RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the efficacy of palonosetron, alone or with dexamethasone, in reducing postoperative nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) and its impact on hospitalization duration in patients who undergo adult cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) under general anesthesia. DESIGN: This retrospective analysis involved 540 adult patients who underwent CTS from a single-center cohort, spanning surgeries between September 2021 and March 2023. Sensitivity, logistic, and Cox regression analyses evaluated antiemetic effects, PONV risk factors, and outcomes. SETTING: At the Virginia Mason Medical Center (VMMC), Seattle, WA. PARTICIPANTS: Adults undergoing cardiothoracic surgery at VMMC during the specified period. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were categorized into the following 4 groups based on antiemetic treatment: dexamethasone, palonosetron, dexamethasone with palonosetron, and no antiemetic. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Primary outcomes encompassed PONV incidence within 96 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included intensive care unit stay duration and postoperative opioid use. Palonosetron recipients showed a significantly lower PONV rate of 42% (v controls at 63%). The dexamethasone and palonosetron combined group also demonstrated a lower rate of 40%. Sensitivity analysis revealed a notably lower 0- to 12-hour PONV rate for palonosetron recipients (9% v control at 28%). Logistic regression found decreased PONV risk (palonosetron odds ratio [OR]: 0.24; dexamethasone and palonosetron OR: 0.26). Cox regression identified varying PONV hazard ratios related to female sex, PONV history, and lower body mass index. CONCLUSIONS: This single-center retrospective study underscored palonosetron's efficacy, alone or combined with dexamethasone, in managing PONV among adult patients who undergo CTS. These findings contribute to evolving antiemetic strategies in cardiothoracic surgery, potentially impacting patient outcomes and satisfaction positively.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study explored physician anesthesiologists' knowledge, exposure, and perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) and their associations with attitudes and expectations regarding its use in clinical practice. The findings highlight the importance of understanding anesthesiologists' perspectives for the successful integration of AI into anesthesiology, as AI has the potential to revolutionize the field. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of 27,056 US physician anesthesiologists was conducted to assess their knowledge, perceptions, and expectations regarding the use of AI in clinical practice. The primary outcome measured was attitude toward the use of AI in clinical practice, with scores of 4 or 5 on a 5-point Likert scale indicating positive attitudes. The anticipated impact of AI on various aspects of professional work was measured using a 3-point Likert scale. Logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between participant responses and attitudes toward the use of AI in clinical practice. RESULTS: A 2021 survey of 27,056 US physician anesthesiologists received 1086 responses (4% response rate). Most respondents were male (71%), active clinicians (93%) under 45 (34%). A majority of anesthesiologists (61%) had some knowledge of AI and 48% had a positive attitude toward using AI in clinical practice. While most respondents believed that AI can improve health care efficiency (79%), timeliness (75%), and effectiveness (69%), they are concerned that its integration in anesthesiology could lead to a decreased demand for anesthesiologists (45%) and decreased earnings (45%). Within a decade, respondents expected AI would outperform them in predicting adverse perioperative events (83%), formulating pain management plans (67%), and conducting airway exams (45%). The absence of algorithmic transparency (60%), an ambiguous environment regarding malpractice (47%), and the possibility of medical errors (47%) were cited as significant barriers to the use of AI in clinical practice. Respondents indicated that their motivation to use AI in clinical practice stemmed from its potential to enhance patient outcomes (81%), lower health care expenditures (54%), reduce bias (55%), and boost productivity (53%). Variables associated with positive attitudes toward AI use in clinical practice included male gender (odds ratio [OR], 1.7; P < .001), 20+ years of experience (OR, 1.8; P < .01), higher AI knowledge (OR, 2.3; P = .01), and greater AI openness (OR, 10.6; P < .01). Anxiety about future earnings was associated with negative attitudes toward AI use in clinical practice (OR, 0.54; P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Understanding anesthesiologists' perspectives on AI is essential for the effective integration of AI into anesthesiology, as AI has the potential to revolutionize the field.

