MULTIPROFESSIONAL ELECTRONIC PROTOCOL FOR DIGESTIVE SURGERY VALIDATION.

Background: The creation of a computerized clinical database with the ability to collect prospective information from patients and with the possibility of rescue and crossing data enables scientific studies of higher quality and credibility in less time.

Aim: To validate, in a single master protocol, the clinical data referring to Surgery of Digestive System in a multidisciplinary way, incorporating in the SINPE© platform, and to verify the incidence of digestive diseases based on the prospectively performed collections.

Method: Organize in one software, in a standardized structure, all the pre-existing items in the SINPE© database; the theoretical basis was computerized through the MIGRASINPE© module creating a single multiprofessional master protocol for use as a whole.

Predictors of Success in Bariatric Surgery: the Role of BMI and Pre-operative Comorbidities.

Background: This is a retrospective review of 204 patients who underwent bariatric surgery. The impact of weight regain (WR), pre-operative comorbidities and BMI values on the recurrence of comorbidities was evaluated, and an equation was elaborated to estimate BMI at 5 years of bariatric surgery.

Methods: Pre-operative data, after 1 year and after 5 years, was collected from the medical records.

Multiprofissional electronic protocol in ophtalmology with enfasis in strabismus.

Objective: to create and validate an electronic database in ophthalmology focused on strabismus, to computerize this database in the form of a systematic data collection software named Electronic Protocol, and to incorporate this protocol into the Integrated System of Electronic Protocols (SINPE(c)).

Methods: this is a descriptive study, with the methodology divided into three phases: (1) development of a theoretical ophthalmologic database with emphasis on strabismus; (2) computerization of this theoretical ophthalmologic database using SINPE(c) and (3) interpretation of the information with demonstration of results to validate the protocol. We inputed data from the charts of fifty patients with known strabismus through the Electronic Protocol for testing and validation.

Prospective study of the surgical techniques used in primary rhinoplasty on the caucasian nose and comparison of the preoperative and postoperative anthropometric nose measurements.

Introduction The knowledge and study of surgical techniques and anthropometric measurements of the nose make possible a qualitative and quantitative analysis of surgical results. Objective Study the main technique used in rhinoplasty on Caucasian noses and compare preoperative and postoperative anthropometric measurements of the nose. Methods A prospective study with 170 patients was performed at a private hospital.

New electronic protocol for home enteral nutrition therapy.

Background: Informatics can help the development of home enteral nutrition therapy (HENT). By using an electronic protocol with an electronic database it is possible to organize, structure and manage, information.

Aim: To develop an electronic protocol for data collection on treatment of patients with home enteral nutrition.

Electronic data collection for the analysis of surgical maneuvers on patients submitted to rhinoplasty.

Introduction:  In the health field, computerization has become increasingly necessary in professional practice, since it facilitates data recovery and assists in the development of research with greater scientific rigor.

Objective:  the present work aimed to develop, apply, and validate specific electronic protocols for patients referred for rhinoplasty.

Methods:  The prospective research had 3 stages: (1) preparation of theoretical data bases; (2) creation of a master protocol using Integrated System of Electronic Protocol (SINPE(©)); and (3) elaboration, application, and validation of a specific protocol for the nose and sinuses regarding rhinoplasty.

Proposed computerized protocol for epidemiological study of patients undergoing microsurgery of the larynx.

Introduction:  The merging of medicine with information technology facilitates the retrieval of stored data, aiding the conduct of research with greater scientific rigor. Studies in the field of otorhinolaryngology, specifically in the area of laryngology and voice, are of fundamental importance, since 70% of the economically active need their voice to work.

Objective:  To create a computerized protocol of the diseases of the larynx, apply and validate it, and use it to evaluate patients undergoing laryngoscopic microsurgery of the larynx.

Electronic protocol of respiratory physical therapy in patients with idiopathic adolescent scoliosis.

Objective: To create a clinical database of respiratory function in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis; computerize and store this clinical data through the use of a software; incorporate this electronic protocol to the SINPE© (Integrated Electronic Protocols System) and analyze a pilot project with interpretation of results.

Methods: From the literature review a computerized data bank of clinical data of postural deviations was set up (master protocol). Upon completion of the master protocol a specific protocol of respiratory function in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis was designed and a pilot project was conducted to collect and analyze data from ten patients.

[Electronic protocol for structurated data collection of pediatric patients in nutritional therapy using SINPE(c) (Integrated System of Electronic Protocols)].

Objectives: To develop a clinical database for pediatric patients in nutrition therapy, to computerize the database turning it into an electronic protocol, to make the multicentric use of the database possible.

Method: The database was developed based on medical literature search, using textbooks and scientific studies about pediatric nutrition therapy. It was initially organized in one master protocol and after that divided into two specific protocols, one for patient's admission and other one for evolution.
