Servicios ecosistémicos: un enfoque introductorio con experiencias del occidente colombiano

Con el interés de transmitir y apropiar diversas comunidades en temáticas asociadas a los servicios ecosistémicos, el presente libro entrega 15 capítulos que aproximarán al lector hacia la conceptualización y apropiación de conocimientos básicos,  asociados a los diversos servicios ecosistémicos brindados generosamente por la naturaleza. El capítulo 1, Introducción al estado del arte de los servicios ecosistémicos en la región occidental colombiana, introduce al lector hacia la apropiación conceptual de los servicios ecosistémicos, contando experiencias relevantes del contexto colombiano. Los 14 capítulos posteriores también tendrán una fase introductoria, estudios de caso basados en experiencias del occidente colombiano y resultados de investigaciones realizadas por los autores. En estos capítulos, el lector encontrará información relevante sobre cuatro grupos de servicios ecosistémicos: abastecimiento, regulación, apoyo y culturales. Este libro es el resultado del arduo trabajo consolidado por un equipo interdisciplinario que, a partir de la integración de saberes y resultados de investigación, logró construir un material de lenguaje sencillo que se espera sea de gran utilidad para diversos lectores interesados en apropiarse del conocimiento básico, orientado hacia la familiarización y el compromiso con la protección de los ecosistemas y sus servicios

Colombian surgical outcomes study insights on perioperative mortality rate, a main indicator of the lancet commission on global surgery – a prospective cohort studyResearch in context

Summary: Background: Surgical care holds significant importance in healthcare, especially in low and middle-income countries, as at least 50% of the 4.2 million deaths within the initial 30 days following surgery take place in these countries. The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery proposed six indicators to enhance surgical care. In Colombia, studies have been made using secondary data. However, strategies to reduce perioperative mortality have not been implemented. This study aims to describe the fourth indicator, perioperative mortality rate (POMR), with primary data in Colombia. Methods: A multicentre prospective cohort study was conducted across 54 centres (hospitals) in Colombia. Each centre selected a 7-day recruitment period between 05/2022 and 01/2023. Inclusion criteria involved patients over 18 years of age undergoing surgical procedures in operating rooms. Data quality was ensured through a verification guideline and statistical analysis using mixed-effects multilevel modelling with a case mix analysis of mortality by procedure-related, patient-related, and hospital-related conditions. Findings: 3807 patients were included with a median age of 48 (IQR 32–64), 80.3% were classified as ASA I or II, and 27% of the procedures had a low-surgical complexity. Leading procedures were Orthopedics (19.2%) and Gynaecology/Obstetrics (17.7%). According to the Clavien–Dindo scale, postoperative complications were distributed in major complications (11.7%, 10.68–12.76) and any complication (31.6%, 30.09–33.07). POMR stood at 1.9% (1.48–2.37), with elective and emergency surgery mortalities at 0.7% (0.40–1.23) and 3% (2.3–3.89) respectively. Interpretation: The POMR was higher than the ratio reported in previous national studies, even when patients had a low–risk profile and low-complexity procedures. The present research represents significant public health progress with valuable insights for national decision-makers to improve the quality of surgical care.
