Introducción: Estudios recientes han identificado reducción de eficacia de terapia triple para la erradicación del H. pylori. En Perú, no existe suficiente evidencia sobre la eficacia de este tipo de terapia. El objetivo fue identificar la asociación entre tipo de terapia y erradicación de H. pylori. Materiales y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo analítico en un hospital privado de Piura, Perú 2017. Se recolectó información de historias clínicas de pacientes con biopsia positiva para H. pylori. Se evaluó la asociación entre tipo de terapia recibida (triple estándar, MOCA y BOTF) y la erradicación de infección por H. pylori. También, se exploró la presencia de comorbilidad, diagnóstico endoscópico antes y después de la terapia recibida,presencia de metaplasia y displasia. Se utilizó la prueba exacta de Fisher y un nivel de significancia al 5 %. Resultados: De 80 pacien...

Information on the prevention of earthquakes in Peru, a high-risk country, is still emerging. We determined the frequency and factors associated with knowledge of evacuation routes and the use of emergency backpacks in people affected by a major earthquake. A cross-sectional study using secondary data was conducted from August–December 2021 on people that experienced the 6.1 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Piura, Peru on 30 July 2021. The outcome was self-reported knowledge of evacuation routes and the use of emergency backpacks. The association with self-reported earthquake preparation training, use of sources of information on earthquakes, and sociodemographic variables was investigated. A total of 69.5% of participants knew evacuation routes, and 46.3% had an emergency backpack. A higher frequency of knowledge of evacuation routes was associated with previous training (PR: 1.4...

Introduction: Piura, located in a seismic zone, faces challenges related to food security. The aim of this study was to analyze aspects related to food insecurity in the region following the 6.1-magnitude earthquake that occurred in 2021, within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A secondary analysis was performed in 177 people exposed to the earthquake in Piura. Food insecurity was assessed with the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale. Its association with insomnia, resilience, anxiety/depressive symptoms, and general variables were determined using generalized linear models. Results: Food insecurity was observed in 31.1% (95% CI: 24.3–38.4) of participants. This prevalence was higher in people with mild (PR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.12–2.70) and moderate (PR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.09–2.22) anxiety symptoms, severe depressive symptoms (PR: 2.74, 95% CI: 1.24–6.03), and previous ...
