ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos: La duración adecuada de la doble terapia antiagregante (DAPT) después de un infarto de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST (IAMCEST) está todavía en discusión. Métodos: Analizamos el efecto de la DAPT extendida a 5 años sobre la mortalidad global, mortalidad cardiovascular y reingreso o mortalidad cardiovascular, en una cohorte multicéntrica de pacientes con IAMCEST supervivientes al año. Resultados: Se incluyeron 3.107 pacientes hospitalizados por IAMCEST de los que el 93% recibió DAPT al alta. A los 5 años se mantenía en 275 pacientes con un perfil alto de gravedad. La mortalidad cardiovascular de los pacientes con antiagregación simple (SAPT) frente a DAPT a 5 años fue de 1,4 y 3,6% (p <0,01), respectivamente. La mortalidad no-cardiovascular fue del 3,3 frente a 5,8% (p=0,049) a 5 años, respectivamente. La incidencia del evento combinado a un año fue del 14,6% en SAPT frente a 11,8% en DAPT (p=0,496), y del 11,4 frente a 46,5% (p <0,001) a 5 años, respectivamente. El mantenimiento de la DAPT hasta los 5 años se asoció de forma independiente a mayor mortalidad: por cualquier causa (HR=2,16; IC95%, 1,40-3,33), cardiovascular (HR=2,83; IC95%, 1,37-5,84) y rehospitalización cardiovascular y mortalidad (HR=5,20; IC95%, 3,96-6,82). Un análisis emparejado por puntuación de propensión, y uno con ponderación de probabilidad inversa, confirman estos resultados. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados sugieren la hipótesis de que, en supervivientes a un año de IAMCEST, alargar la DAPT hasta 5 años en pacientes de alto riesgo no mejora su pronóstico a largo plazo.

Introduction and objectives: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a matter of debate. Methods: We analyzed the effect of DAPT on 5-year all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and cardiovascular readmission or mortality in a cohort of 1-year survivor STEMI patients. Results: A total of 3107 patients with the diagnosis of STEMI were included: 93% of them were discharged on DAPT, a therapy that persisted in 275 high-risk patients at 5 years. Cardiovascular mortality in patients on single antiplatelet therapy vs DAPT at 5 years was 1.4% vs 3.6% (P <.01), respectively, whereas noncardiovascular mortality was 3.3% vs 5.8% (P=.049) at 5 years. Cardiovascular readmission or mortality in patients with single antiplatelet therapy vs DAPT was 11.4% vs 46.5% (P <.001). Extended DAPT was independently associated with worse 5-year all-cause mortality (HR, 2.16; 95%CI, 1.40-3.33), cardiovascular mortality (HR, 2.83; 95%CI, 1.37-5.84), and cardiovascular readmission or mortality (HR, 5.20; 95%CI, 3.96-6.82). These findings were confirmed in propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting analyses. Conclusions: Our results suggest the hypothesis that, in 1-year STEMI survivors, extending DAPT up to 5 years in high-risk patients does not improve their long-term prognosis. (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common primary skin T-cell lymphoma, which is characterized for a heterogeneous clinical expressivity. OBJECTIVE: To report clinical variants and sociodemographic characteristics in patients with MF under the care of a dermatological hospital. METHODS: 290 patients with MF clinical and histopathological diagnosis attended to over the course of 11 years were included. Sociodemographic description of patients was made, who were classified according to clinical and histopathological variants. RESULTS: MF was recorded in 57.9 % of women and 42 % of men. The most common clinical variant was the classic type in 46.2 %; dyschromic variants accounted for 35.2 %, out of which hypopigmented MF was the most representative (17.6 %); poikilodermatous MF accounted for 4.1 %, and folliculotropic, for 3.1%. The papular variant occurred in six patients (2.1 %), the single-plaque variety in three (1%), and the ichthyosiform, syringotropic and granulomatous slack skin varieties occurred in one patient each. The granulomatous variant was found in 0.7 %, and 1.4 % had erythroderma. CONCLUSIONS: The most common MF clinical variant was classic plaque stage, followed by dyschromic variants. Other clinical variants accounted for 18.6 %.