Background: Dengue has emerged as an unprecedented epidemic in Peru, and it is anticipated that this issue will escalate further owing to climate change. This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with death from dengue in patients treated at Hospital II in Pucallpa, Peru.
Methodology: This retrospective cohort study collected information from the medical records of patients with a diagnosis of dengue treated at Hospital II Pucallpa-Peru between January 2019 and March 2023.
Objective: To assess quality of life and explore its associated factors in a group of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis in Peru.
Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of patients with CKD treated at two medical centers in Tacna, Peru; between July and September 2023. We conducted a survey via telephone interviews with eligible patients using the Short Form 36 (SF 36) to assess their quality of life.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate fetal mortality rates in a Peruvian hospital from 2001 to 2020 and examine how social inequality indicators like prenatal care and education relate to these rates.
- Researchers analyzed data from 67,908 pregnant women, finding that inadequate prenatal care significantly increased fetal mortality, whereas higher education levels were linked to a lower risk of fetal death.
- The findings showed fetal mortality rates are similar to past data in Peru, but still higher than other Latin American countries, with recent years showing improved outcomes likely due to better education access and reduced illiteracy.
