“…Those authors included patients with claudication in their sample and found a significantly higher percentage of critical ischemia among women that underwent treatment than among men 6 . The higher prevalence of hypertension among women was also found by other authors in studies about CVD 8,9,11 . Su et al found an increase in the prevalence of hypertension among women after menopause 9 .…”

Background: Mortality from cardiovascular disease has declined among men and increased among North American women. Recent studies have revealed differences between genders in the epidemiology of atherosclerotic disease. Objective: To study possible differences between male and female patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) according to risk factors of atherosclerosis and clinical characteristics of lower limbs with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). Methods: The study included 171 male and female patients treated for CLI due to infrainguinal PAOD and compared clinical characteristics (Rutherford category and PAOD territory), risk factors for atherosclerosis (diabetes, age, smoking and hypertension) and number of opacified arteries on digital angiograms of the leg. The EPI-INFO software was used for statistical analysis, and the level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Mean age was 70 years, and 88 patients were men (52%). For most patients (both genders), Rutherford category was 5 (82% of men and 70% of women; p=0.16). The group of women had higher mean age (73 vs. 67 years; p=0.0002) and greater prevalence of diabetes (66% vs. 45%; p=0.003) and hypertension (90% vs. 56%; p=0.0000001). Among men, the prevalence of smoking was higher (76% vs. 53%; p=0.0008). The analysis of digital angiograms revealed that opacification of only one artery in the leg was found for 74% of women (vs. 50% of men). Conclusion: The prevalence of risk factors for atherosclerosis and the characteristics of PAOD are different between male and female patients with CLI.

“…The higher prevalence of diabetes among women, particularly among elderly women, has been confirmed by other authors 11 . In contrast, two studies that evaluated patients treated for infrainguinal PAOD using an endovascular approach found no significant differences in the occurrence of diabetes among men and women 6,7 .…”

“…Fatores cujo efeito associado à HAS ainda é controverso, como estresse, 67 , 71 depressão 67 , 72 e consumo de café, 36 , 73 não foram incluídos. A obesidade e a ingestão de sal 36 , 40 , 74 - 76 também foram consideradas, mas ponderou-se que essas avaliações debilitariam o uso da ferramenta.…”

Objective To develop and validate the content of a tool aimed to select patients with hypertension for pharmaceutical care, based on identification of individuals in greater need of attention.Methods The tool was developed and assessed for face and content validity, which was carried out in three stages. Phase I consisted of comprehensive literature review, which prompted the development of the first version of the tool. Phase II consisted of validation by an expert panel. Phase III consisted of a pilot study with hypertensive patients and preparation of the final version of the instrument.Results Literature review yielded 30 studies, out of which 13 factors associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease control and complications were selected. Once the initial version of the tool named INSAF-HAS was obtained, four expert meetings were held, each leading to instrument improvement until a final consensus was reached. In the pilot study, INSAF-HAS was applied to 30 patients with a diagnosis of hypertension for applicability pretest; adjustments were made and the final version of INSAF-HAS obtained.Conclusion The INSAF-HAS tool developed in this study has face and content validity, and may contribute to the selection of patients with hypertension in greater need of pharmaceutical care services.
