Loop diuretic discontinuation in chronic heart failure patients: A retrospective study.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The use of loop diuretics is central in managing congestion in heart failure (HF), but their impact on prognosis remains unclear. In euvolemic patients, dose reduction is recommended, but there is no recommendation on their discontinuation. This study aims to assess the impact of loop diuretic discontinuation on the prognosis of outpatients with HF with reduced ejection fraction. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study collected data from medical records of patients followed in an outpatient HF clinic at a university hospital center. Patients were included if they had been on loop diuretics and these were discontinued. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected, and number and type of congestive events during the one-year period after discontinuation were recorded. RESULTS: Among 265 patients on loop diuretics, almost half (129) discontinued them at some point. Patients had optimized medical therapy, low median age, low New York Heart Association class, low B-type natriuretic peptide values, normal blood pressure, controlled heart rate and kidney function within normal limits. Among 122 patients with one year of follow-up, 18 (14.8%) had a congestive event. Fifteen events (83.3%) were low-dose diuretic reinitiation at a scheduled visit. There were only three worsening heart failure events (2.5%) during the one-year period. A significant improvement in kidney function from discontinuation to the one-year follow-up appointment was also observed. CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort, loop diuretic discontinuation was possible and safe in a large proportion of patients. The results should be interpreted with caution and cannot be extrapolated to a broader population of HF patients.

Padrão de Atividade Física "Guerreiros de Fim de Semana": Risco ou Benefício para a Saúde? / "Weekend Warriors" Physical Activity Pattern: Health Risk or Benefit?

A vida frenética, principalmente nos grandes centros urbanos, dificulta, para algumas pessoas, a realização de atividade física de forma regular (3-5 vezes por semana). Todavia, a possibilidade de realizar essas atividades em um ou dois dias da semana pode ser uma alternativa bastante interessante, uma vez que este padrão de atividade física tem sido associado a menor mortalidade por todas as causas, cardiovasculares e câncer. Nesta breve revisão narrativa, abordaremos os principais estudos científicos sobre os "Guerreiros de Fim de Semana" e sua relação com os benefícios e riscos à saúde. Certamente, a incorporação desse padrão de atividade física nas recomendações e orientações futuras promoverá melhora das condições de saúde e auxiliará o poder público a adequar as estratégias de combate ao sedentarismo.

Elemental diet preventative effects for adverse events during chemotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: The effectiveness of an elemental diet (ED) for preventing adverse events (AEs) during chemotherapy for patients with esophageal cancer (EC) remains unclear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to comprehensively assess the efficacy of ED for preventing AE in EC patients during chemotherapy. Medline (via PubMed), Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched to retrieve prospective and randomized studies published before April 12, 2023. The odds ratio (OR) of each AE was calculated using Review Manger 5.4.1. The risk of bias was assessed, and a random effect model-based meta-analysis was used to analyze the available data. Four prospective and randomized studies involving 237 patients were identified after a systematic search. Regarding gastrointestinal toxicities, the findings indicated a trend toward a decrease in the risk of mucositis (OM) (OR = 0.54, 95 % CI: 0.25-1.14), constipation (OR = 0.87, 95 % CI: 0.49-1.53), and anorexia (OR = 0.99, 95 % CI: 0.32-3.05), as well as an increasing trend in the risk of diarrhea (OR = 1.48, 95 % CI: 0.79-2.79), among patients treated with ED. However, none of these reached statistical significance. For hematological toxicities, the risk of all-grade neutropenia (OR = 0.28, 95 % CI: 0.14-0.57), grade ≥ 2 leucopenia (OR = 0.43, 95 % CI: 0.22-0.84), grade ≥ 2 neutropenia (OR = 0.34, 95 % CI: 0.17-0.67), and grade ≥ 3 neutropenia (OR = 0.28, 95 % CI: 0.12-0.63) was significantly decreased. There is no firm evidence confirming the preventive effect of an ED against OM or diarrhea. However, an ED may potentially be helpful in preventing neutropenia and leucopenia.

Introducción: La efectividad de una dieta elemental (DE) para prevenir eventos adversos (EA) durante la quimioterapia en pacientes con cáncer de esófago (CE) sigue sin estar clara. Este metaanálisis evalúa la eficacia de DE para prevenir EA en pacientes con CE durante quimioterapia. Se realizaron búsquedas en Medline (con PubMed), Embase, Biblioteca Cochrane y Web of Science para recuperar estudios prospectivos y aleatorios publicados antes del 12/04/2023. La razón de probabilidad (RP) de cada EA se calculó usando Review Manger 5.4.1. Se evaluó el riesgo de sesgo y se utilizó un metaanálisis basado en modelo de efectos aleatorios para analizar los datos disponibles. Después de una búsqueda sistemática, se identificaron cuatro estudios prospectivos y aleatorios con 237 pacientes. En cuanto a las toxicidades gastrointestinales, los hallazgos indicaron una tendencia hacia una disminución en el riesgo de mucositis (OM) (OR = 0,54, IC 95 %: 0,25-1,14), estreñimiento (OR = 0,87, IC 95 %: 0,49-1,53) y anorexia (OR = 0,99, IC 95 %: 0,32-3,05) y una tendencia creciente en el riesgo de diarrea (OR = 1,48, IC 95 %: 0,79-2,79) entre los pacientes tratados con DE. Sin embargo, no hubo muestras estadísticas significativas. Para toxicidades hematológicas, el riesgo de neutropenia de todos los grados (RP = 0,28; IC del 95 %: 0,14-0,57), leucopenia grado ≥ 2 (RP = 0,43; IC del 95 %: 0,22-0,84), neutropenia grado ≥ 2 (RP = 0,34; IC del 95 %: 0,17-0,67) y neutropenia grado ≥ 3 (RP = 0,28; IC del 95 %: 0,12-0,63) disminuyó significativamente. Ninguna evidencia firme confirmó el efecto preventivo de DE frente a OM o la diarrea. Una DE sería útil previniendo neutropenia y leucopenia.

