Incidence and risk factors related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, reinfection, and seroconversion: Analysis of a healthcare workers cohort from a university hospital in Colombia.

Objectives: To determine the incidence and factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and seroconversion among healthcare workers (HCWs) during the COVID-19 pandemic in a university hospital in Colombia.

Methods: We analyzed the CoVIDA-Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá (FSFB) cohort, consisting of 419 HCWs from the FSFB university hospital. The cohort was followed during active surveillance (June 25, 2020, to April 30, 2021) and passive surveillance (May 01, 2021, to March 16, 2022) periods.

Software-guided (PREVEDEL) cognitive stimulation to prevent delirium in hospitalised older adults: study protocol.

Background: Delirium is a clinical condition characterised by acute and fluctuating deterioration of the cognitive state, generally secondary to an acute pathology. Delirium is associated with negative outcomes in older adults, such as longer hospitalisations, higher mortality, and short and medium-term institutionalisation. Randomised clinical trials have shown that delirium is preventable through non-pharmacological prevention measures, decreasing its incidence by 30-50%.

Epidemiology of delirium in hospitalized patients in Latin America: A systematic review.

Background: Accurate epidemiological data are essential for the planning of policies aimed at the identification, prevention, and management of delirium. The reported occurrence of delirium in hospitalized patients varies widely among studies, ranging between 5% to more than 80% in the international literature. The exact occurrence in Latin America is not well described.

Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody detection among healthcare workers and hospital staff of a university hospital in Colombia.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine current and previous SARS-COV-2 infection, and describe risk factors associated with seropositivity, among HCWs and hospital staff between June and October of 2020.

Methodology: Data from the day of enrollment for a prospective cohort study were analyzed to determine point prevalence and seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in HCWs and hospital staff of a university hospital in Colombia. Respiratory samples were collected to perform RT-PCR tests, along with blood samples to measure SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies.

One CGIAR and the Integrated Agri-food Systems Initiative: From short-termism to transformation of the world's food systems.

Agri-food systems are besieged by malnutrition, yield gaps, and climate vulnerability, but integrated, research-based responses in public policy, agricultural, value chains, and finance are constrained by short-termism and zero sum thinking. As they respond to current and emerging agri-food system challenges, decision makers need new tools that steer toward multi-sector, evidence-based collaboration. To support national agri-food system policy processes, the Integrated Agri-food System Initiative (IASI) methodology was developed and validated through case studies in Mexico and Colombia.
