Estado periodontal y de la mucosa oral en un grupo de embarazadas: estudio clínico

Los cambios hormonales en el embarazo se reflejan en la salud periodontal de las pacientes, se pretende cuantificar y evaluar estos cambios en la cavidad oral de 165 pacientes embarazadas, así como el estado de su mucosa oral y relacionar su percepción de salud oral con los resultados de su estado periodontal. Métodos: Pacientes de revisión de rutina de un centro de atención primaria. Se les realiza una ex-ploración donde se evalúa el estado periodontal, mediante el Índice de Necesidad de Tratamiento Periodontal de la Comunidad (C.P.I.T.N.), y el estado de las mucosas. Los dientes escogidos para el sondaje fueron el 16, 11, 26, 36, 31 y 46 de cada paciente y se tomó como valor representativo el más alto de todos los sextantes. 56 acudieron para realizarse una reevaluación. Resultados: De las 165 embarazadas el 5% (9) fueron consideradas invalorables. El 35% dieron como resultado valor 0 (57); el 46% valor 1 (76); el 12% valor 2 (20); y el 2% valor 3 (1). De las 56 que acudieron a la reevaluación el 23% (13) mejoraron, el 10% (6) empeoraron y el 66% (37) se mantu-vieron. De las 165 sólo una presentó una lesión en mucosas, una ránula. Conclusiones: Aunque hubo un porcentaje sin patología periodontal, 35%, la mayoría padecía gin-givitis (46%) y algunas periodontitis (14%). Por tanto consideramos importante recomendar a las pacientes embarazadas una exploración bucodental y realizar una labor preventiva en todas las pacientes en edad fértil con el fin de evitar consecuencias negativas

Role of age and comorbidities in mortality of patients with infective endocarditis

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse the characteristics of patients with IE in three groups of age and to assess the ability of age and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) to predict mortality. Methods: Prospective cohort study of all patients with IE included in the GAMES Spanish database between 2008 and 2015. Patients were stratified into three age groups:<65 years, 65 to 80 years, and = 80 years.The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve was calculated to quantify the diagnostic accuracy of the CCI to predict mortality risk. Results: A total of 3120 patients with IE (1327 < 65 years;1291 65-80 years;502 = 80 years) were enrolled.Fever and heart failure were the most common presentations of IE, with no differences among age groups.Patients =80 years who underwent surgery were significantly lower compared with other age groups (14.3%, 65 years; 20.5%, 65-79 years; 31.3%, =80 years). In-hospital mortality was lower in the <65-year group (20.3%, <65 years;30.1%, 65-79 years;34.7%, =80 years;p < 0.001) as well as 1-year mortality (3.2%, <65 years; 5.5%, 65-80 years;7.6%, =80 years; p = 0.003).Independent predictors of mortality were age = 80 years (hazard ratio [HR]:2.78;95% confidence interval [CI]:2.32–3.34), CCI = 3 (HR:1.62; 95% CI:1.39–1.88), and non-performed surgery (HR:1.64;95% CI:11.16–1.58).When the three age groups were compared, the AUROC curve for CCI was significantly larger for patients aged <65 years(p < 0.001) for both in-hospital and 1-year mortality. Conclusion: There were no differences in the clinical presentation of IE between the groups. Age = 80 years, high comorbidity (measured by CCI), and non-performance of surgery were independent predictors of mortality in patients with IE.CCI could help to identify those patients with IE and surgical indication who present a lower risk of in-hospital and 1-year mortality after surgery, especially in the <65-year group
