ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Lung transplant (LT) is the ultimate option for end-stage lung diseases. Malnutrition and sarcopenia, common in LT recipients, can be reversible with adequate exercise and nutrition. This study aims to assess changes in physical performance and aerobic capacity after a 10-week rehabilitation program (RP) in LT recipients, as well as to describe the prevalence of sarcopenia and malnutrition before and after RP and their influence on clinically relevant outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Quasi-experimental study, before and after a 10-week PR in first-time TP recipients, aged over 18 years, from January 2022 to September 2023. Aerobic exercise capacity was assessed through the 6-minute walking test (6MWT) and peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak); and physical performance was measured using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Additionally, the prevalence of sarcopenia was described according to the criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) and malnutrition according to the criteria of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM). RESULTS: Of the 41 patients, 56% had sarcopenia and 80% had malnutrition. After RP, the distance walked in the 6MWT increased by 66.3m (p=0.004) in men and 61m (p=0.001) in women. VO2peak increased in men by a mean of 3.1ml/min/kg (p=0.024). Physical performance improved significantly in both men and women according to the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), with clinically relevant differences of 1.6 pts (p<0.001) and 1.2 pts (p=0.012), respectively. The prevalence of sarcopenia decreased to 24% and malnutrition to 61%. CONCLUSIONS: RP proved to be an effective and safe intervention for LT recipients. In addition to improvements in skeletal muscle strength and exercise capacity, a reduction in the prevalence of sarcopenia and malnutrition was also observed.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: La prevalencia de malnutrición es elevada entre la población mayor. El ingreso hospitalario es una ventana de oportunidad para su detección. Objetivo: Valorar la concordancia de distintas escalas nutricionales en pacientes hospitalizados.Método: Estudio prospectivo en pacientes mayores de 65años no institucionalizados ingresados en un servicio de Medicina Interna. Se compararon 5 encuestas de cribado de malnutrición (MNA, MST, MUST, NRS-2000 y CONUT) y 3 encuestas de cribado de riesgo nutricional (SCREEN3, 8 y 14). Como patrón de referencia se utilizó la definición de malnutrición de la Iniciativa Global para el Liderazgo en Malnutrición (GLIM). Resultados: Se incluyeron 85 pacientes (37% mujeres, mediana de edad 83años). El 48% (IC95%: 38-59%) de los pacientes fueron clasificados como malnutridos según criterios GLIM. La escala SCREEN3 fue la más sensible (93%; IC95%: 87-98) y MUST la más específica (91%; IC95%: 85-99). La escala más eficaz para excluir la sospecha de malnutrición fue SCREEN3 (LR− 0,17; IC95%: 0,05-0,53) y la mejor para confirmarla fue MST (LR+ 7,08; IC95%: 3,06-16,39). La concordancia entre las distintas escalas fue baja o muy baja, con índices kappa entre 0,082 y 0,465.Conclusiones: Se precisa un abordaje integral para detectar la malnutrición en adultos mayores ingresados. Las escalas más sensibles son más útiles en el cribado inicial. Las herramientas de riesgo nutricional podrían ser eficaces en esta etapa. En un segundo paso se debe confirmar la malnutrición de acuerdo con criterios establecidos como los de la GLIM.(AU)


Background: The prevalence of malnutrition is high among the elderly population. Hospital admission is a window of opportunity for its detection. Objective: To assess the concordance of different nutritional scales in hospitalized patients. Methods: Prospective study in non-institutionalized patients over 65years of age admitted to an internal medicine department. Five malnutrition screening surveys (MNA, MST, MUST, NRS-2000 and CONUT) and three nutritional risk screening surveys (SCREEN3, 8 and 14) were compared. As gold standard we use the Global Leadership Initiative for Malnutrition (GLIM) definition of malnutrition. Results: Eighty-five patients (37% female, median age 83years) were included. Forty-eight percent (95%CI: 38-59%) of patients were classified as malnourished according to GLIM criteria. The SCREEN3 scale was the most sensitive (93%; 95%CI: 87-98) and MUST the most specific (91%; 95%CI: 85-99). The most effective scale for excluding suspected malnutrition was SCREEN3 (LR− 0.17; 95%CI: 0.05-0.53) and the best for confirming it was MST (LR+ 7.08; 95%CI: 3.06-16.39). Concordance between the different scales was low or very low with kappa indices between 0.082 and 0.465. Conclusions: A comprehensive approach is needed to detect malnutrition in hospitalized patients. More sensitive scales are more useful in initial screening. Nutritional risk tools could be effective at this stage. In a second step, malnutrition should be confirmed according to established criteria such as GLIM.(AU)