RESUMO

The relationship between fructose intake and insulin resistance remains controversial. Our purpose was to determine whether a reduction in dietary fructose is effective in decreasing insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR). This field trial was conducted on 438 adults with overweight and obese status, without diabetes. A total of 121 patients in a low fructose diet (LFD) group and 118 in a standard diet (SD) group completed the 24-week study. Both diets were prescribed with 30-40% of energy intake restriction. There were no between-group differences in HOMA2-IR. However, larger decreases were seen in the LFD group in waist circumference (-7.0 vs. -4.8 = -2.2 cms, 95% CI: -3.7, -0.7) and fasting blood glucose -0.25 vs. -0.11 = -0.14 mmol/L, 95% CI: -0.028, -0.02). The percentage of reduction in calorie intake was similar. Only were differences observed in the % energy intake for some nutrients: total fructose (-2 vs. -0.6 = -1.4, 95% CI: -2.6, -0.3), MUFA (-1.7 vs. -0.4 = -1.3, 95% CI: -2.4, -0.2), protein (5.1 vs. 3.6 = 1.4, 95% CI: 0.1, 2.7). The decrease in fructose consumption originated mainly from the reduction in added fructose (-2.8 vs. -1.9 = -0.9, 95% CI: -1.6, -0.03). These results were corroborated after multivariate adjustments. The low fructose diet did not reduce insulin resistance. However, it reduced waist circumference and fasting blood glucose concentration, which suggests a decrease in hepatic insulin resistance.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Research published to date on the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and fructose consumption is scarce, has used different methods, and has yielded sometimes contradictory results. This study aims to determine whether a low-fructose and/or low-sucrose diet supervised by a physician or nurse decreases IR compared to a standard diet. METHODS/DESIGN: This field trial is located at primary care centers. The participants are adults aged 29 to 66 years, with a Body mass Index (BMI) between 29 and 40.99 kg/m2 and without diabetes. To date, 245 participants have been assigned randomly to the low-fructose diet intervention group (LFDI) at health centers in the western health service zone of Tenerife island, and 245 to the standard-diet control group (SDC) at health centers in the eastern health service zone. Recruitment is opportunistic and is carried out by physicians and nurses at participating health centers. Initially (baseline), and after 24 weeks of intervention, dietary records, physical activity, waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and insulin concentrations (HOMA2-IR) and lipid profile are recorded; blood glucose and insulin and lipid profile are also recorded 2 h after a 75-g glucose overload. After 48 weeks (24 weeks after the intervention), fasting blood samples are again obtained and a physical examination is performed. All tests and measures are repeated and recorded except dietary records, physical activity and oral glucose overload. Low-fructose diets are designed by calculating free and total (free + fructose associated with sucrose) fructose contents in standard diets, and removing foods with a fructose content in the highest quartile for the amounts in the standard diet. Participants in both groups are prescribed a diet that contains 30 to 40% less than the participant's energy requirements. The primary endpoint is change in HOMA2-IR between baseline and week 24, and other outcomes are change in HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides , waist circumference to height ratio and BMI. The secondary endpoint is change in HOMA2-IR between week 24 and week 48 together with the outcomes noted above. Comparisons between groups for variables used to indicate IR levels are done with a Student's t test for unpaired variables or the Mann-Whitney U test if the distribution is not normal. Multivariate regression models will be used to control for confounding factors not accounted for in the study design, and for independent prognostic factors. DISCUSSION: If the dietary intervention being tested, i.e., a diet low in fructose/sucrose, is able to reduce IR, the results - if translated into regular clinical practice - could provide a hitherto unavailable tool to prevent type-2 diabetes mellitus.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The involvement of carbohydrates in triggering insulin resistance (IR) remains a source of controversy. AIM OF THE STUDY: To study the relation between glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), and fructose with insulin resistance in a predominantly rural population in the Canary Islands. METHODS: Cross-sectional study carried out in 668 nondiabetic people aged 18-75. IR was estimated with serum glucose and C-peptide (HOMA2-IR). Nutrient intakes were obtained from a validated food frequency questionnaire. ANOVA was used to analyze nutrient distribution across quartiles of HOMA2-IR. Four multivariate nutrient density models (dependent variable: log-transformed HOMA2-IR) which differed only in the kinds of carbohydrates included were tested (Model 1: carbohydrates; Model 2: GI and then GL; Model 3: free fructose, other simple sugars and starch; Model 4: total fructose, remaining sugars and starch). RESULTS: There was no association between GI and IR. There was a direct association between GL (P < 0.001), fructose (free [P = 0.001], total [P = 0.013]), energy intake (P < 0.001), fruit fiber (<0.001), and glucose (P = 0.003) with IR. There was an inverse association between cereal (P = 0.008) and vegetable fiber (P < 0.001) and IR. Multivariate models corroborated the association of carbohydrates, GL, fructose, vegetable fiber, and energy intake with IR. The association between GL and IR disappeared when Model 2 was adjusted by total fructose intake. CONCLUSIONS: There was a direct association between fructose intake and IR. There was no relationship between GI and IR. Although a direct association of GL with IR was detected, it was attributable to the consumption of fructose.

