Resumen La resistencia antimicrobiana es una amenaza para los logros de la medicina moderna y una de las medidas más efectivas para contrarrestarla son los programas de optimización del uso de antimicrobianos (PROA), en el cual el laboratorio de microbiología es uno de los principales componentes. La aplicación efectiva de tecnología de la información en los procesos es fundamental, pero existe poca información en Latinoamérica sobre el desarrollo y la articulación de las herramientas tecnológicas para apoyar los PROA. Este consenso hace recomendaciones sobre la gestión de los datos microbiológicos para la toma de decisiones. En la Parte I, se presentan las recomendaciones en cuanto al uso de un sistema informatizado de gestión de datos microbiológicos en la práctica clínica, los requerimientos de datos y de reporte en el laboratorio de microbiología, y los contenidos del sistema de gestión de calidad avanzado en el laboratorio. En la Parte II, se discuten los requerimientos de información para la gestión de PROA en estadios intermedios, iniciales y avanzados por el laboratorio y la farmacia; así como la integración del equipo de PROA con el Comité de Prevención y Control de Infecciones y la información para la gestión de PROA a nivel gerencial.

ABSTRACT Background: Maxillofacial trauma corresponds to all traumatic injuries affecting the facial bones. Nowadays, it represents one of the main healthcare issues worldwide. The aim of this study is to analyze our experience in the interventions performed in hospitalized and their complications. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective and observational study of 205 patients with maxillofacial fractures from 2011 to 2019. Results: 81.46% were men (n = 167) and 38.54% (n = 79) of the patients were between 21 and 30 years of age. Traffic collision was the most common mechanism of trauma (56,1%, n = 115). The types of facial fractures were panfacial (12.2%; n = 25), of the upper-third (1.43%; n = 3), of the middle-third (72.2%; n = 148) and of the lower third (14.15%; n = 29). In the upper third of the face frontal sinus fractures associated with the frontal bone were the most common (66.67%; n =2); in the middle-third combined fractures were most prevalent (54.73%; n = 81) while complex fractures were most frequent in the lower third (34,48%; n = 10). One-hundred and ninety-one patients were operated on (97.07%). Complications occurred in only 11.56% (n = 23) and were not serious. Discusion: In our series, most patients were young men, traffic collisions were the most common cause of trauma, and the middle third of the face was the most affected region. These results are similar to our publications. Surgical management, mostly by open reduction and fixation with titanium-based osteosynthesis material, is an effective, safe and reliable procedure, which allows the restoration of pre-trauma function, with very low rate of postoperative complications.

RESUMEN Antecedentes: el trauma maxilofacial corresponde a toda lesión traumática del macizo facial. Actualmente representa uno de los problemas de salud más importantes en el mundo. Nuestro objetivo es realizar un análisis de nuestra experiencia en las intervenciones realizadas en pacientes internados y sus complicaciones. Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo y observacional de 205 pacientes con fracturas maxilofaciales desde el año 2011 hasta el año 2019. Resultados: el 81,46% fueron hombres (n: 167) y el rango etario más afectado osciló entre los 21 y 30 años con el 38,54% (n:79). El accidente de tránsito 56,1% (n:115) fue el mecanismo de trauma más frecuente. Los tipos de fracturas faciales fueron: panfaciales 12,2% (n: 25), tercio superior 1,46% (n:3), tercio medio 72,2% (n:148) y tercio inferior 14,15% (n:29). Dentro del tercio superior, el 66,67% (n:2) fueron fracturas del seno frontal asociadas al hueso frontal, en el tercio medio las combinadas en un 54,73% (n:81) y en el tercio inferior, las complejas en el 34,48% (n:10). Fueron intervenidos 199 pacientes (97,07%). Solo el 11,56% (n:23) presentó alguna complicación. No se observaron complicaciones graves. Discusión: según nuestra serie, la mayoría de los pacientes fueron hombres jóvenes; la causa más frecuente, el accidente de tránsito, y el tercio medio, el más afectado, resultados estos similares a los de otros estudios publicados. El tratamiento quirúrgico fue principalmente reducción abierta y fijación con material de osteosíntesis de titanio, un procedimiento seguro y fiable, que permite restablecer la funcionalidad previa al traumatismo, con un índice muy bajo de complicaciones posoperatorias.