ABSTRACT

El fallo de medro representa la dificultad para mantener un ritmo de crecimiento adecuado, tanto en peso como en talla, en menores de tres años. Se trata de una entidad actualmente infradiagnosticada que puede repercutir en el desarrollo físico, intelectual, emocional y social de los niños. El pediatra de Atención Primaria es clave en la identificación precoz y en la prevención de su morbilidad. Este documento representa una herramienta útil para el desarrollo de la labor conjunta del pediatra y la enfermería pediátrica, realizando una intervención precoz, individualizada y eficiente en estos niños. (AU)


Failure to thrive is poor physical growth, both in weight and height, in children under three years of age. This underdiagnosed entity can affect children’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. Paediatric Primary Care is crucial in early diagnosis and prevention of their morbidity. This document represents a useful tool for the teamwork between paediatricians and paediatric nursing. Its objective is to carry out an early, individualized and efficient approach in these children.

ABSTRACT

Secondary basilar invagination or basilar impression is an anomaly at the craniovertebral junction where the odontoid process prolapses into the foramen magnum with the risk of compressing adjacent structures and obstructing the proper flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The incidence is less than 1% in the general population and occurs mainly in the first three decades of life when it is associated with malformations of the neuroaxis. In older age, the main aetiologies are diseases that alter bone mineral density. The clinical course is usually progressive and the most common symptoms are asthenia, cervical pain and restricted movement, but also dysphonia, dyspnoea and dysphagia. It is a progressive disease which, if left untreated, can cause severe neurological damage and death. We report the case of a 79-year-old woman with osteoporosis and progressive dysphagia leading to severe malnutrition, which conditioned the decision not to intervene due to the high perioperative risk.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar los factores de riesgo asociados con las fracturas de cadera osteoporóticas en octogenarios y busca perfeccionar las estrategias de prevención primaria para estas fracturas. Material y métodos Realizamos un estudio de casos y controles en el que participaron personas de 79 años o más con fracturas de cadera, comparándolas con controles de la misma edad y sexo sin antecedentes de fracturas de cadera. Se recogieron factores epidemiológicos, clínicos, antropométricos y analíticos. Se evaluó la presencia de osteoporosis mediante densitometría ósea. Definimos la sarcopenia según los criterios del Grupo de Trabajo Europeo sobre Sarcopenia en Personas Mayores (EWGSOP2). Resultados Se analizaron 95 pacientes por grupo, con una edad media de 82 años, de los cuales 74% eran mujeres. El análisis multivariado incluyó factores estadísticamente significativos encontrados en el análisis univariado (p<0,05). Estos factores incluyeron el índice de Barthel, la evaluación nutricional mediante la herramienta CONUT, el ácido fólico, la deficiencia de vitamina D, la presencia de fracturas previas, la pérdida de agudeza visual, la circunferencia bicipital, la sarcopenia y la osteoporosis (densitometría en el cuello del fémur). El estado nutricional (OR: 0,08 [0,01-0,61]), los niveles de ácido fólico (OR 0,32 [0,1-1]) y la pérdida de agudeza visual (OR 33,16 [2,91-377,87]) fueron los factores de riesgo independientes asociados con fractura de cadera. Conclusiones La evaluación del estado nutricional en pacientes de edad avanzada, junto con una evaluación geriátrica integral, representan herramientas fácilmente reproducibles y rentables. Estas herramientas pueden ayudar eficazmente a identificar a las personas con riesgo de sufrir fracturas de cadera, contribuyendo así a medidas preventivas más específicas y eficientes. (AU)


