Clinical and molecular characterization of children and adults with respiratory bocavirus infection in Mexico: a cross-sectional nested study within the ILI002 prospective observational study.

Background: Human Bocaviruses (HBoV) can cause acute respiratory tract infections. High coinfection rates cloud its pathogenicity. This study sought to describe the clinical features of HBoV1 disease in children and adults with Influenza-like illness (ILI), exploring associations between viral load, clinical features, and seasonality.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a hand hygiene monitoring system in a tertiary pediatric hospital in Mexico.

Background: An automated hand-hygiene monitoring system (AHHMS) was implemented in October 2019 at the (HIMFG), a tertiary pediatric referral hospital, in four of the hospital wards with the highest rates of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). The clinical and economic impact of this system had not yet been assessed prior to this study. This study aimed to evaluate if the AHHMS is a cost-effective alternative in reducing HAIs in the HIMFG.

New Variants of Pseudomonas High-Risk Clone ST233 Associated with an Outbreak in a Mexican Paediatric Hospital.

Recent multidrug resistance in has favoured the adaptation and dissemination of worldwide high-risk strains. In June 2018, 15 strains isolated from patients and a contaminated multi-dose meropenem vial were characterized to assess their association to an outbreak in a Mexican paediatric hospital. The strains were characterized by antibiotic susceptibility profiling, virulence factors' production, and biofilm formation.

Impact of environmental and individual factors on COVID-19 mortality in children and adolescents in Mexico: An observational study.

Background: During the Covid-19 pandemic, children and adolescents faced poverty, potentially dying from preventable causes, or missing out essential vaccines. The aim of this study was to assess potential environmental and individual factors associated to COVID-19 mortality in children and adolescents in Mexico.

Methods: This cross-sectional study analysed the official data of 131,001 children under 10 years of age and adolescents between 10 and 19 years of age with COVID-19 disease, in Mexico.

Effects of air pollution and climatology on COVID-19 mortality in Spain.

Unlabelled: The health, economic, and social impact of COVID-19 has been significant across the world. Our objective was to evaluate the association between air pollution (through NO and PM levels) and COVID-19 mortality in Spanish provinces from February 3, 2020, to July 14, 2020, adjusting for climatic parameters. An observational and ecological study was conducted with information extracted from Datadista repository (Datadista, 2020).

Satisfaction With Healthcare Services Among Patients With Diabetes, Hypertension, and/or Dyslipidemia in Mexico: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objectives: To examine the factors associated with satisfaction with healthcare services provided to patients with diabetes, hypertension, and/or dyslipidemia in the Mexican population.

Methods: In a cross-sectional, retrospective study, we used data from the 2016 Half-Way National Health and Nutrition Survey in Mexico (ENSANUT MC 2016). This contained self-reported information about patient satisfaction and use of healthcare services by 2529 adults.

[Surveillance for the identification of cases of acute respiratory infection by enterovirus D68 in children in a tertiary level care hospital during 2014-2016].

Background: The reemergence of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) infections in the United States was reported from August-October 2014 (691 cases). In Mexico, an outbreak at the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases was reported (24 cases). The results of epidemiological surveillance of Enterovirus sp.

[A Comparison of Methods for Modeling Factors Associated with Hospital Admissions in Incident Cases of Heart Failure].

Objective: Heart failure (HF) is an important public health problem due to its increasing prevalence, and the decompensation associated with hospital admission represents an increased risk of death. The objective of this study was to compare several methods to model the variable hospitalizations and to determine the effect of factors associated with hospital admissions in incident cases of HF.

Methods: Study of a retrospective cohort of patients with information extracted from electronic medical records of PC was performed.

Effectiveness of natriuretic peptide-guided treatment of chronic heart failure. A meta-analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of natriuretic peptide (NP)-guided therapy compared to clinically-guided therapy in reducing mortality and hospital admissions in chronic heart failure (HF) patients.

Methods: Randomised clinical trials (RCT) were selected through a systematic review. Four meta-analyses were conducted for the outcomes of overall mortality, HF-related mortality, overall hospital admissions, and HF-related hospital admissions.

Identification of extensive drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains: New clone ST1725 and high-risk clone ST233.

Several microorganisms produce nosocomial infections (NIs), among which Pseudomonas aeruginosa stands out as an opportunist pathogen with the capacity to develop multiresistance to first-choice antibiotics. From 2007 to 2013, forty-six NIs produced by P. aeruginosa were detected at a pediatric tertiary care hospital in Mexico with a significant mortality rate (17.

[Survival of patients with heart failure in primary care].

Objective: To describe survival of patients with chronic heart failure (HF) followed up in primary care (PC) and analyse the effect of sex, age, clinical and health services factors, and income levels on survival.

Design: Longitudinal observational study of a retrospective cohort of patients with information extracted from electronic medical records.

Setting: PC Area 7 of the Community of Madrid.