Abstract: In this study, we evaluated the knowledge, attitudes, and psychosocial impacts among Brazilian pediatric dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study with primary data collection was carried out using an online structured questionnaire. Data were submitted to descriptive analysis by using absolute and relative frequencies. A chi-square test was used for association analysis and log-linear regression models to estimate the prevalence ratio (5%). The population comprised mostly women and knowledge regarding COVID-19 was satisfactory (above 80% in most items). N95 masks and faceshields were used, albeit 64.22% reported difficulty in providing dental care to children due to the need for extra Personal Protective Equipment. Thirty eight percent provided urgency/emergency dental care, 59.78% performed invasive procedures, 59.56% used high speed handpieces, 8.44% started using cariostatics, and 6.22% introduced the use of chemomechanical caries removal agents. Fear for the future (PR = 1.21) and use of medications (for anxiety, depression, or insomnia) increased (PR = 1.16) among the ones who had wage losses. Brazilian pediatric dentists have knowledge about COVID-19, and attitudes in their clinical routines changed due the pandemic. Financial life was harmed and a negative impact of the pandemic in psychosocial aspects of workers was found.

Abstract Mammals of the Xenarthra clade show a large number of unusual characters in the skeleton, mainly in the vertebral column. In spite of the importance of the knowledge on the axial skeleton in this group, there are no detailed studies on the morphology of the entire vertebral column. Here we performed a comprehensive study of the vertebral column of Chaetophractus villosus (Desmarest, 1804), a representative of Chlamyphoridae, in order to provide a more reliable comparative framework among armadillos. Morphological description was based on 44 adult postcranial axial skeletons. As a complement to the morphological descriptions of the skeleton we studied the paths followed by blood vessels and nerves in close relationship to the axial skeleton (using 13 fresh adult specimens, six females and seven males, part of the doctoral Thesis of one of the authors). Intraspecific variability in the thoracolumbar number in C. villosus was also evaluated. We identified certain variability in the position of the first vertebral pair that bears a xenarthral facet, ranging from T4-T5 to T6-T7, being T5-T6 and T6-T7 the most frequent positions. The second pair of xenarthrales is set near the thoracolumbar limit, and ranges between T9-T10 and T11-L1 (T10-T11 in most specimens). The variability in the total number of thoracolumbars in C. villosus falls within the range of most mammals and sets controversy about an important morphological feature that groups extant Xenarthra and Afrotheria into the southern placentals (Atlantogenata). In this regard, a more comprehensive study of this character is necessary to elucidate the patterns of distribution of this trait among xenarthrans.

Abstract This study analyzed the import applications for unavailable vital medicines (MVND) submitted to INVIMA and the records of MVND reimbursement requests submitted to the ADRES in the 2016-2017 period. Approximately 76% of the 2,321 MVND import applications were authorized. Eighty-eight applicants, 73 therapeutic subgroups, 195 active ingredients, and 368 diagnoses were identified. Most of the patients registered in the import applications (66%) are linked to the contributory regime, to a lesser extent to the subsidized regime and the Special or exceptional regimes. The total value of the reimbursement requests related to MVND granted by lawsuits, was USD 8,577,583, equivalent to 38,483 UPCs. The results showed that the implementation of Decree N° 481/2004 has ensured access to medicines for rare diseases. However, it is not alien to the structural inequality of access to health services and medicines of the Colombian Health System, which impacts public health and the allocated budget, either because of the high cost of importing MVND or because of the lack of MVND regulation within the national market.

Resumen En este estudio se analizaron las solicitudes de importación de Medicamentos vitales no disponibles (MVND) presentadas al INVIMA y los registros de solicitudes de recobros presentados en la ADRES por MVND, en el periodo 2016-2017. De las 2321 solicitudes de importación de MVND, el 76% fueron autorizadas. Se identificaron 88 solicitantes, 73 subgrupos terapéuticos y 195 principios activos, así como 368 diagnósticos. El 66% de los pacientes registrados en las solicitudes de importación se encuentran vinculados al régimen contributivo, en menor proporción al régimen subsidiado y al régimen especial o excepcional. En solicitudes de recobros asociados a MVND por vía judicial, se observó que, el monto solicitado por recobro fue de USD 8.577.583, equivalentes a 38483 UPCs. Los resultados mostraron que la implementación del decreto 481 de 2004 ha sido útil para garantizar el acceso a medicamentos para enfermedades raras, aunque no es ajena a la inequidad estructural de acceso a servicios de salud y medicamentos del SGSSS y que generan impacto, no solo en la salud pública, si no en el presupuesto asignado, bien sea por el alto costo que implica su importación o por la falta de regulación de estos dentro del mercado nacional.