Objective This study aims to identify the risk factors associated with osteoporotic hip fractures in octogenarians and seeks to refine primary prevention strategies for these fractures. Material and methods We conducted a case–control study involving individuals aged 79 years and older with hip fractures, comparing them to age- and sex-matched controls without a history of hip fractures. We collected epidemiological, clinical, anthropometric, and analytical factors. We evaluated the presence of osteoporosis using bone densitometry. We defined sarcopenia according the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People criteria (EWGSOP2). Results Ninety-five patients per group were analyzed, with a mean age of 82 years, of which 74% were women. The multivariate analysis included statistically significant factors found in the univariate analysis (P<.05). These factors included the Barthel Index, nutritional assessment using the CONUT tool, folic acid, vitamin D deficiency, presence of previous fractures, loss of visual acuity, bicipital circumference, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis (densitometry in the neck of the femur). The nutritional state (OR: 0.08 [0.01–0.61]), the folic acid levels (OR 0.32 [0.1–1]), and a loss of visual acuity (OR 33.16 [2.91–377.87]) were the independent risk factors associated with hip fracture. Conclusions The assessment of nutritional status in elderly patients, coupled with a comprehensive geriatric assessment, represents easily reproducible and cost-effective tools. These tools can effectively aid in identifying individuals at risk of hip fractures, thereby contributing to more targeted and efficient preventive measures. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la prevalencia de malnutrición, las características clínicas asociadas con la misma y el impacto del estado nutricional en la mortalidad, la calidad de vida y las habilidades relacionadas con el autocuidado y las actividades de la vida diaria en pacientes ancianos con insuficiencia cardíaca avanzada. Métodos Entre junio de 2017 y diciembre de 2019 se llevó a cabo un estudio prospectivo multicéntrico de cohortes que incluyó a 260 pacientes ancianos con insuficiencia cardíaca avanzada que vivían en la comunidad. El estudio se llevó a cabo en 22 centros de atención primaria, tres hospitales universitarios, un hospital de agudos y una unidad de rehabilitación geriátrica de la ciudad de Barcelona (España). El estado nutricional se evaluó al inicio del estudio mediante el cuestionario Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) Las medidas de resultado informadas por los pacientes incluyeron calidad de vida (EQ-5D-3L), conducta de autocuidado (Escala europea de conducta de autocuidado en insuficiencia cardíaca) e impacto en las actividades de la vida diaria (índice de Barthel). Resultados Utilizando el MNA-SF, se identificó que 126 (48,5%) pacientes estaban en riesgo de malnutrición y 33 (12,7%) pacientes tenían malnutrición confirmada. En comparación con aquellos con un estado nutricional normal, los pacientes con malnutrición confirmada eran significativamente mayores, con un IMC más bajo y con niveles reducidos de hemoglobina. Durante el seguimiento (mediana de 14,9 meses, intervalo intercuartil: 4,9-26,9), 133 (51,2%) de los participantes incluidos murieron. La mortalidad fue significativamente mayor entre los pacientes con malnutrición (p<0,001). Un mayor índice de Barthel y mejores puntuaciones de calidad de vida se relacionaron inversamente con el riesgo de desnutrición (odds ratio [OR] 0,97 [intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,96-0,98] y OR 0,98 [intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,96-0,99]), respectivamente...

