Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the association between Red Blood cell Distribution width and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: We conducted a hospital-based case-control study. Adult patients (≥ 18 years old) with the diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy who underwent medical check-ups at the ophthalmology department where enrolled in our study. We selected a total sample size of 262 patients, of which 131 cases had Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy and 131 controls had Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. Data about age, gender, body mass index, history of hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, Congestive heart failure, Hemoglobin and HbA1c were registered for individuals who met inclusion criteria. Odds ratio model was used to test the relationship between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and Proliferative Diabetic Re...

Objectives: to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life and bronchial asthma in the pediatric population at the National Police Hospital in 2016.  Materials and methods: an analytical observational study of cases and controls was not matched. ratio 1 case for 3 controls, with a total of 53 cases and 159 controls, a simple random probability sampling was performed, with a retrospective collection for the variables exclusive breastfeeding, Prematurity, sex and age. A bivariate and multiple logistic regression model was performed to obtain the Odds Ratio for the strength of association. Results: being 24.53% and 44.65% exclusive breastfeeding for cases and controls, a statistically significant difference was found (p = 0.009). By multiple logistic regression analysis exclusive breastfeeding (OR 0.41, p = 0.014, IC 0.20-0.84) show...
