Background: Traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) often triggers a systemic inflammatory response and arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most frequent arrhythmia, is linked with systemic inflammation, increasing cardiovascular mortality risk twofold.
Methods: This study explores the link between traumatic ICH and AF through a case study of a 70-year-old female with traumatic brain injury (TBI) leading to AF. Comprehensive clinical assessments, imaging, and laboratory tests were conducted to understand the relationship between TBI, ICH, and AF.
Results: The patient showed altered sensorium and irregular heart rhythm post-trauma. Imaging identified a subdural hematoma with mass effect and midline shift, along with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Initial ECG indicated AF with rapid ventricular response. Treatment with IV anti-arrhythmics and osmotic diuretics stabilized heart rhythm and reduced intracranial pressure (ICP). A subsequent ECG showed a return to normal sinus rhythm.
Conclusions: Findings suggest traumatic ICH significantly raises AF risk, likely due to systemic inflammation and elevated ICP. This underscores the necessity of vigilant cardiac monitoring in TBI patients. Further research should clarify the mechanisms connecting TBI, ICH, and AF to develop effective management strategies.
KEY WORDS: Intracranial hemorrhage(ICH), Atrial Fibrillation(AF), Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI),Intracranial Pressure(ICP),Subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).
Integrating HCI Principles in AI: A Review of Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Applications and Challenges
Authors: Sharma Shristi , Shrestha Sushil
Published: December 2024

This review explores the integration of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) principles in AI to advance Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI). It highlights how these fields intersect to create user-friendly AI systems that enhance human capabilities and align with human values. Given the recent interest of HCI in user-centered design and AI in technical innovation, this paper bridges this divide by infusing principles from HCI into AI systems. Relevant peer-reviewed articles, conference papers, and case studies have been selected from leading databases like IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, encompassing publications from 2017 to 2024. The inclusion criteria for the review focus on interdisciplinary approaches, real-world applications, and challenges of HCAI, while studies that do not have a clear methodology or lack relevance to HCAI were excluded. This paper identifies some of the key gaps, highlights the successful applications of HCAI across healthcare, edu-cation, and entertainment, and discusses various challenges that have arisen, such as bias, transparency, and balancing automation with human control. Findings reveal that iterative design and hu-man-centered frameworks will lead to better usability and ethical fit for HCAI, but significant challenges remain. This study proposes an integrative framework for bringing HCI principles into AI design through interdisciplinary collaboration in developing systems that will enhance human capabilities while considering ethical aspects. Future directions include responsible AI, personalized healthcare, and effective human-AI collaboration.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between human rights in sports and organisational virtuousness levels of academicians working in the field of sports sciences and staff empowerment. The study group of the research consisted of a total of 335 participants (63 females and 272 males) working in various universities of Turkey. To determine the current situation, the model of the research is a relational survey method. In this study, Human Rights Attitude Scale in Sport (HRASS) developed by Sadık (2014), Organisational Virtuousness Scale (OVS) developed by Cameron et al., (2004) and adapted into Turkish by Erkmen and Esen (2012), and Employee Empowerment Scale (EES) developed by Spreitzer (1995) and adapted into Turkish by Sürvegil et al., were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, T-Test, Post Hoc Test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation and Linear Regression Analysis methods were used in addition to descriptive statistics on data with thinned normality distribution. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the participants' Human Rights Attitudes in Sports, Organizational Virtue, and Employee Empowerment levels were above the average scores. Considering the average scores of the participants, it can be stated that the results are supported by the literature. In addition to a low positive significant relationship between HRASS and OVS, a moderate positive relationship was found between HRASS and EES. Additionally, a low-level positive relationship was detected between the participants' OVS and EES. A statistically significant relationship was detected between HRASS, OVS and EES, and it was determined that human rights and organizational virtue in sports had a 15% explanation power of employee empowerment. As a result, it can be stated that academicians' human rights in sports and organizational virtuousness levels positively affect employee empowerment.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine the effects of 4-week combined blood flow restriction - TheraBand training on functional capacity and quality of life in healthy individuals aged 55-65 years. A total of 24 women aged 55-65 participated in the study voluntarily. Participants were divided into three groups consisting of 8 people: TheraBand group (TG), blood flow restriction+TheraBand group (BFR+TG), and control group (CG). Participants were administered a 30-second sit-to-stand chair test, a 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and Modified Borg Scale (MBS) for quality of life. In intra-group comparisons, both the Borg scale and 6MWT showed statistically significant improvements favouring the final test in TG and BFR+TG groups (p= 0.05). Inter-group comparisons revealed that the BFR+TG group exhibited higher improvement compared to the other groups. Significant differences favouring the final test were also observed in the intra-group comparison of the 30-second sit-to-stand test in TG and BFR+TG groups (p= 0.05), with the BFR+TG group showing higher improvement compared to the CG in inter-group comparisons. Moreover, no statistically significant differences were found in intra-group and inter-group comparisons of quality of life (p= 0.05). In conclusion, it can be recommended that lower-intensity strength training with TheraBands, combined with BFR where possible, be applied to elderly individuals instead of high-intensity strength training and, if possible, use the BFR method in these training.

