ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation in the anterior region requires specific conditions for success, such as the presence of papilla, emergence profile, and balance between pink and white esthetic. OBJECTIVES: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the esthetic risk associated with immediate implant placement with immediate restoration in the anterior superior area, where the facial bone plate may be absent or deficient. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The search was done in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Lilacs, Scopus, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The investigation involved clinical studies and observational studies published between January 2012 and July 2023. Studies were excluded if there was less than 12-month follow-up, no immediate restoration or facial defect, heavy smokers, or systemic disease. The risk of bias was assessed using the ROBINS-I and Modified-Cochrane RoB tools. RESULTS: Twelve studies were included in this systematic review. The thinner the facial plate, the higher the alveolus's risk of gingival recession or shrinkage. There was an increased interproximal recession when the thin phenotype was associated with flap surgery. An increase in pink esthetic score (PES) was reached when immediate implant placement (IIP) and immediate restoration were done. Soft tissue augmentation achieved more gingival-level stability. Regardless of the initial phenotype, an esthetic outcome was delivered. The risk of bias was high in 1 study and moderate in 3 studies. CONCLUSION: It is possible to conclude that esthetic results and increased final PES or patient satisfaction index in IIP treatments associated with immediate restoration could be obtained even in buccal bone wall defects or gingival recession, regardless of their extension.

ABSTRACT

No Brasil, estima-se a ocorrência de 704 mil casos novos de câncer para cada ano do triênio 2023-2025, sendo o câncer de cólon e reto (CCR) o tipo de neoplasia responsável pela terceira maior taxa de mortalidade para ambos os sexos. Objetivo: Analisar a tendência temporal de mortalidade prematura por CCR de 2006 a 2020, em ambos os sexos, no Brasil e em suas cinco Macrorregiões, e avaliar o alcance da meta proposta pelo Plano de Ações Estratégicas para o Enfrentamento das Doenças Crônicas não Transmissíveis no Brasil 2011-2022 do Ministério da Saúde (MS) em relação ao CCR. Método: Estudo de séries temporais das taxas de mortalidade prematura e padronizada de CCR (CID-10: C18-21) tendo como população de estudo a do Brasil, com dados obtidos a partir do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade do DATASUS de 2006 a 2020. Resultados: As taxas de mortalidade prematura por CCR apresentaram aumento linear ao longo do período observado, porém com importantes diferenças regionais. Em relação ao CCR, a meta proposta pelo plano do MS não foi alcançada. Conclusão: Houve um aumento das taxas de mortalidade prematura por CCR no Brasil, tendência esperada em países em desenvolvimento. Por ser um câncer que envolve fatores de risco modificáveis, são importantes ações contínuas voltadas para o manejo desses fatores, tais como políticas nacionais de promoção de saúde. Além disso, são necessários estudos que subsidiem políticas preventivas de programas de rastreamento e diagnóstico precoce.


In Brazil, 704 thousand new cases of cancer were estimated for each year of the triennium 2023-2025, and colon and rectal cancer (CRC) is the type of neoplasm responsible for the third highest mortality rate for both sexes in the country. Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of premature mortality by CRC from 2006 to 2020, for both sexes, in Brazil and its five macroregions, and to evaluate whether the goal proposed by the Strategic Action Plan for Tackling Chronic non Communicable Diseases in Brazil 2011-2022 of the Ministry of Health (MH) in relation to CCR has been met. Method: Time series study of standardized premature mortality rates by CRC (ICD-10: C18-21); the study population is Brazil's population obtained from DATASUS' Mortality Information System from 2006 to 2020. Results: Premature mortality rates by CRC in Brazil and in all five macroregions increased linearly over the period investigated, but with important regional differences. The target proposed by the MH's Plan for CRC was not met. Conclusion: There was an increase in premature mortality rates by CRC in Brazil, a trend expected for developing countries. As it is a type of cancer that involves modifiable risk factors, continuous actions to manage these factors are important, such as national health promotion policies. Furthermore, studies are needed to support preventive policies for screening and early diagnosis programs


