ABSTRACT

Background and objectives: In low- and middle-income countries, the leading cause of neonatal mortality is perinatal asphyxia. Training in neonatal resuscitation has been shown to decrease this cause of mortality. The program "Helping Babies Breathe" (HBB) is a program to teach basic neonatal resuscitation focused on countries and areas with limited economic resources. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the implementation of the HBB program on newborn outcomes: mortality and morbidity. Material and Methods: A systematic review was carried out on observational studies and clinical trials that reported the effect of the implementation in low- and middle-income countries of the HBB program on neonatal mortality and morbidity. We carried out a meta-analysis of the extracted data. Random-effect models were used to evaluate heterogeneity, using the Cochrane Q and I2 tests, and stratified analyses were performed by age and type of outcome to determine the sources of heterogeneity. Results: Eleven studies were identified. The implementation of the program includes educational strategies focused on the training of doctors, nurses, midwives, and students of health professions. The poled results showed a decrease in overall mortality (OR 0.67; 95% CI 0.57, 0.80), intrapartum stillbirth mortality (OR 0.62; 95% CI 0.51, 0.75), and first-day mortality (OR 0.70; 95% IC 0.64, 0.77). High heterogeneity was found, which was partly explained by differences in the gestational age of the participants. Conclusions: The implementation of the program HBB in low- and medium-income countries has a significant impact on reducing early neonatal mortality.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Heart failure is a chronic, progressive, prevalent disease, with a high impact on health systems and on the quality of life of patients and families. Dyspnea is a common symptom and management with opioids has been proposed. Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the literature pertaining to the use of opioids for the management of dyspnea in patients with stable chronic heart failure, functional class New York Heart Association (NYHA) II, III, or IV. Materials and methods: A systematic review was conducted in the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, OVID, LILACS, and PROSPERO databases of articles published in 5 languages between January 1, 1995 and July 31, 2018. Studies describing the administration of any type of opioid for the management of dyspnea in patients with stable chronic heart failure NYHA II, III, or IV were included. Results: Four clinical trials were obtained for the final analysis with a total number of 70 patients, describing opioid administration for the management of dyspnea in patients with stable chronic heart failure, NYHA II, III, or IV. Conclusion: In adult patients with compensated chronic heart failure under optimum treatment, there is low-quality evidence that shows benefit with the use of opioids for the management of dyspnea. For a stronger recommendation, controlled, randomized studies with a larger number of subjects are required.


Resumen Introducción: La insuficiencia cardiaca es una enfermedad crónica, progresiva, prevalente, con un alto impacto en los sistemas de salud y en la calidad de vida de los pacientes y sus familias, la disnea es un síntoma común y se ha planteado el uso de opioides para su control. Objetivo: Revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre el uso de opioides en el manejo de la disnea en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca crónica estable con clase funcional NYHA II, III o IV. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de los artículos encontrados en las bases de datos MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, OVID, LILACS, PROSPERO a partir del 1 de enero del 1995 hasta el 31 de julio del 2018, publicados en cinco idiomas. Se incluyeron aquellos estudios en los cuales se describe la administración de cualquier tipo de opioide para el manejo de la disnea en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca crónica estable, NYHA II, III o IV. Resultados: Se incluyeron cuatro ensayos clínicos para el análisis final, con un numero total de 70 pacientes, en los cuales se describe la administración de opioides para el manejo de la disnea en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca crónica estable, NYHA II, III, o IV. Conclusiones: En pacientes adultos con insuficiencia cardiaca crónica compensada en tratamiento óptimo, existe evidencia de baja calidad que muestra beneficio para el manejo de la disnea con opioides, deben realizarse estudios aleatorizados controlados con una cantidad de individuos mayor para poder generar una recomendación más fuerte.
