Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the impact of particulate matter (PM) pollution on cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Latin American and Caribbean countries, highlighting the significant health burden associated with PM exposure.
- It found that in 2021, PM pollution accounted for about 2.97 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) related to CVD, with greater effects in lower socio-demographic index (SDI) regions such as Haiti, Honduras, and Guatemala.
- The results emphasize the need for public health strategies focused on decreasing PM pollution to help vulnerable populations and improve overall health outcomes in these areas.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examined factors linked to in-hospital mortality in dengue cases in Mexico from 2020 to mid-2024, analyzing data from over 18,000 participants.
- - Results showed a case-fatality rate of 17.5 per 1000, with DENV-2 and DENV-3 infections significantly raising mortality risk compared to DENV-1.
- - Patient factors like older age, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease were also found to increase the likelihood of death, highlighting the need for effective public health strategies for dengue prevention and management.
In patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) is increasingly being adopted in developing nations due to its cost-effectiveness and advantages as a home-based treatment. However, the survival outcomes of chronic PD patients in Mexico, where the burden of ESKD is high, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the survival experience of long-term PD patients and evaluate its determinants.

This study aimed to evaluate the association between vaccination status and other patient characteristics and the risk of severe disease during this new endemic period. A nationwide cohort study was conducted in Mexico, where we analyzed data from 646 adults who had received positive confirmation of COVID-19 through PCR testing from May to August 2023.

This study assessed survival rates among PCR-confirmed adult inpatients during this phase and determined contributing factors. Employing a survival analysis approach, this investigation utilized a nationwide Mexican cohort encompassing 152 adult inpatients.
