Objective. To determine the characteristics and trend of the articles published on cardiology and cardiovascular medicine in the Peruvian context, and to understand how it has changed over the years. Materials and methods. A bibliometric study of original articles published up to 2020 by Peruvian authors in journals indexed under the category “Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems” in Web of Science (WOS) was performed. The articles were included according to the selection criteria in the Rayyan web application and the bibliometric analysis was performed using the Bibliometrix package in the R programming language and VOSviewer. Results. A total of 159 published articles were included, and an increase in the number of publications since 2015 was observed. The most cited article was a clinical trial by Fitchett et al. and published in 2016. Miranda JJ was the Peruvian author with the h...

To assess the association between women’s autonomy and intimate partner violence (IPV) against women of childbearing age. Secondary analysis of the 2019 Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES-acronym in Spanish) was carried out. The study population was women aged 15–49 years who are currently married or living with a partner. A Poisson family generalized linear regression model was estimated to calculate adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) for the association between women’s autonomy and IPV with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI). Data from 18,621 women were analyzed. The highest proportion of women had low autonomy (low: 42%; moderate: 39.2%; high: 18.8%). A prevalence of IPV of 40.1% was found (psychological/verbal: 38.8%; physical: 8.8%; sexual: 2.3%). The adjusted model found that women with a low level of autonomy (aPR: 1.15, 95%CI: 1.01–1.31) had a higher pr...

Introduction ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most severe clinical form of acute myocardial infarction, for which the current treatment consists of effective and timely myocardial reperfusion (within 12 hours of symptom onset). However, between 10% and 15% of patients with STEMI arrive at hospital facilities 12 hours after the onset of symptoms (late presentation). Therefore, the objective of the present study will be to determine if late revascularisation (12-72 hours after the onset of symptoms) affects the indicators of cardiovascular mortality, reinfarction, recurrent infarction, hospitalisation for heart failure and post infarction angina compared with no late revascularisation in patients with STEMI. Methods and analysis A systematic literature search of PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL),...
