The main substance of agricultural production are biological assets that bring economic benefits to an agricultural organization in the form of products received, as well as income from their sale. Therefore, there is an objective need for monitoring and analysis at the end of the reporting period. In this regard, the article proposes a method for multi-stage control and analysis of income, expenses and financial results from biotransformation of biological assets. This technique allows you to assess the financial condition of both crop and livestock production separately, and the overall financial condition of an agricultural organization. In addition, the results of the control and analysis carried out using this method are recommended to be used in the management system to assess the level of reproduction of biological assets of an agricultural organization, as well as its competitiveness in agricultural markets.

Published: September 2024

Introdução. A Síndrome das Pernas Inquietas (SPI) é um distúrbio sensório-motor do sono cuja origem ainda é pouco compreendida. Diagnosticar essa condição em crianças é particularmente desafiador, muitas vezes resultando em subdiagnóstico, destacando a importância de ferramentas como ilustrações. Relato de Caso. Este relato apresenta o caso de um menino de nove anos, previamente diagnosticado com TDAH combinado, cujo tratamento com metilfenidato OROS 18mg demonstrou melhorias notáveis na atenção e desempenho acadêmico. No entanto, persistiram sintomas de insônia e movimentos repetitivos de retorcer pernas e tronco, acompanhados por desconforto nos membros inferiores, especialmente à noite e em repouso. A criança ilustrou esses episódios durante a consulta, evidenciando a utilidade das ilustrações no diagnóstico da SPI. Conclusão. Assim, diagnosticar e tratar precocemente a SPI em crianças, especialmente aquelas com TDAH, é crucial, destacando-se que o metilfenidato pode auxiliar na melhoria dos sintomas, embora não seja o tratamento convencional, provavelmente devido à sua ação na recaptação de dopamina e noradrenalina.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: Nowadays, many studies discuss scholarly publishing and associated challenges, but the problem of hijacked journals has been neglected. Hijacked journals are cloned websites that mimic original journals but are managed by cybercriminals. The present study uses a topic modeling approach to analyze published papers in hijacked versions of medical journals. Methods: A total of 3384 papers were downloaded from 21 hijacked journals in the medical domain and analyzed by topic modeling algorithm. Results: Results indicate that hijacked versions of medical journals are published in most fields of the medical domain and typically respect the primary domain of the original journal. Conclusion: The academic world is faced with the third-generation of hijacked journals, and their detection may be more complex than common ones. The usage of artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful tool to deal with the phenomenon.
An Overview of Arabic Language Open Educational Resources (OER) for Primary and Secondary Education and Their Use in Offline Environments
Authors: Hosman Laura , Nova Rachel , Naji Osamah Abdullah Ahmed Mohammed , Alsaka Lubna
Published: September 2024

Open educational resource (OER) initiatives have opened new avenues for educational opportunities, yet OER adoption levels globally remain low. Two significant obstacles to more widespread adoption of OER are the challenge of internet connectivity that nearly half the world’s population still faces, and the lack of locally-relevant (e.g. in terms of language and curricula) OER resources. This article’s contribution is twofold.  First, it presents a qualitative landscape analysis of existing primary- and secondary-level Arabic-language digital OERs and of the initiatives that provide these resources. Second, it details applied research via a case study, wherein appropriate resources identified in the analysis were subsequently curated for inclusion in an offline digital library currently being used in schools in Northeast Syria that offers all Open resources. Results from the landscape analysis indicate a limited quantity of Arabic-language OER content available for primary and secondary education. Furthermore, multiple challenges hinder the adoption of OER in resource-constrained settings. Accordingly, recommendations are made that could help to improve these resources' ability to be used, particularly drawing from the article’s applied case study for examples. Given the case study’s application of providing locally-relevant OER resources in an offline setting, this article provides a real-world example of furthering open e-learning, despite infrastructural, linguistic, and socio-political challenges. As such, it advances research supporting innovative e-learning practice, and should be of interest for scholars and practitioners interested in furthering the adoption of open e-learning in low-resource settings globally.
An Exploration Of Student Focused Initiatives To Support Recognition Of Prior Learning (rpl) Case Preparation
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, O'Leary Phil
Published: September 2024

