Costo efectividad de las pruebas para estratificar riesgo en el tratamiento de la leucemia mieloide aguda (LMA) en población pediátrica

Rev. salud pública; 19 (5), 2017
RESUMEN Objetivo Estimar la razón de costo-efectividad de las pruebas para estratificación del riesgo en pacientes pediátricos con Leucemia Mieloide Aguda (LMA). Métodos Se construyó un árbol de decisión con años de vida ganados como medida de efectividad. Los costos fueron estimados desde la p...

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (10), 2017
Background: Vitamin K antagonists significantly decrease the incidence of stroke but increase the risk of bleeding. Aim: To assess the effectiveness and risk of bleeding of vitamin K antagonists in non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Material and Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 524 patients, 236 w...

Factores pronósticos en colitis ulcerosa de reciente diagnóstico

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (10), 2017
The clinical presentation of ulcerative colitis at the moment of diagnosis is variable, and its clinical course is difficult to predict. It can range from a quiescent to a refractory chronic course that may require hospitalization and surgical procedures. It can also have complications such as colorectal...

Association of vascular function and estimated cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Rev. bras. reumatol; 57 (5), 2017
Abstract Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients should receive cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment. For this purpose CV risk calculators are available. In addition, parameters of vascular function can be measured and used for risk prediction. Aim of the present study was to assess the associatio...

A comparison of three different needles used for spinal anesthesia in terms of squamous epithelial cell transport risk

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 67 (5), 2017
Abstract Background and objectives To investigate the differences in the number of squamous epithelial cells carried to the spinal canal by three different types of spinal needle tip of the same size. Methods Patients were allocated into three groups (Group I, Group II, Group III). Spinal anesthesia wa...

Off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in frail patients: study protocol for the fragile multicenter randomized controlled trial

Abstract Introduction: Advances in modern medicine have led to people living longer and healthier lives. Frailty is an emerging concept in medicine yet to be explored as a risk factor in cardiac surgery. When it comes to CABG surgery, randomized controlled clinical trials have primarily focused on low-r...

Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia Episodes Predict Future Hospitalization in ICD Recipients with Heart Failure

Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (4), 2017
Abstract Background: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy is well known to reduce mortality in selected patients with heart failure (HF). Objective: To investigate whether monitored episodes of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) might predict future HF hospitalizations in ICD ...

Pre-Frailty Increases the Risk of Adverse Events in Older Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery

Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (4), 2017
Abstract Background: Frailty is identified as a major predictor of adverse outcomes in older surgical patients. However, the outcomes in pre-frail patients after cardiovascular surgery remain unknown. Objective: To investigate the main outcomes (length of stay, mechanical ventilation time, stroke and i...

Impact of Paclitaxel-Eluting Balloons Compared to Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents for of In-Stent Restenosis in a Primarily Acute Coronary Syndrome Population

Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (4), 2017
Abstract Background: The place of drug-eluting balloons (DEB) in the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) is not well-defined, particularly in a population of all-comers with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Objective: Compare the clinical outcomes of DEB with second-generation drug-eluting stents (DE...

Causes and Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality in Patients Admitted with or for Heart Failure at a Tertiary Hospital in Brazil

Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (4), 2017
Abstract Background: Although heart failure (HF) has high morbidity and mortality, studies in Latin America on causes and predictors of in-hospital mortality are scarce. We also do not know the evolution of patients with compensated HF hospitalized for other reasons. Objective: To identify causes and p...
