    Introducci贸n:聽en diciembre de 2001 se realiz贸 la primera campa帽a de vacunaci贸n masiva con VA-MENGOCC-BCR en Uruguay. En la ciudad de Santa Luc铆a (departamento de Canelones) se vacunaron 5.366 ni帽os de 2 a 19 a帽os de edad. Esta vacuna es considerada inocua; las principales reacciones adversas notificadas son locales. Objetivos:聽determinar la prevalencia y el tipo de reacciones adversas a la vacuna VA-MENGOCC-BCR en esta poblaci贸n. Material y m茅todo:聽se tom贸 una muestra simple al azar por rango de muestreo de 744 ni帽os. El registro de las reacciones adversas luego de la primera y segunda dosis se realiz贸 a trav茅s de encuesta personal o telef贸nica 30 d铆as luego de cada dosis. Resultados:聽se evaluaron 728 ni帽os (98% de la muestra).聽El 53% (IC95 53% + 3,6) desarroll贸 alg煤n tipo de reacci贸n adversa: 30% luego de la primera dosis, 5% luego de la segunda dosis y 18% luego de la primera y segunda dosis. No present贸 ninguna reacci贸n adversa 47% (IC95 47% + 3,6). Se notificaron 659 reacciones adversas, 71% locales y 29% sist茅micas. Entre las reacciones locales el dolor fue la m谩s frecuente (55%) y entre las sist茅micas el decaimiento (30%). Conclusiones:聽la prevalencia de reacciones adversas en esta poblaci贸n fue 53% (IC95 53% + 3,6). No se observ贸 ninguna reacci贸n adversa severa. Estos resultados coinciden con lo descrito en otras series

    Background: Among people with diabetes, those with kidney disease have exceptionally high rates of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality and progression of their underlying kidney disease. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has shown to reduce albuminuria in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while revealing only a low risk of hyperkalemia. However, the effect of finerenone on CV and renal outcomes has not yet been investigated in long-term trials. Patients and Methods: The Finerenone in Reducing CV Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIGARO-DKD) trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone compared to placebo at reducing clinically important CV and renal outcomes in T2D patients with CKD. FIGARO-DKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, event-driven trial running in 47 countries with an expected duration of approximately 6 years. FIGARO-DKD randomized 7,437 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 25 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >= 30 to <= 5,000 mg/g). The study has at least 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (overall two-sided significance level alpha = 0.05), the composite of time to first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. Conclusions: FIGARO-DKD will determine whether an optimally treated cohort of T2D patients with CKD at high risk of CV and renal events will experience cardiorenal benefits with the addition of finerenone to their treatment regimen.
