Estudia los factores asociados a mayor riesgo de mortalidad en niños menores de catorce años con leucemia linfoblástica aguda en el Hospital Alberto Sabogal Sologuren. Para el estudio se utilizó una metodología de tipo observacional, descriptiva, transversal y retrospectiva. La población estuvo constituida por pacientes menores de catorce años con diagnóstico de leucemia que fallecieron en el año 2016 estando hospitalizados en la Unidad de Hematología Pediátrica del Hospital Alberto Sabogal Sologuren. La muestra fue no probabilística, censal accidental; con registro en historia clínica de todos los pacientes pediátricos con diagnóstico de LLA que hayan fallecido durante su hospitalización. Se utilizaron como instrumentos de recolección de datos fichas de recolección de datos. Los datos fueron recabados y ordenados en software. Se utilizaron estadísticas de correlación...

Objectives: To determine the correlation between FSH levels and the decrease in bone mineral density in perimenopausal women. Design: Case-control study. Setting: Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza, Lima, Peru. Patients: Perimenopausal women. Methods: Clinical charts of 114 perimenopausal women attending Gynecology office A Hospital Arzobispo Loayza, during September 2007 through September 2009 were reviewed. Cases consisted in 38 perimenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis and controls by 76 perimenopausal women with normal bone mineral density. Analysis was performed with SPSS v.17 program. Main outcome measures: Correlation of FSH levels and decreased bone density. Results: We found an estimated incidence of 30.7% for osteopenia and 2.6% for osteoporosis. Patients with FSH levels >40 mUI/mL showed 5 times more  risk of developing osteopenia than those with FSH <25 mUI/ mL (O...