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is recognition given for relevant learning, regardless of how or where it was gained, prior to starting on a programme or module. This research explores a number of student focused initiatives to support RPL case preparation. An action research methodology was used where existing RPL procedures in an Institute of Technology setting were examined and evaluated. The aim of the research was to create a positive environment for RPL case preparation. A mixed method using both qualitative and quantitative approaches such as questionnaires and focus groups was used to gather data. The initial survey captured the existing picture of RPL in 2011. This was followed with an exploration of reflection using focus groups. Changes to the existing processes included development and re-evaluation and further amendment to the existing website. A Valuing Learning space was added to encourage documentation of competencies and this was followed with a trial of e portfolios and their subsequent evaluation. The findings contribute valuable insight to a complex field in education. They reveal that improving online supports is constructive for students preparing RPL cases. They further demonstrate that e portfolios are a significant tool and mechanism to activate learners and are purpose built scaffolds for RPL case preparation.
Modelling Of Bed Load Transport In The River Bandon
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Falvey Stephen
Published: September 2024

"This research thesis examines the various aspects of fluvial sediment transport with a particular emphasis on bed load transport. Sediment is a dynamic, essential and important part of Ireland’s river basins. The collection of sediment transport data is very important as it can help prevent flooding, improve water quality, protect ecology and assist cities and towns in future planning. At the moment there is no legislation dedicated exclusively to sediment but it does interface with a range of other pieces of legislation including the Water Framework Directive. This literature review studies sediment transport. There is a particular emphasis on the properties and processes involved in the sediment that is part of a river’s morphology. Sediment management is also discussed with a particular emphasis on legislative fields which have a direct impact on sediment in rivers. An important part of this thesis is sediment transport and the two dominant forms of sediment transport are discussed; suspended load and bed load transport. Numerical modelling is also a fundamental part of this report and this is discussed in detail. Modelling software packages will be reviewed so that the main aim of this thesis can be achieved. The River Bandon will be modelled in this thesis. There has been a lot of research of suspended sediment transport in this river in recent years, there has been little on bed load transport which is the primary focus. Information and data such as river flow and water levels will be researched so that the bed load data that is recorded can be modelled. The locations where sampling will take place will be examined. There is potential for bed load transport in the river and this can be visually observed. A review of the procedures and testing that will stem from the sampling in the laboratory will also be documented.
Effects Of Openings On The Analysis And Design Of Precast Prestressed Hollow Core Slabs
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Lodge Eoghan
Published: September 2024

"Precast prestressed hollow core floors are a widely used structural element which offers increased speed of construction, reduced self-weight and many other advantages. Due to the relatively low span-to-depth ratio and the speed of construction hollow core slabs are utilised in a large number of commercial buildings. In order to carry the services to the upper floors an opening must be made within the prestressed slab. Cutting an opening in a prestressed slab has significant effects on the structural behaviour of the slab and can considerably reduce the ultimate capacity of the slab. This paper outlines the limited available guidance on this topic and examines the development of the prestress within the transmission length as this has a substantial impact on the effects of an opening. A methodology for the implementation phase is outlined. The effects of an opening created by cutting prestressing strands will be modelled using the LUSAS Finite Element Analysis program and the data collected will be used to develop new and up to date guidance on this design issue. The developed guidance will then be incorporated into a VBA Design Program which take design inputs from a user and apply them to a selected slab from an in-built database. This program will output all relevant design checks."
Investigation Into The Measure, Correlate And Predict Methodologies Used In Wind Farm Design Software
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, O'Sullivan Brendan
Published: September 2024