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of malnutrition, the clinical characteristics associated with malnutrition and the impact of nutritional status on mortality, quality of life, self-care abilities, and activities of daily living in the older patients with advanced heart failure. METHODS: A prospective multicentre cohort study including 260 community-dwelling elderly patients with advanced HF was conducted between June 2017 and December 2019. The study was carried out in 22 primary healthcare centres, three university hospitals, one acute-care hospital, and one geriatric rehabilitation unit in the city of Barcelona (Spain). Nutritional status was assessed at baseline using the Mini Nutritional Assessment questionnaire. Patient-reported outcome measures included quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), self-care behaviour (European Heart Failure Self-care Behaviour Scale) and impact on activities of daily living (Barthel Index). RESULTS: Using the MNA-SF, 126 (48.5%) patients were identified as being at risk of malnutrition and 33 (12.7%) patients as having confirmed malnutrition. Compared to HF patients with normal nutritional status, patients with confirmed malnutrition were significantly older, with a lower BMI, and with reduced haemoglobin levels. During follow-up (median 14.9 months, Interquartile Range; 4.9-26.9), 133 (51.2%) of the included participants died, and mortality was significantly higher among patients identified as having malnutrition (p < 0.001). Better Barthel index and quality of life scores were inversely related to the risk of malnutrition, [Odds Ratio (OR) 0.97 (95% Confidence interval 0.96; 0.98) and OR 0.98 (95% Confidence interval, 0.96; 0.99)], respectively. Higher scores in the European Heart Failure Self-care Behaviour Scale, which implies worse self care, were related to higher malnutrition risk, OR 1.05 (95% Confidence interval, 1.02; 1.09. Adjusted multivariate logistic model found that malnutrition was significantly associated with poor quality of life, and adverse impacts on daily activities and self-care. CONCLUSIONS: In community-dwelling older patients with advanced HF, malnutrition was associated with worse patient reported outcome measures related to poor quality of life, and adverse impacts on self-care and daily activities. Nutritional status must be systematically addressed by primary care nurses and family doctors to improve survival rates in these patients. It would be helpful the incorporation of expert professionals in nutrition in the primary health care centres.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La malnutrición relacionada con la enfermedad es un problema de alta prevalencia que continúa provocando graves repercusiones clínicas sobre los pacientes institucionalizados. La falta de un acuerdo mundial sobre los criterios de diagnóstico nutricional que deben aplicarse en el entorno clínico compromete la detección y el abordaje nutricional. En este estudio se pretende evaluar el índice de malnutrición en la institución hospitalaria, definir la validez de los criterios GLIM y ESPEN y determinar el criterio de referencia para el diagnóstico nutricional en la práctica clínica. Metodología: Estudio transversal, descriptivo desarrollado en un hospital de larga estancia en una muestra de 314 pacientes. Se analizó el diagnóstico nutricional mediante los criterios ESPEN y GLIM. Se evaluó la sensibilidad, especificidad y concordancia entre ambos criterios para determinar la validez de su uso en la práctica clínica. Resultados: La prevalencia de malnutrición fue del 58% según ESPEN y 78% en base a GLIM, siendo severa en el 24% de los pacientes y moderada en el 76%. La concordancia entre ESPEN y GLIM fue moderada (I. kappa: 0,325). Los criterios GLIM mostraron una sensibilidad buena (93,75%) y una especificad deficiente (38,32%). Por el contrario, los criterios ESPEN definieron una sensibilidad regular (61,4%) y una buena especificidad (85,4%). Conclusiones: Ambos criterios diagnósticos ESPEN y GLIM serían adecuados para la evaluación del diagnóstico nutricional en la práctica clínica. Sin embargo, los criterios GLIM resultan de mayor validez al identificar precozmente individuos en proceso de malnutrición. (AU)


Introduction: Disease-related malnutrition is a problem of high prevalence that continues to cause serious clinical repercussions on institutionalized patients. The lack of global agreement on the nutritional diagnostic criteria to be applied in the clinical setting compromises the detection and nutritional approach. This study intends to evaluate the malnutrition index in the hospital institution, define the validity of the GLIM and ESPEN criteria and determine the reference criterion for nutritional diagnosis in clinical practice. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted in a long-stay hospital in a sample of 314 patients. Nutritional diagnosis was analyzed using ESPEN and GLIM criteria. The sensitivity, specificity and concordance between both criteria were evaluated to determine the validity of their use in clinical practice. Key results: The prevalence of malnutrition was 58% according to ESPEN and 78% based on GLIM, being severe in 24% of patients and moderate in 76%. The agreement between ESPEN and GLIM was moderate (I. kappa: 0.325). The GLIM criteria showed good sensitivity (93.75%) and poor specificity (38.32%). In contrast, the ESPEN criteria defined regular sensitivity (61.4%) and good specificity (85.4%). Conclusions: Both ESPEN and GLIM diagnostic criteria would be suitable for the evaluation of nutritional diagnosis in clinical practice. However, the GLIM criteria are more valid when identifying individuals in the process of malnutrition early. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) se caracteriza por su alta prevalencia de malnutrición, de difícil detección al ser subestimada por las herramientas habitualmente usadas. No existe un cribado nutricional válido a nivel hospitalario en castellano para identificar pacientes con ERC en riesgo de malnutrición. Objetivo: traducir y realizar la adaptación transcultural al castellano del cuestionario de Jackson y cols. (Renal Inpatient Nutrition Screening Tool [iNUT Renal]), que detecta el riesgo de malnutrición en pacientes con ERC ingresados, y compararlo con herramientas nutricionales clásicas. Métodos: fase 1: traducción, retrotraducción y adaptación transcultural del cuestionario en versión inglesa a la versión castellana. Prueba piloto realizada por enfermería con posterior cuestionario de satisfacción. Fase 2: comparación de iNUT Renal con Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) y Valoración Global Subjetiva (VGS). Resultados: fase 1: la valoración de enfermería fue altamente favorable. Lo consideraron fácil o muy fácil de utilizar y el 90 % lo realizó en un máximo de diez minutos. Fase 2: de los 48 pacientes incluidos, iNUT Renal detectó un 44 % en riesgo bajo de malnutrición, 28 % en riesgo intermedio y 28 % en riesgo alto. Se halló mayor sensibilidad del iNUT Renal (p < 0,007) vs. MUST (62,5 vs. 33,3 %), similar especificidad (87,1 vs. 90,6 %) y aceptable correlación en comparación con VGS (r = 0,75, IC 95 %: 0,67-0,83). Conclusiones: la versión castellana de iNUT Renal es una herramienta útil y de fácil comprensión para el personal sanitario. Asimismo, confirmamos su buena correlación con VGS, con mayor sensibilidad que MUST para la detección del riesgo de malnutrición en el paciente con ERC ingresado. (AU)


