ABSTRACT
(1) Background: The rate of cesarean sections in late fetal mortality remains high. We aimed to determine the prevalence of late fetal mortality in Spain and risk factors for cesarean birth in women with stillbirth ≥ 28 weeks gestation between 2016-2019. (2) Methods: A retrospective observational study with national data between 2016-2019. A total of 3504 births with fetal dead were included. Sociodemographic, obstetrical and neonatal variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression (MLR), with cesarean birth with a stillborn ≥ 28 weeks gestation as the dependent variable. (3) Results: The late fetal mortality rate was 2.8 × 1000; 22.7% of births were by cesarean section. Factors associated with cesarean were having a multiple birth (aOR 6.78); stillbirth weight (aOR 2.41); birth taking place in towns with over 50,000 inhabitants (aOR 1.34); and mother's age ≥ 35 (aOR 1.23). (4) Conclusions: The late fetal mortality rate increased during the period. The performance of cesarean sections was associated with the mother's age, obstetric factors and place of birth. Our findings encourage reflection on how to best put into practice national clinical and socio-educational prevention strategies, as well as the approved protocols on how childbirth should be correctly conducted.

(1) Background: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) has a high prevalence globally, and perinatal factors favor FSD, especially in the postpartum period. The aim was to determine the prevalence and factors influencing FSD in the postpartum period; (2) Methods: An observational study carried out in three primary care centers in southern Spain, with women in the postpartum period who had a single low-risk birth. One hundred and seventeen women answered the Female Sexual Function questionnaire during the 4th month postpartum, between January 2020 and December 2021. Sociodemographic, obstetric, neonatal variables and level of self-esteem were analyzed. A multiple logistic regression model was carried out; (3) Results: 78.4% had high level of self-esteem. FSD prevalence was 89.7%. Factors related to FSD were having an instrumental vaginal delivery, women with university studies, and prenatal preparation. Maternal age ≥ 35, multiparity, pathological processes in the child, a medium-low level of self-esteem and newborn weight were associated with disorders in some of domains of sexual function; (4) Conclusions: FSD is highly prevalent in the postpartum period and is associated with preventable factors. A preventive approach by health professionals to these factors is essential. Health services should implement postpartum follow-up programs, which may coincide in time and place with newborn follow-up programs.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Birth plans are used for pregnant women to express their wishes and expectations about childbirth. The aim of this study was to compare obstetric and neonatal outcomes between women with and without birth plans. METHODS: A multicentre, retrospective case-control study at tertiary hospitals in southern Spain between 2009 and 2013 was conducted. A total of 457 pregnant women were included, 178 with and 279 without birth plans. Women with low-risk gestation, at full-term and having been in labour were included. Sociodemographic, obstetric and neonatal variables were analysed and comparisons were established. RESULTS: Women with birth plans were older, more educated and more commonly primiparous. Caesarean sections were less common in primiparous women with birth plans (18% vs. 29%, p = 0.027); however, no significant differences were found in instrumented births, 3rd-4th-degree tears or episiotomy rates. Newborns of primiparous women with birth plans obtained better results on 1 min Apgar scores, umbilical cord pH and advanced neonatal resuscitation. No significant differences were found on 5 min Apgar scores or other variables for multiparous women. CONCLUSIONS: Birth plans were related to less intervention, a more natural process of birth and better outcomes for mothers and newborns. Birth plans can improve the welfare of the mother and newborn, leading to birth in a more natural way.