ATENDIMENTO PEDAGÓGICO DOMICILIAR OU HOSPITALAR: a experiência do município de Juiz de Fora/ MG
Authors: Alvim Tamires , Lauro Bianca
Published: December 2024

O atendimento pedagógico domiciliar ou hospitalar caracteriza-se pela impossibilidade do estudante frequentar presencialmente o ambiente escolar por determinada enfermidade, conforme CID declarado por médico. Desse modo, o presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o atendimento pedagógico domiciliar ou hospitalar na rede municipal de Juiz de Fora/MG, a partir dos dados levantados nos anos de 2021, 2022, 2023 e 2024.  As perspectivas teóricas de Paulo Freire (1996), Antônio Nóvoa (2019) e as legislações brasileiras embasam a discussão do presente artigo. É possível constatar que no decorrer dessa trajetória, a qual realizamos um recorte (2021 a 2024),  houve um aumento significativo dos estudantes atendidos na modalidade do atendimento pedagógico domiciliar  no município. É notório o quanto a rede municipal de Juiz de Fora avançou na garantia dos direitos dos estudantes que necessitam  do atendimento pedagógico domiciliar, entretanto há um caminho longo a ser percorrido. A articulação entre diferentes órgãos e instituições  para que a modalidade  seja  garantida e realizada com qualidade ao estudante ainda é um desafio.
TEMORES, LITERATURAS E INFÂNCIAS: o que pode uma educação infantil a partir da criança?
Authors: Jesus Alan Willian de Jesus
Published: December 2024

À luz do pensamento complexo (Morin, 2007) como referencial teórico e a investigação narrativa (Connelly; Clandinin, 2008) como o caminho metodológico, este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre os implícitos que orbitam o tema da morte na Educação Infantil, nos possibilitando repensar a forma como concebemos a criança, as infâncias e a literatura. Perguntamos o que pode uma educação infantil a partir da criança? Nossas reflexões filosóficas-educacionais sinalizam que compreender o paradigma reducionista e fragmentador que estamos imersos é um exercício de questionar a lógica curricular prescritiva, se deslocando para concepções e práticas de um currículo narrativo (Goodson, 2019) que considera a Oralidade e a Leitura e Escrita na Educação Infantil, e que pensa a criança real contextualizada na multidimensionalidade da realidade, fazendo emergir os Campos de Experiências e nossas metamorfoses pedagógicas no ato de educar.