Introduction: chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by its high prevalence of malnutrition, difficult to detect as it is underestimated by the usual tools. There is no valid or hospital-level nutritional screening tool in Spanish to identify patients with CKD at risk of malnutrition. Objective: to translate and accomplish the transcultural adaptation of Jackson‘s questionnaire (Renal Inpatient Nutrition Screening Tool [Renal iNUT]) to Spanish, which detects the risk of malnutrition in CKD inpatients and compares it with other nutritional tools. Methods: phase 1: translation, back-translation and transcultural adaptation of the questionnaire from the English to the Spanish version. A pilot test was carried out by nursing staff together with a satisfaction questionnaire. Phase 2: comparison of Renal iNUT with Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Results: phase 1: the nursing staff’s perception was highly favorable. They found it easy or very easy to use and 90 % of them did it in a maximum of ten minutes. Phase 2: from 48 patients included, Renal iNUT detected 44 % at low risk of malnutrition, 28 % at intermediate risk and 28 % at high risk. Increased sensitivity of Renal iNUT (p < 0.007) vs MUST (62.5 vs 33.3 %) and similar specificity (87.1 vs 90.6 %) were found, together with an acceptable correlation compared to SGA (r = 0.75, 95 % CI: 0.67 to 0.83). Conclusions: the Spanish version of Renal iNUT is a useful and easy-to-understand tool for health professionals. We also confirm its good correlation with SGA, with greater sensitivity than MUST for the risk of malnutrition detection in CKD inpatients. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: entre los retos epidemiológicos de la sociedad española de la primera mitad del siglo XX, destacaba el problema de la malnutrición. Aunque eran el hambre y la desnutrición las formas más prevalentes, el sobrepeso y la obesidad empezaban a emerger entre las clases acomodadas. En todos los casos y, sobre todo, en el escenario de la sobrealimentación, la cuestión no era tanto económica como de falta de conocimientos. Por esta razón, para los higienistas eran fundamentales la divulgación y la educación en alimentación y nutrición. En este ámbito, destaca la aportación del endocrinólogo catalán Jesús Noguer Moré (1903-1983). El objetivo es analizar los trabajos que dedicó a la obesidad. Material y método: análisis bibliográfico de las obras de Jesús Noguer Moré. Resultados y conclusión: consideraba la obesidad una patología de etiología multifactorial con graves consecuencias para la morbimortalidad. Intervendrían desde la genética hasta patologías previas, pasando por hábitos alimentarios y de vida inadecuados. Su abordaje terapéutico debía basarse en restricciones calóricas y actividad física. Subrayaba el papel de determinados tipos de actividades familiares o profesionales en el fomento del sobrepeso y la obesidad. En materia preventiva, resaltaba la importancia de las prácticas culinarias y gastronómicas, al mismo tiempo que hacía recaer la responsabilidad de las mismas en las amas de casa, un discurso de género que llevó a Noguer a situar a las mujeres como colectivo diana de su acción divulgadora y donde estuvo muy presente el ideal de belleza femenina vigente en el periodo de entreguerras. (AU)