This paper is focused on the Measure Correlate and Predict (MCP) methodologies used to estimate long term wind resource at a prospective site. The first common step in all MCP methodologies is a successful wind measurement campaign at the prospective site. This campaign involves the erection of a wind measurement mast (ideally to the hub height of the proposed turbine) and careful selection of booms, mountings and anemometers. The wind measurement campaign is a vital part of the process as the correlation and prediction analysis is only as accurate as the measured wind data. Correlation is a measure of the statistical relationship between two comparable data sets, in order to assess if the relationship is strong enough to be used to estimate the future wind resource at the prospective site. The two most established MCP methods are (1) linear regression and (2) error variance ratio method. Linear regression method operates on the assumption that the resulting correlation coefficient correctly describes the long-term relationship between the two random variables and not only during the correlation period, which is limited. However this neglects the potential variance of the predicted wind speed about the mean, leading to the development of the error variance ratio method, which attempts to ensure that the predicted values at the target site have the same overall mean and variance as the observed values. Alternative methods were examined including the matrix and Mortimer methods. In order to make an estimation of the future wind resource the correlation must be compared to a recognised probability density function, the scale and shape parameters must be identified first, once these parameters are estimated using the least squares method the Weibull and Rayleigh probability density functions are used to characterize the wind speed distribution at the target site. The MCP^ module in the WindFarmer software uses two linear techniques (1) linear least squares regression and (2) principal components analysis. A comparison of the leading wind farm design software packages was conducted. It was decided that the best way of assessing the performance of the MCP methods used in wind farm design software, was to conduct an MCP analysis of identical sites using the WindFramer software and a combination of the linear regression and error variance ratio methods using Microsoft Excel spread sheet software. The metrics used to compare the results would be (1) mean wind speed, (2) wind speed distribution and (3) annual energy production.

Published: September 2024

This research focuses on optimizing pozzolan truck queue management at PT. Danas Putra Mandiri through the application of the Monte Carlo method. The main objective of this research is to develop and implement a simulation application that is able to predict and calculate the average availability of trucks in a certain time unit, with the ultimate goal of increasing the company's operational efficiency. In industries that rely on the transportation of raw materials such as pozzolan, effective truck queue management is key to avoiding distribution delays and reducing operational costs. A queue is a service from one or more services that is caused by the need for services exceeding the capacity of the service or service facilities, so that customers who arrive cannot immediately receive service due to busyness in the service. The method used in this research is the Monte Carlo method. Monte Carlo is an experiment of various elements of probability using random samples. The Monte Carlo method is useful for solving quantitative problems with real or physical processing. This method has the ability to simulate and manage queues that occur in companies. PT Danas Putra Mandiri is one of the companies operating in the mining sector which supplies pozzolan to PT Semen Padang. The pozzolan delivery process uses trucks. The delivery process using trucks can affect the availability of the number of trucks in the company. The data used in this research is data from January 2023 - December 2023 with a total of 1619 data. Data taken through the admin of PT. DANAS PUTRA MANDIRI. Based on simulation predictions of queues on trucks, results were obtained with an average accuracy of 80.6%. The queuing simulation results show that the application of the Monte Carlo method can effectively reduce truck waiting times and increase the availability of trucks for rental, which ultimately contributes to increasing the company's operational efficiency.

CORRELATION BETWEEN HYPERTHYROIDISM, HYPOTHYROIDISM WITH BLOOD PRESSURE
Authors: Kalambe Shashank , Badlani Praveen , Dandekar Vandana
Published: September 2024

Thyroid hormones play a vital role in various physiological systems within the body, particularly
impacting cardiovascular functions. There is a signicant link between thyroid dysfunction and higher
mortality rates or the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases; any deviation from a normal thyroid state (euthyroid status) can
disrupt typical physiological processes. Notably, thyroid disorders have a more pronounced effect on blood pressure (BP), yet
this connection is often under-acknowledged. This ambiguity is highlighted by the mixed ndings in research; for instance,
colleagues observed a direct correlation between serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels and both systolic and
diastolic BP. However, other studies did not nd similar associations. In understanding BP regulation, it is essential to consider
cardiac output (CO) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR), as BP is determined by the CO x SVR formula. Thyroid hormones
are crucial in regulating heart rate, cardiac contractility, and blood volume, thereby signicantly inuencing BP. Additionally,
these hormones affect BP via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
producing opposite effects. Thyroid diseases can also lead to endothelial dysfunction by diminishing brinolytic activity and
nitric oxide synthesis. At the molecular level, thyroid hormones signicantly inuence gene expression in cardiac myocytes.
Moreover, hypothyroidism is often associated with components of metabolic syndrome, including hyperlipidemia, diabetes,
and obesity

A propósito de la sostenibilidad y violencia en Brasil: fundamentos para una didáctica general futura
Authors: De la Herrán Gascón Agustín , Luiz Trevisan Amarildo
Published: September 2024