Abstract The PROFUND index was developed and valid to predict mortality at 12 months in polypathological patients (PP). However, its potential value for predicting in-hospital mortality has not been sufficiently studied. The ability of the PROFUND index in comparison with C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, and red blood cell distribu tion width (RDW) to predict in-hospital mortality was evaluated through the subsequent analysis of a prospective cohort of 111 multiple pathological patients admitted to the clinic medical. The mean age was 75.8 ± 9.3 years. In-hospital mortality was 17% (19 patients). The median (IQR) of the PROFUND index, albumin, CRP and ADE in the deceased and survivors was 12 (4) and 6 (7) p < 0.0001, 2.5 (0.4) and 2.6 (0.8) p 0.295, 58 (64) and 40 (60) p 0.176, 14.5 (2) and 14.6 (3) p 0.523, respectively. The multivariate logistic analysis showed that the PROFUND index is associated with in-hospital mortality (p 0.0003). The risk of dying during hospitalization is 20% higher for each point that the PROFUND index increases (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1-1.4). The area under the curve the receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) of the PROFUND index to predict mortality during hospitalization (0.760, 95% CI 0.628-0.891) was higher than that of the RDW, CRP and albumin (0.494 95% CI 0.364-0.624 p 0.012; 0.583 95% CI 0.437-0.728 p 0.028; 0.621 0.494-0.748 p 0.109, respectively). The PROFUND index is associated with in-hospital mortality, with a greater predictive capacity than the biomarkers studied, which would add to its long-term prognostic value in multiple pathological patients.

Resumen El índice PROFUND se desarrolló y validó para predecir mortalidad a 12 meses en pacientes pluripatológicos. Sin embargo, su valor potencial para predecir mortalidad intrahospitalaria no ha sido suficientemente estudiado. Se evaluó la capacidad del índice PROFUND en comparación con la proteína C re activa (PCR), la albúmina, y el ancho de distribución eritrocitaria (ADE) para predecir mortalidad intrahospitalaria, mediante el análisis posterior de una cohorte prospectiva de 111 pacientes pluripatológicos internados en clínica médica. La edad promedio fue 75.8 ± 9.3 años. La mortalidad intrahospitalaria fue de 17% (19 pacientes). La mediana (RIQ) del índice PROFUND, albúmina, PCR y ADE en los fallecidos y sobrevivientes fue 12 (4) y 6 (7) p< 0.0001, 2.5 (0.4) y 2.6 (0.8) p 0.295, 58 (64) y 40 (60) p 0.176, 14.5 (2) y 14.6 (3) p 0.523, respectivamente. El análisis logístico multivariado mostró que el índice PROFUND se asocia con mortalidad intrahospitalaria (p 0.0003). El riesgo de fallecer durante la internación es 20% mayor por cada punto que se incrementa el índice PROFUND (OR 1.2, IC95% 1.1-1.4). El área bajo la curva de las características operativas del receptor (AUC-ROC) del índice PROFUND para predecir mortalidad durante la internación (0.760, IC95% 0.628-0.891) fue mayor a la del ADE, PCR y albúmina (0.494 IC95% 0.364-0.624 p 0.012; 0.583 IC95% 0.437-0.728 p 0.028; 0.621 0.494-0.748 p 0.109, respectivamente). El índice PROFUND se asocia a mortalidad intrahospitalaria, con una mayor capacidad predictiva que los biomarcadores estudiados, lo cual se sumaría a su valor pronóstico a largo plazo en pacientes pluripatológicos.

ABSTRACT Background: Different scenarios have emerged with the advent of minimally invasive approaches; transoral endoscopic parathyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOEPVA) is a technique with promising results. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the surgical technique and the experience gained. Material and methods: We describe 3 patients with asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma and one case of tertiary hyperparathyroidism with parathyroid hyperplasia with clinical signs and presence of lesions in imaging tests. Results: In 3 patients operative time was 202.5 minutes. The patients had adequate tolerance to pain and remained hospitalized for 24 hours. One patient with ectopic parathyroid adenoma required conversion to open surgery that was complicated with an accidental esophageal injury. Intraoperative parathormone levels decreased by > 50% compared by baseline values in all the cases. Conclusions: This minimally invasive procedure is reproducible but should be used in selected cases as it is not free of complications.