Introduction: among the epidemiological challenges facing Spanish society in the first half of the 20th century, the problem of malnutrition stood out. Although hunger and malnutrition were the most prevalent forms, overweight and obesity were beginning to emerge, particularly among the wealthier classes. In all cases, and especially in the overnutrition situation, the issue was not so much economic as one of lack of knowledge. For this reason, for the hygienists, dissemination and education in food and nutrition was fundamental. In this field, the contribution of the Catalan endocrinologist Jesús Noguer Moré (1903-1983) stands out. The aim is to analyze the work he devoted to obesity. Material and methods: bibliographic analysis of the works of Jesús Noguer Moré. Results and conclusion: he considered obesity as a pathology of multifactorial etiology with serious consequences for morbidity and mortality. It would involve everything from genetics to previous pathologies, as well as inadequate dietary and lifestyle habits. Its therapeutic approach should be based on calorie restriction and physical activity. He underlined the role of certain types of family or professional activities in promoting overweight and obesity. In terms of prevention, he emphasized the importance of culinary and gastronomic practices, while at the same time placing the responsibility for these practices on housewives. A gender discourse that led Noguer to place women as the target group for his dissemination activities and where the ideal of feminine beauty in force in the inter-war period was very much present.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: scientific evidence on the appropriate nutritional support in the treatment of post-operative head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is still limited. Objectives: our aim was to evaluate nutritional status and quality of life in HNC patients in post-operative phase with different nutritional support. Methods: fifty-four HNC patients (26 with enteral nutrition [EN] via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy [PEG] and 28 with oral nutrition [ON]) were included. Nutritional status was evaluated with biochemical parameters and quality of life through the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Results: ON patients reported significantly (p < 0.05) lower levels of hemoglobin, lymphocytes, iron, folic acid, and vitamin D than EN patients, with greater percentage of ON patients found to be below the reference limits for hemoglobin (21.4 % vs 19.4 %), and significantly for serum iron (17.9 % vs 0 %) and vitamin D (78.6 % vs 30.8 %). Furthermore, EN patients had a better quality of life (63.8 ± 17.6) than ON (55.4 ± 20.3), although ON patients reported less symptoms related to dyspnea (-5.8 %), loss of appetite (-11.3 %) and vomiting (-23.1 %). Conclusions: these results suggest that the use of EN in post-operative HNC patients could have a positive effect on the nutritional status and quality of life of these patients. However, further research is needed to optimize the nutritional support in these patients in order to avoid malnutrition and improve their well-being. (AU)


Introducción: la evidencia científica sobre el soporte nutricional más apropiado en pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello (CCC) en el periodopostoperatorio es aún limitada.Objetivos: el objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el estado nutricional y la calidad de vida en pacientes con CCC en el periodo postoperatorio.Métodos: se incluyeron 54 pacientes con CCC (26 con nutrición enteral [NE] mediante gastrostomía endoscópica percutánea [PEG] y 28 connutrición oral NO]). El estado nutricional se evaluó mediante parámetros bioquímicos y la calidad de la vida, con el cuestionario European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30).Resultados: los pacientes con NO reportaron valores significativamente (p < 0,05) menores de hemoglobina, linfocitos, hierro sérico, ácidofólico y vitamina D respecto a los pacientes con NE, con un mayor porcentaje de pacientes con NO por debajo de los límites de referencia dehemoglobina (21,4 % vs. 19,4 %) y significativamente de hierro sérico (17,9 % vs. 0 %) y vitamina D (78,6 % vs. 30,8 %). Además, los pacientescon NE reportaron una mejor calidad de vida (63,8 ± 17,6) respecto los pacientes con NO (55,4 ± 20,3), aunque los pacientes con NO refirieronmenos síntomas cómo disnea (-5,8 %), pérdida de apetito (-11,3 %) y vómitos (-23,1 %).Conclusión: estos resultados sugieren que el uso de NE en pacientes con HNC tras cirugía podría tener un efecto positivo sobre su estadonutricional y su calidad de vida. Sin embargo, es necesario seguir investigando para optimizar el soporte nutricional en estos pacientes a fin deevitar la desnutrición y mejorar su bienestar. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Describir la prevalencia del riesgo de deficiencia o exceso en la ingesta de nutrientes y el patrón de consumo de alimentos de acuerdo con las recomendaciones establecidas por el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social y el Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal descriptivo en mujeres sanas que fueron atendidas en dos hospitales del oriente antioqueño, con seguridad alimentaria y nutricional (SAN) según la Escala Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Seguridad Alimentaria (ELCSA), en el primer trimestre de lactancia, evaluadas entre los años 2021 y 2022. La fuente de información fue la historia clínica. Se midieron las características sociodemográficas, clínicas, antropométricas y la ingesta dietética y de micronutrientes. Se empleó estadística descriptiva. Se presenta la prevalencia de déficit o exceso de ingesta calórica y el índice de relación de consumo (IRC). Se utilizaron los software EVINDI v5, PC-SIDE v1.0, Stata 16.1 y Jasp 0.16.4. Resultados: Se incluyeron 30 mujeres lactantes. La prevalencia de riesgo de deficiencia en la ingesta usual de energía fue 43 % y exceso 16 %; el riesgo de deficiencia proteica fue 98 %. El consumo superior al valor de referencia para grasa saturada fue 86 % y carbohidratos simples 72 %. El patrón de consumo se caracterizó por superar las recomendaciones para azúcares (IRC = 1,29), leche y derivados (IRC = 1,09), cereales, raíces, plátanos y tubérculos (IRC = 1,04). No cumplieron las recomendaciones en la ingesta de grasas (IRC = 0,70), carnes, huevos, leguminosas, frutos secos y semillas (IRC = 0,49), frutas y verduras (IRC = 0,41). Conclusiones: El patrón alimentario identificado dista de las guías nacionales, lo que limita el consumo de macro y micronutrientes, y contribuye al círculo intergeneracional de la malnutrición. Es fundamental realizar nuevas investigaciones en el país para identificar otros patrones de consumo e impulsar acciones de política al respecto.


