IntroducciÓn: Las enfermedades que motivan hospitalización potencialmente evitable tienen la característica de ser sensibles a la prevención, diagnóstico y control ambulatorio en atención primaria a la salud.
Objetivos: Identificar la tendencia nacional de la hospitalización potencialmente evitable entre 2001 y 2015 y analizar el patrón geográfico a nivel municipal y priorizar municipios.
MÉtodo: Se usaron los egresos hospitalarios de la Secretaría de Salud. Se calcularon tasas de prevalencia nacionales y razones municipales, estandarizadas por edad y sexo. Se emplearon estadísticos de variabilidad para analizar y elaborar mapas.
Resultados: De los egresos hospitalarios, 10.39, 9.81 y 9.26 % se clasificaron como hospitalizaciones potencialmente evitables para cada periodo quinquenal. La tasa nacional se incrementó en el lapso estudiado: de 36.27 a 47.24 por 10 000 habitantes. La diabetes mellitus, las gastroenteritis y otras enfermedades de las vías respiratorias inferiores fueron las causas de mayor frecuencia. Los patrones geográficos en los tres periodos fueron semejantes. Se identificaron 487 municipios prioritarios, 174 con alto uso y 313 con sobreuso hospitalario, que concentraron 35.83 % de las hospitalizaciones evitables, 8.58 y 27.25 %, respectivamente.
Conclusiones: En México existe amplia variabilidad geográfica de la hospitalización potencialmente evitable con un patrón casi inmutable.
Introduction: Diseases that motivate potentially preventable hospitalization (PH) have the characteristic of being sensitive to prevention, diagnosis and control on an outpatient basis in primary care.
Objectives: To identify the national trend of potentially avoidable hospitalization between 2001 and 2015; to analyze its geographical pattern at the municipal level and prioritize municipalities.
Method: Hospital discharge records from the Ministry of Health were used. National prevalence rates and municipal PH ratios, standardized by age and gender, were calculated. Variability statistics were used to analyze and generate maps.
Results: Among all hospital discharges, 10.39%, 9.81% and 9.26% were classified as PH for each period. The national PH rate did increase in the studied period: from 36.27 to 47.24 per 10,000 population. Diabetes mellitus, gastroenteritis and other diseases of the lower respiratory tract were the most common causes. Geographic patterns of PH were similar for the three periods. A total of 487 priority municipalities were identified, 174 with hospital high use and 313 with overuse, 35.83 % were avoidable hospitalizations, 8.58% and 27.25%, respectively.
Conclusions: In Mexico there is wide geographical variability in PH, with an almost unchanging geographical pattern.

Introduction: As the global population ages, managing medication use in older adults becomes increasingly complex due to polypharmacy and the associated risks of adverse drug events. To improve the safety and appropriateness of medication use in the older population, tools like the Screening Tool of Older Persons' Prescriptions (STOPP) and Screening Tool to Alert doctors to Right Treatment (START) criteria have been developed. The availability of updated criteria is crucial to better support healthcare professionals in Portuguese-speaking regions.

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection for advanced colon lesions is typically performed with specialized and costly endoscopic knives, potentially limiting accessibility and increasing procedural cost. Alternatively, the tip of an endoscopic snare, which is inexpensive and universally available, has demonstrated safe and efficient use in gastric lesions but lacks sufficient data for use in colon lesions.
Objective: This study aimed to assess patient outcomes after endoscopic submucosal dissection of advanced colon lesions using the endoscopic snare tip.

Background: The use of programmed death-1 blockade has a significant therapeutic effect in patients with mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high metastatic colorectal cancer. However, data on preoperative single-agent programmed death-1 blockade are rare.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of preoperative programmed death-1 blockade as a conversion strategy in patients with locally advanced and resectable metastatic mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high colorectal cancer.

Introduction: Medications are a fundamental part of the treatment of multiple pathologies. However, despite their benefits, some are considered potentially inappropriate medications for older people given their safety profile. Epidemiological data differences related to potentially inappropriate medications make it difficult to determine their effects on elderly people.
