RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: A year ago, in a sample of 113 patients, our research group found that a high number of lymphocytes in the immediate postoperative period was correlated to a poor prognosis in cardiovascular surgeries. This study is an expansion of the initial study in order to confirm this finding. METHODS: We analyzed the data of 338 consecutive patients submitted to cardiovascular surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass performed at Hospital Universitário Ciências Médicas (Belo Horizonte/Brazil) from 2015 to 2017. We analyzed 39 variables with the outcomes death, hospital stay, and intensive care unit stay. RESULTS: The value of lymphocytes in the immediate postoperative period > 2175.0/mm³ was an indicator of poor prognosis in this sample (P<0.001). The variables female sex, age, high level of European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II, increased stay in the intensive care unit and in the ward, elevation of creatinine in the preoperative period and at intensive care unit discharge, elevation of the percentage of immediate postoperative period segmented neutrophils, high immediate postoperative period neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, fasting hyperglycemia, preoperative critical condition, reintubation, mild or transient acute renal failure, surgical infection, cardiopulmonary bypass, and aortic cross-clamping and mechanical ventilation durations also had an impact on the mortality outcome. CONCLUSION: The value of lymphocytes in the immediate postoperative period > 2175.0/mm3 was an indicator of poor prognosis in cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

RESUMO

Objective: Hip fractures in older adults have the highest impact on the patient's health. These injuries result in many complications, reducing functional capability, quality of life, and life expectancy. This study aimed to provide more epidemiological data on the outcomes of these fractures in nonagenarians from a large city treated at a tertiary hospital. Methods: This study consisted of medical record reviews and interviews. Results: In this study, 76 patients underwent 82 surgeries. The mean age of the patients was 92.5 years. Ninety percent of the subjects were female. The patients spent 10.4 days in hospital. Surgery occurred on average 2.3 days after hospitalization. Regarding fractures, 46 were trochanteric (56%), and 34 affected the femoral neck (41.5%). Forty-one surgeries used the short proximal femoral nail (50%), and 18 were partial hip replacements (22%). During hospitalization, 46 patients (55%) had no complications, excluding episodes of delirium, and seven patients (9%) died. Forty-two subjects completed the one-year postoperative follow-up period, with 56% alive and 44% dead. Conclusions: Treating hip fractures in older patients is challenging. Our goal must focus on helping these subjects receive the quickest and least aggressive treatment possible and start mobilization early. We hope the data presented in this study can lead to a better understanding of the characteristics of our nonagenarian population with hip fractures and seek the best possible treatment for them.

Resumo Objetivo: As fraturas de quadril em idosos são as que mais impactam na saúde do paciente e estão associadas a muitas complicações, levando a redução da capacidade funcional, da qualidade de vida e da expectativa de vida. O nosso trabalho visa trazer mais dados epidemiológicos sobre os desfechos dessas fraturas em nonagenários em uma grande cidade atendidos em um hospital terciário. Métodos: O trabalho foi realizado através de revisão de prontuários e entrevistas. Resultados: Foram realizadas 82 cirurgias em 76 pacientes nesse período. A média de idade foi de 92,5 anos, 90% eram mulheres e ficaram 10,4 dias internados. A cirurgia foi realizada em média 2,3 dias após a internação. Do total, 46 fraturas foram trocantéricas (56%) e 34 do colo do fêmur (41,5%). Foram realizadas 41 cirurgias com a técnica da haste cefalomedular curta (50%) e 18 artroplastias parcial de quadril (22%). Durante a internação, 46 pacientes (55%) não apresentaram complicações, excluindo episódios de delirium, e 7 pacientes (9% dos casos) evoluíram para óbito. 42 pacientes já fecharam 1 ano após cirurgia: 56% estão vivos e 44% evoluíram para óbito. Conclusões: O tratamento de fraturas de quadril em pacientes idosos é desafiador. O nosso objetivo deve estar focado em ajudar esses idosos a receber um tratamento rápido e menos agressivo possível e a mobilizar precocemente. Esperamos que, com os dados apresentados nesse trabalho, possamos entender melhor acerca das características da nossa população nonagenária vítimas de fratura de quadril e buscar o melhor tratamento possível para esses pacientes.