En este ensayo se reconoce que tanto la sostenibilidad como la violencia son problemas sociales graves y contrapuestos: uno, deseable, y otro, repudiable. Ambos se prestan a un abordaje directo desde la educación y la enseñanza. La Pedagogía y la Didáctica General radicales e inclusivas consideran en primer plano las raíces de la educación, que no suelen verse ni tenerse en cuenta desde los paradigmas pedagógicos consensuados (positivista, interpretativo y sociocrítico). Pero también incluye el tronco, las ramas, las hojas, las flores, los frutos y los nidos de los pájaros construidos en el árbol, desde un enfoque cabal con base en la complejidad y la conciencia. 
Este trabajo tiene un carácter fundamentador e introductorio. No va a tratar de la enseñanza ni de la educación directas sobre la sostenibilidad y la violencia en Brasil. Se quedará abajo, como el agua, entre las raíces y el sustrato. El objetivo principal es elaborar un texto con doble utilidad formativa para quienes quieran conocer y formarse en el enfoque radical e inclusivo de la educación (propuesto como cuarto paradigma del conocimiento pedagógico), y para la práctica de una educación con base en el ego-conciencia, que todavía no existe. El trabajo no es un cuadro. Tiene más que ver con la preparación de un cuadro para pintarse en próximos años. En eso radica su utilidad y su inutilidad. En la medida en que el sistema pedagógico radical inclusivo es una elaboración del autor, se citarán fuentes propias, siempre que éstas sean las más pertinentes.

Penelitian ini melibatkan dua kelompok siswa: kelompok Eksperimen yang menerima PBL dan kelompok Kontrol yang mengikuti metode konvensional. Skor pretest dan posttest dianalisis menggunakan uji Mann-Whitney U. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kelompok Eksperimen memiliki skor posttest rata-rata 46,5 dalam hasil belajar, dibandingkan dengan 44,7 pada kelompok Kontrol, tanpa perbedaan yang signifikan (U=216, p=0,131, rank biserial correlation = 0,250). Namun, dalam keterampilan berpikir kritis, kelompok Eksperimen menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan, dengan skor median meningkat dari 40 menjadi 77, dibandingkan kelompok Kontrol yang meningkat dari 40 menjadi 74 (U=146, p=0,002, rank biserial correlation = 0,492). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun PBL secara signifikan meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis, dampaknya terhadap hasil belajar tidak signifikan secara statistik dalam konteks penelitian ini. Penelitian lebih lanjut direkomendasikan untuk mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi efektivitas PBL dan menilai dampak jangka panjangnya terhadap hasil pendidikan.
The Effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in Enhancing Learning Outcomes and Critical Thinking Skills: A Comparative Study
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) compared to conventional teaching methods in enhancing students' learning outcomes and critical thinking skills. The research involved two groups of students: an Experimental group that received PBL and a Control group that followed conventional methods. Pretest and posttest scores were collected and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results showed that the Experimental group had a mean posttest score of 46.5 in learning outcomes, compared to 44.7 in the Control group, with no significant difference (U=216, p=0.131, rank biserial correlation = 0.250). However, in critical thinking skills, the Experimental group exhibited a significant improvement, with the median score increasing from 40 to 77, compared to the Control group, which increased from 40 to 74 (U=146, p=0.002, rank biserial correlation = 0.492). These findings suggest that while PBL significantly enhances critical thinking skills, its impact on learning outcomes is not statistically significant within the context of this study. Further research is recommended to explore factors influencing the effectiveness of PBL and to assess its long-term impact on educational outcomes.

Published: September 2024

Introduction

Continuous assessment of community health needs is essential to predict, recognize, and act on healthcare issues. Conducting community health needs assessments (CHNAs) in Saudi Arabia has become a priority to overcome the current healthcare challenges and keep pace with the Saudi Arabia 2030 vision. Studies reporting community health needs in Saudi Arabia regions are limited despite the high incidence of chronic diseases. This study aims to understand the community’s health problems and the range of healthy behaviors and determine the priority health problems.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study based on the adults in Primary Health Care Centers in Hail, Northern Saudi Arabia, by using the CHNA standard questionnaire. In addition to the demographic information, the questionnaire collects data on personal health status, the health status of adults and children, health facilities access information, receiving of healthcare procedures, traveling for healthcare, source of medical information, safety measures and behaviors, health problems, childcare (special needs), and perceived community problems.