RESUMO

Fundamento y objetivos: Identificar el índice antropométrico que mejor detecta riesgo cardiovascular (RCV) y diabetes mellitus de tipo 2 (DM2) en población adulta española y cuál es su punto de corte ideal. Sujetos y métodos: Estudio transversal en población general (n=6.729). Se estimó sensibilidad y especificidad de varios índices antropométricos: cintura abdominal, índice de masa corporal, ratio abdomen/pelvis y ratio abdomen/estatura (RA/E). Se obtuvieron sus áreas bajo la curva operador-receptor con respecto a los siguientes factores de RCV: riesgo coronario alto estimado según la ecuación de Framingham, hipertensión arterial, hiperlipidemia, DM2, síndrome metabólico (SM) y glucemia en ayunas alterada (GAA). Para estimar los riesgos relativos, calculamos la razón de ventajas con intervalo de confianza (IC) del 95%. Resultados: La RA/E produjo la mayor área de los 4 índices en DM2 y demás factores de RCV, que osciló entre 0,65 para GAA en varones (IC del 95%: 0,63–0,68) y 0,87 para SM en mujeres (IC del 95%: 0,86–0,89). La RA/E alcanzó la máxima sensibilidad (0,91) y especificidad (0,70) en el SM, y su punto de corte óptimo fue 0,55; con él, los riesgos estimados por la RA/E fueron también mayores que con los demás índices, y variaron desde 2,30 para GAA (IC del 95%: 1,96–2,70) hasta 16,20 para SM (IC del 95%: 13,68–19,20).Conclusiones: La RA/E es el índice con mejor capacidad de detección de DM2 y demás factores de RCV en esta población, y es el que mayor fuerza alcanza en su asociación con ellos. De su punto de corte (0,55) se deduce que conviene evitar que la cintura abdominal supere la mitad de la estatura (AU)


Background and objectives: To identify the anthropometric index that best detects cardiovascular risk (CVR) and type 2 diabetes (DM2) in the adult Spanish population and to determine its cut-off point. Subjects and methods: cross-sectional study in the general population (n=6279). Sensitivity and specificity were estimated for the anthropometric indexes: abdominal waist, body mass index, waist to hip ratio and waist to height ratio (WtHR). The areas of these indexes under ROC curve (AUC) were obtained for the following CVR factors: high coronary risk computed with Framingham model, Hypertension, Hyperlipemia, DM2, Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG). The odds ratio, with 95% confidence interval (CI95%), was calculated. Results: WtHR was the index showing the highest AUC for DM2 and the remaining CVR factors, varying between 0.65 (CI95%=0.63–0.68) for IFG in men and 0.87 (CI95%=0.86–0.89) for MS in women. RA/E reached the maximum sensitivity (0.91) and specificity (0.70) in SM and its optimal cut-off point was 0.55, which displayed the highest risks amongst indexes, varying from 2.30 (1.96–2.70) in IFG to 16’20 (13.68–19.20) in MS. Conclusions: RA/E is the index presenting the best ability to detect DM2 and CVR in this population, and it shows the stronger association with them. Its cut-off point, 0.55, confirms the convenience of keeping the abdominal waist to less than half the height (AU)