Objectives: To describe the prevalence of the risk of under or overnutrition and the food intake pattern vis á vis the recommendations of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection and the Colombian Family Welfare Institute. Material and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in healthy women receiving care in two hospitals of eastern Antioquia, with food and nutrition security in accordance with the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale (ELCSA), in the first trimester of breastfeeding, assessed between 2021 and 2022. The clinical record was used as the source of information. The sociodemographic, clinical, anthropometric characteristics, as well as dietary and micronutrient intake, were measured. Descriptive statistics were used. The prevalence of deficient or excessive energy intake and the food consumption score (FCS) are presented. The EVINDI v5, PC-SIDE v1.0, Stata 16.1 and Jasp 0.16.4 software packages were used. Results: Overall, 30 breastfeeding women were included. The prevalence of the risk of deficient energy intake was 43 %, while the risk of excessive intake was 16 % and the risk of protein deficiency was 98 %. Intake exceeding the reference value for saturated fats was 86 %, and 72 % for simple carbohydrates. The consumption pattern was characterized by exceeding the recommendations for sugars (FCS = 1.29), milk and dairy products (FCS = 1.09), grains, roots, plantains and tubers (FCS = 1.04). Recommendations for the intake of fats (FCS = 0.70), meats, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds (FCS = 0.49), fruits and vegetables (FCS = 0.41) were not met. Conclusions: The food intake pattern identified is far from meeting the national guidelines, limiting macro and micronutrient intake and contributing to the intergenerational malnutrition cycle. Additional research in the country is essential in order to identify other intake patterns and drive political action.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. En los refrigerios escolares se ha incrementado el consumo de los productos industrializados y se ha observado una disminución en la ingesta de alimentos frescos. Objetivo. Determinar la prevalencia y tendencia de sobrepeso, obesidad y consumo de alimentos no recomendables en escolares del norte de México. Materiales y métodos. Estudio descriptivo y transversal, realizado del año 2015 a 2022 en una muestra de 468 niños de ambos sexos de 9 a 12 años de escuelas públicas, se les realizó mediciones antropométricas de peso, estatura y circunferencia de cintura. Para diagnosticar el estado nutricional se utilizó el puntaje Z del índice de masa corporal (IMC) por medio del software Anthro Plus. El consumo alimentario de los escolares se evaluó por medio de una lista de cotejo durante cinco días consecutivos por observación directa los alimentos y bebidas que los escolares llevaron de casa para consumir durante el horario escolar. Resultados. Se encontró que el sobrepeso (SBP) y la obesidad (OB) aumentó durante la pandemia, siendo mayor el SBP en las niñas (17,0%) y mayor la OB en los niños (46,8%). En cuanto a la ingesta alimentaria se observó que durante la pandemia aumentó el consumo de alimentos no recomendables asociándose con el IMC. Conclusiones. El sobrepeso y la obesidad aumentó durante la pandemia, siendo mayor el sobrepeso en las niñas y mayor la obesidad en los niños. En cuanto a la ingesta alimentaria se observó que durante la pandemia el consumo de alimentos no recomendables específicamente en las bebidas azucaradas aumentó y se asoció con el IMC(AU)


