Objetivo: Identificar el tipo de relación y en qué grado tienen la tasa de prevalencia, mortalidad, y letalidad del Covid-19 con la Altura, la densidad poblacional, el Índice de Desarrollo Humano, Índice de Densidad de Estado, esperanza de vida, logro educativo, ingreso familiar, salud , educación, saneamiento y electrificación del Perú durante los meses de marzo - setiembre del 2020. Material y Métodos: Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, observacional-analítico, de diseño ecológico, en donde se analizó todas las provincias que pertenecen al territorio peruano. Para el análisis se utilizó un modelo de análisis de correlación bivariada y posteriormente posteriormente un análisis de regresión múltiple. Resultados: las variables que lograron demostrar relación de causalidad con la tasa de prevalencia son la altitud, el ingreso familiar, logro educativo_25 y la electrif...

This article shows a comparison of confirmed cases and death from Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), among South American countries, considering cases per million inhabitants and standardizing the time of infection, from the day of confirmation of case zero to each country. The objective is to more uniformly evaluate the spread of this virus and thus evaluate the result of the measures taken by governments against COVID-19, since various research centers show comparisons without taking into account the proportion of inhabitants, nor the time (days) of contagion between countries. In addition, we provide short-term predictions and an estimate of the end of confirmed cases in the most affected countries.

Introduction and Aim: Suicide and harmful alcohol consumption are major health problems, especially in medical students. This study aimed to evaluate the association between risk for alcohol abuse and suicide risk in medical interns of Peruvian hospitals. Design and Methods: We conducted a multicentre cross-sectional study in medical interns from 18 Peruvian hospitals. We measured suicide risk, risk for alcohol abuse, depression and self-esteem using the Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale, CAGE, Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, respectively. We used χ2 and Student t-tests for descriptive analysis. To evaluate the association between risk for alcohol abuse and suicide risk we generated crude and adjusted Poisson regression models with robust variance and estimated prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Results: We surveyed 433 medical interns. The pre...

Introduction: The medical internship is an entirely hospital stage where the mistreatment can adversely affect students' performance. The study's objective was to determine the characteristics and factors associated with the perception of abuse in medical interns in Peru. Materials and methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional and analytical study. We surveyed medical interns from eighteen Peruvian hospitals. Sociodemographic characteristics included a scale that mediates the perception of psychological, physical, and sexual mistreatment in the study. The researchers used generalized linear models and prevalence ratios at 95% confidence intervals. Results: 418 medical interns participated, 52.9% were women. The psychological, physical, and sexual mistreatment perceived was 91.9%, 55.5%, and 34%, respectively. A relationship was found in medical interns who perceived psychological maltreatmen...
