Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados a deterioro cognitivo (DC) en adultos mayores de 65 años de edad en el Hospital José Agurto Tello de Chosica (Lima-Perú) en el año 2019. Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, cuantitativo, analítico de tipo transversal. Para la detección de deterioro cognitivo se empleó el Test de Pfeiffer. Se recogieron datos demográficos y clínicos, se realizó una evaluación cognitiva, afectiva, funcional, nutricional y social, de los pacientes incluidos en el estudio con escalas valoradas. Se obtuvieron medidas de frecuencia, de asociación y de significancia estadística entre la variable dependiente DC y las variables independientes. Se calcularon OR con IC al 95%, considerándose un valor p<0.05 como estadísticamente significativo. Resultados: de 272 pacientes estudiados, con deterioro y sin deterioro. Según el análisis ...

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...