RESUMEN Antecedentes: con el advenimiento de los abordajes mininvasivos se han planteado diferentes escenarios; la paratiroidectomía transoral endoscópica por abordaje vestibular (TOEPVA) es una técnica con resultados prometedores. Objetivos: describir la técnica quirúrgica y la experiencia obtenida. Material y métodos: se seleccionaron 3 pacientes asintomáticos con hiperparatiroidismo primario por adenoma paratiroideo y un caso de hiperparatiroidismo terciario con hiperplasia paratiroidea clínica e imagenológicamente identificables. Resultados: en 3 de los pacientes, el tiempo quirúrgico fue de 202,5 minutos. La tolerancia al dolor fue buena y la internación abarcó 24 horas. En uno de los casos con adenoma paratiroideo de ubicación ectópica se realizó la conversión de la cirugía con una apertura esofágica accidental. En todos los casos se obtuvo un descenso de parathormona intraoperatoria superior al 50% sobre el basal. Conclusiones: creemos importante aplicar dicho procedimiento en casos seleccionados, pues es una alternativa mininvasiva reproducible aunque no exenta de complicaciones.

RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar prevalência e duração de aleitamento materno (AM) e sua associação com sobrepeso/obesidade em escolares de 7-14 anos. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado em 2012-2013, com escolares de 7-14 anos de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Peso e altura foram mensurados segundo preconizado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). Dados sociodemográficos e sobre AM foram obtidos por questionários enviados aos responsáveis/cuidadores. A variável amamentação foi analisada como dicotômica (sim/não) e por duração (em meses). O perfil antropométrico foi avaliado por escore Z do índice de massa corporal (IMC) para a idade, segundo sexo, categorizado em: normal (<escore Z+1) e sobrepreso/obesidade (≥escore Z+1). Análises ajustadas foram realizadas (regressão logística) em dois estratos etários (7-10 e 11-14 anos). Resultados: 6,6% dos escolares nunca tinham sido amamentados, 16,8% foram amamentados por ≤3 meses, 16,7% por 4-6 meses e 59,9% por ≥7 meses. Não houve diferença estatística de ocorrência/duração de AM entre os grupos etários. A prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade foi 34,2%. Nos grupos etários (7-10 e 11-14 anos), a prevalência foi 36,7% e 29,8%, respectivamente. A chance de sobrepeso/obesidade nos escolares de 7-10 anos foi menor entre aqueles que tinham sido amamentados (OR=0,54; IC95% 0,33-0,88), comparando com os nunca amamentados. Quando categorizada, a chance de ter sobrepeso/obesidade nos escolares de 7-10 anos foi menor quando a duração do AM foi ≤3 meses (OR=0,41; IC95% 0,20-0,83) e 4-6 meses (OR=0,48; IC95% 0,28-0,82), em comparação à ausência de AM. Conclusões: AM por pelo menos seis meses foi associado com menor chance de sobrepeso/obesidade para escolares de 7-10 anos. Não foi observada associação para o grupo 11-14 anos.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of breastfeeding (BF) and the association between occurrence/duration of BF and overweight/obesity in schoolchildren aged 7-14 years. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in 2012-2013, on schoolchildren aged 7-14 years from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil. Weight and height were measured according to procedures of the World Health Organization. Breastfeeding and sociodemographic data were obtained from a questionnaire responded by parents/guardians. BF was categorized as a dichotomous variable (yes/no) and according to duration (months). Nutritional status was evaluated according to the Z score of the body mass index per age for sex and it was categorized into two groups: normal weight (<Z score+1) and overweight/obesity (≥Z score+1). The adjusted analysis was performed by logistic regression in two age strata (age groups of 7-10 and 11-14 years). Results: 6.6% of schoolchildren had never breastfed; 16.8% had been breastfed for ≤3 months; 16.7%, for 4-6 months; and 59.9%, for ≥7 months. No statistically significant differences were found in the occurrence and duration of BF between the age groups. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 34.2%. For age groups (7-10 and 11-14 years), the prevalence of overweight/obesity was 36.7% and 29.8%, respectively. Chance of overweight/obesity for the age group of 7-10 years was lower among schoolchildren who were breastfed (OR=0.54; 95%CI 0.33-0.88), when compared with those who never breastfed. When categorized, the chance of overweight/obesity in the age group of 7-10 years was lower for duration of BF ≤3 months (OR=0.41; 95%CI 0.20-0.83), and 4-6 months (OR=0.48; 95%CI 0.28-0.82) when compared with children who never breastfed. Conclusions: BF for at least six months was associated with a lower chance of overweight/obesity for schoolchildren aged 7-10 years. No association was found for schoolchildren aged 11-14 years.

