Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a clinical entity that has been linked to several non-communicable diseases. There are various consensuses to determine its presence, such as the IDF, ALAD, Harmonized, AHA/NHLBI, NCEP-ATP III or AACE criteria. However, there is currently no standardization to properly identify it. Objective: To assess the diagnostic concordance between different criteria for MetS in Peruvian adults undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the institutional database of a bariatric clinic located in Lima, Peru. We obtained data from adults between 18–59 years who underwent bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass or Sleeve Gastrectomy). According to the Kappa coefficient, a heatplot was designed to analyze the concordance of the criteria. Results: An almost perfect concordance was found between all criteria except AACE. The h...

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of depression and abuse and identify the associatedfactors in medical interns in Peruvian hospitals.Methods: We conducted a multicentre, cross-sectional and analytical study during themonths of March to May 2016. We included medical interns from 18 Peruvian hospitals,in Lima and provinces. We used a survey that included sociodemographic data and a scaleto measure the perception of abuse (psychological, physical and sexual). In addition, weused the Spanish version of the PHQ-9 to evaluate depression. We used Poisson regressionwith robust variances to calculate prevalence ratios (PRs).Results: A total of 402 medical interns participated in the study, the median age was 25[IQR: 21–33], and 52.7% were male. Moreover, 25.4% of them suffered from depression. In theadjusted model, the variables associated with depression were age (PRa = 1.15), the numbero...
