on the prevalence, patterns, and treatment modalities of MFT in this sample population.

Antecedentes: Este estudio retrospectivo se realizó para identificar el perfil epidemiológico y las modalidades de tratamiento vinculados al Trauma Maxilofacial (TMF) atendido en los Servicios de Cirugía Maxilofacial de siete centros hospitalarios de Antioquia, Colombia. Material y Métodos: Se recopilaron historias clínicas con atención específica a las características sociodemográficas, mecanismos de lesión, tipo de TMF, ubicación de las lesiones y modalidades de tratamiento de TMF de enero a diciembre de 2017. Análisis descriptivos utilizando el chi-cuadrado de Pearson fueron realizados. Resultados: Se recuperaron un total de 1356 registros. Los hombres se vieron significativamente más afectados, con una relación hombre-mujer de 3,85:1. El grupo de edad más susceptible involucrado fue el de los adultos jóvenes (18 a 40 años). Se registró un bajo porcentaje de consumo de alcohol (9,3%) y drogas (2,5%). Las causas más comunes de TMF fueron los accidentes de tránsito (ADT), las caídas y la violencia interpersonal (VIP). La mayoría de las lesiones involucraron tejidos blandos y duros, seguidas de tejidos duros y lesiones abiertas aisladas de tejidos blandos. Entre las fracturas, el tercio medio fue el sitio afectado con mayor frecuencia y el método de tratamiento más utilizado fue la reducción abierta y la fijación interna. Conclusion: Dentro de las limitaciones de la evidencia disponible, este estudio ha demostrado que el género, el estrato etario y los factores etiológicos, como ADT, caídas y VIP , pero no el consumo de alcohol y/o sustancias psicoactivas, pueden tener una influencia significativa en la la prevalencia, los patrones y las modalidades de tratamiento de TMF en esta poblaión muestral.

Relación entre el consumo de alcohol y el riesgo de diabetes tipo 2 en los trabajadores / Relationship Between Alcohol Consumption and Risk Of Diabetes Type 2 in Workers

Introducción. El consumo de alcohol daña la mayoría de los órganos y sistemas de nuestro organismo, con un efecto nocivo sobre la diabetes tipo 2. En nuestro país, el consumo de alcohol es tolerado y socialmente bien considerado, lo que provoca que una parte importante de la población tenga una ingesta excesiva de alcohol. Por tanto, quisimos evaluar el efecto de la ingesta excesiva de alcohol en la población trabajadora y su efecto sobre el riesgo de desarrollar diabetes tipo 2. Métodos. Estudio descriptivo y transversal en 55.147 trabajadores españoles en el que se evaluó el efecto del consumo excesivo de alcohol sobre el riesgo de desarrollar diabetes tipo 2. El riesgo de diabetes se evaluó con las escalas Findrisk y QDScore. El consumo de alcohol se evalúa con la unidad de bebida estándar, equivalente a 10 g de alcohol. Se considera consumo excesivo cuando se superan semanalmente 35 unidades de bebida estándar en hombres y 20 en mujeres. Resultados. El consumo excesivo de alcohol en comparación con no beber, beber poco o moderadamente aumenta el riesgo de diabetes tipo 2 en ambas escalas de riesgo. La razón de probabilidades es 12,22 (IC 95 11,51-12,99) para la escala Findrisk y 13,36 (IC 95% 12,04-14,69) para el riesgo relativo con QDScore. Conclusión. El consumo excesivo de alcohol aumenta el riesgo de diabetes tipo 2 con las escalas Findrisk y QDScore en la población laboral española

