Background: The use of contraceptive methods in Peru has remarkably increased in recent decades. Nevertheless, despite the completeness and accessibility of family planning methods, modern contraceptive methods utilization in Peru remains below the South American average. Thus, this study aimed to elucidate the factors associated with modern contraceptive use, as well as the presence of inequalities and the spatial distribution in Peruvian women aged 15–49 years in 2019. Methods: A secondary data analysis was conducted using information from the 2019 Peruvian Demographic and Health Survey. We performed descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and Poisson multiple regression. Inequalities were estimated through concentration curves and Erreygers’ normalized concentration index. Spatial analysis included choropleth map, Global Moran’s I, Kriging interpolation and Getis-Ord-Gi* sta...

Antecedentes: El uso de métodos anticonceptivos en el Perú se ha incrementado notablemente en las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, a pesar de los esfuerzos en lograr accesibilidad a métodos de planificación familiar, la utilización de métodos anticonceptivos modernos en el Perú se mantiene por debajo del promedio sudamericano. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo dilucidar los factores asociados al uso de anticonceptivos modernos, así como la presencia de desigualdades y la distribución espacial en mujeres peruanas de 15 a 49 años en 2019. Métodos: Se realizó un análisis de datos secundarios utilizando información de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud del Perú 2019. Realizamos estadística descriptiva, análisis bivariado y regresión múltiple de Poisson. Las desigualdades se estimaron mediante curvas de concentración e índice de concentración normalizado de Erreygers. El a...

Objective: To analyze the variation in attendance and diagnoses after the national vaccination campaign against COVID-19 in the pediatric emergency department. The study: Analytical retrospective cross-sectional study. Pediatric emergency department visits were compared between epidemiological weeks 1 and 52 of the years 2020 and 2021, analyzing sociodemographic characteristics, condition and diagnosis. Chi-square was used for bivariate analysis. Findings: A 77.8% increase was found in the number of attentions during the year 2021 compared to 2020. There was a 4% increase in infectious diseases and a 9.2% increase in respiratory diseases. In addition, a decrease of 8.7% was observed in gastrointestinal diseases. Conclusion: The results indicate that after the start of the national vaccination campaign, there was a significant increase in the number of patients compared to 2020, mainly fo...

Introducción: La tuberculosis pulmonar se ha convertido en un problema para la Comunidad Pacífico de Villa-Chorrillos, ya que se ha encontrado un alto número de sintomáticos respiratorios en su centro de salud. El hacinamiento de la población, la falta de flujo de información y las limitaciones geográficas y socioeconómicas han contribuido a un conocimiento insuficiente e inadecuado de dicha enfermedad, por lo cual fue necesario realizar una intervención. Objetivos: Disminuir la morbilidad por tuberculosis en la población adulta de la Comunidad Pacífico de Villa. Metodología: Se empleó la metodología del marco lógico que incluye listado de problemas, priorización de problemas, análisis de involucrados, árbol de problemas, árbol de objetivos, análisis de alternativas, estructura analítica del proyecto y finalmente una matriz de actividades. Actividades: Realización d...
