Condiciones de salud oral en ancianos del club geriátrico “Abue-Club” en Paraguay

El objetivo del estudio fue describir las condiciones de salud oral en personas mayores de 60 años del club geriátrico “Abue-Club”, Parroquia Virgen de Fátima-Barcequillo-San Lorenzo–Paraguay. Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en adultos mayores de 60 años, que incluyó la exploración bucodental, evaluación de saliva post-estímulo y una encuesta para evaluar dieta, hábitos de higiene y acceso a los servicios de salud. El 63,9% de los evaluados era del sexo femenino con una mediana de edad de 72,6 años y en varones 68,8 años. El Índice CPOD total fue 23,4, con una prevalencia de caries activa del 75%. El 33,3% presentó edentulismo total (39,1% en mujeres y 23,1% en hombres). El 83,3% tenía más de la mitad de sus dientes ausentes, con  mayor frecuencia en mujeres (86,9%). El 69,4% utilizaba prótesis, de los cuales el 56% usaba prótesis total. La prevalencia de enfermedad periodontal por el Índice de Russel fue de 66,7%; 70,8% con lesiones destructivas óseas y/ó bolsas periodontales. El 89% de la población presentó saliva fluida y 75% en cantidad normal (>1 ml). El 56% de los participantes acudió a un servicio odontológico un año o menos antes del estudio, siendo más frecuente en mujeres (69,5%). El grupo de estudio presentó marcado deterioro de salud oral, caracterizado por el edentulismo parcial y total, con alta frecuencia de uso de prótesis total; por tanto urge la necesidad de promoción de salud, con énfasis en la prevención de pérdidas dentarias y alternativas de rehabilitación protésica

Aprendizajes y prácticas educativas en las actuales condiciones de época: COVID-19

“Esta obra colectiva es el resultado de una convocatoria a docentes, investigadores y profesionales del campo pedagógico a visibilizar procesos investigativos y prácticas educativas situadas en el marco de COVI-19. La misma se inscribe en el trabajo llevado a cabo por el equipo de Investigación responsable del Proyecto “Sentidos y significados acerca de aprender en las actuales condiciones de época: un estudio con docentes y estudiantes de la educación secundarias en la ciudad de Córdoba” de la Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. El momento excepcional que estamos atravesando, pero que también nos atraviesa, ha modificado la percepción temporal a punto tal que habitamos un tiempo acelerado y angustiante que nos exige la producción de conocimiento provisorio. La presente publicación surge como un espacio para detenernos a documentar lo que nos acontece y, a su vez, como oportunidad para atesorar y resguardar las experiencias educativas que hemos construido, inventado y reinventando en este contexto. En ella encontrarán pluralidad de voces acerca de enseñar y aprender durante la pandemia. Este texto es una pausa para reflexionar sobre el hacer y las prácticas educativas por venir”.Fil: Beltramino, Lucia (comp.). Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
