INTRODUCCIÓN: La investigación es un pilar importante en la formación académica de los estudiantes de medicina y su difusión permite comunicar los resultados de esta. OBJETIVO: Describir las características de los trabajos presentados en los congresos de estudiantes de medicina de Sociedad Medico Estudiantil Peruana entre los años 2017 al 2019 y los factores relacionados para su publicación. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio de diseño observacional, transversal, bibliométrico y retrospectivo, de fuente secundaria en base a los libros de resúmenes de los trabajos de los congresos científicos llevados a cabo entre el 2019 y 2017. Los datos fueron analizados mediante el programa StataV13 usando estadística descriptica. En el análisis multivariado se calcularon razones de prevalencias con un intervalo de confianza al 95% y p< 0.05 en los análisis crudos y ajustados. RESULTADOS: De 447 tra...

Objective: To describe the characteristics of papers presented at medical student conferences of Sociedad Científica Médico Estudiantil Peruana (SOCIMEP - Peruvian Medical Student Scientific Society) between 2017 and 2019, as well as the factors related to their publication. Materials and methods: An observational, cross-sectional, bibliometric, retrospective and secondary-source study based on the books of abstracts of papers presented at scientific conferences between 2017 and 2019. The data were analyzed with the Stata Statistical Software: Release 13 using descriptive statistics. In the multivariate analysis, prevalence ratios were calculated with a 95 % confidence interval and p < 0.05 in the crude and adjusted analyses. Results: From a total of 447 papers, 170 (38.0 %) were completed research studies, 168 (37.6 %) research protocols and 109 (24.4 %) case reports. In addition, ...

Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with depression in older adults in a marginal urban area of ​​Peru. Material and methods:  It is a cross-sectional analytical study in adults over 60 years of age in a marginal urban area of ​​Lima. The dependent variable was evaluated using the geriatric depression scale of 15 items, the presence of depression with a score ≥ 6 was considered. The factors associated with depression were calculated using raw and adjusted prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using poisson regressions with robust variance. Results: Of the 142 older adults with an average age and standard deviation was 70.4 ± 8.14. The prevalence of the presence of depression was 55.6% (women 39.6% and men 53.4%). The lack of schooling (RPa: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.04 - 1.88) and not working (RPa: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.09 - 2.05) were risk factors that ...

Objetive: Cardiovascular diseases that every year have more prevalence in the country, are the product of risky factors, many of them modifiable and preventable. The objective of the present study has been to know and analyze the factors of cardiovascular risk and determine the vascular age in the population of Lima. Material and methods: A descriptive cross sectional study, carried out in March 2016, in the southern, northern and eastern cones of Metropolitan Lima, in people older than 30 and younger than 75 years old. The survey structured for the study collected the following variables: gender, age, arterial hypertension, smoking, diabetes, physical activity and type of diet. Blood presure, weight and tall were recorded. Results: In total, 485 participants were included, 197 men and 288 women. The age was 49,5± 9,9 years old. The more frequent risky factor was the unhealthy diet (47,...