Results

In all, 336 individuals were approached to participate in this study; 303 agreed to participate (response rate: 90%). The analysis comprised 276 individuals after eliminating 27 who did not fulfill the age inclusion criteria or had missing gender data. Of these, 107 (38.8%) were men and 169 (61.2%) were women. Our data revealed that almost half of the participants, 135 (52.9%) constantly or 107 (42%) occasionally, were able to visit the doctors when needed.

Conclusion

Our findings reported positive health behaviors and good accessibility to healthcare services when needed. However, the study findings also revealed healthcare challenges that required urgent action from Hail healthcare leaders.

Introduction

Prescribing errors (PEs) are the most common type of medication error, which may occur by prescribing the wrong medication, improper dose, dosage, and/or even prescribing a drug to the wrong patient. The present study aims to compile PEs that were generated in an ambulatory care setting at a tertiary-care hospital in Saudi Arabia.

Methods

A retrospective cross-sectional review was conducted for all reported PEs in ambulatory care clinics for 3 years. The potential hazardous outcomes of these PEs were classified according to the medication error index.

Results

A total of 897 records containing 1199 PEs were retrieved. More than a third of prescribers had frequently committed PEs—ranging from 2 to 39 times. The most encountered errors were prescribing incorrect doses, medication duplication, incorrect dosing frequency, and inappropriate duration (34.5%, 14.1%, 11.6%, and 9.8%, respectively). The most frequent mistakes were when prescribing antibiotics (22.9%) and drugs for cardiovascular conditions (18.5%). Most errors were of mild to moderate severity, mostly type-B near-miss errors and did not reach patients. Only two prescription events (0.17%) had severe consequences that required intervention to avoid any subsequent harm or damage.

Conclusion

The current investigation has revealed a substantial percentage of PEs, mostly in internal medicine and cardiology departments. Although PEs are undoubtedly not easy to avoid, monitoring and recognizing these inaccuracies is pivotal to preventing potential harm and promoting patient safety.

Introdução: O câncer de próstata é uma das neoplasias malignas mais comuns entre os homens em todo o mundo, representando uma significativa carga de morbidade e mortalidade. É especialmente prevalente em homens acima de 50 anos, sendo a segunda principal causa de morte por câncer em homens, atrás apenas do câncer de pulmão.
Metodologia: A metodologia utilizada para esta revisão integrativa foi estruturada de maneira a incluir uma vasta gama de estudos que abordam tanto os aspectos diagnósticos quanto terapêuticos do câncer de próstata. Para tal, foram seguidas as diretrizes estabelecidas para revisões integrativas, que permitem a inclusão de estudos de diferentes desenhos metodológicos (quantitativos, qualitativos, estudos de coorte, ensaios clínicos, entre outros) a fim de proporcionar uma visão mais abrangente do tema.
Resultado: Uma das principais inovações no diagnóstico do câncer de próstata é a utilização da ressonância magnética multiparamétrica (mpMRI), que permite uma visualização detalhada da próstata e das lesões suspeitas. Este método não invasivo tem mostrado melhorar significativamente a acurácia diagnóstica, reduzindo a necessidade de biópsias repetidas e aumentando a detecção de tumores clinicamente significativos.
Conclusão: A revisão integrativa do câncer de próstata demonstrou que avanços significativos foram realizados tanto no diagnóstico quanto no tratamento, oferecendo novas esperanças para os pacientes. No entanto, esses avanços também apresentam desafios, incluindo a necessidade de personalização do tratamento, o manejo de efeitos colaterais e a equidade no acesso às novas tecnologias.

