RESUMO
Objective: To know the most frequent acute cardiovascular complications in a Peruvian population of oncologic patients. Materials and methods: Retrospective, descriptive study of oncologic patients treated at Clinica Delgado between January 2014 and December 2019, from which the subgroup with the seven most prevalent cancers at the national level was selected according to information from Globocan 2018. Additionally, we evaluated the epidemiology of patients with cardiovascular complications that conditioned their hospitalization or were detected during this, calculating their cardiovascular risk according to Hermann and SCORE risk scales. Results: Forty-four patients had complications; 27 (61.4%) were hospitalized due to acute cardiovascular causes. The mean age of this subgroup was 69.88 years (SD 12.77), and 22 (81.5%) were older than 60 years. Fourteen (51.9%) were male. According to the Hermann scale, 33.3% had intermediate-risk and 14.9% had a high or very high risk. According to the SCORE scale, 62.97% had an intermediate-risk and 7.40% high risk. The most common acute cardiovascular complications were deep vein thrombosis and ischemic stroke (66.65%). One patient (3.7%) reported previous cardiovascular disease. Four patients (14.8%) had a fatal outcome during hospitalization. The median length of hospitalization was five days. Conclusions: We present the cases of acute cardiovascular complications in a population of oncologic patients and their vascular risk according to Hermann and SCORE scales. The most common complications were deep vein thrombosis (48.14%), stroke (18.51%), and myocardial infarction (14.81%).
RESUMO
Describir la dinámica epidemiológica de las hospitalizaciones por enfermedad obstructiva crónica (EPOC) en un hospital militar. Material y Métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo de las hospitalizaciones por EPOC en un Hospital Militar nivel III-1 de Lima-Perú. El periodo analizado fue desde enero de 1991 a diciembre de 2013. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó el software de STATA V12.1 y ms Excel 2013. Resultados: Se registraron 1350 egresos con EPOC lo que representa el 1.14% del total de egresos IC95% (0.10% - 1.20%); el 58.15% de los pacientes pertenecían al sexo masculino (p=0.001), el promedio de edad fue de 74 años IC95% (73 - 75 años), (P=0.001), el promedio de estancia hospitalaria fue de 11.3 días IC95% (10.6 - 11.9 días), (P=0.001). En relación al tipo de pacientes según su condición en el hospital, el 31.41% fueron pacientes militares (424/1350) y representaron el 1.32% de todas las hospitalizaciones en esta población. La letalidad por EPOC fue 3.93% IC95% (2.95% - 5.10%) siendo superior a nuestra tasa de mortalidad hospitalaria por todas las causas (2.81%) siendo estadísticamente significativo (p=0.012) odds ratio (OR) 1.4 IC95% (1.05 - 1.87). Conclusión: El perfil epidemiológico de las hospitalizaciones por EPOC en nuestro hospital es la de un paciente del sexo varón con un promedio de edad superior a los 65 años, quién permanecerá en promedio 11 días hospitalizados y donde el 3.93% de los mismo fallecerá en dicha proceso de hospitalización. Observamos también que existe una laguna del conocimiento sobre la Epidemiologia hospitalaria del EPOC en nuestro país; nuestro estudio contribuirá a la generación de este conocimiento...
Objective: To describe the epidemiological dynamics of hospitalizations for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a military hospital. Material and Methods: Retrospective observational study of hospitalizations for COPD in a level III-1 military Hospital of Lima-Peru. The analyzed period was from January 1991 to December 2013. The data analysis was performed using STATA V12.1 and ms EXCEL 2013. Results: 1350 medical discharged patients with COPD were registered representing 1.14% of all medical discharges IC95% (0.10% - 1.20%); 58.15% of the patients were males (p=0.001), the average age was 74 years IC95% (73 - 75 years old), (P=0.001), the average hospital stay was 11.3 days IC95% (10.6 - 11.9 days), (P=0.001). Regarding the patient type, according to their status in the hospital 31.41% (424/1350) were military servers and represented 1.32% of all hospitalizations in this population. The COPD mortality was 3.93% IC95% (2.95% - 5.10%) which was higher than our hospital mortality rate from all causes (2.81%). This was statistically significant (p=0.012) odds ratio (OR) 1.4 IC95 % (1.05 - 1.87). Conclusion: The epidemiological profile of the COPD patient hospitalization in our hospital is a male patient, with an average age of more than 65 years, with an average length stay of hospitalizated of 11 days, with a 3.93% rate of mortality in the same hospitalization process. We also note that there is a gap of knowledge on hospital epidemiology of COPD in our country; our study will contribute to the generation of this knowledge...