Adverse cardiovascular, obstetric and perinatal events during pregnancy and puerperium in patients with heart disease.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: cardiovascular changes during pregnancy carry greater risk in heart disease. We analyze cardiovascular, obstetric and perinatal adverse effects associated with congenital and acquired heart disease during pregnancy and postpartum. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional and retrospective study, which included the 2017-2023 registry of pregnant or postpartum patients hospitalised with diagnosis of congenital or acquired heart disease. Adverse events (heart failure, stroke, acute pulmonary edema, maternal death, obstetric haemorrhage, prematurity and perinatal death) were compared with the clinical variables and the implemented treatment. RESULTS: 112 patients with a median age of 28 years (range 15-44) were included. Short circuits predominated 28 (25%). Thirty-six patients (32%) were classified in class IV of the modified WHO scale for maternal cardiovascular risk. Heart failure occurred in 39 (34.8%), acute lung edema 12 (10.7%), stroke 2 (1.8%), maternal death 5 (4.5%), obstetric haemorrhage 4 (3.6%), prematurity 50 (44.5%) and perinatal death 6 (5.4%). Shunts were associated with prematurity (adjusted odds ratio 4; 95% CI: 1.5-10, p = 0.006). Peripartum cardiomyopathy represented higher risk of pulmonary edema (adjusted OR 34; 95% CI: 6-194, p = 0.001) and heart failure (adjusted OR 16; 95% CI: 3-84, p = 0.001). An increased risk of obstetric haemorrhage was observed in patients with prosthetic valves (adjusted OR 30; 95% CI: 1.5-616, p = 0.025) and with the use of acetylsalicylic acid (adjusted OR 14; 95% CI: 1.2-16, p = 0.030). Furthermore, the latter was associated with perinatal death (adjusted OR 9; 95% CI: 1.4-68, p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS: severe complications were found during pregnancy and postpartum in patients with heart disease, which is why preconception evaluation and close surveillance are vital.

Associations of recent stressful life events with anxiety symptoms among Chinese adolescents with a consideration of family functioning.

Background: The association between stressful life events (SLEs) and adolescent anxiety symptoms has been extensively studied, but the specific impacts of different SLEs domains remain inconclusive. Moreover, limited research has examined the role of family functioning in these associations.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the associations between various recent SLEs and adolescent anxiety symptoms and explore the role of family functioning.Methods: Data were obtained from the second phase of the Longitudinal Study of Adolescents' Mental and Behavioral Well-being Research in Guangzhou, China. A total of 10,985 students (51.9% boys; mean [SD] age, 15.3 [1.5] years) from forty middle schools participated in the study in 2022 and completed a self-report questionnaire assessing anxiety symptoms, SLEs, and family functioning using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC; including five subscales: interpersonal stress, academic stress, punishment-related stress, loss-related stress, and adaptation-related stress), and the adapted Chinese version of the Family Assessment Device (FAD), respectively. Linear mixed-effects models were performed and the moderation role of family functioning was also examined.Results: The fully adjusted model revealed that a 1-SD increase in the overall ASLEC score was associated with higher levels of anxiety symptoms (ß = 2.23, 95%CI: 2.15-2.32). Among various SLEs domains, the academic domain shows the most significant association (ß = 2.25, 95%CI: 2.17-2.33). Family functioning exerted an independent protective influence on anxiety symptoms, with each 1-SD increase in FAD scores negatively associated with anxiety symptoms (ß = -2.11, 95%CI: - 2.29 to - 1.93) in the adjusted model. Moreover, family functioning significantly buffered the impacts of overall SLEs and each domain, except for adaptation-related SLEs, on anxiety symptoms.Conclusion: Higher recent SLEs levels were associated with increased anxiety symptoms among adolescents, with academic SLEs showing the greatest association. Positive family functioning had both direct and buffering influences on anxiety symptoms.

Higher levels of recent stressful life events may increase adolescents' anxiety symptoms.Academic stressful life events show the greatest association with anxiety symptoms.Family functioning may be a promising intervention target for adolescent anxiety symptoms.

¿Cómo y Cuánto se Mueven los Adultos que sufrieron un Evento Coronario un Año después de haber entrado a un Programa de Rehabilitación Cardiaca? / How and How Much Do Adults Who Suffered a Coronary Event Move One Year After Entering a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program?

Introducción. Establecer un estilo de vida activo y saludable es uno de los objetivos más importantes y desafiantes de la rehabilitación cardíaca. Comprender el comportamiento de los patrones de actividad física (AF) en adultos que han sufrido un evento coronario y que han participado en un programa de Rehabilitación Cardíaca (RC) es necesario para evaluar su impacto y proponer estrategias oportunas en esta área. Objetivo. Evaluar el cumplimiento de la recomendación global de AF 1 año después de ingresar a un programa de RC para enfermedad arterial coronaria. Métodos. Se aplicó el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física a adultos con enfermedad coronaria tratada a los 6 y 12 meses de su ingreso a un programa de Rehabilitación Cardíaca en 6 hospitales de Chile, entre mayo de 2019 y febrero de 2020 en el contexto del estudio aleatorizado. Se realizó un ensayo clínico multicéntrico de no inferioridad (Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Trial, HYCARET). Resultados. 117 participantes (74 hombres, edad 59,34 ±9,52 años, 83,4±27,2% de adherencia a la RC) físicamente activos al final de un programa de RC fueron evaluados a los 6 y 12 meses desde el ingreso para determinar su adherencia a la AF. La tasa de seguimiento fue del 94,01% a los 6 meses (6m) y del 78,63% a los 12 meses (12m). El 90% de los participantes seguían físicamente activos a los 6 meses y el 92,39% seguían activos a los 12 meses después del evento coronario. Un 5,98% fueron clasificados como inactivos a los 6 m pero estaban físicamente activos al año. En contraste, sólo el 0,85% se volvió inactivo a los 6 meses y permaneció inactivo hasta 1 año, mientras que el 4,27% se reportó como activo a los 6 meses, pero terminó estando inactivo al año. La AF relacionada con las tareas del hogar es responsable del 40% y más del gasto calórico total de los adultos después de un evento coronario en todo momento. El gasto calórico relacionado con actividades recreativas y transporte disminuyó a los 6 y 12 meses, mientras que el gasto calórico asociado con el trabajo y las actividades domésticas aumentó a los 6 y 12 meses después de completar un programa de RC. Conclusión. Los adultos que completan un programa de RC continúan activos 6 y 12 meses después de un evento coronario. Sin embargo, las actividades que generan mayor gasto calórico varían con el tiempo. Este hallazgo resalta la importancia de fomentar la actividad física como parte del tiempo de ocio y recreación en los adultos, ya que se sabe que su beneficio es mayor.

