Preeclampsia is a disease that appears only during human pregnancy and is associated toimportant maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. There is no integral model to predictpreeclampsia. A review on preeclampsia most predictive markers is performed includingDoppler velocimetry of the uterine arteries, biochemical markers and some associated clinicalfactors. A new preeclampsia prediction index proposal is reviewed.Keywords: Preeclampsia, pregnancy, prediction.

Introduction: The National Medical Examination is a tool that measures knowledge and clinical reasoning as an approach to assess educational quality. Objective: To determine factors associated with qualification of the National Medical Examination (ENAM) 2012 at Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM). Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Faculty of Human Medicine, UNMSM, Lima, Peru. Participants: Medical Interns 2012. Interventions: Analysis of secondary sources using the binary logistic regression method. Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients and Student t test were applied. Main outcome measures: ENAM’s average scores, belonging to the 2006 class, internship hospital, and merit rank according to weighted university average (PPU). Results: Belonging to the 2006 incoming class, doing internship at EsSalud, and be placed in the academic upper and middle third were f...

Objective. Determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices in Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) in attending physicians of a public hospital. Materials and methods. Analytical observational cross-sectional design, a validated instrument with a Kuder and Richarson index (KR 20) of 0,79 was used. Results. The knowledge of MBE is low intermediate in 60% of the participants. In addition, there is a statistical association between the number of hours dedicated to the search for information and the level of knowledge of MBE. Conclusions. It is necessary to generate methodological strategies of medical education to improve the knowledge of the MBE to optimize the attitudes and practices of this medical activity.
