Objectives: Our objective was to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the proportion of past-year HIV testing in Peru.
Methods: Utilizing data from the National Demographic and Health Survey of Peru from 2014 to 2022, we conducted an interrupted time series analysis. The proportion of past-year HIV testing per quarter of each year was considered our unit of analysis.
Background: Systematic reviews (SRs) worldwide suffer from methodological deficiencies, potentially biasing intervention decisions, and Peruvian SRs are no exception. Evaluating SRs led by Peruvian researchers is a crucial step to enhance quality and transparency in decision-making and to identify topics where SRs are either scarce or prioritized for research.
Objective: To describe the characteristics and assess the methodological quality of SRs with Peruvian first authors.
Article Synopsis
- A study highlights the prevalence of medicinal plant consumption among Peruvians for preventing COVID-19, with 60% of participants using them, especially in the Peruvian highlands and among those with personal ties to COVID-19 cases.* -
- Most participants (84.6%) were young adults, and key factors driving this consumption included family experiences with COVID-19, perceptions of increased infection risk, and reliance on medical information regarding COVID-19.* -
- The findings stress the need for communication strategies to educate the public on the risks associated with medicinal plants and promote validated preventive measures against COVID-19.*
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to assess the prevalence and incidence of diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetes of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Methods: We searched Web of Science (WoS)/Core Collection, WoS/MEDLINE, WoS/Scielo, Scopus, PubMed/Medline and Embase databases until January 16, 2023. We meta-analyzed prevalences according to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Background: Invasive management of stable coronary artery disease is still a controversial topic. The purpose of this umbrella review was to synthesize systematic reviews (SRs) that evaluate the benefits and harms of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus optimal medical therapy (OMT) in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL from 2018 to August 7, 2022.