En el Brasil, se estimó la aparición de 704 000 nuevos casos de cáncer para cada año del período 2023-2025, siendo el cáncer de colorrectal (CCR) el tipo de neoplasia responsable de la tercera mayor tasa de mortalidad para ambos sexos en el país. Objetivo: Analizar la tendencia en el tiempo de la mortalidad prematura por CCR en el período de 2006 a 2020, en ambos sexos, en el Brasil y sus 5 macrorregiones, y evaluar si fue alcanzada la meta propuesta por el Plan de Acción Estratégica para el Enfrentamiento de las Enfermedades Crónicas no Transmisibles en el Brasil 2011-2022 del Ministerio de Salud (MS) con relación a la CCR. Método: Estudio de series de tiempo de tasas de mortalidad prematura estandarizadas por CCR (CIE-10: C18-21) utilizando como población de estudio toda la población del Brasil, con datos obtenidos del Sistema de Información sobre Mortalidad del DATASUS de 2006 a 2020. Resultados: Las tasas de mortalidad prematura por CCR en el Brasil y en las cinco regiones mostraron un aumento lineal durante el período observado, pero con importantes diferencias regionales. Con relación al CCR, la meta propuesta por el Plan del MS no fue alcanzada. Conclusión: Hubo un aumento de las tasas de mortalidad prematura por CCR en el Brasil, tendencia esperada en países en desarrollo. Al tratarse de un tipo de cáncer que involucra factores de riesgo modificables, son importantes las acciones continuas encaminadas a gestionar estos factores, como las políticas nacionales de promoción de la salud del CCR. Además, se necesitan estudios que respalden las políticas preventivas para los programas de detección y diagnóstico temprano

ABSTRACT

Resumo O presente estudo compara tendências temporais de óbitos por violências contra crianças e adolescentes e analisa diferenças em ocorrências tipificadas ou não como crimes. Foram analisados dados do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade e da Secretaria de Segurança Pública do Estado do Maranhão, Brasil, de 2014-2020. Crianças e adolescentes foram definidos respectivamente como pessoas com 0-11 e 12-17 anos. Tipos de violências foram organizados segundo grupos, subgrupos e tipos penais do Código Penal Brasileiro. Foram contabilizados 1.326 óbitos e 8.187 ocorrências, mais frequentes na adolescência. Subtração de incapazes (p < 0,001), abandono de incapaz (p = 0,045) e estupro de vulnerável (p = 0,003) predominaram na infância. Homicídios (p < 0,001), crimes contra a liberdade individual (p = 0,004), crimes contra a liberdade sexual (p < 0,001) e violência psicológica (p = 0,034) foram mais frequentes na adolescência. Violência doméstica com lesão corporal predominou no sexo feminino (p < 0,001). Lesões corporais graves (p = 0,002), homicídios (p < 0,001) e constrangimento ilegal (p < 0,001) vitimizaram mais adolescentes do sexo masculino. Houve diferenças temporais em óbitos e ocorrências de violências contra crianças e adolescentes, assim como em características de violências tipificadas ou não como crimes.