O presente artigo de revisão explora o impacto da depressão na progressão das demências em pacientes geriátricos, com ênfase nas interações entre essas duas condições que afetam significativamente a saúde mental e a qualidade de vida dos idosos. A depressão, uma comorbidade comum em indivíduos com demência, está associada a uma aceleração do declínio cognitivo e funcional, especialmente em pacientes com doença de Alzheimer. Através de uma análise crítica da literatura científica dos últimos 10 anos, este estudo investiga os mecanismos neurobiológicos subjacentes, incluindo alterações nos níveis de cortisol e redução da neuroplasticidade, bem como a influência de fatores genéticos, como o alelo APOE-ε4. Além disso, discute-se a bidirecionalidade da relação entre depressão e demência, onde a depressão pode atuar tanto como um fator de risco quanto como uma consequência do declínio cognitivo. A revisão também aborda a variabilidade na resposta ao tratamento em pacientes com depressão e demência concomitante, sugerindo a necessidade de abordagens terapêuticas combinadas e personalizadas. Por fim, o artigo destaca a importância de considerar fatores socioeconômicos e culturais no manejo dessas condições, propondo que intervenções precoces e abrangentes podem retardar a progressão da demência e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes geriátricos. Este estudo contribui para a compreensão da complexa interação entre depressão e demência, reforçando a necessidade de mais pesquisas clínicas e estratégias terapêuticas inovadoras.

A uveíte associada à esquistossomose, embora rara, apresenta desafios significativos em seu diagnóstico e manejo, especialmente em unidades de emergência localizadas em regiões endêmicas. Este artigo visa revisar e sintetizar as evidências disponíveis sobre a abordagem inicial dessa condição, com ênfase nas práticas diagnósticas e terapêuticas adotadas nos últimos anos. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa de estudos publicados entre 2014 e 2024, complementada por pesquisas mais antigas, mas relevantes. A busca foi conduzida em bases de dados como PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science e Lilacs, utilizando termos específicos relacionados à uveíte, esquistossomose e emergência médica. Os resultados revelam que, apesar dos avanços nas técnicas diagnósticas, o reconhecimento precoce da uveíte por esquistossomose continua sendo um desafio, muitas vezes comprometido pela variabilidade de sintomas e pela semelhança com outras doenças inflamatórias oculares. O tratamento primário envolve o uso de corticosteroides, associados a agentes antiparasitários, com destaque para o praziquantel. No entanto, a eficácia de terapias adicionais, como imunossupressores, permanece controversa. Conclui-se que há uma necessidade urgente de protocolos padronizados para o manejo dessa condição em emergências, além de mais estudos que explorem intervenções específicas para melhorar os desfechos dos pacientes.

A Insuficiência cardíaca (IC) caracteriza-se como uma das principais causas de internações hospitalares, sua prevalência mostra-se em crescimento aumento, principalmente, devido ao envelhecimento da população, porém com o uso adequado de medicamentos, dispositivos de assistência ventricular (DAV) e aumento no número de transplantes, nota-se uma maior expectativa de vida. O presente estudo busca avaliar o perfil clínico e epidemiológico das internações hospitalares por insuficiência cardíaca, no Brasil, entre 2018 e 2023. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo e quantitativo que analisou internações por insuficiência cardíaca no Brasil entre janeiro de 2018 e dezembro de 2023, utilizando dados secundários do DATASUS e do Sistema de Morbidade Hospitalar (SIH). Os dados foram organizados em tabelas e gráficos, com foco em variáveis como ano de processamento, região, faixa etária, cor/raça, sexo, taxa de permanência hospitalar, regime de atendimento e óbitos. O total de internações foi de 1.142.552, com 2022 apresentando a maior frequência. A região Sudeste concentrou a maioria das internações (42,29%), enquanto o Norte teve o menor número (5,79%). A maioria dos atendimentos foi de urgência (95%). A faixa etária mais afetada foi entre 70 e 79 anos (34,97%). A amostra foi predominantemente masculina (52%) e a cor/raça mais frequente foi branca (37,94%), com grande ausência de dados sobre cor/raça. O estudo revela um padrão significativo de internações por insuficiência cardíaca, destacando a prevalência em indivíduos mais idosos e a predominância de atendimentos de urgência. A desigualdade regional nas internações e a maior frequência de internações no Sudeste indicam disparidades no acesso e na distribuição dos serviços de saúde. A ausência de dados completos sobre cor/raça limita a capacidade de análise mais detalhada sobre disparidades raciais. Essas informações podem orientar políticas de saúde pública e estratégias para melhorar a gestão e prevenção da insuficiência cardíaca no Brasil.