Published: December 2024

AIM: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The role of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in conjunction with surgical intervention is becoming increasingly prominent in the field of oncology. NAT enhance the probability of breast-conserving surgery in cases of locally advanced breast cancer and in patients with metastatic or inoperable disease.   
METHODS: The study included patients who underwent surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer between 2012 and 2022. Their files were retrospectively analyzed. The following parameters were examined and statistically analyzed for patients with and without pathological complete response: age, gender, tumor size, location, stage, pathological type, grade, hormone receptor status, molecular type, and the type of surgery performed.   
RESULTS: The study cohort comprised 329 patients who received NAT for breast cancer. Of the patients included in the study, 243 underwent mastectomy and 86 underwent breast-conserving surgery. A postoperative histopathologic examination revealed pathologic complete response (pCR) in 89 patients. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that certain parameters, including high grade, negative hormone receptor status, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positivity, Ki-67 ≥30, and early tumor stage, were associated with higher rates of pCR following NAT.   
CONCLUSIONS: The biomarkers identified in this study, including hormone receptor negativity, anatomical Tumour, Node, Metastasis (TNM) Stages 1–2 tumors, positive HER2 amplification, Ki-67 proliferation ≥30%, luminal B/HER2 (+) and HER2 (+) molecular subtypes, are crucial in predicting the likelihood of a complete response to NAT in breast cancer. The presence of these clinicopathologic biomarkers facilitates the process of therapeutic decision-making by identifying patients who are likely to achieve a complete response.
Establishing a Novel Animal Model of Tricuspid Regurgitation by Self-expanding Stent
Authors: Xu Peng , Feng Weizhong , Jiang Yinhao , Xu Haixia , Zhou Junqing
Published: December 2024

AIM: To establish a simple, safe, and reproducible animal model of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). 
METHODS: A self-expanding stent made of nickel-titanium shape memory metal alloy was developed. Ten white pigs were randomized into an experimental group (n = 7) and a control group (n = 3). TR was induced by an interventional procedure by implanting a self-expanding stent via the internal jugular vein (IJV) to open the tricuspid valve in the experimental group. The pigs in the control group underwent the same procedure without stent implantation. Echocardiography was performed preoperatively and at 1 month and 3 months postoperatively to assess cardiac function and structure modification. 
RESULTS: Echocardiography displayed enlargement of the right atrium (RA) and tricuspid annulus, as well as reduced right heart function in the experimental group. Additionally, the TR area (p < 0.01), TR/RA (p < 0.01), RA (p < 0.05), and tricuspid annulus (p < 0.01) were significantly higher at 1 month or 3 months postoperatively compared with preoperative values. Likewise, right ventricular Tei index (RVTei) (p < 0.05) was significantly increased. However, right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC) (p < 0.05), and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (p < 0.05) were decreased, indicating impaired right heart function. Moreover, no significant changes were noted in the body weight of white pigs. All pigs survived, validating the successful establishment of the TR model. Notably, both the success rate and the survival rate were 100% in the experimental group. However, right heart remodeling was observed in the experimental group. Finally, no significant changes were detected in the control group before and after the operation. 
CONCLUSIONS: Self-expanding stent implantation via IJV is a simple and easy-to-manipulate approach for constructing an animal model of TR, which is suitable for exploring right ventricular remodeling.

Authors: Chen Xiaoping , Wang Zi , Ge Yali , Gao Ju , Yang Liuqing
Published: December 2024

AIM: Intraoperative lung-protective ventilation strategies (LPVS) have been shown to improve lung oxygenation and prevent postoperative pulmonary problems in surgical patients. However, the application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-based LPVS in emergency traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not been thoroughly explored. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of drive pressure-guided individualized PEEP on perioperative pulmonary oxygenation, postoperative pulmonary complications, and recovery from neurological injury in patients with TBI. 
METHODS: A total of 111 TBI patients who met the inclusion criteria at Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital were randomized into three groups: group A (0 PEEP, 50% inhaled oxygen concentration, and 6 mL/kg tidal volume), group B (5 cmH2O PEEP, 50% inhaled oxygen concentration, and 6 mL/kg tidal volume), and group C (individualized PEEP guided by driving pressure, 50% inhaled oxygen concentration, and 6 mL/kg tidal volume). The primary endpoints were lung ultrasound score (LUS), optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), and serum levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and High mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1). Secondary endpoints included intraoperative hemodynamic and respiratory mechanics parameters, postoperative pulmonary complications, and clinical lung infection scores. 
RESULTS: Eighty-nine patients completed the final analysis. LUS was significantly lower in group C compared to group A at T4 (least square mean [95% confidence interval (CI)]: 2.50 [1.35, 3.65] vs. 5.25 [4.10, 6.40], p < 0.05). Although ONSD increased gradually in group C, it did not differ substantially from group A postoperatively (least square mean [95% CI]: 5.09 [4.90, 5.27] vs 5.16 [4.97, 5.34] mm, p > 0.05). Serum NSE levels in group C were significantly lower on postoperative days 1 (4.40 [3.89, 4.41] vs. 10.95 [10.44, 11.46], p < 0.05) and 3 (2.79 [2.28, 3.30] vs. 10.95 [10.44, 11.46], p < 0.05). Additionally, serum HMGB1 levels in group C were significantly reduced on postoperative days 1 (229 [200, 258] vs. 662 [633, 691], p < 0.05) and 3 (166 [137, 195] vs. 662 [633, 691], p < 0.05). 
CONCLUSIONS: Individualized PEEP guided by driving pressure can improve perioperative pulmonary oxygenation and reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. Furthermore, this strategy did not significantly elevate intraoperative intracranial pressure (ICP) and promoted recovery from postoperative neurological injury, likely by reducing the inflammatory response.