Abstract This study compares temporal trends in violent deaths of children and adolescents and analyzes differences in incidents of violence classified and not classified as a crime. We analyzed data from the Mortality Information System and State of Maranhão Public Security Department for the period 2014 to 2020. Child and adolescent were defined as aged 0-11 and 12-17 years old, respectively. Types of violence were organized according to the groups, subgroups, and types of crimes set out in Brazil's penal code. A total of 1,326 deaths and 8,187 incidents of violence were reported, both of which were more frequent in adolescents. The most frequent types of violence in children and adolescentes, respectively, were: abduction of incapable persons (p < 0.001), abandonment of incapable persons (p = 0.045), rape of vulnerable persons (p = 0.003); homicides (p < 0.001), crimes against individual freedom (p = 0.004), crimes against sexual freedom (p < 0.001), psychological violence (p = 0.034). Domestic violence with bodily harm was more frequent in girls (p < 0.001), while severe bodily harm (p=0.002), homicide (p < 0.001), and harassment (p < 0.001) were more frequent in boys. The findings reveal differences over time in deaths and incidents of violence classified and not classified as crime among both children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: to analyze differences between violence against children and adolescents according to characteristics of cases, probable perpetrators, occurrences and typologies and compare their temporal and spatial distributions. Methods: data were collected from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), Maranhão, from 2009-2019. Results: 4,457 notifications of violence against children and 5,826 against adolescents were analyzed. In the 11 years investigated, violence against children was more frequent in 2015 and 2016 and in five of the 19 Maranhão Health Regions. Violence against males was more frequent in childhood and against females prevailed mostly in adolescence (p<0.001). While mothers (p<0.001), fathers (p=0.029) and caregivers (p<0.001) were most frequently accused of violence against children, friends/ acquaintances (p<0.001), spouses/boyfriends/girlfriends (p<0.001) and strangers (p<0.001) mainly assaulted adolescents. Violence motivated by sexism (p=0.006), generational conflict (p<0.001), street situation (p=0.002) and disability (p=0.035) were more frequent in adolescence. Physical (p<0.001), sexual (p<0.001) and psychological/moral (p<0.001) violence, torture (p<0.001) and self-aggression (p<0.001) were most commonly reported in adolescence and neglect/abandonment predominated was mostly reported against children (p<0.001). Conclusions: violence against children and adolescents residing in the state of Maranhão and notified in SINAN were distinct phenomena in relation to the characteristics of cases, probable authors, occurrences, and typologies.