RA/E reached the maximum sensitivity (0.91) and specificity (0.70) in SM and its optimal cut-off point was 0.55, which displayed the highest risks amongst indexes, varying from 2.30 (1.96-2.70) in IFG to 16'20 (13.68-19.20) in MS. CONCLUSIONS: RA/E is the index presenting the best ability to detect DM2 and CVR in this population, and it shows the stronger association with them. Its cut-off point, 0.55, confirms the convenience of keeping the abdominal waist to less than half the height.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The Canary Islands population experiences the highest type 2 diabetes (DM2) mortality in Spain. We studied lifestyle, unknown DM2 and treatment adherence in diabetics of these islands. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of 6729 subjects from the general population (age 18-75) that participate in the cohort study "CDC of the Canary Islands". We found out their medical problems, diet, physical activity, medications, smoking, etc. RESULTS: Prevalence of DM2 was 12% in men and 10% in women (p=0.005). The disease was unknown in 22% of men and 9% of women (p < 0.001). Considering unknown DM2, lack of treatment and lack of adherence, 48% of men and 28% of women did not follow a regular treatment. Diabetics' men prevalences of smoking (28%; CI(95%)=23-33) and sedentariness (62%; CI(95%)=56-68) were similar to non diabetic men, but obesity was more frequent in diabetics (45 versus 25%; p < 0.001). Diabetics women showed a higher obesity (54 versus 27%; p < 0.001) and a lower smoking prevalence (11 versus 22%; p < 0,001) than non diabetics, but they presented a similar sedentariness (75%; CI(95%)=70-79). In both sexes, energy intake was lower in diabetics (p < 0.001), but 93% of them (CI(95%)=91-95) showed a high consumption of calories from saturated fat and 69% (CI(95%)=65-72) presented metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: The Canarian diabetics are a sedentary and obese population that show a high consumption of saturated fats and high prevalence of metabolic syndrome. The proportion of them following regular treatment is low, specially in diabetic men that, in addition, still smoke.

El objetivo de esteestudio es conocer el estilo de vida de las personas diabéticasdel archipiélago y su adherencia al tratamiento, así como laDM2 desconocida.Métodos: estudio transversal de 6.729 personas de la poblacióngeneral participantes en la cohorte “CDC de Canarias”(edad 18-75 años). Se obtuvieron sus antecedentes médicos,dieta, actividad física, medicamentos consumidos, tabaco, etc.Resultados: la prevalencia de DM2 fue 12% en varones y10% en mujeres (p=0,005). El 22% de varones y 9% de mujeresdesconocían su enfermedad (p<0,001). Sumando DM2desconocida, DM2 no tratada e incumplimiento terapéutico, el48% de los hombres y 28% en mujeres no seguían tratamientocorrecto. Los varones diabéticos eran más obesos que los nodiabéticos (45 versus 25%; p<0,001) pero no presentaban diferenciasen tabaquismo (28%; IC95%=23-33) o sedentarismo(62%; IC95%=56-68). Las mujeres diabéticas también eran másobesas (54 versus 27%; p<0,001) y, aunque fumaban menos(11 versus 22%; p<0,001), eran igual de sedentarias (75%;IC95%=70-79). La ingesta calórica era menor en quienes sufríanDM2 (p<0,001), pero el 93% (IC95%=91-95) superaba elconsumo recomendado de grasas saturadas y el 69%(IC95%=65-72) padecía síndrome metabólico.Conclusiones: la población diabética en Canarias essedentaria y obesa, muestra un consumo alto de grasas saturadasy gran prevalencia de síndrome metabólico. El porcentajeque sigue tratamiento regular es muy bajo, sobretodo en varones,que además mantienen el tabaquismo(AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The registering of eating habits requires a valid and reliable method. The purpose of this study is to validate the food intake frequency questionnaire, CDC-FFQ, which is an adaptation of another questionnaire, in order to assess the nutrition of the adult population of the Canary Islands. METHODS: The CDC-FFQ questionnaire was given to 1,067 individuals taken from the general population (GP) and to 106 university students, aged 19 to 30. The second group was surveyed also in three 24-hour follow-ups. The nutrients were compared according to the CDC-FFQ in the GP and university students. The correlations were estimated between the CDC-FFQ and the follow-ups for nutrients and groups of foods and the concordance of the intakes of nutrients and groups of foods in the extreme quintiles, for the university students. RESULTS: The mean values between nutrients of the CDC-FFQ between the GP, university students and the general population with university studies showed no significant differences except for vitamin B12 (p=0.004) and vitamin D (p=0.005). Correlations between the CDC-FFQ and the mean of the three follow-ups were obtained in the 0.202-0.601 range between nutrients adjusted by calories consumed in the case of the university students. By groups of foods, the correlations ranged between 0.243-0.542 for the CDC-FFQ and the follow-ups. The concordance of nutrients ranged between 39% and 100% and for groups of foods, between 41% and 100%. CONCLUSIONS: The CDC-FFQ questionnaire is valid for classifying the subjects in the relative ranges of their level of intake of foods and nutrients and, therefore, it could be useful in epidemiological studies with a diet assessment in the adult population of the Canary Islands.

