Objetivo: Analizar la prevalencia y componentes del Síndrome Metabólico (SM) premórbido en trabajadores asegurados al seguro social de salud en una zona de altitud moderada (Chachapoyas, Perú). Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal con datos de diverso tipo de trabajadores pertenecientes a un programa de EsSalud enfocado a diagnosticar SM premórbido, obesidad y sobrepeso en trabajadores en sus centros laborales durante el periodo octubre 2017 a agosto 2018. Se trabajó con datos previamente registrados por el programa mencionado. El SM se diagnosticó según los criterios de la guía “Harmonizing the Metabolic Syndrome”. Resultados: Se incluyeron un total de 1021 sujetos. La prevalencia global de SM premórbido fue de 32,8 % (312/952). En hombres, la prevalencia fue de 35,4 % (160/452) y en mujeres de 30,4 % (152/500), no existiendo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos sexos (p=0,101). La frecuencia de los componentes del SM en la población total del estudio fue: Obesidad central 73,4 %, hipertrigliceridemia 45,6 %, HDL-C bajo 66,3 %, hiperglicemia 10,0 % y presión arterial elevada 6,5 %. Los participantes con SM premórbido fueron significativamente mayores en edad que aquellos sin SM premórbido (44 versus 36 años, p<0,001). Conclusiones: Existe una alta prevalencia de SM premórbido en trabajadores residentes en Chachapoyas, contrariamente a lo sugerido por la evidencia previa.
Liver transplantation is the major treatment for end-stage liver disease. Postoperative care is a great challenge to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients. In this sense, management in the liver ICU allows hemodynamic management, coagulation monitoring, renal support, electrolyte disturbances, respiratory support and early weaning from mechanical ventilation and evaluation of the liver graft. Objective: The present study shows the results of the management of liver transplant patients in 20 years of experience in a transplant center in a low- to middle-income country. Materials and methods: The medical records of 273 adult patients in the ICU in the immediate postoperative liver transplant were reviewed, from March 20, 2000 to November 30, 2020, including the effect of the pandemic caused by COVID-19. Liver-kidney, retransplanted, SPLIT, and domino transplant patients were excluded. Results: The most frequent etiology for LTx was NASH (35%), the mean age was 49 years, MELD Score ranged 15 - 20 (47.5%), 21 - 30 (46%) > 30 (6.2%). ICU pre transplant stay 7%, average ICU stay: 7.8 days. APACHE average admission: 14.9 points. Weaning extubation of 91.8% patients in ICU and Fast Track in 8.2%. The most frequent respiratory complication was atelectasis 56.3%, pneumonia (31.3%); AKI 1 (60.9%), and 11.1% with hemodyalisis support (AKI3). Immunosuppression: Tacrolimus (8.9%). Post-operative ICU mortality was 6.2%. Conclusions: The management of liver transplantation in the ICU is essential to achieve optimal results in patients who present advanced liver disease and require advanced life support in the immediate postoperative period and thus optimize graft survival.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