ABSTRACT

Mayaro virus (MAYV, Togaviridae) and Oropouche orthobunyavirus (OROV, Peribunyaviridae) are emerging enzootic arboviruses in Latin America. Outbreaks of febrile illness associated with MAYV and OROV have been reported among humans mainly in the northern region of Brazil since the 1980s, and recent data suggest these viruses have circulated also in more populated areas of western Brazil. MAYV shares mosquito vectors with yellow fever virus and it has been historically detected during yellow fever epidemics. Aiming to investigate the transmission of OROV and MAYV at the human-animal interface during a yellow fever, chikungunya and Zika outbreaks in Brazil, we conducted a retrospective molecular investigation in 810 wild and domestic animals, 106 febrile patients, and 22.931 vectors collected from 2016 to 2018 in Cuiaba and Campo Grande metropolitan regions, western Brazil. All samples tested negative for OROV and MAYV RNA by RT-qPCR. Findings presented here suggest no active circulation of MAYV and OROV in the sampled hosts. Active surveillance and retrospective investigations are instrumental approaches for the detection of cryptic and subclinical activity of enzootic arboviruses and together serve as a warning system to implement appropriate actions to prevent outbreaks.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the time trend of monthly mortality rates from chronic respiratory diseases in Brazil from 1996 to 2017, with forecasts for 2022, besides analyzing the possibility of achieving the goal of the Plano de Ações Estratégicas para o Enfrentamento das Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis no Brasil (Strategic Action Plan to Tackle Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases in Brazil) from 2011 to 2022. METHODS: This is an ecological study that uses data from Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM - Mortality Information System), Sistema de Informações Demográficas e Socioeconômicas (Demographic and Socioeconomic Information System) and Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua (PNAD Contínua - Continuous National Household Sample Survey). We established the age range between 30 and 69 years old and the evolution of the rates over time was made by autoregressive integrated moving average models in R statistical tool. RESULTS: Premature mortality rates from chronic respiratory diseases are decreasing in Brazil as a whole, mostly in state capitals. There is also a trend to reach the Ministry of Health's goal in most of the country. For capitals that tend not to reach the goal, there is an association between mortality and social indicators, healthcare network and frequency of smoking. CONCLUSION: This study intends to improve planning of the public health system for the control of chronic respiratory diseases.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Analisar a tendência temporal das taxas mensais de mortalidade por doenças respiratórias crônicas no Brasil de 1996 até 2017, com projeções para 2022, além de analisar a possibilidade de cumprimento da meta do Plano de Ações Estratégicas para o Enfrentamento das Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis no Brasil de 2011 até 2022. MÉTODOS Trata-se de estudo ecológico que utiliza dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade, do Sistema de Informações Demográficas e Socioeconômicas e da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua. O recorte etário foi estabelecido entre 30 e 69 anos e a evolução das taxas no tempo foi feita por meio de modelos autorregressivos integrados de média móvel em plataforma estatística R. RESULTADOS As taxas de mortalidade precoce por doenças respiratórias crônicas apresentam-se decrescentes no Brasil como um todo e na maior parte das capitais, assim como, há tendência a atingir a meta do Ministério da Saúde na maior parte do país. Para capitais que tendem a não atingir a meta, verifica-se associação entre mortalidade e indicadores sociais, rede assistencial de saúde e frequência do tabagismo. CONCLUSÃO Pretende-se que o estudo possibilite um melhor planejamento do sistema público de saúde para o controle das doenças respiratórias crônicas.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: descrever o perfil clínico-epidemiológico e analisar a variável de desfecho óbito entre os casos notificados de Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave em um hospital federal do Rio de Janeiro. Método: estudo transversal descritivo, elaborado a partir de dados secundários da vigilância epidemiológica da Área de Epidemiologia do Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado. Resultados: os casos de síndrome respiratória aguda grave notificados pelo Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado apresentaram um perfil de idosos, com elevada prevalência de comorbidades. Os fatores relacionados ao óbito hospitalar foram: faixa etária 70 a 79 anos, sexo masculino, presença de dispneia, desconforto respiratório, saturação <95%, cardiopatias, doença renal, doença neurológica, pneumopatia, neoplasias, uso de suporte ventilatório invasivo. Conclusão: a vigilância epidemiológica assume um papel fundamental, não somente na notificação, investigação e encerramento dos casos, mas também na identificação das características da população acometida e dos fatores relacionados à maior gravidade da nova doença


Objective: to describe the clinical-epidemiological profile and analyze the death outcome variable among reported cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in a federal hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study, based on secondary data from the epidemiological surveillance of the Epidemiology Area of the Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado. Results: the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome notification carried out by the Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado presented a profile of elderly people, with a high prevalence of comorbidities. The related factors with hospital death were: age group 70 to 79 years, male gender, presence of dyspnea, respiratory distress, saturation <95%, heart disease, kidney disease, neurological disease, lung disease, neoplasms, use of invasive ventilatory support. Conclusion: epidemiological surveillance plays a fundamental role, not only in the notification, investigation and closure of cases, but also in the identification of the characteristics of the affected population and the related factors with the greater severity of the new disease

ABSTRACT

In keeping with the process of institutionalization of evaluation of primary healthcare in Brazil, we developed the Evaluative Matrix of the Longitudinal Bond (MAVIL in Portuguese), a simple and concise evaluative tool. MAVIL is structured according to three dimensions in the concept of longitudinal bond: Dimension 1 - recognition of the basic health unit (UBS in Portuguese) as a regular source of care, Dimension 2 - healthcare worker/patient interpersonal relationship, and Dimension 3 - continuity of information. The instrument consists of a structured set of 12 criteria, 20 indicators and respective questions, and verification items submitted to various validation stages. The current article presents the statistical validation of the MAVIL application in two UBS in a health territory in order to support future applications and also verify the instrument's capacity to capture differences in the longitudinal bond profile between UBS. The method included the following definitions: sample design, choice of the metric, descriptive data analysis, and comparative test of means, through application of the test of normality and nonparametric statistic. As results, the sample by strata, together with option of totaling the points from the MAVIL items as the metric, allowed describing the longitudinal bond profile for three cross-sections: territory and UBS A and B. To verify the capacity of MAVIL to capture differences in the longitudinal bond profile, we tested the hypothesis of the data's normality with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Having rejected the hypothesis of normality, we opted for the Wilcoxon nonparametric test to compare the UBS. Dimension 1 and Dimension 2 showed similar profiles, but there was a significant difference for Dimension 3, attesting to the sensitivity of MAVIL.


