Objetivo: Determinar las características clínico, epidemiológicas de Dengue con signos de alarma en pacientes atendidos en el Servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital General de Jaén, 2023. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo de corte transversal. Se trabajó con una población total de 106 pacientes donde mediante estadística descriptiva se generó tablas con frecuencias y porcentajes. Resultados: El 67.9% fueron de sexo femenino, el grupo etario con mayor cantidad de casos son los adultos jóvenes con 55.7%, la zona de residencia predominante es la zona urbana con 82.1%, el grado de instrucción alcanzado de la mayoría de la población es primaria con 46.3%, presentó una infección previa de dengue el 6.6% y el 3.8% viajó 14 días antes de su enfermedad, marzo es el mes con mayor cantidad de reportes con 45 casos siendo el 42...

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the factors associated with the consumption of drugs without scientific evidence in patients with mild COVID-19 infection in Peru. Methods An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out including 372 adult patients with a history of mild COVID-19 disease. Factors associated with drug consumption were evaluated by Poisson regressions with robust variance adjustment using the bootstrapping resampling method. Results Seventy-two percent consumed some medication without scientific evidence, with antibiotics (71%) and ivermectin for human use (68%) being the most commonly used. Factors associated with the consumption of drugs to treat mild COVID-19 infection were thinking that the drugs are not effective (adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.55; 95% confidence interval, 0.41-0.74) and not being informed about the efficacy of the drugs (adjusted prevalence r...

COVID-19 has led us to take preventive measures, such as social isolation, to reduce the high transmissibility of the disease. This could have affected the mental health of various population groups and the development of resilience as a mitigator. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with 700 participants from eight cities. The dependent variables were depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The independent variable was resilience. Generalized logistic regressions were used to identify the associations between the variables. The population consisted mostly of university students (65.0%); the rest of the population was distributed among workers of public or private institutions, housewives, and others (35.0%). High prevalences of anxiety (72.7%), depression (64.1%), and PTSD (15.1%) were found, as well as a median (interquartile range) resilience score...
