Objetivos. Determinar los factores asociados a la adherencia al tratamiento de erradicación de Helicobacter Pylori en el Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico de cohorte prospectivo longitudinal donde se incluyó a 100 pacientes que iniciaron el tratamiento de erradicación de Helicobacter pylori. Se aplicó el test de Morisky Green para medir la adherencia al tratamiento y el test de Batalla para medir el conocimiento sobre la infección de Helicobacter pylori. Se desarrolló la prueba Chi cuadrado para determinar la asociación de los factores con la adherencia al tratamiento y el análisis de regresión logística para estimar RR crudo y RR ajustado. Resultados. De los 100 pacientes, se encontró que el 64% fueron mujeres. El promedio de edad fue de 49,9 años y el 65% fue adherente al tratamiento. Los factores asoc...

Transient neonatal myasthenia gravis (TNMG) is an acquired autoimmune disease that occurs in10 to 20 % of newborns born to mothers with myasthenia gravis. Symptoms appear within thefirst 24-72 hours and disappear after weeks or months, with 90 % of patients achieving completerecovery by 2 months of age. The typical presentation begins with respiratory distress, generalizedhypotonia, and feeding difficulties, requiring clinical surveillance from birth due to the possibilityof early hospitalization.We present the case of a newborn, born to a mother with myasthenia gravis, who was admittedat 7 days of age to the Intermediate Care Unit of Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza due tohypoactivity, poor sucking and hypotonia. Given the suspicion of TNMG due to the maternalhistory and the patient’s symptoms, a therapeutic anticholinesterase test was performed,showing immediate improvement in spon...

Objective: To determine the factors associated with adherence to Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment in patients with theinfection. Materials and methods: A longitudinal prospective cohort analytical observational study was conducted, including 100 patients who initiated Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment. The Morisky Green test was applied to measure adherence to treatment and the Battle Test was applied to measure knowledge about Helicobacter pylori infection. The Chi-square test was performed to determine the association of factors with adherence to treatment and logistic regression analysis to estimate crude RR and adjusted RR. Results: Of the 100 patients, 64% were found to be female. The average age was 49.9 years and 65%were adherent to treatment. Factors associated with lack of treatment adherence were: age under 50 years (adjusted RR 3.95, 95% CI: 1.09-14.33), ...