Introduction. School snacks have increased consumption of industrialized products and a decrease in the intake of fresh food has been observed. Objective. Determine the prevalence and trend of overweight, obesity and consumption of undesirable foods in schoolchildren in northern Mexico. Materials and methods. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 468 children of both sexes aged 9 to 12 in public schools and anthropometric measurements of weight, height and waist circumference were made. The body mass index (BMI) Z score was used to diagnose nutritional status using the Anthro Plus software. Food consumption of schoolchildren was evaluated by means of a checklist for five consecutive days by direct observation of the food and beverages that schoolchildren took from home to consume during school hours. Results. Overweight (PBS) and obesity (OB) were found to increase during the pandemic, with higher PBS in girls (17.0%) and higher OB in boys (46.8%). About food intake, it was observed that during the pandemic consumption of undesirable foods increased in association with the BMI. Conclusions. Overweight and obesity increased during the pandemic, being more overweight in girls and obesity in boys. As for food intake it was noted that during the pandemic consumption of foods not specifically recommended in sugary drinks increased and was associated with BMI(AU)

ABSTRACT

La desnutrición como enfermedad de origen social es la expresión última de la situación de inseguridad alimentaria y nutricional de una población, al afectar principalmente a los niños. El objetivo fue analizar la prevalencia y factores relacionados con la desnutrición en la primera infancia en Colombia durante los años 2018 a 2020, mediante un estudio cuantitativo descriptivo de tipo ecológico - exploratorio, con recolección de datos retrospectivos a partir de reportes obtenidos del Sistema Integrado de Información de la Protección Social. El total de casos corresponde a 43.823 reportes, la prevalencia para los tres años fue de 1,13% principalmente en los departamentos de Guajira (n: 3.488; 3,17%) y Boyacá (n: 1.277; 1,39%), mayor número de casos presentados en el sexo masculino (n: 23.804; 54,3%), en edad entre 0 y 1 año (n: 17.099; 39,0%), pertenecientes al régimen subsidiado (n: 28.814; 65,75%) y ubicados en la cabecera municipal (n: 28.114; 64,15%). Con relación a la pertenencia étnica la mayor frecuencia se evidencia en "otras etnias" (n: 33.050; 75,42%), seguido de la etnia indígena (n: 8.348; 19,05%) y el estrato socioeconómico más representativo es el "bajo-bajo" (n: 17.620; 40,21%). Además, existe relación entre el sexo masculino y la desnutrición, comportándose como un factor de riesgo, y el vivir en centro poblado disminuye la probabilidad de presentar desnutrición. Se evidenció una frecuencia significativa de características asociadas a los determinantes sociales en salud y variables específicas relacionadas con la desnutrición.


Malnutrition as a disease of social origin is the ultimate expression of the situation of food and nutritional insecurity of a population, mainly affecting children. The objective was to analyze the prevalence and factors related to malnutrition in early childhood in Colombia during the years 2018 to 2020, through a descriptive quantitative study of an ecological-exploratory type, with retrospective data collection from reports obtained from the Integrated System of Social Protection Information. The total number of cases corresponds to 43,823 reports, the prevalence for the three years was 1.13%, mainly in the departments of Guajira (n: 3,488; 3.17%) and Boyacá (n: 1,277; 1.39%). greater number of cases presented in males (n: 23,804; 54.3%), aged between 0 and 1 year (n: 17,099; 39.0%), belonging to the subsidized regime (n: 28,814; 65.75%) and located in the municipal seat (n: 28,114; 64.15%). In relation to ethnicity, the highest frequency is evidenced in "other ethnic groups" (n: 33,050; 75.42%), followed by the indigenous ethnic group (n: 8,348; 19.05%), and the most representative socioeconomic stratum is the "low-low" (n: 17,620; 40.21%). In addition, there is a relationship between the male sex and malnutrition, behaving as a risk factor, and living in a populated center decreases the probability of presenting malnutrition. A significant frequency of characteristics associated with the social determinants of health and specific variables related to malnutrition was evidenced.