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: Los pacientes con lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) tienen un riesgo aumen tado de padecer infecciones tanto adquiridas en la comunidad como asociadas con el cuidado de la salud. Las infecciones bacterianas son las más frecuentes y graves durante la hospitalización de estos pacientes. Objetivo: Desarrollar y validar internamente un modelo de predicción clínica de pronóstico del riesgo de infección bacteriana adquirida en el hospital en pacientes con LES, usando datos clínicos y de laboratorio obtenidos durante las primeras horas de hospitalización. Métodos: Se analizó una cohorte retrospectiva de pacientes con LES mayores de 16 arios, hos pitalizados por motivos diferentes a infección bacteriana en 2 hospitales de alta complejidad de Medellín entre 2011 y 2016. Se compararon las características de los pacientes que des arrollaron el desenlace de infección bacteriana entre el día 3 y el día 15 de hospitalización con aquellos que no lo presentaron. Las variables significativas en el análisis bivariado fueron consideradas para la construcción del modelo por medio de regresión logística multivariada. Resultados: Se incluyeron 765 episodios, de los cuales 98 (12,8%) presentaron el desenlace de interés. Se consideraron 35 predictores candidatos. Las variables incorporadas en el modelo final fueron: edad, recuento de neutrófilos, puntaje de actividad lúpica SLEDAI, uso de sonda vesical, uso de catéter venoso central en las primeras 72 h, dosis de glucocorticoides en el mes previo y el uso de un antimalárico en los 3 meses previos. La capacidad de discrimi nación del modelo fue aceptable a buena (AUC-ROC 0,74; IC 95% 0,69-0,80). La prueba de bondad de ajuste de Hosmer-Lemeshow (p = 0,637) evidenció una adecuada calibración. Conclusión: Desarrollamos un modelo de predicción clínica de pronóstico del riesgo de infec ción bacteriana nosocomial en pacientes con LES. El modelo desarrollado está compuesto por variables clínicas y de laboratorio simples disponibles en el momento del ingreso al hospital. Se requieren estudios de validación externa y de impacto clínico antes de su implementación rutinaria.


ABSTRACT Introduction: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have an increased risk of developing community-acquired infections, as well as those associated with health care. Bacterial infections are the most common and serious while these patients are in hospital. Objective: To develop, and internally validate, a clinical prediction model for the prognosis of the risk of hospital-acquired bacterial infection in SLE patients using clinical and laboratory data obtained during the first hours of hospital admission. Methods: An analysis was performed on retrospective cohort of patients with SLE older than 16 years and admitted for reasons other than bacterial infection in 2 highly complex hospitals in Medellín between 2011 and 2016. The characteristics of the patients who developed a bacterial infection were compared between day 3 and day 15 of hospital admission with those who did not develop one. The significant variables in the bivariate analysis were used for the construction of the model using multivariate logistic regression. Results: A total of 765 episodes were included, of which 98 (12.8%) presented the outcome of interest. Thirty-five candidate predictors were considered. The variables incorporated in the final model were: age, neutrophil count, SLEDAI lupus activity score, use of a bladder catheter, use of a central venous catheter in the first 72 h, glucocorticoid doses in the previous month, and use of an antimalarial drug in the 3 previous months. The discrimination capacity of the model was acceptable to good (AUC-ROC 0.74; 95% CI 0.69-0.80). The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test (P = .637) suggested adequate calibration. Conclusion: A clinical prediction model of prognostic risk of nosocomial bacterial infection in patients with SLE has been developed. This model is made up of simple clinical and laboratory variables available at the time of hospital admission. External validation and clinical impact studies are required before routine implementation.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El microcarcinoma diferenciado de tiroides (MCDT) es definido por la OMS, como un tumor <10 mm en su diámetro mayor. Estos tumores son casi exclusivamente de estirpe papilar, representando el 30 % de todos los carcinomas papilares. La historia natural del MCDT es poco conocida y existe una controversia sobre cuál es la óptima forma de abordaje. Objetivos: 1) Analizar retrospectivamente las características del MCDT; 2) Evaluar factores de riesgo de persistencia/recurrencia en una cohorte retrospectiva seguida en la C.A.B.A. Materiales y Métodos: Se recolectaron los datos de 187 pacientes en un estudio retrospectivo multicéntrico y se analizaron las características clínicas, histopatológicas, bioquímicas y distintos factores pronósticos del MCDT. Resultados: El 82,8 % eran mujeres, con una X ± DS de edad de 48 ± 13 años. La mediana de tiempo de seguimiento fue