to identify risk factors for falls in hospitalized adult patients.
A mudança das instituições hospitalares verificada internacionalmente envolve particularmente os Hospitais Universitários (HU). O presente artigo objetiva promover uma reflexão acerca de desafios dos HU brasileiros. texto atém-se à análise daqueles hospitais vinculados às Instituições Federais Ensino Superior. Há substantiva heterogeneidade entre HU, envolvendo desde perfis assistenciais, porte e modelos gestão. No Brasil, são agentes nucleares duas políticas Estado - educação saúde. É no...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the main cause of lower respiratory tract illness in children worldwide. Molecular analyses show two distinct RSV groups (A and B) that comprise different genotypes. This variability contributes to capacity yearly outbreaks. These genotypes circulate within community hospital wards. currently leading nosocomial infections pediatric populations. The aim this study was evaluate G protein gene diversity amplicons. Nasopharyngeal aspirate samples were...
Abstract Resilience plays a key role in desired outcomes of socio‐technical systems. However, the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM), which has been main modeling tool light resilience engineering, does not make explicit resilience. This paper addresses this gap by proposing new procedures for development FRAM models outcomes. They are: (i) active search functions that display resilient performance; (ii) assessment frequency at function output is expected to occur same way as it...
Although the COVID pandemic has challenged resilience of health services in general, this impact been most visible intensive care units (ICUs). This paper presents an exploratory study how ICUs Brazil have coped with complexity stemming from pandemic. Five guidelines for coping were adopted as analytical framework. The concerned slack resources, diversity perspectives, visibility, work-as-done, and unintended consequences. There three main sources data: (i) a survey respondents 33 ICUs,...
To develop and validate a predictive model for falls in hospitalized adult clinical surgical patients, assessing intrinsic (i.e. patient-related) extrinsic factors care process-related).To identify of enable appropriate management fall risk it is necessary to understand patient environmental factors, along with delivery processes.A matched case-control study.This study was conducted the medical wards Brazilian teaching hospital. The sample included 536 data collected 2013-2014. Data analysis...
The study aimed to analyze suspected adverse drug reactions reported Brazil's pharmacovigilance system (Notivisa-medicamento) from 2008 2013. This was a descriptive whose analytical units in the database were reports and drug-adverse pairs. A total of 26,554 identified, for reporting rate 22.8/million inhabitants/year. Reports female patients prevailed (60.5%), as did white color/race (58.1%). Age ranged 0 112 years (median = 46 years). Nearly one-third (32.5%) occurred vulnerable...
Viruses are major contributors to acute respiratory infection-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. The influenza (IF) viruses human syncytial virus (RSV) play a particularly important role in the etiology of infections. This study sought standardize one-step duplex real-time RT-PCR technique optimize diagnosis IFA/IFB RSVA/RSVB infection. Viral RNA was extracted with commercially available QIAamp Mini Kit according manufacturer instructions. performed primers matrix protein gene IFA,...
ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the patient profile, mortality rates, accuracy of prognostic scores, and mortality-associated factors in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) a general hospital Brazil. Methods: This was cohort study involving clinical laboratory diagnosis CAP requiring admission to public interior Brazil between March 2014 April 2015. We performed multivariate analysis using Poisson regression model robust variance identify associated in-hospital mortality....
Fazer o melhor uso das evidências disponíveis sobre medicamentos e terapias não farmacológicas no contexto da pandemia COVID-19 é fundamental para minimizar os sofrimentos salvar vidas. Este debate objetivou apresentar considerações conceito de evidência, hierarquia tipos científicas, buscando aplicação COVID-19, que tange ao prevenção tratamento doença. Inicialmente, fizemos uma breve introdução tema, destacando a existência dúvidas quanto vários medicamentos, bem como se aqueles combater...
To estimate the incidence of lipid and glucose abnormalities assess their association with exposure to antiretroviral (ARV) regimens among perinatally HIV-infected Latin American children.Longitudinal cohort study.Data were analyzed from Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute Child Health Human Development International Site Initiative Pediatric Countries Epidemiologic Study. The dyslipidemia [total cholesterol >200 mg/dL, HDL < 35 LDL ≥ 130 triglycerides > 110 mg/dL (age 10 years) or...
Introduction This study reports the pediatric epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza (IF), parainfluenza (PIV), and adenovirus (ADV) at Hospital de Clínicas Porto Alegre. Methods Cases infection, hospitalizations in intensive care units (ICUs), nosocomial infections, lethality rates were collected from 2007 to 2010. Results RSV accounted for most infections. Intensive admission ADV infections highest During 2008-2009, H1N1 had ICU rates. fatality rate during 2007-2009....

Realizou-se um estudo avaliação em corte transversal, entre 2008 e 2013, empregou oito previstos diretrizes sistemas vigilância da pública (simplicidade, aceitabilidade, representatividade, completude, validade, consistência, erro preditivo...
The article presents some considerations about causality in Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacovigilance. To begin, we provide a brief introduction the importance of issue, noting that understanding causal relationships is considered one science's greatest achievements has been, over time, continuous central concern philosophers epidemiologists. Next, describe definitions types causes, demonstrating their influences on pharmacoepidemiological thought. After that, present Rothman's multi-causal...

We simulate the impact of school reopening during COVID-19 pandemic in three major urban centers Brazil to identify epidemiological indicators and best timing for return in-school activities effect contact tracing as a mitigation measure. Our goal is offer guidelines evidence-based policymaking. implement an extended SEIR model stratified by age considering networks different settings – school, home, work, community, which infection transmission rate affected various intervention measures....
Developing countries have experienced significant COVID-19 disease burden. With the emergence of new variants, particularly omicron, burden in children has increased. When first vaccine was approved for use aged 5-11 years age, very few recommended vaccination due to limited risk-benefit evidence this population. In Brazil, ranking second global death toll, childhood increased significantly early 2022. This prompted a assessment introduction and scaling-up children.