Background. Establishing a healthy, active lifestyle is one of the most important and challenging goals of cardiac rehabilitation. Understanding the behavior of physical activity (PA) patterns in adults who have suffered a coronary event and who have participated in a Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) program is necessary to evaluate its impact and propose timely strategies in this area. Objetive. To evaluate compliance with the global PA recommendation 1 year after entering a CR program for coronary artery disease. Methods. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was applied to adults with coronary heart disease treated 6 and 12 months after admission to a Cardiac Rehabilitation program in 6 hospitals in Chile, between May 2019 and February 2020 in the context of the randomized study. A multicenter non-inferiority clinical trial (Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Trial, HYCARET) was conducted. Results. 117 participants (74 men, age 59.34 ± 9.52 years, 83.4 ± 27.2% adherence to CR) physically active at the end of a CR program were evaluated at 6 and 12 months from entry. to determine their adherence to PA. The follow-up rate was 94.01% at 6 months (6m) and 78.63% at 12 months (12m). 90% of participants were still physically active at 6 months and 92.39% were still active at 12 months after the coronary event. 5.98% were classified as inactive at 6 m but were physically active at one year. In contrast, only 0.85% became inactive at 6 months and remained inactive for up to 1 year, while 4.27% reported themselves as active at 6 months but ended up being inactive at one year. Housework-related PA is responsible for 40% and more of adults' total caloric expenditure after a coronary event at all times. Caloric expenditure related to recreational activities and transportation decreased at 6 and 12 months, while caloric expenditure associated with work and home activities increased at 6 and 12 months after completing a CR program. Conclusion. Adults who complete a CR program remain active 6 and 12 months after a coronary event. However, the activities that generate the greatest caloric expenditure vary over time. This finding highlights the importance of promoting physical activity as part of leisure and recreation time in adults, since it is known that its benefit is greater.

Cardiovascular event in a cohort of rheumatoid arthritis patients in Castilla-La Mancha: Utility of carotid ultrasound.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) has a mortality rate 1,3 to 3 times higher than the general population, with cardiovascular mortality accounting for 40-50% of cases. Currently, cardiovascular disease is considered an extraarticular manifestation of RA (OR: 1,5-4,0). Ultrasound measurement of the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery and the presence of atherosclerotic plaques (AP) is a non-invasive method and a surrogate marker of subclinical arteriosclerosis. OBJECTIVE: To determine if subclinical arteriosclerosis findings through carotid ultrasound can serve as a good predictor of cardiovascular events (CVE) development in a cohort of RA patients over a 10-year period. METHODOLOGY: A cohort of RA patients seen in the Rheumatology outpatient clinic of a hospital in Castilla La Mancha in 2013 was evaluated. A prospective evaluation for the development of CVE over the following 10 years was conducted, and its correlation with previous ultrasound findings of IMT and AP was analyzed. RESULTS: Eight (24%) patients experienced a CVE. Three (9%) had heart failure, three (9%) had a stroke, and two (6%) experienced acute myocardial infarction. RA patients who developed a CVE had a higher IMT (0,97 +/- 0.08 mm) compared to the RA patients without CV complications (0,74 +/- 0.15 mm) (p = 0,003). The presence of IMT ≥ 0.9 mm and AP had a relative risk of 12,25 (p = 0,012) and 18,66 (p = 0,003), respectively, for the development of a CVE. CONCLUSIONS: Carotid ultrasound in RA patients may allow for early detection of subclinical atherosclerosis before the development of CVE, with IMT ≥ 0.9 mm being the most closely associated finding with CVE, unaffected by age.

Evento cardiovascular en una cohorte de pacientes con artritis reumatoide en Castilla-La Mancha, utilidad de la ecografía carotídea / Cardiovascular event in a cohort of rheumatoid arthritis patients in Castilla-La Mancha: Utility of carotid ultrasound

La artritis reumatoide (AR) presenta una mortalidad de 1,3-3 veces superior a la población general donde destaca la mortalidad de origen cardiovascular con un 40-50%. Actualmente se considera la enfermedad cardiovascular como una manifestación extraarticular de la AR, siendo un factor de riesgo independiente de los tradicionales, con un riesgo elevado de enfermedad cardiovascular (OR: 1,5-4,0). La medición ecográfica del grosor íntimo medial (GIM) de la arteria carótida común y la presencia de placas ateromatosas es un método no invasivo y marcador subrogado de arterioesclerosis subclínica. Objetivo: Establecer si los hallazgos de arterioesclerosis subclínica por ecografía carotídea pueden ser un buen predictor del desarrollo de eventos cardiovasculares (ECV) en una cohorte de pacientes con AR a 10 años. Metodología: Se evaluó una cohorte de pacientes con AR atendidos en consulta externa de Reumatología de una hospital de Castilla-La Mancha durante el año 2013. Se realizó una evaluación para el desarrollo de ECV a los 10 años siguientes de comenzado el estudio y se analizó su correlación con los hallazgos ecográficos previos de GIM y placas ateromatosas. Resultados: Ocho (24%) pacientes presentaron un ECV. Tres (9%), episodio de fallo cardiaco; 3 (9%) accidente cerebrovascular y 2 (6%) episodio de infarto agudo al miocardio. Los pacientes con AR que desarrollaron un ECV habían presentado un GIM mayor (0,97±0,08mm) en comparación con los pacientes con AR que no tuvieron complicaciones cardiovasculares (0,74±0,15mm) (p=0,003). La presencia de un GIM≥0,9mm y placas ateromatosas representó un riesgo relativo de 12,25 (p=0,012) y 18,66 (p=0,003), respectivamente, para el desarrollo de un ECV. Conclusiones: La ecografía carotídea en pacientes con AR nos podría permitir la detección precoz de aterosclerosis subclínica antes del desarrollo de ECV, siendo fundamentalmente el GIM≥0,9mm el hallazgo más asociado a ECV y no influenciado por la edad.(AU)