RESUMO

Fundamento: Registrar los hábitos alimenticios exige de un método válido y fiable. El objetivo del estudio es validar el cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos CDC-FFQ, que es una adaptación de otro cuestionario, para estudiar la alimentación de la población adulta de Canarias. Métodos: El cuestionario CDC-FFQ fue administrado a 1.067 personas de la población general (PG) y a 106 estudiantes universitarios (EU), de 19 a 30 años. El segundo grupo fue encuestado también sobre tres recordatorios de 24 horas. Se comparan los nutrientes según CDC-FFQ en PG y EU. Se estiman las correlaciones entre CDC-FFQ y los recordatorios para nutrientes y grupos de alimentos, y la concordancia de consumos de nutrientes y grupos de alimentos en los quintiles extremos, para los estudiantes universitarios. Resultados: Los valores medios entre nutrientes del CDC-FFQ entre PG, EU y población general con estudios universitarios no mostraron diferencias significativas excepto para la vitamina B12 (p=0.004) y la vitamina D (p=0,005). Entre el CDC-FFQ y la media de los tres recordatorios se obtuvieron correlaciones en el rango de 0,202-0,601 entre nutrientes ajustados por calorías consumidas para los estudiantes universitarios. Por grupos de alimentos las correlaciones oscilaron para CDC-FFQ y los recordatorios entre 0,243-0,542. La concordancia de nutrientes osciló entre 39% y 100% y para grupos de alimentos entre 41% y 100%. Conclusiones: El cuestionario CDC-FFQ resulta válido para clasificar a los sujetos en los rangos relativos de su nivel de ingesta de alimentos y nutrientes, por lo que podría ser útil en estudios epidemiológicos con valoración de dieta en población canaria adulta (AU)

Results: The mean values between nutrients of the CDC-FFQ between the GP, university students and the general population with university studies showed no significant differences except for vitamin B12 (p=0.004) and vitamin D (p=0.005). Correlations between the CDC-FFQ and the mean of the three follow-ups were obtained in the 0.202-0.601 range between nutrients adjusted by calories consumed in the case of the university students. By groups of foods, the correlations ranged between 0.243-0.542 for the CDC-FFQ and the follow-ups. The concordance of nutrients ranged between 39% and 100% and for groups of foods, between 41% and 100%. Conclusions: The CDC-FFQ questionnaire is valid for classifying the subjects in the relative ranges of their level of intake of foods and nutrients and, therefore, it could be useful in epidemiological studies with a diet assessment in the adult population of the Canary Islands (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Anaemia is highly prevalent in children of developing countries. It is associated with impaired physical growth and mental development. Palmar pallor is recommended at primary level for diagnosing it, on the basis of few studies. The objective of the study was to systematically assess the accuracy of clinical signs in the diagnosis of anaemia in children. METHODS: A systematic review on the accuracy of clinical signs of anaemia in children. We performed an Internet search in various databases and an additional reference tracking. Studies had to be on performance of clinical signs in the diagnosis of anaemia, using haemoglobin as the gold standard. We calculated pooled diagnostic likelihood ratios (LR's) and odds ratios (DOR's) for each clinical sign at different haemoglobin thresholds. RESULTS: Eleven articles met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were performed in Africa, in children underfive. Chi-square test for proportions and Cochran Q for DOR's and for LR's showed heterogeneity. Type of observer and haemoglobin technique influenced the results. Pooling was done using the random effects model. Pooled DOR at haemoglobin <11 g/dL was 4.3 (95% CI 2.6-7.2) for palmar pallor, 3.7 (2.3-5.9) for conjunctival pallor, and 3.4 (1.8-6.3) for nailbed pallor. DOR's and LR's were slightly better for nailbed pallor at all other haemoglobin thresholds. The accuracy did not vary substantially after excluding outliers. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis did not document a highly accurate clinical sign of anaemia. In view of poor performance of clinical signs, universal iron supplementation may be an adequate control strategy in high prevalence areas. Further well-designed studies are needed in settings other than Africa. They should assess inter-observer variation, performance of combined clinical signs, phenotypic differences, and different degrees of anaemia.
