Las infecciones Asociadas a la atención en Salud (IAAS) son aquellas que el paciente adquiere mientras recibe tratamiento y en quien la infección no se había manifestado ni estaba en período de incubación en el momento del ingreso al hospital. Objetivo: describir las características clínico-epidemiológicas y el perfil microbiológico de las IAAS del Hospital Base Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional, descriptivo. Se obtuvo información de las fichas de datos de pacientes incluidos en los estudios de prevalencia puntual en los periodos 2014 II, 2015 I-IV y 2016 I-II, obtenidas de la oficina de Inteligencia Sanitaria. Además se revisó los resultados de los cultivos a través del sistema automatizado ®VITEK. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo por medio de medidas de tendencia central y porcentajes. Resultados: se evaluaron 1617 pacientes, ident...

Objetive: Describe the clinical-epidemiological characteristics and the microbiological profile of the IAAS of the Base Hospital Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo. Material and methods: observational, descriptive study. Information was obtained from the data sheets of patients included in the point prevalence studies in the 2014 II, 2015 I-IV and 2016 I-II periods, obtained from the Office of Sanitary Intelligence. In addition, the results of the crops were reviewed through the VITEK automated system. A descriptive analysis was carried out by measures of central tendency and percentages. Results: 1617 patients were evaluated, 144 patients were identified with IAAS. The overall prevalence was 9% (9.7%, 10.1%, 8.5%, 6.3% and 10.4% in the 2014, 2015-I, 2015-IV, 2016-I, 2016-II periods). 54.2% were men, the prevalent age group was older adults, the attributable mortality was 12.5%. The most common IA...

Objective: To determine the quality of informed medical consent forms (ICFs) used in different hospitals in Lambayeque region with respect to their structure and contents Material and method: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study. ICFs used in Lambayeque hospitals were assessed with respect to their quality of structure and contents with the participation of Ethics Committees. Two categories were established: complied (if the forms were complete and detailed); or non-compliant (because of omission or confounding). Forms were divided according to the number of requisites complied with: more than 75% (complying with 19-24 requisites); between 50 to 75% (12 to 18 requisites) and less than 50% (0 to 11 requisites).   Results: Of the eight forms studied in the Hospitals of the Region Lambayeque found in no (0%) were eligible hospital of failing to...

The undergraduate thesis rather than a requirement to graduate, are a way of doing research. Previous studies show a thesis published between 2.7% to 17.6% in indexed journals. Objective: To describe the characteristics of the undergraduate thesis of a medical school. Material and Methods: Bibliometric study. 221 theses were reviewed, collecting: year, number of authors, advisers, and references, study population, and national priorities for health research. A search was performed on Google Scholar to assess publication. Descriptive statistics were used. Results: Of the total, 91.6% of thesis had one advisor, 76% were descriptive, 82.8% were done in a hospital population, 62.4% in adults. A lower production was found in the years 2008-2010.Of the theses between 2010-2014,72.9% did not correspond to any national health research priority. Only 6.8%was based on literature of the last five y...