The presence of IMT≥0.9mm and atherosclerotic plaques had a relative risk of 12.25 (P=.012) and 18.66 (P=.003), respectively, for the development of a CVE. Conclusions: Carotid ultrasound in RA patients may allow for early detection of subclinical atherosclerosis before the development of CVE, with IMT≥0.9mm being the most closely associated finding with CVE, unaffected by age.(AU)

Enfermedad cardiovascular previa y posterior a la infección por COVID-19. Supervivencia a un año / Cardiovascular disease before and after COVID-19 infection: One-year survival

Objetivos Analizar el riesgo de COVID-19 con relación a la morbilidad previa, así como el riesgo de nuevos eventos cardiovasculares (ECV) en pacientes COVID-19 y la supervivencia a un año. Metodología Estudio casos-control y estudio de cohortes prospectivo. Se incluyeron 275 pacientes aleatorizados >18 años diagnosticados de COVID-19 y se aparearon con 825 COVID-19 negativos por edad y sexo (proporción 1:3). Las variables principales fueron diagnóstico de COVID-19 y eventos post-COVID-19. Se estudiaron variables sociodemográficas, comorbilidad y ECV previo. Se realizaron sendos modelos predictivos de factores asociados al desarrollo de COVID-19 y de ECV post-COVID-19, así como un análisis de supervivencia a un año. Resultados Los varones con ECV previo duplican el riesgo de padecer COVID-19 (odds ratio [OR] 2,11; intervalo de confianza [IC] 95% 1,32–3,36). En las mujeres el riesgo aumenta con la edad (OR 1,01; IC 95% 1,00–1,02), la diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR 1,90; IC 95% 1,14–3,17) y el deterioro cognitivo (OR 4,88; IC 95% 2,50–9,53). La inmunosupresión actúa como factor protector en ambos sexos. La edad (OR 1,02; IC 95% 1,00–1,04), hipertensión arterial (HTA) (OR 2,21; IC 95% 1,17–4,17), la infección COVID-19 (OR 4,81; IC 95% 2,89–7,98) y el ECV previo (OR 4,46; IC 95% 2,56–7,75) predicen el desarrollo de un nuevo ECV post-COVID-19. Los pacientes COVID-19 positivos tienen menor supervivencia (mediana de siete vs. 184 días). Conclusiones El ECV previo en varones y la DM junto al deterioro cognitivo en mujeres aumentan el riesgo de presentar COVID-19. La edad, HTA, ECV previo y la infección COVID-19 predicen la aparición de un ECV (AU)

Aim To analyze the risk of COVID-19 in relation to previous morbidity; to analyze the risk of new cardiovascular events (CVE) in COVID-19 patients and one-year survival. Methodology Case–control study and prospective cohort study. Two hundred and seventy-five randomized patients >18 years old with COVID-19 were included and matched with 825 without COVID-19 by age and sex (ratio 1:3). The main variables were diagnosis of COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 events. Sociodemographic variables, comorbidity, and previous CVD were studied. Two predictive models of factors associated with the development of COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 CVE were performed, as well as a one-year survival analysis. Results Men with a previous CVE double the risk of suffering from COVID-19 (OR 2.11; 95% CI: 1.32–3.36). In women, the risk increases with age (OR 1.01; 95% CI: 1.00–1.02), diabetes (DM) (OR 1.90; 95% CI: 1.14–3.17) and cognitive impairment (OR 4.88; 95% CI: 2.50–9.53). Immunosuppression acts as a protective factor in both sexes. Age (OR 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00–1.04), arterial hypertension (OR 2.21; 95% CI: 1.17–4.17), COVID-19 infection (OR 4.81; 95% CI: 2.89–7.98) and previous CVE (OR 4.46; 95% CI: 2.56–7.75) predict the development of a new post-COVID-19 CVE. Positive COVID-19 has lower survival (median 7 days vs. 184 days). Conclusions Previous CVE in men and DM along with cognitive impairment in women increase the risk of presenting COVID-19. Age, arterial hypertension, previous CVE, and COVID-19 infection predict the appearance of new CVE (AU)

Factores asociados con caídas de pacientes y su relación con la valoración de riesgo / Patient fall risk factors and their relationship with fall risk assessment

Introducción: la seguridad como atributo de la calidad de atención incluye las actividades orientadas a reducir o mitigar un evento adverso. Las caídas intrahospitalarias son un problema grave y una de las principales causas de lesiones, incapacidad e incluso muerte. El profesional de la salud debe realizar la valoración del riesgo del paciente, determinando la probabilidad de sufrir una caída según sus condiciones individuales. Objetivo: describir los factores asociados con caídas de pacientes en el Hospital de San José de Bogotá y su relación con la valoración del riesgo en el período 2018. Metodología: estudio descriptivo de corte transversal de 90 historias clínicas de pacientes adultos que presentaron este evento adverso. Las variables cuantitativas se reportan como frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Según la Resolución 8430 de 1993 del Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social de Colombia, este estudio se clasifica sin riesgo. Resultados: la edad promedio fue 55 años, 81% estaban clasificados de bajo riesgo, 21% alto, siendo 51% de las valoraciones acorde con la situación del paciente; 38% de las caídas ocurrieron en el baño y con mayor frecuencia (43%) en el turno de la mañana, 27% requirió exámenes adicionales y 12% aumentó la estancia hospitalaria. Conclusión: las caídas constituyen un fenómeno frecuente independiente de la causa de hospitalización, por lo que la "clasificación del riesgo" exige evaluación permanente para conocer los factores predisponentes e intervenir en las causas para mejorar los resultados en salud y favorecer el aprendizaje organizacional.

