Evolución de las características epidemiológicas de la tuberculosis en el Área 15 de la Comunidad Valenciana en el período 1987-2001

2005

Objetivos Valorar la evolucion de las caracteristicas epidemiologicas de la enfermedad tuberculosa (TB) en el Area 15 de la Comunidad Valenciana. Material y metodos Mediante busqueda activa se identificaron todos los casos de TB diagnosticados en el area desde enero de 1987 a diciembre de 2001. Se recogio informacion clinica y epidemiologica de la historia clinica y de la entrevista con el paciente. Resultados Se diagnosticaron 476 casos de micobacteriosis (459 TB, 16 atipicas y una mixta), de los cuales eran residentes en el area 423 casos de TB. La tasa media annual fue de 24,6/105, con un descenso del 41,5% desde 1990. Los factores de riesgo mas frecuentes fueron: tabaquismo en el 38%, e…

Noninvasive respiratory muscle aids during PEG placement in ALS patients with severe ventilatory impairment.

2010

Abstract Although no clear recommendations are given about when percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) should be placed in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients, some experts underline the risk of respiratory complications when patients had severe ventilatory muscle impairment (SVMI). Aim To evaluate the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and mechanically assisted cough (MAC) to avoid respiratory complications related to PEG placement in ALS patients with SVMI. Material and methods Prospective study including ALS patients who had chosen to have PEG placement timed by swallowing dysfunction with the aid of NIV and MAC if needed. PEG was carried out under volume-cycled NIV th…

Hypoxemia Adds to the CURB-65 Pneumonia Severity Score in Hospitalized Patients With Mild Pneumonia

2011

BACKGROUND: Hypoxemia may influence the prognosis of patients with mild pneumonia, regardless of the initial CURB-65 score (confusion, blood urea nitrogen > 20 mg/dL, respiratory rate > 30 breaths/min, blood pressure < 90/60 mm Hg, and age ≥ 65 y). OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk factors associated with hypoxemia and the influence of hypoxemia on clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with mild pneumonia. METHODS: We performed a multicenter prospective cohort study of 585 consecutive hospitalized patients with mild pneumonia (CURB-65 groups 0 and 1). We stratified the patients according to the presence of hypoxemia, defined as a PaO2/FIO2 < 300 mm Hg on admission. We assessed the risk …

[Tuberculosis epidemiology in area 15 of the Spanish autonomous community of Valencia: evolution from 1987 through 2001].

2005

Objectives TO describe the evolution of tuberculosis epidemiology in Area 15 of the Autonomous Community of Valencia. Material and Methods Cases of tuberculosis were identified by active case finding in Area 15 from January 1987 through December 2001. Clinical and epidemiological data were extracted from case records and a patient interview. Results Four hundred seventy-six diagnosed cases of mycobacterial infection were identified (459 tuberculosis, 16 atypical, and 1 mixed); 423 tuberculosis patients were residents of Area 15. The mean annual incidence rate was 24.6/100 000 population, representing a rate decrease of 41.5% from 1990. The most frequent risk factors were smoking (38%), alco…

Is it possible to predict which patients with mild pneumonias will develop hypoxemia?

2009

SummaryUsually, mortality due to mild community-acquired pneumonias (CAP) (Pneumonia severity index (PSI) classes I–III) is low (<3%), but the appearance of hypoxemia significantly increases mortality. Our aim was to determine the clinical parameters associated with risk factors of developing hypoxemia in subjects with mild CAP (PSI I–III) and the clinical outcomes of the hypoxemic group.We analyzed clinical characteristics and the outcomes of patients with mild CAP and hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2<300), in a prospective, multicenter cohort study of 1195 patients.Mild pneumonias (PSI I–III) were found in 645 cases (53.9%), of which 217 (33.6%) presented hypoxemia according to a PaO2/FiO2<300. Patie…

Evolución de la declaración de la tuberculosis en un área sanitaria de la Comunidad Valenciana desde 1987 hasta 1999

2001

Objetivos La infradeclaracion de la tuberculosis (TBC) es un hecho frecuente a escala mundial que ha sido escasa-mente estudiado en nuestro pais. El objetivo de nuestro es-tudio fue conocer el estado de la declaracion de los casos de TBC en nuestra area sanitaria Material y metodo Desde 1987 a 1999 se estudio de for-ma directa la incidencia y el estado de declaracion de los casos de TBC en nuestra area (censo: 106.632 habitantes). Los casos se obtuvieron desde el registro de EDO, anatomia patologica y bacteriologia, con posterior revision de la historia clinica Resultados Se diagnosticaron 410 casos de TBC, de los cuales 378 eran recientes del area (incidencia media anual: 27 por 100.000 ha…