Jaw Growth and Development in Class II Division I Malocclusion Children Using the Myobrace® Muscle Function Appliance
Authors: He Meiying , Hu Wenqi , Zhang Yan , Jiang Weijie
Published: December 2024

AIM: Class II Division I malocclusion is common in pediatric orthodontics, and is often associated with malocclusion and poor muscle functionality. However, research on post-treatment changes in maxillomandibular dimensions, excluding normal development influences, is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of Myobrace® appliance and targeted muscle functional training on maxillomandibular dimensions in children with Class II Division I malocclusion, compared to directed oral muscle training alone. 
METHODS: This retrospective study included 96 children with Class II Division I malocclusion. Based on the treatment method, the patients were divided into two groups: the treatment group (patients who underwent treatment with the Myobrace® muscle function appliance combined with directed muscle functional training for one year) and the control group (patients who received only directive oral muscle training for one year). The growth changes in jaws in both groups were assessed through X-ray cephalometry and plaster casting. 
RESULTS: The Sella-Nasion to A point angle (SNA) had increased (p > 0.05), and the maxilla length increased, with significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.05). Furthermore, after intervention, there was a significant increase in mandibular length (p < 0.05). There was a slight decrease in the S-Co value indicating the position of the mandibula. However, this change was not significant, indicating that the mandibula didn't move forward after treatment. The angle between the Frankfort Horizontal Plane and mandibular planes (MP-FH) increased after treatment (p > 0.05), and there were increasing trends on the Y axis, posterior heights, and anterior heights, and these changes were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Additionally, we observed a significant increase in the dental arch (p < 0.05) in the treatment group compared to the control group. This finding suggested that the Myobrace® appliance can promote dental arch growth. 
CONCLUSIONS: Myobrace® appliance effectively boosts dental arch growth while correcting Class II Division I malocclusion. However, it may be limited in cases of Class II Division I with high-angle, maxillary protrusion, or severe mandibular retrusion, emphasizing the significance of assessing patient characteristics to ensure optimal improvement.
The Long-Term Prognostic Outcomes of Emergent Colon Cancer Surgery: A Single-Center Experience
Authors: Yazıcı Hilmi , Esmer Ahmet Cem , Vila Frenki , Yeğen Cumhur
Published: December 2024

AIM: Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the second most diagnosed and third most deadly cancer worldwide. Despite advances in early diagnosis and treatment, CRC remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Up to 30% of CRC patients are diagnosed during emergency department visits, leading to surgical procedures that may not adhere to oncological principles due to complications like obstruction, bleeding, or perforation. This study aims to compare postoperative complications and long-term oncological outcomes between emergent and elective colon cancer surgeries.   
METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent surgery for colonic adenocarcinoma from January 2018 to December 2021. Patients included were those diagnosed with colonic adenocarcinoma, excluding those under 18 years old or with other pathological results. Patients were examined under the elective and emergent surgery groups. The study investigated demographic data, tumor localization, operation type, postoperative complications, and long-term oncological outcomes. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to perform multivariate analysis in order to identify prognostic variables for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).   
RESULTS: A total of 318 patients were included, with 62 undergoing emergent surgery and 256 undergoing elective surgery. Patient demographics were similar between the groups. The emergent surgery group had a significantly lower OS rate at 50 months compared to the elective surgery group (51% vs. 62%, p = 0.002). DFS at 50 months was also lower for the emergent surgery group compared to the elective surgery group (43% vs. 59%), but this difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.202). Independent poor prognostic factors included stage N, stage M, tumor diameter, neural invasion, and emergent surgery status.   
CONCLUSIONS: Emergency surgery for colon cancer is associated with poor long-term outcomes due to shorter OS and DFS, highlighting the need for increased awareness and screening to reduce emergency colon cancer surgery.
Unveiling the Masquerade: Early Gastric Cancer Mimicking Advanced Disease with Ectopic Pancreas Intrusion
Authors: Zucchini Valentina , Solaini Leonardo , Morgagni Paolo , Gibiino Giulia , Sbrancia Monica , Fabbri Carlo , Saragoni Luca , Ercolani Giorgio
Published: December 2024