Introduction: patient safety, as an attribute of quality care, includes actions aimed at reducing or mitigating an adverse event. In-hospital falls are a serious problem and a leading cause of injury, disability, and even death. Patients should be evaluated for fall risk by the healthcare provider, to determine their likelihood of falling, consonantly with their individual features. Objective: to describe patient fall risk factors at Hospital de San José in Bogotá and their relationship to fall risk assessment during 2018. Methodology: a descriptive cross-sectional study including 90 adult patients in whom this adverse event was reported in their medical records. Quantitative variables were reported as absolute and relative frequencies. This study was classified as non-risk in accordance with Resolution 8430 of 1993 issued by the Colombian Ministry of Health and Social Protection. Results: the mean age of participants was 55 years, 81% were classified as low risk, 21% as high risk, and in 51% risk assessment correlated with their comorbid conditions; 38% of falls occurred in the bathroom, most of them (43%) in the morning shift, 27% required further scrutiny and 12% were associated with prolonged hospitalization. Conclusion: patient falls are a common event, regardless of the reason for hospitalization, thus, "risk classification" requires permanent evaluation to identify predisposing factors and the implementation of proper interventions to improve health outcomes and promote organizational learning.

Festival quality, value, and sports environment affecting students' satisfaction and loyalty: basis for continuous extra-curricular activity offering / Qualidade, valor e ambiente esportivo do festival afetam a satisfação e a fidelidade dos alunos: base para oferta continuada de atividades extracurriculares

RESUMO Eventos extracurriculares como o festival desportivo, onde os alunos podem demonstrar as suas competências desportivas e recreativas organizadas, são essenciais no ensino superior. Os alunos também podem desenvolver liderança, camaradagem e espírito esportivo enquanto competem em cada jogo. Os festivais esportivos incentivam os alunos a serem ativos e saudáveis ​​por meio de jogos. Este estudo examinou as percepções dos alunos sobre qualidade, valor e ambiente esportivo, o que afeta sua satisfação e lealdade às atividades extracurriculares. Mais importante ainda, o estudo ajudará o departamento e a administração a decidir se os festivais desportivos podem ser realizados regularmente para melhorar a cultura física do campus. Os entrevistados deste estudo são alunos de uma faculdade local que participaram do recente Festival Esportivo realizado pelos alunos e pelo departamento. A Pesquisa de Satisfação do Festival (FSS) foi modificada para atender ao estudo atual, eliminando o aspecto do souvenir. Além disso, o Youth Sport Environment Questionnaire (YSEQ) foi utilizado para incluir os dois componentes da primeira medida como construções extras. Uma ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis H unidirecional foi realizada para investigar diferenças de FS e FL com base na demografia. A análise de Spearman Rho descreveu relações variáveis. Por fim, utilizou-se regressão múltipla para avaliar se o QVSE influencia a satisfação e a lealdade. Com base nos resultados, a satisfação e a lealdade do festival não diferiram entre os grupos (excluindo o grupo do ano). Além disso, o QVSE tem uma relação significativa com FS e FL. Por último, o QVSE tem influência direta sobre FS e FL. Para proporcionar aos alunos uma experiência significativa e desenvolver e preservar a cultura física do campus, o departamento e a administração podem oferecer regularmente atividades como o festival esportivo.

ABSTRACT Extracurricular events like the sports festival, where students can demonstrate their skills in organized sports and recreation, are essential in higher education. Students can also develop leadership, camaraderie, and sportsmanship while competing in each game. Sports festivals encourage students to be active and healthy through games. This study examined students' perceptions of quality, value, and sports environment, which affects their satisfaction and loyalty to extracurricular activities. Most importantly, the study will help the department and administration decide if sports festivals can be held regularly to enhance campus physical culture. The respondents for this study are students from a local college who participated in the recent Sports Festival conducted by the students and department. The Festival Satisfaction Survey (FSS) was modified to meet the current study by eliminating the souvenir aspect. Additionally, the Youth Sport Environment Questionnaire (YSEQ) was employed to include the two components in the former measure as extra constructs. A one-way ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis H was performed to investigate FS and FL differences based on demographics. Spearman Rho's analysis described variable relationships. Finally, multiple regression was used to assess if QVSE influence satisfaction and loyalty. Based on the findings, festival satisfaction and loyalty did not differ between groups (excluding year level group). Also, QVSE has a significant relationship with FS and FL. Lastly, QVSE has a direct influence on FS and FL. To give students a meaningful experience and develop and preserve campus physical culture, the department and administration may regularly offer activities like the sports festival.

Detección de eventos adversos en pacientes internados en clínica médica utilizando la herramienta Global Trigger Tool / Detection of adverse events in patients interned in medical clinic using the Global Trigger Tool

Resumen Introducción : El Global Trigger Tool (GTT) es una herramienta que identifica con precisión los eventos adversos, estos representan un problema relevante y prevenible en los hospitales. Métodos : Estudio de corte transversal basado en la revisión retrospectiva de historias clínicas aleatorizadas utilizando el GTT. Resultados : Se detectaron 161 eventos adversos (EA): 51 por cada 100 admisiones, 66 por cada 1000 días pa ciente y 30% de admisiones con EA. Los disparadores más frecuentes fueron del módulo cuidados, 25% com plicaciones asociadas al uso de procedimientos, 10% úlceras por presión y 9% infecciones asociadas a la atención. La presencia de EA tuvo asociación estadís ticamente significativa con estancia mayor a 5 días, y asociación moderada con edad y número de disparado res. En cuanto al daño, 78% de los pacientes presentaron eventos leves y 4% eventos fatales. En el análisis con cur vas ROC, los disparadores con mayor área bajo la curva fueron: complicación de procedimientos (0.70), úlceras por presión (0.61) y código de respuesta rápida (0.60). Discusión : Los eventos por 100 admisiones fueron superiores a la bibliografía pero no hubo diferencias en eventos por cada 1000 días paciente. Los casos fatales se produjeron por enfermedades infecciosas respiratorias en pacientes con comorbilidades, necesidad de sonda nasogástrica y deterioro cognitivo. Se destaca la escasa aplicación de la herramienta en hospitales públicos, y la implementación de análisis de disparadores con cur vas ROC. Conocer la frecuencia y el tipo de evento más frecuente permitirá implementar medidas que mejoren la seguridad de los pacientes.

