Ítem An epidemiologic analysis of diabetes in Colombia(2015-01-01) Casas Figueroa, Luz ÁngelaThe prevalence of diabetes has increased worldwide, leading to a massive social, economic, and health care burden. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), 8.3% of the world's population experiences diabetes (382 million people); this figure is expected to rise to >592 million in <25 years, implying ≥175 million undiagnosed cases. Diabetes is most prevalent in the Western Pacific region with 138 million cases, followed by South East Asia with 72 million, Europe with 56 million, North America and the Caribbean with 37 million, the Middle East and Northern Africa with 35 million, South and Central America (SACA) with 24 million, and Africa with 20 million cases.Ítem Defectos congénitos mayores en un hospital de tercer nivel en Cali, Colombia 2004–2008(Universidad Icesi, 2011-01-01) Pachajoa Londoño, Harry MauricioObjetivos Determinar la prevalencia de los defectos congénitos diagnosticados al nacimiento y describir los factores sociodemográficos y del recién nacido asociados a la ocurrencia de estas patologías en un hospital de tercer nivel de la ciudad de Cali en Colombia. Metodología Se analizó la información del sistema de vigilancia del Hospital Universitario del Valle entre marzo de 2004 y octubre de 2008. Para determinar la ocurrencia de defectos congénitos se siguió la metodología propuesta por el ECLAMC. Se realizaron tablas y gráficos para describir las características de los recién nacidos y sus padres. Resultados Durante el período de estudio, un total de 4 años y 7 meses entre 2004 y 2008, se atendieron 32 995 nacimientos, de los cuales 735 presentaron al menos un defecto congénito, para una prevalencia de 2,22 por 10 000 nacimientosÍtem Defectos congénitos en un hospital de tercer nivel en Cali, Colombia(Sociedad Chilena de de Obstetricia y Ginecología, 2015-01-01) Isaza, CarolinaTo determine the overall and individual prevalence of birth defects diagnosed at birth in a referral hospital in Cali, Colombia, in the period 2011-2012 and compare the results with previously reported for the same institution. Methods: Epidemiological surveillance of birth defects was performed at the Hospital Universitario del Valle between July 2011 and June 2012, following ECLAMC methodology. Tables were performed to illustrate the frequency distribution of birth defects. Results: During the 12 months of study there were 5,669 births, of which 109 had at least one birth defect, for a prevalence of 1.92[%]. For specific birth defects, the highest prevalence were recorded for polydactyly (24.69 × 10,000), auricular appendage (15.87 × 10,000), hydrocephalus (15.87× 10,000), hydrocephalus (15.87 × 10,000). By grouping, the highest prevalence was for the following groups: limb defects (79.37× 10,000), central nervous system defects (49.39 × 10,000), vascular disruption defects (40.57 × 10,000). Conclusions: In the surveillance period in the institution it was found a prevalence of birth defects similar to that previously reported in the same institution. By grouping, the highest prevalence were for limb defects, defects of the central nervous system and vascular disruption defects. Birth defects associated with environmental factors, principally neural tube defects and defects by vascular disruption had higher prevalence compared with those reported previously.
