Objetivos: Determinar los factores clínicos y laboratoriales asociados al diagnóstico temprano de sepsis neonatal precoz en el Hospital María Auxiliadora- MINSA en el periodo agosto 2017- agosto 2018. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico transversal y retrospectivo, basado en la recolección, revisión de historias clínicas de todos los pacientes con diagnóstico con sepsis neonatal precoz, calculando el dato estadístico de STATA y el odds ratio. Resultados: La muestra total fue de 111 pacientes donde 44 (40.54%) presentaron diagnóstico de sepsis neonatal precoz probada; donde se encontró que las características clínicas más frecuentes fueron el 39.78% de ictericia, 31.82% vómitos, 75% fiebre, 40.54% taquipnea; siendo fiebre la que presentó p<0.05 y OR: 2.41. Respecto a las características laboratoriales, el 25.97%(n=20) tuvo PCR>10, 28.57% ...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Vascular calcifications are part of the systemic disorders of bone mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and represent one of the main causes of mortality.  Objective: To determine the clinical characteristics, prevalence of vascular calcifications and biochemical alterations of the bone mineral disorder in patients with CKD in hemodialysis therapy. Methods: Analytical, cross-sectional and non-experimental study. The prevalence of vascular calcifications (abdominal aorta) was determined according to the validated score (Kaupilla). The association of qualitative variables was used the Pearson Chi-Square. Results: The population included (n: 49), 65% of the patients were incidents in hemodialysis (> 6 months) with a mean hemodialysis time of 2.8 years. The not incident or new patients on hemodialysis (<6 months) was 35%. The average age was 62...
