To date, there has been limited exploration, particularly on a national scale, of the prevalence patterns comorbidities and complications associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Colombia. We aimed to analyze disease-related RA patients enrolled Colombia's contributory healthcare regime. performed nationwide observational descriptive cross-sectional study using administrative claims data. used set sensitive specific electronic algorithms (i.e., rules) applied linked data based ICD-10...
Introducción: Existe un vacío conceptual sobre la realización temprana de confirmación genética para Atrofia Muscular Espinal (AME). Se propone, por medio panel Delphi modificado, algoritmo que oriente pragmáticamente al personal salud, en identificación los signos y síntomas AME 5q tipos 1 a 3, con el fin incrementar rendimiento diagnóstico, clínico molecular. Materiales Métodos: Utilizando tres expertos amplia experiencia clínica, investigativa docente desarrollaron 13 casos, teniendo como...
Background The effect of teaching hospital status on cardiovascular surgery has been common interest in recent decades, yet its magnitude heart valve replacement is still a matter debate. Given the ethical and practical unfeasibility randomly assigning patient to such an exposure, we use inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) assess this marginal survival Colombian patients who underwent first between 2016 2019. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted based administrative...
Abstract Objectives Assessing disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients requires comprehensive quantification of tender and swollen joints. We aimed to evaluate the correlation agreement between rheumatologists after a training session dedicated standardization synovitis assessment compare its performance with reference imaging modality such as musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS). Methods In this cross-sectional study, total 28 10 joints RA were evaluated by physical...
Abstract Despite promising results, reimplantation appears to have fallen into oblivion among the multiple possible approaches for repairing anomalous coronary arteries. We describe outcomes of 12 patients with an right artery originating from opposite sinus Valsalva interarterial course who were surgically treated this technique between 2018 and 2023 in 2 institutions Bogota, Colombia. provide preliminary evidence value as a more than suitable technique, particularly resource-constrained...
Abstract Agreement to participate in case–control studies has become low. Healthy participant bias resulting from differential response proportions cases and controls can distort results; however, the magnitude of is difficult assess. We investigated effect a large population-based study on breast cancer, with participation rate 43.4% 64.1% for cases, respectively. performed mortality follow-up 2020 3813 7335 recruited during 2002-2005. Standardized ratios (SMRs) overall selected causes...
Background Treatments for catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) rose from recommendations and consensus of international experts based on case series or reports. We aimed to evaluate the treatment scheme with best cost-effectiveness ratio associated lower mortality as a high-impact clinical benefit. Methods The CAPS Registry was used our source structured data different therapeutic strategies, their frequency, effectiveness (survival). Starting around 50 schemes, we identified those...
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by autoantibody formation and expansion such as the rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), antinuclear (ANA). Autoantibody identification has been considered crucial not only for diagnosis but also its eventual association with disease activity, to extent of playing a pivotal role poor prognostic among patients 1 . Objectives: Our aim was assess between certain clinical-epidemiological factors presenting...
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by cartilage and bone destruction, which can lead to joint dysfunction disability. Antibodies’ role as biomarkers in RA has been recently increasing: Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are the most specific one (60–70% of cases); whereas rheumatoid factor (RF) seen nearly 70% cases, however, it less than ACPA for diagnosis i . ACPA/RF positivity related more severe phenotype rapid...