Consonante com o processo de institucionalização da avaliação da atenção primária no Brasil, foi desenvolvida a Matriz Avaliativa do Vínculo Longitudinal (MAVIL), instrumental avaliativo simples e conciso. A MAVIL estrutura-se a partir das três dimensões do conceito de vínculo longitudinal: Dimensão 1 - reconhecimento da unidade básica de saúde (UBS) como fonte regular de cuidados, Dimensão 2 - relação interpessoal profissional/paciente e Dimensão 3 - continuidade da Informação. Consiste em um conjunto estruturado de 12 critérios, 20 indicadores e respectivas questões e itens de verificação, submetido a várias etapas de validação. O presente artigo apresenta a validação estatística da aplicação MAVIL em duas UBS de um território de saúde a fim de respaldar as futuras aplicações e averiguar também a capacidade do instrumento para captar diferenças no perfil do vínculo longitudinal entre UBS. O método consistiu nas seguintes definições: desenho da amostra, escolha da métrica, análise descritiva dos dados e teste comparativo de médias, por meio da aplicação do teste de normalidade e de estatística não paramétrica. Como resultados: a amostra por estrato, junto à opção da soma dos pontos dos itens da MAVIL como métrica, possibilitou descrever o perfil do vínculo longitudinal para os três recortes: território e UBS A e B. Para verificar a capacidade da MAVIL em captar diferença no perfil de vínculo longitudinal, testou-se a hipótese da normalidade dos dados a partir do teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Rejeitada a hipótese da normalidade, optou-se pelo teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon para comparar as UBS. Para Dimensão 1 e Dimensão 2, constatou-se a semelhança de perfil, contudo, para Dimensão 3, houve diferença significativa, atestando a sensibilidade da MAVIL.


En consonancia con el proceso de institucionalización de la evaluación de la atención primaria en Brasil, se desarrolló la Matriz Evaluativa del Vínculo Longitudinal (MAVIL), un instrumento evaluativo simple y conciso. MAVIL se estructura a partir de las tres dimensiones del concepto de vínculo longitudinal: Dimensión 1 - reconocimiento de la unidad básica de salud (UBS) como fuente regular de cuidados, Dimensión 2 - relación interpersonal profesional/paciente y Dimensión 3 - continuidad de la información. Consiste en un conjunto estructurado de 12 criterios, 20 indicadores y sus respectivas cuestiones e ítems de verificación, sometido a varias etapas de validación. Este artículo presenta la validación estadística de la aplicación MAVIL en dos UBS de una zona con servicios de salud, con el fin de respaldar sus futuras aplicaciones y también averiguar la capacidad de la herramienta para captar diferencias en el perfil del vínculo longitudinal entre UBS. El método consistió en las siguientes definiciones: diseño de la muestra, elección del sistema de medición, análisis descriptivo de los datos y test comparativo de medias, a través de la aplicación del test de normalidad y de estadística no paramétrica. Como resultados: muestra por estrato, junto a la opción de suma de los puntos de los ítems de la MAVIL como sistema de medición, posibilitó describir el perfil del vínculo longitudinal para las tres secciones elegidas: territorio, UBS A y B. Para verificar la capacidad de la MAVIL en captar la diferencia en el perfil de vínculo longitudinal se probó la hipótesis de la normalidad de los datos, a partir del test de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Rechazada la hipótesis de la normalidad, se optó por la prueba no paramétrica de Wilcoxon para comparar las UBS. En Dimensión 1 y Dimensión 2 se constató la semejanza de perfil, sin embargo, en la Dimensión 3 hubo una diferencia significativa, constatando la sensibilidad de la MAVIL.