RESUMO

Objetivo: analisar a relação entre a raça/cor da pele e a morbimortalidade por COVID-19 no estado de São Paulo-SP. Métodos: Estudo ecológico, retrospectivo e analítico, cujos dados foram coletados no Sistema Estadual de Análise de Dados (SEADE) do Governo do Estado de São Paulo e correspondem ao período de fevereiro de 2020 a setembro de 2021. Na análise de dados, utilizou-se o modelo de regressão com distribuição binomial-negativa múltipla, para comparar a incidência e a mortalidade específica entre as raças/cores de pele. Resultados: ao se compararem as curvas de incidência de COVID-19, houve diferença estatística significativa entre as comparações de todos os grupos de raça/cor da pele. Na comparação entre tendências branca vs parda, o resultado foi p = 0,007; na comparação entre tendências branca vs preta, p = <0,001; na comparação entre tendências parda vs preta, p = 0,003. Porém, quando foram comparadas as tendências de incidência por sexo e faixa etária e as tendências de óbito, não houve diferença estatística. Conclusão: a raça/cor da pele influenciou nas curvas de incidência geral por COVID-19 no estado de São Paulo, porém a não associação com a mortalidade pode estar relacionada com a falta de informação sobre raça/cor/etnia nas fichas de notificação, afetando consequentemente sua disponibilidade nos sistemas de informação, o que reforça a importância da divulgação de dados epidemiológicos oficiais de qualidade.(AU)

Objective: to analyze the relationship between ethnicity/skin color and morbi-mortality from COVID-19 in the state of São Paulo-SP. Methods: ecological, retrospective, and analytical study, whose data were collected from the State Data Analysis System (SE-ADE) of the Government of the State of São Paulo, covering from February 2020 to September 2021. Data analysis used a regression model with multiple binomial negative distribution, to compare the incidence and mortality specific between ethnicities/skin colors. Results: a comparison between the incidence curves of COVID-19 showed a signi-ficant statistical difference between all groups of ethnicity/skin color. In the comparison of trends between white and brown, the result was p = 0.007; in the comparison of trends between white and black, it was p = 0.001; in the comparison of trends between brown and black, p = 0.003. However, when we compare the trends of incidence per sex and age group with death trends, there was no statistical difference. Conclusion: ethnicity/skin color has influenced general incidence curves by COVID-19 in São Paulo. The fact that it was not associated with mortality can be related with the lack of information about ethnicity/color in notification forms, thus affecting the availability of such data in information systems, which reiterates the importance of publicizing quality official epidemiological data.(AU)

RESUMO

RESUMO A Doença de Parkinson é irreversível e afeta o sistema nervoso central. Como a doença acomete principalmente idosos, é fundamental a atenção e estratégias para prevenção e cuidados para as pessoas vulneráveis à doença, através da exposição de dados que demonstrem a situação. O objetivo foi analisar a morbimortalidade da doença e a distribuição por estados e regiões do Brasil de 2008 a 2020. Trata-se de estudo epidemiológico, retrospectivo, utilizando-se o banco de dados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. Encontrou-se uma média de internações de 875±166 por ano, com queda em 2020. A faixa etária mais acometida foi entre 60 e 79 anos, em homens, mas observou-se aumento dos casos em pessoas mais jovens. A mortalidade encontrada foi de 3333±759 ao ano, com crescimento da curva ao longo do tempo estatisticamente significativa e maiores taxas no Rio Grande do Sul e Rio de Janeiro. Pode-se concluir que tanto as taxas de internamento quanto de mortalidade tiveram predomínio nos idosos e no sexo masculino, sendo a região Sul com maior taxa de mortalidade.