Gastric cancer is a significant health concern worldwide, and its diagnosis and management are of paramount importance. Ectopic pancreas (EP) refers to an embryological abnormality where healthy pancreatic tissue develops without anatomical, vascular, or neural communication with the normal pancreas. We report the case of a patient whose initial endoscopic evaluation suggested early gastric cancer, but computed tomography scan (CT scan) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) indicated a locally advanced tumor. After a collegial evaluation and in accordance with the main diagnostic suspect, the patient underwent laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Histopathological analysis post-surgery revealed an early-stage T1b gastric cancer coexisting with ectopic pancreatic tissue. The presence of ectopic pancreas in the stomach is a rare but noteworthy entity, often presenting a diagnostic challenge due to its varied clinical and histological features. Our case report aims to shed light on this condition by presenting a detailed clinical case, including clinical presentation, imaging findings, histological features, and treatment outcomes. Always improving our endoscopic practice and seeking an early diagnosis is the way to avoid post-staging surprises and misdiagnoses.

Published: December 2024

AIM: This study had two aims: to analyze surgical patients with mediastinal cysts and masses according to clinical, histopathological, and surgical types; and compare the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on these cases. 
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 132 patients who had undergone surgical intervention for mediastinal cysts and masses. Demographic, clinical, and histopathologic data were recorded. Patients were divided into two groups based on their preference for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and other surgical methods. Patients who had undergone surgery during and before the COVID-19 pandemic were also compared. 
RESULTS: Lesions were detected incidentally in 56 patients (42.4%). The lesions were most commonly located in the anterior mediastinum (n = 86, 65.2%), while the most common pathology was found to be thymoma (n = 47, 35.6%). VATS was the most preferred method of operation (n = 36, 27.3%). The duration of hospital stay was observed to be statistically significantly shorter in patients who underwent VATS (p = 0.016). After the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidental incidence of mediastinal cysts and masses was significantly higher (p = 0.005). 
CONCLUSIONS: The incidental detection rate of operated mediastinal cysts and masses increased after the COVID-19 pandemic. It is suggested that this study act a starting point for investigating the impact of the pandemic on mediastinal cysts and masses.

AIM: This research aimed to evaluate the long-term survival rates and relapse-free status of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with peritoneal metastases who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). The data are expected to provide valuable insights for determining therapeutic options for these patients.   
METHODS: PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, Ovid, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched from inception to 1 August 2023, without language restrictions. The primary outcomes of interest were overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival/disease-free survival (RFS/DFS), while the secondary outcome was complications. Fourteen studies were included in both qualitative and quantitative analyses.   
RESULTS: Analyses of the 14 included publications (10 cohort studies and 4 randomized controlled trials) indicated significantly higher OS and RFS/DFS rates in the CRS + HIPEC group compared to the control group regimens.   
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with peritoneal metastases following a diagnosis of CRC may have improved survival outcomes when treated with CRS + HIPEC.