Introduction. Alcohol consumption damages most of the organs and systems of our organism, with a harmful effect on type 2 diabetes. In our country, alcohol consumption is tolerated and socially well regarded, which causes an important part of the population to have an excessive alcohol intake. Therefore, we want to evaluate the effect of excessive alcohol intake in the working population and its effect on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Methods. Descriptive and cross-sectional study in 55,147 Spanish workers in which the effect of excessive alcohol consumption on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes was assessed. Diabetes risk was assessed with the Findrisk and QDScore scales. Alcohol consumption is assessed with the standard drinking unit, equivalent to 10g of alcohol. Excessive consumption is considered when 35 standard drinking unit in men and 20 in women are exceeded weekly. Results. Heavy drinking compared to no, low or moderate drinking increases the risk of type 2 diabetes on both risk scales. The Odds ratio is 12.22 (CI 95 11.51-12.99) for the Findrisk scale and 13.36 (CI 95% 12.04-14.69) for the relative risk with QDScore. Conclusion. Excessive alcohol consumption increases the risk of type 2 diabetes with the Findrisk and QDScore scales in the Spanish working population

Association between tobacco and/or alcohol consumption during pregnancy and infant development: BRISA Cohort

Fetuses exposed to alcohol and/or tobacco are at risk for perinatal adversities. However, little is currently known about the association of the separate or concomitant use of alcohol and tobacco with infant motor and cognitive development. Thus, the objective of the present study was to investigate the association between maternal consumption of alcohol and/or tobacco during pregnancy and the motor and cognitive development of children starting from the second year of life. The study included 1006 children of a cohort started during the prenatal period (22-25 weeks of pregnancy), evaluated at birth and reevaluated during the second year of life in 2011/2013. The children were divided into four groups according to the alcohol and/or tobacco consumption reported by their mothers at childbirth: no consumption (NC), separate alcohol consumption (AC), separate tobacco consumption (TC), and concomitant use of both (ACTC). The Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development Third Edition screening tool was used for the assessment of motor and cognitive development. Adjusted Poisson regression models were used to determine the association between groups and delayed development. The results indicated that only the ACTC group showed a higher risk of motor delay, specifically regarding fine motor skills, compared to the NC group (RR=2.81; 95%CI: 1.65; 4.77). Separate alcohol or tobacco consumption was not associated with delayed gross motor or cognitive development. However, the concomitant use of the two substances increased the risk of delayed acquisition of fine motor skills.

Simultaneidade de fatores de risco para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em população rural de um município no sul do Brasil / Simultaneity of risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases in a rural population of a Southern Brazilian city

RESUMO: Objetivos: Descrever a ocorrência simultânea de fatores de risco para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e os fatores associados à simultaneidade dessas prevalências em adultos residentes na zona rural de um município no sul do Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo transversal com 1.445 adultos da zona rural de Pelotas, RS. Foram considerados quatro fatores de risco: tabagismo, consumo de álcool, inatividade física e consumo inadequado de legumes/verduras. Para verificar a ocorrência simultânea, utilizou-se análise de clusters. A associação foi avaliada por regressão ordinal, obtendo-se estimativas em razões de odds. Resultados: Dos quatro fatores de risco avaliados, três foram mais prevalentes entre os homens, sendo apenas inatividade física maior entre as mulheres. Na análise de clusters, consumo de álcool + tabagismo + consumo inadequado de vegetais foi a única combinação que apresentou prevalência observada significativamente maior que a esperada (O/E = 2,67; IC95% 1,30; 5,48), sendo superior a encontrada em outro estudo no sul do país, dado que pode ser justificado pois tal estudo incluiu o consumo de frutas além de ter avaliado população urbana, enquanto para este estudo avaliou-se apenas a população rural. Após ajuste, os homens, indivíduos solteiros, de cor da pele preta, parda ou outra, com baixa escolaridade, pior condição socioeconômica, pior percepção de saúde e que não desenvolviam atividades rurais apresentaram maior odds ratio de acúmulo de fatores de risco. Conclusão: Os achados evidenciam a importância do desenvolvimento de ações prioritárias em relação à saúde da população rural com atenção específica aos subgrupos de maior risco identificados.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To describe the occurrence of simultaneous risk factors for chronic noncommunicable diseases, and factors associated with these prevalences in rural adults of a Southern Brazilian city. Methods: The design of this study was cross-sectional with a sample of 1,445 adults from the rural area of Pelotas, RS. Four risk factors were considered: smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and inadequate consumption of vegetables. To verify the simultaneous occurrence of the outcomes, a cluster analysis was used. The association was tested by ordinal regression resulting in odds ratios. Results: Among the four risk factors evaluated, three were the most prevalent among men, and only physical inactivity was greater among women. In the cluster analysis, only the combination of alcohol consumption + smoking + inadequate vegetable consumption presented an observed prevalence that was significantly higher than the expected (O/E = 2.67, 95%CI 1.30, 5.48), and higher than another study in the south of the country. This can be justified because that study included an evaluation of urban dwellers and the consumption of fruits. After adjustment, men, single individuals, non-white people, those with less schooling, those with a worse socioeconomic status, those who reported poor perception of health, and those who do not work in specifically rural activities had a greater probability of having the simultaneity of risk factors. Conclusion: The results show the importance of developing priority actions regarding the health of rural populations with special attention to the subgroups with an identified higher risk.