ABSTRACT Parkinson's Disease is irreversible and affects the central nervous system. As the disease mainly affects the elderly, attention and strategies for prevention and care for people who have the disease are essential, making it possible through the exposure of data that demonstrate the situation. The objective was to analyze the morbidity and mortality of the disease and the distribution by states and regions of Brazil from 2008 to 2020. This is an epidemiological, retrospective study, using the database of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System. An average of 875±166 hospitalizations per year was found, with a decrease in 2020. The most affected age group was between 60 and 79 years old, in men, but there was an increase in cases in younger people. Mortality found was 3333±759 per year, with statistically significant growth of the curve over time and higher rates in Rio Grande do Sul and Rio de Janeiro. It can be concluded that both the hospitalization rate and the mortality rate were predominant in the elderly and in males, with the South region having the highest mortality rate.

RESUMO

Resumo Fundamento Os resultados a curto prazo após o uso de enxertos arteriais ainda suscitam questionamentos e dúvidas na sociedade médica. Objetivo Comparar os resultados imediatos de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio com enxerto arterial único versus enxertos arteriais múltiplos. Métodos Estudo de coorte transversal no Registro Paulista de Cirurgia Cardiovascular II (REPLICCAR II). Os dados perioperatórios de 3122 pacientes foram agrupados pelo número de enxertos arteriais utilizados e seus desfechos foram comparados: reoperação, infecção profunda da ferida torácica (IPFT), acidente vascular cerebral, lesão renal aguda, intubação prolongada (>24 horas), tempo de internação curta (<6 dias), tempo de internação prolongada (>14 dias), morbidade e mortalidade. O Propensity Score Matching (PSM) correspondeu a 1062 pacientes, ajustado para o risco de mortalidade. Resultados Após PSM, o grupo enxerto arterial único apresentou pacientes com idade avançada, mais ex-fumantes, hipertensos, diabéticos, portadores de angina estável e infarto do miocárdio prévio. Nos enxertos arteriais múltiplos houve predomínio do sexo masculino, pneumonia recente e cirurgias de urgência. Após o procedimento, houve maior incidência de derrame pleural (p=0,042), pneumonia (p=0,01), reintubação (p=0,006), IPFT (p=0,007) e desbridamento esternal (p=0,015) no grupo de enxertos multiarteriais, porém, menor necessidade de hemotransfusão (p=0,005), infecções de extremidades (p=0,002) e menor tempo de internação (p=0,036). O uso bilateral da artéria torácica interna não foi relacionado ao aumento da taxa de IPFT, e sim a hemoglobina glicosilada >6,40% (p=0,048). Conclusão Pacientes submetidos a técnica multiarterial apresentaram maior incidência de complicações pulmonares e IPFT, sendo que a hemoglobina glicosilada ≥6,40% teve maior influência no resultado infeccioso do que a escolha dos enxertos.

Abstract Background The short-term results after using arterial grafts still raise questions and doubts for medical society. Objective To compare the immediate outcomes of patients undergoing single arterial graft versus multiple arterial grafts coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Methods Cross-sectional cohort study in the São Paulo Registry of Cardiovascular Surgery II (REPLICCAR II). Perioperative data from 3122 patients were grouped by the number of arterial grafts used, and their outcomes were compared: reoperation, deep sternal wound infection (DSWI), stroke, acute kidney injury, prolonged intubation (>24 hours), short hospital stay (<6 days), prolonged hospital stay (>14 days), morbidity and mortality. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) matched 1062 patients, adjusted for the mortality risk. Results After PSM, the single arterial graft group showed patients with advanced age, more former smokers, hypertension, diabetes, stable angina, and previous myocardial infarction. In the multiple arterial grafts, there was a predominance of males, recent pneumonia, and urgent surgeries. After the procedure, there was a higher incidence of pleural effusion (p=0.042), pneumonia (p=0.01), reintubation (p=0.006), DSWI (p=0.007), and sternal debridement (p=0.015) in the multiple arterial grafts group, however, less need for blood transfusion (p=0.005), extremity infections (p=0.002) and shorter hospital stays (p=0.036). Bilateral use of the internal thoracic artery was not related to increased DSWI rate, but glycosylated hemoglobin >6.40% (p=0.048). Conclusion Patients undergoing the multiarterial technique had a higher incidence of pulmonary complications, and DSWI, where glycosylated hemoglobin ≥6.40%, had a greater influence on the infectious outcome than the choice of grafts.