Abstract Introduction : The Global Trigger Tool (GTT) is a tool that accurately identifies adverse events that represent a significant problem in hospitals. Methods : Cross-sectional study based on retrospec tive review of randomized medical records using the GTT tool. Results : A total of 161 adverse events (AEs) were detected: 51 events per 100 admissions, 66 per 1000 patient-days, and 30% of admissions with AEs. The most frequent triggers were from the care module, with 25% complications associated with the use of procedures, 10% pressure ulcers, and 9% care-associated infections. The presence of AEs had a statistically significant asso ciation with a stay of more than 5 days, and a moderate association with age and number of triggers. Regarding the damage, 78% of the patients presented mild events and 4% fatal events. The ROC curves analysis showed that the triggers with the greatest area under the curve were: procedural complication (0.70), pressure ulcers (0.61) and rapid response code (0.60). Discussion : The number of events per 100 admis sions was higher than that reported in the literature, but there were no differences in events per 1000 patient-days. Fatal cases were caused by respiratory infectious diseases in patients with comorbidities, nasogastric tube needs and cognitive decline. The study highlights the scarce use of the tool in public hospitals and the implementation of trigger analysis with ROC curves. Knowing the frequency and the most frequent type of event will allow the implementation of measures that improve patient safety.

Relación entre las variantes genéticas UGT y HLA y eventos adversos asociados al uso de lamotrigina. Revisión sistemática

Introducción: La lamotrigina (LTG) es un fármaco antiepiléptico aromático, en los humanos se usa principalmente en el campo de la neurología y psiquiatría. Existen eventos adversos (EA), secundarios al uso de anticonvulsivantes, por ejemplo, la necrólisis epidérmica tóxica (NET), y el síndrome de Steven Johnson (SSJ), su incidencia está estimada en 1 de 1000 a 10000 exposiciones con una mortalidad mayor al 35 %. Objetivo: Describir la relación entre la presentación de eventos adversos y los polimorfismos de la UGT y HLA en pacientes que usaron lamotrigina. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura, incluyendo una búsqueda en las bases de datos, con estudios del tipo ensayos clínicos controlados aleatorizados y estudios observacionales de cohortes, casos y controles. Resultados: La búsqueda inicial encontró un total de 96 artículos, de los cuales luego de aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión quedaron 8. Conclusiones: Al momento del desarrollo de este estudio, no hay suficiente evidencia que relacione como factor de causalidad las variantes de las HLA y UGT con la predicción de los eventos adversos (EA), con el uso de lamotrigina. Además, es importante decir que en Colombia no tenemos estudios, y que no conocemos estas variantes genéticas por lo tanto la extrapolación no se puede realizar, llevando a recomendar que se deben hacer estudios en población colombiana con las variantes planteadas como posibles relacionadas con los EA a lamotrigina.

Introduction: Lamotrigine (LTG) is an aromatic antiepileptic drug, mainly used in humans in the field of neurology and psychiatry. There are secondary adverse events (AEs) related to the use of anticonvulsants, for example, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Steven Johnson syndrome (SJS). Their incidence is estimated at 1 in 1,000 to 10,000 exposures with a mortality greater than 35%. Objective: To describe the relationship between the presentation of adverse events and UGT and HLA polymorphisms in patients who used lamotrigine. Methodology: A systematic review of the literature was carried out, including a database search, with studies such as randomized controlled clinical trials and observational cohort and case-control studies. Results: The initial search found a total of 96 articles. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 8 were considered. Conclusions: At the time of the development of this study, there was not enough evidence to relate HLA and UGT variants as a causal factor to predict adverse events (AEs) due to the use of lamotrigine. Furthermore, it is important to say that in Colombia there are no studies, and that we do not know these genetic variants, therefore it is not possible to extrapolate it. Thus the recommendation is that studies should be carried out in the Colombian population using variants proposed as possibly relating AEs. to lamotrigine.

Um raro caso de vasculite leucocitoclástica induzida por oxacilina / A rare case of oxacillin-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis

A vasculite leucocitoclástica é uma patologia cujos mecanismos estão associados ao processo de inflamação vascular. Estima-se que até 24% dos casos de vasculite estão relacionados ao uso de fármacos, sendo os antimicrobianos beta-lactâmicos um dos grupos farmacológicos comumente associados a este desfecho adverso. A oxacilina, uma penicilina semissintética, possui um anel beta-lactâmico que confere atividade biológica e está associada com maior frequência a relatos de vasculite leucocitoclástica. No entanto, casos semelhantes relacionados a esse antimicrobiano são raros, sendo identificados apenas três casos na literatura. Diante desse contexto, relatamos um quarto caso de vasculite leucocitoclástica em um homem de 56 anos, em tratamento com oxacilina, que desenvolveu a vasculite no 3º dia de uso do antimicrobiano. Além da suspensão da oxacilina, ele foi tratado com 125 mg/dia de metilprednisolona endovenosa por sete dias, seguido de 20 mg/dia de prednisona oral por quatro dias, resultan-do em remissão satisfatória das lesões cutâneas e ausência de novos desfechos adversos. Este caso corrobora a possível relação causal entre o uso de oxacilina e o desenvolvimento da vasculite leucocitoclástica, apesar de sua ocorrência ser rara. A resposta favorável às intervenções terapêuticas, incluindo a suspensão da oxacilina e o uso de corticosteroides, destaca a eficácia dessas abordagens no tratamento dessa complicação (AU).