O presente artigo apresenta a validação estatística da aplicação MAVIL em duas UBS de um território de saúde a fim de respaldar as futuras aplicações e averiguar também a capacidade do instrumento para captar diferenças no perfil do vínculo longitudinal entre UBS. O método consistiu nas seguintes definições: desenho da amostra, escolha da métrica, análise descritiva dos dados e teste comparativo de médias, por meio da aplicação do teste de normalidade e de estatística não paramétrica. Como resultados: a amostra por estrato, junto à opção da soma dos pontos dos itens da MAVIL como métrica, possibilitou descrever o perfil do vínculo longitudinal para os três recortes: território e UBS A e B. Para verificar a capacidade da MAVIL em captar diferença no perfil de vínculo longitudinal, testou-se a hipótese da normalidade dos dados a partir do teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Rejeitada a hipótese da normalidade, optou-se pelo teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon para comparar as UBS. Para Dimensão 1 e Dimensão 2, constatou-se a semelhança de perfil, contudo, para Dimensão 3, houve diferença significativa, atestando a sensibilidade da MAVIL.


Abstract: In keeping with the process of institutionalization of evaluation of primary healthcare in Brazil, we developed the Evaluative Matrix of the Longitudinal Bond (MAVIL in Portuguese), a simple and concise evaluative tool. MAVIL is structured according to three dimensions in the concept of longitudinal bond: Dimension 1 - recognition of the basic health unit (UBS in Portuguese) as a regular source of care, Dimension 2 - healthcare worker/patient interpersonal relationship, and Dimension 3 - continuity of information. The instrument consists of a structured set of 12 criteria, 20 indicators and respective questions, and verification items submitted to various validation stages. The current article presents the statistical validation of the MAVIL application in two UBS in a health territory in order to support future applications and also verify the instrument's capacity to capture differences in the longitudinal bond profile between UBS. The method included the following definitions: sample design, choice of the metric, descriptive data analysis, and comparative test of means, through application of the test of normality and nonparametric statistic. As results, the sample by strata, together with option of totaling the points from the MAVIL items as the metric, allowed describing the longitudinal bond profile for three cross-sections: territory and UBS A and B. To verify the capacity of MAVIL to capture differences in the longitudinal bond profile, we tested the hypothesis of the data's normality with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Having rejected the hypothesis of normality, we opted for the Wilcoxon nonparametric test to compare the UBS. Dimension 1 and Dimension 2 showed similar profiles, but there was a significant difference for Dimension 3, attesting to the sensitivity of MAVIL.


Resumen: En consonancia con el proceso de institucionalización de la evaluación de la atención primaria en Brasil, se desarrolló la Matriz Evaluativa del Vínculo Longitudinal (MAVIL), un instrumento evaluativo simple y conciso. MAVIL se estructura a partir de las tres dimensiones del concepto de vínculo longitudinal: Dimensión 1 - reconocimiento de la unidad básica de salud (UBS) como fuente regular de cuidados, Dimensión 2 - relación interpersonal profesional/paciente y Dimensión 3 - continuidad de la información. Consiste en un conjunto estructurado de 12 criterios, 20 indicadores y sus respectivas cuestiones e ítems de verificación, sometido a varias etapas de validación. Este artículo presenta la validación estadística de la aplicación MAVIL en dos UBS de una zona con servicios de salud, con el fin de respaldar sus futuras aplicaciones y también averiguar la capacidad de la herramienta para captar diferencias en el perfil del vínculo longitudinal entre UBS. El método consistió en las siguientes definiciones: diseño de la muestra, elección del sistema de medición, análisis descriptivo de los datos y test comparativo de medias, a través de la aplicación del test de normalidad y de estadística no paramétrica. Como resultados: muestra por estrato, junto a la opción de suma de los puntos de los ítems de la MAVIL como sistema de medición, posibilitó describir el perfil del vínculo longitudinal para las tres secciones elegidas: territorio, UBS A y B. Para verificar la capacidad de la MAVIL en captar la diferencia en el perfil de vínculo longitudinal se probó la hipótesis de la normalidad de los datos, a partir del test de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Rechazada la hipótesis de la normalidad, se optó por la prueba no paramétrica de Wilcoxon para comparar las UBS. En Dimensión 1 y Dimensión 2 se constató la semejanza de perfil, sin embargo, en la Dimensión 3 hubo una diferencia significativa, constatando la sensibilidad de la MAVIL.

