Postpartum depression is a common condition in the pregnancy and postpartum cycle. The development of this multifactorial can be influenced by previous traumas. This study sought to verify whether there an association between having been exposed mistreatment during childbirth presenting symptoms suggestive depression.
O Inventário de Depressão Beck (BDI), uma escala que mede o traço latente intensidade sintomas depressivos, pode ser avaliado através da Teoria Resposta ao Item (TRI). Este estudo utilizou modelo TRI Gradual na avaliação depressivos 4.025 indivíduos responderam BDI, modo a explorar eficientemente informação disponível nos diferentes aspectos possibilitados pelo uso desta metodologia. ajuste foi efetuado no software PARSCALE. Foram identificados 13 itens do BDI quais menos categoria resposta...
Nas próximas edições da seção de Bioestatística revista Clinical & Biomedical Research uma nova série artigos será publicada abordando um assunto grande importância ao planejar pesquisa: o tamanho amostra mínimo necessário para atingir os objetivos do estudo. Nessa apresenta como calcular usando a ferramenta PSS Health ( Power and Sample Size for Researchers) , construído em linguagem R por meio pacote Shiny, diferentes tipos e estudo, direcionado à pesquisadores área saúde, utilizando...
Before the pandemic, healthcare systems in Low-Middle Income Countries (LMIC) experienced a limited capacity to treat postoperative complications. It is uncertain whether interference of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on surgical has increased mortality. This before and after cohort study aimed assess pandemic's impact in-hospital mortality university COVID-19 reference hospital southern Brazil. Data from patients who underwent surgery (January 2018 December 2019) were compared data during...
Ascertaining which patients are at highest risk of poor postoperative outcomes could improve care and enhance safety. This study aimed to construct validate a propensity index for 30-day mortality. A retrospective cohort was conducted Hospital de Clínicas Porto Alegre, Brazil, over period 3 years. dataset 13524 used develop the model another 7254 it. The primary outcome in-hospital Overall mortality in development 2.31% [n = 311; 95% confidence interval: 2.06–2.56%]. Four variables were...
ObjectiveTo evaluate the degree of knowledge about pain management and opioids use by professionals working at three pediatric units.
Brazil is the fourth largest producer and exporter of pork in world, but has never reported yet occurrence some economically important diseases such as porcine reproductive respiratory syndrome (PRRS) epidemic diarrhea (PED). Most swine farms are characterized by intensive production being part large integrated companies, where biosecurity practices help to prevent introduction spread disease-causing infectious agents. The assessment not straightforward because number that constitute an...
Summary Mortality and morbidity for high‐risk surgical patients are often high, especially in low‐resource settings. Enhanced peri‐operative care has the potential to reduce preventable deaths but must be designed meet local needs. This before‐and‐after cohort study aimed assess effectiveness of a postoperative 48‐hour enhanced pathway (‘high‐risk bundle’) who did not criteria elective admission intensive care. The comprised six elements: risk identification communication; adoption...
The escalation of surgeries for high-risk patients in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) lacks evidence on the positive impact Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission universal criteria allocation. This study explores link between postoperative ICU allocation mortality within a LMIC. Additionally, it assesses Ex-Care risk model's utility guiding decisions.
The objective of this study is to assess group differences in symptom reduction between individuals receiving cognitive behavioral therapy (G-CBT) and attention bias modification (ABM) compared their respective control interventions, (CT), training (ACT), a 2 × factorial design.A total 310 treatment-naive children (7-11 years age) were assessed for eligibility 79 with generalized, separation or social anxiety disorder randomized received G-CBT (n = 42) CT 37). Within each psychotherapy...
We present the performance of a new instrument developed to measure height patients in bed (Luft Ruler).Standing was gold standard measured 116 hospitalized adults with stadiometer, compared measurements from Luft Ruler and calculated estimates.Using women, men, <60 years old, >60 mean difference was, respectively, 1.5 cm (P= .02), 1.3 .06), 1.2 .07), 1.6 .02); total arm span: 6.7 cm, 7.7 5.4 9.0 (P< .01 for all strata); 2x half 7.8 10.2 10.3 all); World Health Organization (WHO) equation:...
Background: Preoperative stress might influence postoperative pain, thereby, it is desirable to assess more precisely. Thus, we developed and evaluated the psychometric properties of a brief measure emotional preoperative (B-MEPS) index using Item Response Category Characteristic Curves. We validated assessed whether B-MEPS can predict moderate intense acute pain (MIAPP).MethodsWe included 863 adult patients who underwent elective surgeries (ASA I-III physical status). The was constructed...
Background Preoperative patients' vulnerabilities such as physical, social, and psychological are implicated in postoperative pain variability. Nevertheless, it is a challenge to analyze patient's profile the preoperative period practical consistent way. Thus, we sought identify if high emotional stress, evaluated by Brief Measure of Emotional Stress (B-MEPS) scale associated with higher levels poor rehabilitation patients submitted intermediate or major surgery. Moreover, possible...

The objective of this study was to structure a proposal for an instrument measure the mistreatment level women during childbirth, through item response theory, based on birth experience postpartum women. A cross-sectional conducted, with inclusion 287 who did not suffer complications randomly selected from two maternity hospitals in capital Rio Grande do Sul—Brazil, 2016. Approximately 30 days after delivery, answered questions face-to-face interview about their (practices and interventions...

Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is an inflammatory complication caused by a dysregulated immune response to Mycobacterium leprae. Some Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been identified as capable of recognizing antigens from M. leprae, triggering wide antimicrobial and response. Genetic polymorphisms in these could influence the appearance ENL well its treatment. Thus, objective this work was evaluate association genetic variants TLRs genes with treatment thalidomide prednisone. A total 162...
INTRODUÇÃO: Diversos estudos mostram o Funcionamento Diferencial do Item (DIF) em itens Inventário de Depressão Beck (BDI), ao compararem homens e mulheres. A presença um grande número com DIF no BDI é uma severa ameaça à validade da medida intensidade sintomas depressivos obtida pela Teoria Resposta (TRI) às conclusões baseadas nos escores derivados dos sem DIF. OBJETIVO: Os objetivos deste estudo foram identificar esses BDI, ajustar modelo TRI para constrangedores (modelo 2), qual acomoda...
