Objectives: To evaluate both incidence and recurrence associated factors for cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sapillica district, Piura, during the period 2015-2023, considering a description of the population and lesion characteristics, as well as to evaluate the risk for recurrence per year and its associated factors. Materials and methods: A single retrospective cohort study was performed using information available in databases of positive cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis between 2015 and 2023; cases from other districts were excluded. Excel 2019 was used for data cleaning, Qgis 3.34 incidence calculation for geospatial distribution according to affected communities, and STATA 15.0 for variable frequency, recurrence risk, and the evaluation of factors associated with recurrence with a 95% confidence level. Results: We found 280 patients with 406 lesions; 61.43% were male, median age was 24...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy with diverse clinical presentations classified as clinical variants, about which little information is available in our region. Objective: To determine the epidemiologic characteristics and the clinic variants of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Material and Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study. The clinical records of the suspected cases of GBS in three hospitals in Piura (Northern Perú), between 2018 to 2019, were reviewed. Those with doubtful diagnosis or incomplete histories were excluded. Data were analysed through STATA vs 15.0. Results: Of 123 cases, 61% were male, with an average age of 37, and 36.59% had no previous clinical manifestations. The most frequent comorbidity was high blood pressure. Only 40% of the cases were confirmed. 78% were treated with immunoglobulin. The most frequent variant ...

Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio fue determinar los factores asociados a la percepción de problemas presentados en la consulta médica en cuatro ciudades del Perú. Material y métodos: Estudio multicéntrico, analítico y transversal, realizado entre mayo-junio del 2015, en sedes hospitalarios de cuatro ciudades peruanas (Lima, Ucayali, Piura e Ica). Se utilizó la escala PREMEPA para medir las características de la consulta médica, además, se consignó los datos del médico. El análisis estadístico buscó asociaciones y valores p, mediante los modelos lineales generalizados. Resultados: Fueron 804 encuestados, el 57% fueron mujeres (459), la edad promedio fue 45 años (rango de 26–59). Lima fue la ciudad con mayor frecuencia de problemas presentados durante la consulta externa (35%). En el análisis multivariado, disminuyó la frecuencia de problemas presentados durante la con...

Objetive: The aim of the study was to determine the factors associated with the perception of problems presented in medical consultation in four cities in Peru. Material and methods: Multicenter, analytic and transverse study, carried out between May and June 2015 in hospitals of four Peruvian cities (Lima, Ucayali, Piura and Ica). The PREMEPA scale was used to measure the characteristics of the medical consultation also medical data was recorded. Statistical analysis sought associations and p-values, through generalized linear models. Results: 804 people were surveyed. 57% were women (459); the average age was 45 years (range 26-59). Lima was the city with higher frequency of problems presented during external consultation (35%). In multivariate analysis, the frequency of problems presented during external consultation decreased with a better service (RPa: 0,7; IC95%: 0,6-3,09), better ...