Results: 376 suspected hospitalized cases of COVID-19 were included; 52.9% were women, 57.4% were 50 years old or above and 80.1% exhibited comorbidities. COVID-19 was confirmed in 51.9%. Confirmed cases had higher lethality (37.9%) than discarded cases (24.2%). In the adjusted analysis, lethality in confirmed cases was higher for the 50-69 age group (OR=11.65 ­ 95%CI 1.69;80.33), 70 years or older group (OR=8.43 ­ 95%CI 1.22;58.14), presence of neoplasia (OR=4.34 ­ 95%CI 1.28;14.76) and use of invasive ventilatory support (OR=70.20 - 95%CI 19.09;258.19). Conclusion: Higher mortality was associated with older individuals, neoplasia and invasive ventilatory support.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The PHASES score was formulated to predict the 5-year risk of rupture for intracranial aneurysms. We retrospectively analyzed all patients treated in our institution for aneurysmal SAH and applied the PHASES score to estimate the probable predicted risk of bleeding in this group of patients. METHODS: Between February 2015 and August 2018, all patients with aneurysmal SAH were retrospectively analyzed and the PHASES score was applied. A total of 155 patients were included with a mean age of 53.8years, including 60 males and 95 females. RESULTS: Of our patients 110 (70.9%) had a PHASES score of below or equal to 5, with a hemorrhagic risk of up to 1.3% over 5years. If we analyze the patients with a risk of below 2% this figure increases to 122 patients (78.7%). Of these 99.3% were European and 0.6% were Japanese (1 patient). In 86 patients (55.4%), the aneurysm was smaller than 5mm and in 10 patients (6.4%) the aneurysm was located in the posterior circulation. CONCLUSION: Of our patients 78.7% had less than a 2% 5-year rupture risk based on their PHASES score, highlighting the discrepancy of the rupture risk calculated with the PHASES score when hypothetically applied to this group of patients. In the hypothetical scenario that our patients had unruptured aneurysms, our retrospective analysis shows that the PHASES score may only provide a weak tool for clinicians to use in the decision-making process as to whether or not to treat these aneurysms.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of confirmed cases of yellow fever whose patients were hospitalized in a general hospital for infectious diseases in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from March 11, 2017 to June 15, 2018, during a recent outbreak and factors associated with death. METHODS: This is a retrospective observational study with analysis of secondary databases of local epidemiological surveillance system, and complementary data collection from epidemiological investigation records and clinical records. Study variables included demographic, epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data. A descriptive statistical analysis and a bivariate and multivariate analysis by logistic regression were performed to analyze factors associated with death. RESULTS: Fifty-two patients diagnosed with yellow fever were hospitalized, 86.5% male patients, median age 49.5 years, 40.4% rural workers. The most frequent signs and symptoms were fever (90.4%), jaundice (86.5%), nausea and/or vomiting (69.2%), changes in renal excretion (53.8%), bleeding (50%), and abdominal pain (48.1%), with comorbidity in 38.5% of all cases. The lethality rate was 40.4%. Factors significantly associated with a higher chance of death in the bivariate analysis were: bleeding, changes in renal excretion, and maximum values of direct bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), urea, and creatinine. In the multivariate analysis by logistic regression, only changes in renal excretion and ALT remained significant predictors of higher chance of death. A threshold effect was also observed for AST. The cutoff points identified as high risk for death were ALT > 4,000 U/L and AST > 6,000 U/L. CONCLUSIONS: This study contributed to the knowledge on the profile of confirmed cases of high severity yellow fever. The main factors associated with death were changes in renal excretion and elevated serum transaminases, especially ALT. High lethality emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and treatment, and the importance of increasing vaccination coverage.