OBJETIVO: Determinar los patrones de susceptibilidad antimicrobiana de bacterias Gram negativas aisladas de cultivos de orina de pacientes ambulatorios, y asociarlos con variables como edad, sexo, infección urinaria previa y presencia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio descriptivo observacional y trasversal, con cepas aisladas de 278 pacientes con infección urinaria baja, que acudieron a consulta externa a la CMF Dr. Ignacio Chávez del Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado, del sur de la Ciudad de México, entre los meses de marzo de 2018 a febrero de 2019. Se utilizó el sistema Phoenix 100 de Becton Dickinson, tanto para identificación de cepas, como para determinación de susceptibilidad antimicrobiana. Se probaron 16 antimicrobianos. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva para determinar proporción de resistencias. Programa estadístico SPSS versión 22. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 278 cepas: 231 Escherichia coli, 24 Klebsiella spp; 8 Enterobacter spp, 7 Proteus spp, 7 Citrobacter spp, 1 Serratia spp. La mayor resistencia fue para: ampicilina con 74,1 %, y la mayor sensibilidad para amikacina con 100 %. Del total de cepas, 140 (50,4 %) fueron Multi-Drogo-Resistentes, no hubo cepas Pan-Drogo-Resistentes. Al asociar las variables de estudio con la resistencia a cada antimicrobiano, sólo se obtuvo significancia estadística entre las cefalosporinas cefaxolina y cefoxitin, y el imipenem con el sexo de los pacientes, con mayor porcentaje en los hombres. CONCLUSIONES: Se obtuvo una alta resistencia en prácticamente todos los grupos de antimicrobianos, lo que hace necesario estar al tanto de los patrones de susceptibilidad en cada zona o país
OBJECTIVES: To determine patterns of antimicrobial susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria isolated from urine cultures of outpatients, and to associate them with variables such as age, sex, previous urinary infection, and presence of type-2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study, with strains isolated from 278 patients with low urinary infection, who had outpatient consultation in CMF Dr. Ignacio Chávez of the Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadoresdel Estado, in southern Ciudad de México, between March 2018 and February 2019. The Becton-Dickinson Phoenix 100 system was used both for identifying strains, and for determining antimicrobial susceptibility. 16 antimicrobial agents were tested. Descriptive statistics was used for determining resistance proportion. Statistical programme SPSS version 22. RESULTS: 278 strains were included: 231 Escherichia coli, 24 Klebsiella spp., 8 Enterobacter spp., 7 Proteus spp., 7 Citrobacter spp., 1 Serratia spp. The greatest resistance was for: ampicillin with 74.1% and the greatest sensitivity was for amikacin with 100%. Of all strains, 140 (50.4%) were multidrug resistant, and none was pandrug resistant. When the study variables were associated with resistance to each antimicrobial, there was statistical significance only between cephalosporins cefazolin and cefoxitin, as well as imipenem with patient sex, with higher percentage in men. CONCLUSIONS: High resistance was obtained in virtually all the groups of antimicrobials. This makes it necessary to be aware of susceptibility patterns in each area or country

Introducción: Al aumentar la esperanza de vida se incrementa también la presencia de enfermedades crónicas degenerativas, que se caracterizan por ser incurables, progresivas e invariablemente fatales. Para proteger la autonomía de los enfermos terminales surgió en la Ciudad de México la Ley de Voluntad Anticipada, para respetar la decisión del paciente en fase terminal. Objetivo: Identificar el nivel de conocimiento de la población geriátrica respecto a la Ley de Voluntad Anticipada. Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, realizado en una Clínica de Medicina Familiar de septiembre a diciembre de 2016. Se empleó muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se calculó el tamaño de muestra con base en criterio de diferencia absoluta. Se utilizó estadística inferencial para relacionar las variables de estudio con el nivel de conocimiento, pruebas de chi cuadrado, exacta de Fisher y/o Kruskal Wallis. Nivel de significancia 0,05. Paquete estadístico SPSS. Resultados: Se entrevistaron 66 pacientes en total, el promedio de edad fue 79,74 años, el 72,2 por ciento tenía nivel de escolaridad básico. El 21,2 por ciento de la población sabía la existencia de la Ley de Voluntad Anticipada. En el análisis estadístico solo se obtuvo relación con significancia estadística entre el nivel de conocimiento acerca de la Ley de Voluntad Anticipada y la escolaridad de los pacientes para la mayoría de las preguntas. Conclusión: La Ley de Voluntad Anticipada es un recurso legal poco conocido en la población geriátrica, se deben establecer campañas de difusión así como sensibilizar al personal de salud para abordarla en la consulta diaria(AU)
Introduction: Increasing life expectancy also increases the presence of chronic degenerative diseases, which are characterized by being incurable, progressive and invariably fatal. The Law of Advance Will arose in Mexico City to protect the autonomy and respect the decision of patients in terminal stages. Objective: To identify the level of knowledge of the geriatric population regarding to the Law of Living Will. Methods: Observational, descriptive study performed in a Family Medicine's Clinic from September to December, 2016. A non-probabilistic sampling was used by convenience. The sample size was calculated based on the absolute difference's criteria. Inferential statistics were used to relate the study variables to the level of knowledge, and the Chi Square, exact Fisher and/or Kruskal Wallis tests. The significance level was of 0.05. It was used the SPSS statistical package. Results: 66 patients were interviewed in total, the average age was 79.74 years, 72.2 percent of them had basic level of schooling. 21.2 percent of the population knew about the existence of the Law of Living Will. The statistical analysis only obtained a relationship with statistical significance between the level of knowledge about the Law of Living Will and the schooling of patients for most of the questions. Conclusion: Law of Living Will is a little-known legal resource in the geriatric population and outreach campaigns should be established as well as sensitizing health personnel to address it in the daily consultation(AU)

