Introduction: Zika is an emerging arboviral disease that entered Peru in 2016, associated with congenital malformations and neurological complications. Objective: To analyze the incidence and distribution of Zika and identify complications in pregnant women in Peru during the 2016–2023 period. Materials and methods: Observational, descriptive study based on secondary data from the national epidemiological surveillance system. Annual incidence rates (AIR) and average annual incidence rates (AAIR) were calculated by age group, sex, and geographic region. Results: A total of 4529 confirmed cases were reported (national AAIR: 2.62 per 100,000 population), with an epidemic peak in 2019 (AIR: 11.03 per 100,000). Focal outbreaks were identified in 12 departments, with the highest burden in Cajamarca (AAIR: 17.42) and Loreto (AAIR: 11.59). The highest AAIR was observed among young adults (2.04...

Introducción: El zika, es una enfermedad arboviral emergente que ingresó al Perú en 2016, asociada a malformaciones congénitas y complicaciones neurológicas. Objetivo: Analizar la incidencia y distribución del zika, e identificar complicaciones en gestantes en el Perú durante el período 2016-2023. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, basado en fuentes secundarias. Se calcularon tasas de incidencia anual (TIA) y anual media (TIAM) por grupos etarios, sexo y regiones geográficas. Resultados: Se confirmaron 4529 casos (TIAM nacional; 2,62/100 000), con pico epidémico en 2019 (TIA;11,03/100 000). Se identificaron brotes focalizados en 12 departamentos, siendo los más afectados Cajamarca (TIAM;17,42/100 000) y Loreto (TIAM;11,59/100 000). La mayor TIAM se registró en jóvenes (2,04/100 000), mujeres (2,19/100 000) y mujeres en edad fértil (2,94/100 000). No se...

La investigación titulada: “La socialización en los estudiantes que provienen que provienen de hogares monoparentales del Colegio Trilce de Huancayo”, tuvo como objetivo: Describir la socialización en los estudiantes que provienen de hogares monoparentales del colegio Trilce de Huancayo. En su metodología, considero el tipo básica, de nivel descriptiva, de enfoque cuantitativo, de diseño no experimental transeccional; con método de investigación general el método científico y como método especifico el método inductivo-deductivo. Para la recopilación de datos se utilizó como técnica la encuesta y el cuestionario como instrumento. La población estuvo conformada por 120 estudiantes y la muestra se conformó por 24 estudiantes de. Finalmente, se acepta la hipótesis planteada demostrándose que la socialización en los estudiantes que provienen de hogares monoparentales d...

Introduction: Dengue, a disease widely distributed in Peru, has increased incidence in recent years. Objective: Identify the population that resides in transmission scenarios, analyze the evolution of dengue and its association with demographic and socioeconomic factors. Materials and methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, ecological study, using data from secondary sources of cases and demographic and socioeconomic information, publicly accessible; units of analysis at the district and national level, period 2010-2023. Incidence, fatality and mortality rates are estimated, and the association between cases and demographic and socioeconomic variables is analyzed. Results: At the national level, in the period 2010-2023, 606,266 cases were reported from 602 districts (408 with continuous transmission and 194 with sporadic cases), 75% of the national population resides in these scenarios. I...

Dengue fever has experienced a global rise in incidence and distribution, largely influenced by climate variability. Nonetheless, the specific climatic thresholds that trigger elevated dengue incidence rates, and the time lag between weather conditions and the case surges remain uncertain. Average weekly climate variables along with weekly dengue incidence rates from 2001 and 2022 were analyzed in districts grouped by its climate zone. A cross-correlation technique was used to determine the time lag between climatic variables and dengue incidence, while a fine-tuned regression tree model was utilized to identify climatic thresholds linked to the incidence of dengue surges.This study identified distinct climatic thresholds that were met within a 20-week window preceding elevated dengue incidence rates in the six climate zones with the highest dengue prevalence in Peru. These insights enab...