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a pathology whose mechanisms are associated with the process of vascular inflammation. It is estimated that up to 24% of the cases of vasculitis are drug-related, with beta-lactam antimicrobials be-ing one of the pharmacological groups commonly associated with this adverse outcome. Oxacillin, a semisynthetic penicillin, has a beta-lactam ring that confers biological activity and is most frequently associated with reports of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. However, similar cases related to this antimicrobial are rare, with only three cases identified in the literature. Against this background, we report a fourth case of leukocytoclastic vasculitis in a 56-year-old man, on oxacillin treatment, who developed the vasculitis on the 3rd day of antimicrobial use. In addition to oxacillin suspension, he was treated with 125 mg/day of intravenous methylprednisolone for seven days, followed by 20 mg/day of oral prednisone for four days, resulting in satisfactory remission of the skin lesions and no new adverse outcomes. This case provides further evidence supporting the potential causal relationship between the use of oxacillin and the development of leukocytoclastic vasculitis, albeit a rare occurrence. The positive response to therapeutic interventions, such as oxacillin suspension and corticosteroid treatment, underscores the effectiveness of these approaches in addressing this complication (AU),

Managerial Decision-Making of Nurses in Hospitals: creation and validation of a simulation scenario / Tomada de Decisão Gerencial do Enfermeiro da Área Hospitalar: construção e validação de cenário de simulação / Toma de Decisiones Gerenciales del Enfermero en el Área Hospitalaria: construcción y validación de un escenario de simulación

Abstract Objective: to build and validate a clinical simulation scenario on hospital nurse managerial decision-making competence for undergraduate nursing students. Method: a descriptive and methodological study was carried out in a higher education institution, with the participation of 10 judges and five players. To do so, the conceptual simulation model proposed by Jeffries and standards of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning were used to prepare the scenario and the checklist. Results: the scenario was called "Managerial decision-making of nurses in the face of adverse events in a hospital". The scenario script and checklist were built for validation. The checklist was face- and content-validated. Afterward, judges used the checklist to validate the scenario, which, in its final version, was composed of Prebriefing (seven items), Scenario in Action (18 items) and Debriefing (seven items). Conclusion: the scenario proved to be a teaching strategy that anticipates the reality of future nurses, bringing them the self-confidence to perform their activities and helping them to act critically and reflectively during decision-making processes.

Segunda victima: experiencia y medidas de apoyo percibidas por los profesionales sanitarios / Second victim experience and support from health prof fessionals

Resumen Introducción : Las segundas víctimas son aquellos profesionales que, ante un error, quedan traumatizados, cuestionándose sus habilidades profesionales y perso nales. El conocimiento de su experiencia permite a las instituciones entender las consecuencias del error en los profesionales para realizar acciones de atención a los profesionales involucrados mejorando la seguridad de atención. El objetivo de este estudio es caracterizar el fenómeno de segundas víctimas y conocer las medidas de apoyo percibidas. Métodos : Estudio cuantitativo observacional descrip tivo transversal. Participaron profesionales de la salud de cinco instituciones de alta complejidad a través de un muestreo por conveniencia. El instrumento de recogida de datos fue el Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST) validado en Argentina, compuesta por dimen siones de impacto (psicológico, físico y de habilidades profesionales) de apoyo recibido (colegas, supervisores, institucional y medidas no relacionadas al ámbito la boral) y dos dimensiones de resultado (abandono pro fesional y ausentismo). Resultados : Participaron 1134 profesionales. El 56% manifestó haber cometido un error y completó el SVEST. La media del SVEST fue de 2.5 predominando la dimen sión de impacto psicológico (x = 3.4). Como parte de las medidas de apoyo los profesionales percibieron mayor apoyo en familiares y amigos (x = 3.1). A mayor impacto menor percepción de las medidas de apoyo (Rho: -0.8, p = 0.047). Discusión : Más de la mitad de los profesionales re fieren ser segundas víctimas con un impacto psicológico importante, los cuales, a pesar de trabajar en institu ciones que cuentan con protocolos de seguridad del paciente, reciben el apoyo principalmente de entornos no relacionados al trabajo.

Abstract Introduction : The second victims are those profes sionals who, when faced with a mistake, are traumati zed, questioning their professional and personal skills. Knowledge of their experience allows institutions to understand the consequences of error in professionals to carry out care actions for the professionals involved, improving care security. The objective of this study is to characterize the phenomenon of second victims and to know the perceived support measures. Method : Cross-sectional descriptive observational quantitative study. Health professionals from five highly complex institutions participated through convenience sampling. The data collection instrument was the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST) validated in Argentina, composed of impact dimensions (psychologi cal, physical and professional skills) of support received (colleagues, supervisors, institutional and measures not related to the workplace) and two outcome dimensions (professional abandonment and absenteeism). Results : 1134 professionals participated and 56% said they had made a mistake. The mean STEVS was 2.5, with the psychological impact dimension predominating (x = 3.4). As part of the support measures, professionals perceived greater support from family and friends (not re lated to work) (x = 3.1). The greater the impact, the lower the perception of support measures (Rho: -0.8, p = 0.047). Discussion : More than half of the professionals refer to being second victim with a significant psychological impact, who, despite working in institutions that have patient safety protocols, received support from non-work-related environments.

