This study had as objective to determinate the consumption of Ceftriaxone in service at Geriatrics of National the Hospital Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo – EsSalud – Chiclayo, in 2008. It was made a descriptive-retrospective study expressing the consume in DDD/100 beds/day Defined Daily Dose. The trend of consumption through a correlation analysis and the corresponding test of statistical significance, units consumed, diagnostic classification, bacterial resistance and cost on new soles. The consumption of Ceftriaxone expressed in DDD/100 bed-days was 52,44 %. Trend tends to variability over time, being not p 0.05 statistically significant. The monthly consumption in units consumed was 2 905. The annual cost of this drug reached S/.19 277,5, representing 0.42% of total antibacterial treated at the Geriatric Department

It was made a descriptive-retrospective study expressing the consume in DDD/100 beds/day The trend of consumption through a correlation analysis and the corresponding test of statistical significance, units consumed, diagnostic classification, bacterial resistance and cost on new soles. The consumption of ciprofloxacin inj. 200mg expressed in DDD/100 bed-days was 48.42%. Trend tends to variability over time, being not p 0.05 statistically significant. In the classification of diagnoses were more prevalent in the urinary tract infection, the percentage of bacterial resistance, 2.33% of all patients who received Ciprofloxacin inj. 200 mg. In the classification of diagnoses w...

Estudios recientes sugieren que los calcios antagonistas (CCB) podrían reducir el riesgo de tuberculosis y mejorar los resultados clínicos. Nuestro objetivo fue sintetizar la evidencia respecto al efecto de los calcios antagonistas sobre el riesgo de desarrollar tuberculosis activa. Realizamos búsquedas sistemáticas de estudios observacionales y ECA, en cinco bases de datos hasta el 31 de agosto de 2022, en concordancia con las recomendaciones de las guías PRISMA, AMSTAR 2, y el Manual Cochrane. Se siguió una estrategia PECO. Se incluyeron siete estudios observacionales, 4 017 988 participantes, 241 175 pacientes diabéticos, y 27 555 casos de tuberculosis. Según nuestros resultados, los CCB reducen el riesgo de desarrollar tuberculosis activa en 29 % (RR 0.71; IC 95 % 067–0.75) en pacientes diabéticos y no diabéticos. Los CCB disminuyen el riesgo de tuberculosis activa o mort...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to synthesize the evidence on the causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) associated with hypokalemia in individuals ≥15 to <65 years of age without structural heart disease. Case report. We reported a case and collected SCD cases following the PECO strategy. We conducted a bibliographic search of the literature published up to November 30, 2021. We included 25 cases. The mean age was 33.8 ± 2.4 years. Of the total cases, 60% were male and 60% corresponded to acquired etiologies. Thyrotoxicosis was the etiology of 8% of cases. The QTc interval was prolonged in 90% of the cases in which it could be recorded. Sixty percent of cases occurred out of hospital. Only 24% of episodes resulted in death. Conclusions. Thyrotoxicosis is a rare cause of hypokalemic sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Hypokalemic SCA seems to be associated with better clinical resul...
