Introducción: El síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño (SAHOS) es una enfermedad común, sin embargo, se subestima su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Ocurre en el 9% de las mujeres y el 17% de los hombres mayores de 50 años. La razón principal es que la vía aérea superior colapsa total o parcialmente, lo que provoca episodios repetidos de apnea durante el sueño. La fibrilación auricular es la arritmia más frecuente en el mundo afectando a 33 millones de personas, estas dos entidades pueden estar relacionadas y son problemas importantes de la salud públicas. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación del síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño y fibrilación auricular en pacientes adultos. Materiales y métodos: Se hizo una revisión sistemática y metaanálisis de estudios observacionales que asocien el síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño y fibrilación auricular. La búsqueda ...

Introduction: According to global health estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) injuries represent 8% of world deaths. There are systematic reviews that relate lactate and mortality in trauma patients but do not focus on multiple trauma patients. Objective: To determine if elevated lactate is a mortality factor in multiple trauma patients. Methodology: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies were carried out. The search was carried out in 4 databases: PUBMED, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. Data were pooled using a random effects model and summary statistics were calculated using odds ratios (ORs) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: Nine studies were included (n=5302). A significant association was found between elevated admission lactate with mortality (OR: 1.80; 95% CI 1.11 to 2.91) and 72-hour mortality (OR: 1.24; 95...

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common disease. However, its diagnosis and treatment are underestimated. The main reason is that the upper airway completely or partially collapses, leading to repeated sleep apnea episodes. In addition, atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia in the world, these two entities may be related and are important public health problems.Objective: To determine the association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and atrial fibrillation in adult patients.Materials and Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies that associate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and atrial fibrillation was carried out. The search was carried out in 4 databases: PUBMED, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus.Results: Eight studies were included (n=562241). A significant association was found between obstructive sleep ...
