Introduction: The sociopolitical crisis in Venezuela has triggered massive migration to countries like Peru, where reproductive-aged migrant women face significant barriers to accessing reproductive health services. These conditions expose this group to maternal health risks and complications during pregnancy. Objective: To identify the social, economic, and health determinants influencing the pregnancy experiences of Venezuelan migrant women in Peru, using data from the Venezuelan Population Residing in the Country Survey. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical, and retrospective study was conducted using secondary data. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed to explore associations between sociodemographic, health variables, and pregnancy. Results: The main determinants associated with pregnancy were age (p<0.001), educational level (p=0.003),...

Desde hace muchos años, la preocupación por la medición del crecimiento económico ha sido un tema de principal importancia. Desde la primera modelación matemática realizada por Solow (1955) hasta los modelos más actuales que en esencia son sofisticaciones de este primero. Dado ello, esta investigación busca no solo evaluar la medición del crecimiento económico, sino agrupar las principales respuestas empíricas a lo largo de los años y generar un concepto nuevo de estimación, sujeto a la hipótesis de convergencia tecnológica o catch-up, la cual indica que las regiones seguidoras imitan la tecnología adquirida por la región líder, para así mejorar su crecimiento económico. Además, este enfoque se le adicionó la dimensión sectorial de la economía, esto porque cada sector posee un dinamismo único, por lo que no es dable la idea de decir que un cierto factor influya e...

Introducción. Persiste la incertidumbre sobre el Programa Juntos y su beneficio en la atención materno-neonatal en Perú. Objetivo. Evaluar la diferencia ajustada del parto institucional y evaluación postparto según la afiliación al Programa Juntos en Perú, 2014–2023. Métodos. Estudio observacional, retrospectivo y transversal con datos de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES) 2014–2023. Se incluyeron 37 690 mujeres que habían tenido un parto. La exposición fue afiliación al Programa Juntos. Se aplicó emparejamiento por puntaje de propensión (PSM) anual uno a uno, sin reemplazo, caliper 0,05, ajustando por covariables sociodemográficas y geográficas. El balance se evaluó con sesgo estandarizado absoluto (<10%) y solapamiento. Se estimó el efecto promedio del tratamiento en los tratados (ATET) para parto institucional y control postnatal en siete día...

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is essential for infant development during the first six months of life, providing nutritional and immunological benefits for both the newborn and the mother. Objective: To determine the association between maternal health and EBF in Peru, based on data from the ENDES 2021-2023. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using data from ENDES 2021-2023. The study population included mothers of children under six months of age. The dependent variable was EBF, while independent variables included maternal age, region of residence, difficulty concentrating, appetite distortion, type of delivery, prenatal care, and breastfeeding training. A Poisson regression model with robust variance was used, reporting adjusted prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI95%). Results: Maternal age and region of ...

RESUMEN: Introducción: El tamizaje mamográfico reduce la mortalidad por cáncer de mama mediante la detección temprana. Objetivo: Analizar los factores asociados al tamizaje mamográfico en mujeres peruanas entre 2020 y 2024. Métodos: Estudio observacional, transversal y retrospectivo, basado en datos secundarios de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES), correspondiente al periodo 2020–2024. Se incluyeron 35 065 mujeres peruanas de 35 años o más, excluyéndose aquellas que declararon idioma extranjero. Se evaluó la realización de una mamografía en los últimos doce meses como variable dependiente. Las covariables incluyeron características individuales (edad, lengua materna, nivel educativo, situación laboral, estado conyugal, percepción sobre prevención del cáncer, cobertura de seguro de salud) y del hogar (zona y región de residencia, índice de riqueza)...

Objective. To determine the association between the full moon and the incidence of vaginal preterm deliveries among women with vaginal delivery in a tertiary care hospital in Lima, Peru. Methods. An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out on a secondary data of the Certificate of Live Birth (CNV) of Peru. All newborns from the National Maternal Perinatal Institute were studied between the years 2013 and 2021. The duration of the full moon phase was determined through the programming language with Python 3.6 and the analysis of the incidence of prematurity with the STATA v15 statistical package. Results. 90,653 newborns were selected from the CNV national data, of which 11,563 (12.75%) participants were born during the days of the full moon and 79,089 (87.25%) during the other phases. A higher incidence of vaginal preterm births was observed during the full moon phase, compared t...