Percepción de la cultura de seguridad del paciente en un área de críticos / Perception of the safety culture in a critical area

Introducción: El área de críticos (AC) es una de las más complejas dentro del sistema hospitalario, se requiere un elevado número de intervenciones e información, por tanto, son susceptibles de padecer más incidentes que comprometan la seguridad del paciente. Objetivo: Determinar la percepción de la cultura de seguridad del paciente del equipo asistencial en un área de críticos. Método: Estudio descriptivo transversal, septiembre de 2021, en un AC polivalente con 45 camas, 118 sanitarios (médicos, enfermeras, técnicos en cuidados auxiliares de enfermería). Se recogieron variables sociodemográficas, conocimiento del responsable en seguridad del paciente (SP), formación en SP y en el sistema de notificación de incidentes. Se utilizó el cuestionario validado Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture que evalúa 12 dimensiones. Se consideró una dimensión como fortaleza con ≥ 75% respuestas positivas y debilidad con ≥ 50% respuestas negativas. Estadística descriptiva y análisis bivariante: prueba de χ2 y t de Student, y ANOVA. Significación estadística p ≤ 0,05. Resultados: Se recogieron 94 cuestionarios (79,7% muestra). La valoración del grado de SP fue 7,1 (1,2) sobre 10. El personal polivalente la puntuó con 6,9 (1,2) vs. 7,8 (0,9) del personal sin rotación (p = 0,04); 54,3% (n = 51) conocía el procedimiento para notificar un incidente, de los cuales, 53% (n = 27) no notificó ninguno en el último año. Ninguna dimensión alcanzó grado de fortaleza. Fueron detectadas como debilidad: percepción de seguridad: 57,7% (IC 95%: 52,7-62,6), dotación de personal: 81,7% (IC 95%: 77,4-85,2) y apoyo de gerencia: 69,9% (IC 95%: 64,3-74,9)...(AU)

Introduction: Critical Care Area (CCA) is one of the most complex in the hospital system, requiring a high number of interventions and handling of amounts of information. Therefore, these areas are likely to experience more incidents that compromise patient safety (PS). Aim: To determine the perception of the healthcare team in a critical care area about the patient safety culture. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study, September 2021, in a polyvalent CCA with 45 beds, 118 health workers (physicians, nurses, auxiliary nursing care technicians). Sociodemographic variables, knowledge of the person in charge in PS and their general training in PS and incident notification system were collected. The validated Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire, measuring 12 dimensions was used. Positive responses with an average score ≥75%, were defined as an area of strength while ≥50% negative responses were defined as an area of weakness. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis: χ2 and t-Student tests, and ANOVA. Significance p ≤ 0.05. Results: 94 questionnaires were collected (79.7% sample). The PS score was 7.1 (1.2) range 1-10. The rotational staff scored the PS with 6.9 (1.2) compared to 7.8 (0.9) for non-rotational staff (p = 0.04). A 54.3% (n = 51) was familiar with the incident reporting procedure, 53% (n = 27) of which had not reported any in the last year. No dimension was defined as strength.There were three dimensions that behaved like a weakness: security perception: 57.7% (95% CI: 52.7-62.6), staffing: 81.7% (95% CI: 77.4-85.2) and management support: 69 .9% (95% CI: 64.3-74.9)...(AU)

Para além dos limites da saúde: cuidado em perspectiva interdisciplinar / Beyond the limits of health: care from an interdisciplinary perspectivea / Más allá de los límites de la salud: cuidado desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria

Este relato apresenta reflexões sobre uma experiência interdisciplinar que envolveu idealização, planejamento, organização, realização e divulgação de um evento científico virtual como requisito da disciplina Seminários Avançados de Pesquisa 1, oferecida pelo Programa de Pós-graduação em Informação e Comunicação em Saúde desenvolvido pelo Instituto de Comunicação e Informação Científica e Tecnológica em Saúde, uma das unidades técnico-científicas da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Os doutorandos da turma de 2020 promoveram o webinário "Para além dos limites da saúde: cuidado em perspectiva interdisciplinar", como parte da formação acadêmica, e este relato é produto científico daquele evento. Além do desenvolvimento de habilidades e atitudes, essa experiência representou um aprendizado pessoal, intangível e emocional do cuidado para além dos limites da saúde, e também ético sobre as "coisas negligenciadas" e acerca da força dos consensos diante de um cenário complexo marcado por uma pandemia causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, a pandemia de covid-19

This report presents reflections about an interdisciplinary experience that involved the idealization, planning, organization, implementation and dissemination of a virtual scientific event as requisite for the Seminários Avançados de Pesquisa 1 (Advanced Research Seminars 1), one of the disciplines offered by the Programa de Pós-graduação em Informação e Comunicação em Saúde (Postgraduate Program in Health Information and Communication) developed by the Instituto de Comunicação e Informação Científica e Tecnológica em Saúde (Institute of Communication and Scientific and Technological Information in Health), one of the technical-scientific units of the Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation). The students who began in 2020 their classes to obtain the PhD Degree promoted the webinar "Beyond the limits of health: care from an interdisciplinary perspective" as part of the academic education, and this report is a scientific product of that event. In addition to the development of skills and attitudes, that experience represented a personal, intangible and emotional learning of the care beyond the limits of health as well as an important ethical learning about the "neglected things" and the strength of consensus in the face of a complex scenario marked by a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2, the Covid-19 pandemic

Este relato presenta reflexiones sobre una experiencia interdisciplinar que implicó la idealización, planificación, organización, realización y difusión de un evento científico virtual como requisito de la disciplina Seminários Avançados de Pesquisa 1 (Seminarios Avanzados de Investigación 1), ofrecida por el Programa de Pós-graduação em Informação e Comunicação em Saúde (Programa de Posgrado en Información y Comunicación en Salud) desarrollado por el Instituto de Comunicação e Informação Científica e Tecnológica em Saúde (Instituto de Comunicación y Información Científica y Tecnológica en Salud), una de las unidades técnicas y científicas de la Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fundación Oswaldo Cruz). Los doctorandos del curso de 2020 promovieron el webinario "Más allá de los límites de la salud: cuidado desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria" como parte de la formación académica, y este relatoes producto científico de aquel evento. Además del desarrollo de habilidades y actitudes, esa experiencia representó un aprendizaje personal, intangible y emocional del cuidado más allá de los límites de la salud, y también un importante aprendizaje ético sobre las "cosas tratadas con negligencia" y aún acerca de la fuerza de los consensos ante un escenario complejo marcado por una pandemia provocada por el virus SARS-CoV-2, la pandemia de Covid-19