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) are difficult to treat with coiling or clipping because of the anatomical variation in this region. Flow diversion represents a feasible treatment, but no consensus exists as to which stent deployment technique is more suitable. METHODS: All patients with ACoA aneurysms treated with flow diverters between April 2014 and November 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Aneurysm characteristics, follow-up results, and clinical outcome data were recorded, and a new classification comparing the diameters of both A1 segments is proposed: H1=same diameters; H2=<50% difference in diameters; H3= ≥50% difference; and Y=no A1 segment. RESULTS: We analyzed 30 procedures in 30 patients with ACoA aneurysms, including 16 ruptured aneurysms treated with coiling embolization and 4 previously unruptured aneurysms (two Medina and two Woven EndoBridge devices). Adequate aneurysm occlusion occurred in 86.9%; one patient (3.3%) experienced symptomatic ischemic stroke. The global thromboembolic complications for each group were 17.6% (H1), 25% (H2), and 60% (H3). CONCLUSION: Flow diversion treatment in this region is safe, feasible, and effective. The most suitable anatomical configuration for flow diverter treatment seems to be the H1 configuration where the 'I technique' is suitable (from an A1 segment to the ipsilateral A2). There is a tendency that the H3 configuration is not a good indication for flow diverter treatment. However, further studies are needed to evaluate the feasibility of this anatomical classification and the reproducibility of our findings.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Descrever o perfil clínico-epidemiológico dos casos confirmados de febre amarela internados em hospital geral de referência para doenças infecciosas no estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, de 11 de março de 2017 a 15 de junho de 2018, durante recente surto e fatores associados ao óbito. MÉTODOS Estudo observacional retrospectivo, com análise de bases de dados secundários da vigilância epidemiológica local e coleta complementar de dados nas fichas de investigação epidemiológica e prontuários clínicos. As variáveis analisadas incluíram dados demográficos, epidemiológicos, clínicos e laboratoriais. Foi conduzida análise estatística descritiva bivariada e múltipla por regressão logística para estudo de fatores associados ao óbito. RESULTADOS Foram internados 52 casos confirmados, 86,5% deles homens, com mediana de idade de 49,5 anos e 40,4% trabalhadores rurais. Os sinais e sintomas mais frequentes foram: febre (90,4%), icterícia (86,5%), náuseas e/ou vômitos (69,2%), alterações de excreção renal (53,8%), hemorragias (50%) e dor abdominal (48,1%), com comorbidade em 38,5% dos casos. A letalidade foi de 40,4%. Os fatores associados significativamente à maior chance de óbito na análise bivariada foram: hemorragia, alterações de excreção renal e valores máximos de bilirrubina direta, aspartato aminotransferase (AST), alanina aminotransferase (ALT), ureia e creatinina. Na análise múltipla por regressão logística, apenas alterações de excreção renal e ALT permaneceram como preditores significativos de maior chance de óbito. Observou-se ainda efeito limítrofe para AST. Os pontos de corte identificados como de alto risco para óbito foram ALT > 4.000 U/L e AST > 6.000 U/L. CONCLUSÕES O estudo contribuiu para o conhecimento do perfil de casos confirmados de febre amarela com gravidade alta. Os principais fatores associados ao óbito foram a alteração da excreção renal e a elevação sérica de transaminases, sobretudo a ALT. A letalidade elevada reforça a necessidade de diagnóstico e tratamento precoces, e a importância do incremento da cobertura vacinal.
