A novel questionnaire to perform teletriage of dental emergencies in children: A before-and-after study nested within a randomized clinical trial.

Background: This will be a before-and-after study nested within a randomized clinical trial. Its objective will be to analyze the effectiveness of a teleconsultation and validate a questionnaire for performing teletriage in dental urgency/emergency situations in children aged 3 to 13, whose parents will have signed a free and informed consent form, and who have had full access to the internet. Methods: The Questionnaire for Teletriage of Emergencies and Urgencies in Pediatric Dentistry (QuesT-Odontoped)-will be validated by applying it to 140 randomized child parents/guardians. After validation, another 260 children seeking emergency dental care in the municipality of Carangola, Minas Gerais, Brazil, will receive a remote consultation, be randomized, and then allocated into two groups: G1, teleconsultation, and G2, teleconsultation and face-to-face consultation (immediately after the former) with a blinded evaluator, involving anamnesis and conventional clinical examination. The G2 sample will be used in the before-after study. Both groups will be followed-up for 7 and 14 days using pain and quality-of-life scales, applied at baseline and after each follow-up period. Clinical follow-up will be carried out after 12 and 24 months to assess the outcome of the tooth that had been indicated for treatment in the teletriage. The Mann-Whitney test will be used to assess pain; Student's t test or the Mann-Whitney test will be used to assess quality of life and the number of missing teeth after 24 months; and Poisson's regression analysis will be used to assess the influence of other variables. The significance level will be set at 5%. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study expects to confirm the hypothesis that remote urgency consultation (teletriage), through a validated questionnaire, will be able to define the planning of the clinical situation, reducing the chance of displacements and progression of infection, helping to eliminate patient pain and discomfort.

Sports participation among Brazilian adolescents and children: systematic review / Participação esportiva entre adolescentes e crianças brasileiras: revisão sistemática

Abstract The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of sports participation in Brazilian children and adolescents through a systematic literature review. A search was carried out in the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, WEB OF SCIENCE, BIREME, SCIELO, and SCOPUS for manuscripts published until 2020, combining the keywords: "children", "adolescents", "prevalence", and "sports participation", in Portuguese and English. Twenty-six articles published between 2003 and 2020 were included in the review, with the aim of estimating the prevalence of participation in organized sports in Brazilian children and adolescents. Considering the regions where the studies were carried out, the majority were developed in the south (57.7%; n=15), followed by the southeast (19.2%; n=05), and northeast (15.4%; n=04), in addition to 7.7% (n=02) in all regions of the country. The data showed prevalence of sports participation ranging from 15.0% to 73.2% (mean of 44.8%) among children and adolescents, being higher in males (63.1%). From the results found, the need to develop public policies is evident, in order to favor adherence and maintenance of young people to sports practice, especially among those of the female sex.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever a prevalência de participação esportiva em crianças e adolescentes brasileiros por meio de uma revisão sistemática de literatura. A busca foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados eletrônicas: MEDLINE, WEB OF SCIENCE, BIREME, SCIELO e SCOPUS de manuscritos publicados até o ano de 2020, por meio da combinação das palavras-chave: "crianças", "adolescentes", "prevalência" e "participação esportiva", em português e inglês. Foram incluídos na revisão 26 artigos publicados no período de 2003 a 2020, com objetivo de estimar a prevalência de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros acerca da participação em esportes organizados. Quanto a região de realização do estudo, a maioria foi desenvolvido no sul (57.7%; n=15), seguido do sudeste (19.2%; n=05) e nordeste (15.4; n=04), além de 7.7% (n=02) em todas as regiões do país. Os dados mostraram prevalências de participação esportiva que variaram entre 15.0% a 73.2% (média de 44.8%) entre crianças e adolescentes, sendo superior no sexo masculino (63.1%). A partir dos resultados encontrados evidencia-se a necessidade do desenvolvimento de políticas públicas para favorecera aderência e manutenção de jovens para a prática esportiva, principalmente entre aqueles do sexo feminino.

Anthropometric and clinical profiles of post-bariatric patients submitted to procedures in plastic surgery.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the profile of patients submitted to post-bariatric plastic surgery at the North Wing Regional Hospital, Brasília, DF. METHODS: we conducted a prospective, descriptive and analytical study of patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastroplasty, and subsequently to plastic surgery, from January 2011 to December 2016. We assessed body mass index before gastroplasty and after surgery plastic surgery, postoperative complications and comorbidities. RESULTS: we studied 139 patients (130 women and nine men), with a mean age of 41 years, who underwent 233 operations. The mean BMI at the time of plastic surgery was 27.44kg/m2. The mean weight loss was 47.02kg and the mean maximum BMI was 45.17kg/m2. The mean time between bariatric surgery and plastic surgery was 42 months. The most important co-morbidities before plastic surgery were arterial hypertension (11.5%), arthropathy (5.4%), diabetes mellitus (5%) and metabolic syndrome (4.3%) (p<0.01). Of the 139 patients operated on, 76.97% underwent abdominoplasty followed by mammoplasty (42.46%), rhytidoplasty (17.27%) and brachioplasty (13.67%). Fourteen (13.08%) patients underwent herniorrhaphy combined with abdominoplasty. We performed anchor abdominoplasty in 19.42%. The rate of postoperative complications was 26.65%. CONCLUSION: the epidemiological profile of post-bariatric patients who underwent plastic surgery was similar to that reported in the literature, except for the low rate of associated surgeries and postoperative complications. Plastic surgery in post-bariatric patients has led to an improvement in the quality of life in most of these patients.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar o perfil de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia plástica pós-bariátrica no Hospital Regional da Asa Norte, Brasília, DF. Métodos: estudo prospectivo, descritivo e analítico de pacientes submetidos à gastroplastia em Y- Roux e, posteriormente, à cirurgia plástica, no período de janeiro de 2011 a dezembro de 2016. Foram avaliados o índice de massa corporal antes da gastroplastia e depois da cirurgia plástica, as complicações pós-operatórias e as comorbidades. Resultados: foram estudados 139 pacientes (130 mulheres e nove homens) com média de idade de 41 anos e submetidos a 233 operações. O IMC médio no momento da cirurgia plástica foi de 27,44Kg/m2. A média de perda de peso foi de 47,02Kg e a média de IMC máximo foi de 45,17Kg/m2. O tempo médio entre a cirurgia bariátrica e a cirurgia plástica foi de 42 meses. As comorbidades antes da cirurgia plástica mais importantes foram: hipertensão arterial (11,5%), artropatia (5,4%), diabetes mellitus (5%) e síndrome metabólica (4,3%) (p<0,01). Dos 139 pacientes operados, 76,97% foram submetidos à abdominoplastia seguida de mamoplastia (42,46%), ritidoplastia (17,27%) e braquioplastia (13,67%). Quatorze (13,08%) pacientes foram submetidos à herniorrafia combinada à abdominoplastia. Abdominoplastia em âncora foi feita em 19,42%. A taxa de complicações pós-operatórias foi de 26,65%. Conclusão: o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes pós-bariátricos que foram submetidos a cirurgia plástica foi semelhante ao relatado na literatura, exceto pela baixa taxa de cirurgias associadas e complicações pós-operatórias. A cirurgia plástica nos pacientes pós-bariátricos gerou uma melhora da qualidade de vida na maioria desses pacientes.
