ABSTRACT

RESULTS Of the 1619 included patients,1029 (63.6%) weremale,1327(82.0%) had coronary artery disease (843[52.1%] with prioracutemyo cardial infarction),355(21.9%)had priorischemicstroke ortransientischemicattack,and197 (12.2%) had peripheral vascular disease,andthemean( SD) age was 65.6 (10.5) years. Among randomized clusters, 30 (75%) were cardiology sites, 6 (15%) were primary careunits,and 26 (65%) were teaching institutions.Amonge ligible patients,thosein intervention clusters were more like ly to receive aprescription of evidence-based therapies thant hose in control clusters (73.5%[515of701] vs58.7% [493of840];oddsratio,2.30;95%CI,1.14-4.65). There were no differences between the intervention and control group swithregard storisk factor control(ie,hyperlipidemia,hypertension,ordiabetes).Ratesofeducationforsmokingcessationwere higher among current smokers in the intervention group thanin the control group (51.9%[364of701] vs18.2%[153of840];oddsratio,11.24;95%CI,2.20-57.43).Therateofcardiovascularmortality,acute myocardial infarction,andstrokewas2.6%for patients from intervention cluster sand 3.4%forthose in the control group (hazardratio, 0.76;95%CI,0.43-1.34).

ABSTRACT

South America comprises widely different environments consisting of many complex and heterogeneous ethnicities, societies and cultures. During recent decades conspicuous advances in human and societal development have been made. South America now faces three major demographic shifts: population growth; urbanisation (almost 90% of the population live in urban areas) and ageing. Recently, an epidemiological transition has been seen. Urbanisation has brought unfavourable and prominent changes, such as increased smoking rates, stress, lack of physical activity and poor diets (more fat and calories). Consequently, owing to the interaction between environment and genetic susceptibility, the modifications induced by urbanisation have resulted in enhancement of the cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This situation is responsible for the burden of CVD in South America, requiring effective action towards better detection and control of cardiovascular risk factors aimed at reducing the burden of disease in the region, which tends to be higher and increasingly serious.

ABSTRACT

O estudo PURE representa um dos maiores estudos de corte, envolvendo 150.000 indivíduos de áreas urbanas e rurais de 15 países. A má adaptação à urbanização, representada por variações no estilo de vida, fatores psicossociais e renda são determinantes independentes de fatores de risco cardiovascular

ABSTRACT

The objective of the present study was to assess the incidence, risk factors and outcome of patients who develop acute renal failure (ARF) in intensive care units. In this prospective observational study, 221 patients with a 48-h minimum stay, 18-year-old minimum age and absence of overt acute or chronic renal failure were included. Exclusion criteria were organ donors and renal transplantation patients. ARF was defined as a creatinine level above 1.5 mg/dL. Statistics were performed using Pearsons' chi2 test, Student t-test, and Wilcoxon test. Multivariate analysis was run using all variables with P < 0.1 in the univariate analysis. ARF developed in 19.0 percent of the patients, with 76.19 percent resulting in death. Main risk factors (univariate analysis) were: higher intra-operative hydration and bleeding, higher death risk by APACHE II score, logist organ dysfunction system on the first day, mechanical ventilation, shock due to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)/sepsis, noradrenaline use, and plasma creatinine and urea levels on admission. Heart rate on admission (OR = 1.023 (1.002-1.044)), male gender (OR = 4.275 (1.340-13642)), shock due to SIRS/sepsis (OR = 8.590 (2.710-27.229)), higher intra-operative hydration (OR = 1.002 (1.000-1004)), and plasma urea on admission (OR = 1.012 (0.980-1044)) remained significant (multivariate analysis). The mortality risk factors (univariate analysis) were shock due to SIRS/sepsis, mechanical ventilation, blood stream infection, potassium and bicarbonate levels. Only potassium levels remained significant (P = 0.037). In conclusion, ARF has a high incidence, morbidity and mortality when it occurs in intensive care unit. There is a very close association with hemodynamic status and multiple organ dysfunction.