de 38 meses (r: 1-120). El 97 % de los tumores eran de estirpe papilar. En el 29,4 % de los pacientes el hallazgo fue incidental, de los cuales el 57 % se operó por el tamaño del bocio. El 81 % de los pacientes fue sometido a una tiroidectomía total, mientras que el 91,4 % recibió ablación posquirúrgica con radioiodo. Los 174 pacientes que fueron seguidos por más de 12 meses, con una X ± DS de 49 ± 36,9 meses, fueron incluidos en el análisis de sobrevida. El 84 % estaban libres de enfermedad (LE) al final del seguimiento. De los factores de persistencia/recurrencia analizados, la Tg preablativa > 20 ng/ml resultó un predictor independiente. Al realizar el análisis de regresión de Cox para el evento LE, se demostró que tanto la edad

Introduction: Differentiated thyroid microcarcinoma (MCDT) has been defined as a differentiated thyroid cancer measuring 10 mm or less. The majority of these tumors are papillary thyroid carcinomas and comprise 30 % of all papillary thyroid carcinomas. Little is known of its natural history and there is an ongoing controversy in the field regarding its optimum management. Objectives: 1) To describe the characteristics of MCDT 2) To assess risk factors for persistence and/ or recurrence of disease in a retrospective cohort of patients followed up at several health centers of the City of Buenos Aires (CABA). Patients and Methods: The medical records of 187 patients with MCDT operated on between January 1st, 2000 and December 31st, 2009 at several centers of CABA were retrospectively reviewed, and clinical, histopathological, biochemical characteristics and risk factors were assessed. Results: Most of the patients were female (82.8 %) and their mean age was 48 ± 13 (X ± SD) years. Median follow up was 38 months (range: 1 to 120 months), and 97 % of tumors were papillary thyroid cancers. Incidentalomas accounted for 29.4 % of tumors, mostly found during a surgical procedure undergone for the size of the goitre. Over 81 % of patients underwent a total thyroidectomy, while 91.4 % received radioactive iodine ablation. Patients with a follow-up longer than 12 months after surgery were analyzed longitudinally to assess prognostic factors of disease outcome (174 patients). After a mean follow-up of 49 ± 36.9 months, 146 (84 %) patients had no evidence of disease. Only postoperative, preablation Tg levels > 20 ng/ml were identified as an independent adverse prognostic factor in the multivariate analyses. In addition, age < 45 ys. (p< 0.01), tumor size > 0.5cm (p<0.017), and preablation Tg levels >20 ng/ml (p<0.011) were independent prognostic factors of a longer time to disease remission in the longitudinal analyses. Conclusion: Differentiated thyroid microcarcinoma has an excellent prognosis in our local practice, with 84 % disease remission at long-term follow-up. Age at diagnosis, tumor size and preablation Tg levels were independent prognostic factors of time to disease remission.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Little attention has been given to the effect of vascular access site on mortality, while an increasing body of evidence is showing that radial access has much more benefit than femoral access for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients. We aimed to assess the influence of vascular access site on mortality at 30 days and at 1 year in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients. METHODS: We included all patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who had undergone primary angioplasty at 2 Galician hospitals between 2008 and 2010. We performed 2 multivariate regression models for each endpoint (30-day and 1-year mortality). The only difference between these models was the inclusion or not of the vascular access site (femoral vs radial). For each of the 4 models we calculated the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and the C-index. We also tested the interaction between hemodynamic instability and vascular access. RESULTS: We included 1461 patients with a mean age of 64. Of these patients, 86% had radial access and 7.4% had hemodynamic instability. All-cause mortality was 6.8% (100/1461) at 30 days and 9.3% (136/1461) at 1 year. Vascular access site follows hemodynamic instability and age in terms of effect on mortality risk, with an odds ratio of 5.20 (95% confidence interval, 2.80-9.66) for 30-day mortality. A similar effect occurs for 1-year mortality. The C-index slightly improves (without achieving statistical significance) with the inclusion of the vascular access site. CONCLUSIONS: Vascular access site should be taken into account when predicting mortality after a primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