Tobacco and Alcohol Use and Clinical Staging of Head and Neck Tumors

Abstract Objective: To determine the relationship between tobacco and alcohol consumption and staging of head and neck cancer in patients treated at a referral hospital for cancer treatment. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study based on medical records of patients with head and neck cancer treated between 2008 and 2015. The following variables were considered: gender, age, marital status, educational level, place of residence, profession, affected site, clinical staging of neoplasms, histopathological diagnosis, tobacco and alcohol consumption. Results: Of the 154 medical records analyzed, there was a predominance of male patients (72.7%), single (50%), with low education (88.1%), rural workers (38.3%), residents in the state countryside (70.2%) and aged 20-94 years. T3 and T4 size tumors prevailed. A significant correlation was found between alcohol use and tumor size (p=0.03) and presence of nodules (p<0.001), as well as between alcohol use and smoking with tumor size (p=0.04) and presence of nodules (p=0.019). No correlations were observed between tobacco use and injury staging. Conclusion: There was strong significance between tumor size and presence of nodules, both with the use of alcohol alone and with tobacco, thus suggesting the existence of important carcinogenic action of this substance.

Histórico de Consumo de Álcool como Fator Preditivo de Sobrevida em Pacientes com Carcinoma de Células Escamosas de Boca e Orofaringe: Follow-up de 15 Anos / Alcohol Consumption History as a Predictive Factor of Survival in Patients with Mouth and Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Follow-up of 15 Years / Historia del Consumo de Alcohol como Factor Predictivo para la Supervivencia en Pacientes con Carcinoma de Células Escamosas Bucales y Orofaríngeas: Seguimiento de 15 Años

Introdução: O carcinoma de células escamosas é o tumor de maior importância na região de cabeça e pescoço, em razão da sua incidência e mortalidade. Sabe-se que fatores como consumo de álcool estão relacionados à diminuição da sobrevida de tumores tanto estimulando a progressão tumoral como causando comorbidades importantes, sendo um fator relevante para estudo. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência do histórico de álcool em características clinicoprognósticas de pacientes com carcinoma de células escamosas de boca e orofaringe (CCEBO). Método: Estudo de coorte, retrospectivo, no qual 156 prontuários de pacientes etilistas e 78 prontuários de pacientes não etilistas com CCEBO diagnosticados no Hospital Haroldo Juaçaba, em Fortaleza, Ceará, foram avaliados, entre 2000 e 2014, para análise de dados como idade, sexo, raça, localização do tumor, estadiamento TNM, tratamentos realizados e sobrevida em 15 anos por meio dos testes X², Long-Rank e modelos de regressão multinomial e de Cox (SPSS 20,0; p<0,05). Resultados: Houve maior prevalência de homens entre os pacientes etilistas (p<0,001), com tumores T3-T4 (p=0,003), linfonodos positivos (p=0,006) que realizaram tratamentos paliativos (p<0,001) e menor prevalência abaixo de 65 anos (p<0,001), quando havia histórico familiar de câncer (p=0,043). A sobrevida dos pacientes etilistas foi menor (p=0,040) e os fatores que diminuíram a sobrevida de maneira independente foram sexo masculino (p=0,042), estadiamento T3-T4 (p=0,004), metástase linfonodal (p=0,012), idade >65 anos (p=0,035) e localização na língua (p=0,042). O sexo masculino foi independentemente associado ao etilismo (p<0,001). Conclusão: O álcool é um fator de prognóstico em pacientes com CCEBO, mostrando maior prevalência em pacientes T3-T4 e, assim, influenciando negativamente no prognóstico.

Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma is the most important tumor in the head and neck region, due to its incidence and mortality. It is known that factors as alcohol consumption are related to the decrease of the survival of tumors, either stimulating tumor progression or causing considerable comorbidities, being an important study factor. Objective: Evaluate the influence of alcohol history on clinical and prognostic characteristics of patients with mouth oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma (MOSCC). Method: A retrospective cohort study in which 156 charts of alcoholic patients and 78 medical charts of non-alcoholic patients with MOSCC diagnosed at Haroldo Juaçaba Hospital in Fortaleza, state of Ceará were evaluated between 2000 and 2014 for data analysis such as age, gender and race, tumor location, TNM staging, treatments performed and 15-year survival through X², Long-Rank and Cox and multinomial regression models (SPSS 20.0; p <0.05). Results: Men were more prevalent among alcoholic patients (p <0.001), with T3/4 tumors (p = 0.003), positive lymph nodes (p = 0.006) who submitted to palliative treatments (p<0.001) and lower prevalence under 65 years (p <0.001), when there was a family history of cancer (p = 0.043). The survival of alcoholic patients was lower (p = 0.040) and the factors that independently reduced survival were male sex (p = 0.042), T3-T4 staging (p = 0.004), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.012), age> 65 years (p = 0.035) and tumor in the tongue (p = 0.042). Male sex was independently associated with alcohol consumption (p<0.001). Conclusion: Alcohol is a prognostic factor in patients with MOSCC, showing a higher prevalence in T3-T4 patients and, thus, negatively influencing the prognosis.

Introducción: El carcinoma de células escamosas es el tumor de mayor importancia en la región de cabeza y cuello, debido a su incidencia y mortalidad. Se sabe que factores como el consumo de alcohol están relacionado con la disminución de la supervivencia de tumores tanto estimulando la progresión tumoral, como provocando comorbilidades considerables, siendo un factor de estudio importante. Objetivo: Evaluar la influencia del historial del consumo de alcohol en las características clínicas-pronósticas de pacientes con carcinoma de células escamosas oral y orofaringe (CCEOO). Método: Estudio retrospectivo en el que se evaluaron 156 registros médicos de pacientes consumidores de alcohol y 78 de pacientes no alcohólicos con CCEOO diagnosticados en el Hospital Haroldo Juaçaba, en Fortaleza, Ceará, entre 2000 y 2014, para el análisis de datos como edad, sexo raza, escolaridad, los antecedentes familiares, vínculo matrimonial, registro en el servicio, ubicación del tumor, clasificación de TNM, los tratamientos realizados y la supervivencia durante 15 años a través de las pruebas X² Long-Rank y modelos de regresión multinomial y de Cox (SPSS 20.0; p<0,05). Resultados: Hubo una mayor prevalencia de hombres entre pacientes alcohólicos (p<0,001), con tumores T3-T4 (p=0,003), ganglios linfáticos positivos (p=0,006), y realizó tratamientos paliativos (p<0,001) y menor prevalencia en paciente menores de 65 años (p <0,001); cuando se presentaron antecedentes familiares de cáncer (p=0,043). La supervivencia de los pacientes alcohólicos fue menor (p=0,040); y los factores que disminuyeron la supervivencia de forma independiente fueron hombres (p=0,042); estadificación t3-t4 (p=0,004); metástasis a ganglios linfáticos (p=0,012); edad > 65 años (p=0,035); localización de la lengua (p=0,042). El sexo masculino se asoció independientemente con el consumo de alcohol (p<0,001). Conclusión: El alcohol define el pronóstico en pacientes con CCEOO, muestra una mayor prevalencia en pacientes con T3-T4, por lo tanto, influye negativamente en el pronóstico.
