Factors associated with time free of oral candidiasis in children living with HIV/AIDS, São Paulo, Brazil

“…While some authors state that the use of statistical methods that do not consider the recurrence of episodes of thrush could lead to errors in the estimate of risks 14,28,29,30 , there is debate regarding whether the analysis of a single episode may correspond equally to the joint analysis of multiple episodes in some situations 31 .…”

“…Additionally, the inclusion criteria (acquisition of HIV infection through vertical transmission and age zero to 13 years) minimized difficulties in the comparison of the children analyzed with regard to clinical-epidemiological data and strengthened the homogeneity of the sample. It should be stressed that the choice of the PWP marginal model is considered adequate for modeling recurrent events and the variables of interest are known and available for the analysis of factors associated with the time patients are free of oral candidiasis 30,51 . Despite the sophistication of current statistical packages, which enable the complete execution of this type of modeling in a matter of minutes, the organization and analysis of the databank were performed with caution, since the statistical theory behind this type of model is complex.…”

Reingreso por infección de sitio quirúrgico: una revisión integradora

“…Una de las dificultades en el estudio de los reingresos es definir el rango de tiempo que caracteriza un reingreso, aunque se considere que cualquier admisión después del alta por motivos relacionados a la primera hospitalización, independiente del tiempo, es un reingreso 29 . La definición de ISQ del CDC 2 , es bastante clara en relación a esos rangos de tiempo; sin embargo, se observó que en el caso de implantes quirúrgicos, si el tiempo de observación no se extiende hasta un año después de la intervención, las diferencias encontradas en las tasas pueden carecer de importancia en las comparaciones entre las instituciones.…”

Readmissão por infecção de sítio cirúrgico em um hospital público de Belo Horizonte (MG)

“…Medeiros et al (2005) encontraram resultado semelhante obtendo taxas de 3,4% de ISC para cirurgias até 2,5 horas, e 9,5% para aquelas acima desse tempo (OR=2,8 e P<0,001). O tempo cirúrgico contribuiu para a ISC como variável independente em cirurgias oncológicas do aparelho digestivo (Castro, 2005).…”

“…As readmissões precoces, segundo Castro et al, (2005) (Broex et al, 2009). Taxas de readmissão, hematomas em feridas cirúrgicas e ISC são os futuros indicadores de qualidade dos resultados do cuidado cirúrgico (Engbaek et al, 2006).…”