AIM: To explore the effectiveness and safety of Osborne's ligament suspension and ulnar nerve anterior transposition (OLSUNAT) in conjunction with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for managing cubital tunnel syndrome (CTS). 
METHODS: A total of 116 individuals diagnosed with CTS who underwent OLSUNAT in our hospital between October 2020 and December 2023 were retrospectively selected. They were divided into a treatment group (62 cases) and a control group (54 cases) based on whether they received subsequent TENS. Observation indicators included pain level, numbness, ulnar nerve conduction velocity, strength of the abductor of the little finger, two-point discrimination, elbow range of motion, fine motor activities of the upper limb and hand, SF-36 scores, and incidence of complications. 
RESULTS: No significant differences in baseline characteristics were identified between the treatment and control groups (p > 0.05). After treatment, both groups showed remarkable improvements in pain level, numbness, motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV), sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV), strength of the abductor of the little finger, two-point discrimination, elbow range of motion, Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function (STEF) score, and SF-36 scores compared to before treatment (p < 0.05). However, the treatment group showed greater progress than the control group (p < 0.05). Although the overall incidence of complications in the treatment group was slightly lower than in the control group, this difference did not reach statistical significance (p > 0.05). 
CONCLUSIONS: OLSUNAT combined with TENS offers significant advantages in managing CTS, effectively alleviating symptoms, promoting nerve and elbow function recovery, and improving patients' quality of life while demonstrating high safety. However, further extensive and long-term studies are needed to confirm its sustained efficacy and safety.

St. Petersburg Kunstkamera item collections devoted to Kazakh traditional culture comprise 49 dolls. They are all dated late 19th — 1st half of the 20th centuries. Some of the dolls are, as it were, schematic, others, on the contrary, are made with care to detail, their miniature clothes reproducing not only the composition of the costume and its cut, but also its decorative elements, which allows to define who a certain doll represents: a maiden, a young married woman, a middle‑aged woman, a groom, or a child. The article aims to introduce these museum pieces as an ethnographic source for scientific use. The author describes the design features, the dolls' costumes, and their role in Kazakh every‑day and ritual culture.

One of the main tasks in the development of oil fields is to extract as much of the natural oil reserves from the earth's subsurface as possible. The increase in the ultimate oil recovery from the developed reservoirs and the enhancement of oil production rates are largely achieved through the widespread introduction of oil production intensification methods.
The need to apply various methods of impacting the wellbore zone is primarily due to the imperfections in drilling methods used to open productive formations. This is especially true for formations with poor reservoir properties and low formation pressure. The less the permeability of the wellbore zone deteriorates during drilling, the less the need arises to use wellbore treatment methods. These methods have been applied in nearly all gas condensate reservoirs in Kazakhstan, Russia, and CIS countries with carbonate reservoirs. The primary acid used in the acid treatment of reservoirs is hydrochloric acid (HCl). The article presents the features and criteria for the application of the hydrochloric acid treatment method in the wellbore zone.

Antecedentes: el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar los factores asociados que influyeron en el brote por Clostridium difficile en el Hospital Nacional de Geriatría y Gerontología, Costa Rica, de agosto a diciembre de 2014.
Metodología: se realizó un estudio de casos y controles. Se definió como caso a todo paciente hospitalizado con resultado positivo para Clostridium difficile entre agosto y diciembre de 2014 y un control paciente para aquellos que no presentaron diarrea. Las exposiciones a comorbilidad y a los tratamientos se dieron para el grupo infectado en un periodo de ventana de tres semanas antes del inicio de los síntomas y para el grupo de control de tres semanas antes del egreso.
Resultados: la edad media de los casos fue de 85 años (DE= 7,4) y de los pacientes control de 83 (DE= 7,9). El OR ajustado mostró que el Clostridium difficile se asoció con afecciones médicas subyacentes a la enfermedad por ácido péptico [OR 74,0; intervalo de confianza (IC) 95 %: 3,9-1 377,0, p= 0,00], a cardiopatía (OR 6,9; IC 95 %: 1,1-43,3, p= 0,03) y al uso de la sonda nasogástrica (OR 63,8; IC 95 %: 14,9-1 386,3, p= 0,00). El modelo ajustado fue la administración de cefotaxima (OR 591,7; IC 95 %: 36,0-9 709,2, p <0,00), de ceftazidima (OR 10; IC 95 %: 3,8-18,1, p <0,03) y de ampicilina (OR 119,7, IC 95 %: 7,9-18 002,9, p <0,03).
Conclusión: se determinó que el brote por Clostridium difficile se asoció al uso de ciertos antibióticos, al sexo masculino, al uso de sonda nasogástrica, al subregistro de notificación obligatoria y a la comorbilidad de enfermedad ácido-péptica y cardiopatía.