Resumen Introducción: el hipotiroidismo se ha asociado con deterioro cognitivo, así como con reducción en la calidad de vida; sin embargo, existe controversia al respecto porque la evidencia es contradictoria. El hipotiroidismo parece provocar alteraciones en el estado cognitivo y en el estado de ánimo en adultos mayores, por lo que se requieren estudios para establecer dicha asociación y de esta manera evaluar el tratamiento sustitutivo hormonal. Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de hipotiroidismo subclínico, deterioro cognitivo en el adulto mayor y su posible asociación en pacientes adultos mayores. Material y métodos: estudio transversal, descriptivo, y analítico, realizado en el módulo de gerontología en la Clínica Medicina Familiar "Dr. Ignacio Chávez", Ciudad De México, de junio a noviembre de 2016. Se realizó muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se aplicó el examen Mini mental para deterioro cognitivo. Se enviaron las muestras de sangre al laboratorio para la realización de pruebas de función tiroidea. El análisis estadístico se realizó con la prueba de chi cuadrado de independencia con nivel de significancia de 0,05. Se utilizó el programa estadístico Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, versión 22. Resultados: se estudiaron 120 adultos mayores con un promedio de edad de 78,2 años. El 35,8% de los pacientes presentaron hipotiroidismo subclínico, y el 63% presentó algún grado de deterioro cognitivo. Al asociar estas variables, no se obtuvo significancia estadística (p=0,556). Conclusiones: este estudio demuestra una alta prevalencia de hipotiroidismo subclínico y de deterioro cognitivo en la población de estudio, sin que se haya presentado asociación entre ambas variables.

Abstract Introduction: hypothyroidism has been related to cognitive impairment, as well as a reduction in life quality, however, controversy exists in this matter because evidence is contradictory. Hypothyroidism seems to cause changes in elderly's cognitive and emotional state. Studies are required to establish such relationship, and to evaluate substitute hormonal treatment. Objective: to determine the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism and cognitive impairment in older adults and its possible association in elderly patients. Material and Methods: cross-sectional, analytic, descriptive study, carried out in a Gerontology Module from Family Medicine Clinic "Dr. Ignacio Chávez" in Mexico City, from June to November 2016. Non probabilistic convenience sampling was done. Mini Mental Status Exam was applied for cognitive impairment. Blood Samples were sent to laboratory to make thyroid function tests. Statistical Analysis including independence Chi-Square with significance level 0,05. Statistical Package for the Social Science version 22 was used. Results: 120 older adults were studied, the average age was 78,2. 35.8% of the patients presented subclinical hypothyroidism, and 63% presented some degree of cognitive impairment. While relating this variables, no statistical significance was obtained (p=0,556). Conclusions: The present study demonstrated a high prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism and cognitive impairment in the study population. The relationship between the two variables was not demonstrated. MÉD.UIS. 2018;31(3):21-25.