Abstract Background: Clinically evident interstitial lung disease (ILD) affects between 10 and 42% of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Airway involvement seems to be even more common. Most of the available evidence comes from studies performed in established RA patients. The aim of our study was to know the prevalence of non-diagnosed lung disease (airway and interstitial involvement) in patients with early RA and look for associated factors. Methods: We designed an observational, multicenter, cross-sectional study, and included patients with RA of less than two years since diagnosis. We performed a structured questionnaire, HRCT and lung functional tests looking for lung disease, together with joint disease evaluation. We analyzed which variables were associated with the presence of lung disease on HRCT. Results: We included 83 patients, 83% females. The median (IQR) of time since RA diagnosis was 3 (1–6) months. In the HRCT, 57 patients had airway compromisea (72%), and 6 had interstitial abnormalities (7.5%). The most common altertion found in lung functional tests was a reduced DLCO (14%). The presence of at least one abnormality in the physical exam was associated with lung involvement on HRCT [13 (21.6%) vs 0 (0%); p = 0.026]. Also, patients with lung involvement presented significantly lower values of FVC% and DLCO%, and higher values of RV/TLC. No variable related to joint involvement was found associated with alterations in HRCT. Conclusion: Our study shows that a large proportion of early RA patients has abnormal findings in HRCT. Further studies are required to confirm these findings.

Resumo A oclusão arterial aguda do membro inferior continua sendo um grande desafio para o cirurgião vascular. A abordagem cirúrgica depende principalmente da gravidade da lesão tecidual e da duração dos sintomas. Diversas técnicas estão disponíveis no arsenal terapêutico atual; porém, independentemente da técnica escolhida, fatores pós-operatórios, como o escoamento arterial limitado e o baixo fluxo nos substitutos arteriais, podem contribuir negativamente no resultado da revascularização. Descrevemos um caso de oclusão arterial aguda de membro inferior, no pós-operatório de uma derivação femorotibial, que se encontrava ocluída devido a limitação de escoamento e a alta resistência vascular periférica. Foi submetido a nova revascularização femorotibial, associada à confecção de uma fístula arteriovenosa, seguido de amputação de antepé e enxerto parcial de pele. O investimento enérgico no membro em risco possibilita reduzir os desfechos desfavoráveis, como amputação e óbito, e acelera a recuperação dos tecidos acometidos pela isquemia aguda.

Abstract Acute arterial occlusion remains a major challenge for the vascular surgeon. The therapeutic approach depends mostly upon the severity of the tissue injury and the duration of symptoms. Several techniques are available in the current therapeutic arsenal, however, regardless of the technique chosen, postoperative factors frequently observed, such as poor outflow status, or even low graft flow, can contribute negatively to the outcome of revascularization. We describe a case of acute limb ischemia, in the postoperative period of a femoral-tibial bypass, which was occluded due to outflow limitation and high peripheral vascular resistance. The patient underwent a second tibial revascularization combined with construction of an arteriovenous fistula, followed by forefoot amputation and partial skin graft. An energetic approach to the at-risk limb makes it possible to reduce unfavorable outcomes, such as amputation and death, and accelerates recovery of tissues affected by acute ischemia.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of amphiregulin protein, an epidermal growth factor receptor ligand, in cartilaginous tumors. METHODS: Amphiregulin expression was examined in 31 enchondromas and 67 chondrosarcomas using immunohistochemistry analysis. RESULTS: Overall, 15 enchondromas (48.40%) and 24 chondrosarcomas (35.82%) were positive for amphiregulin. According to the receiver operating characteristic curve test, no difference in amphiregulin expression was observed between enchondromas and low-grade chondrosarcomas (p=0.0880). Additionally, 39 lesions (16 in short bones, 13 in long bones, and 10 in flat bones) were positive for amphiregulin, exhibiting a higher percentage of positive cells (p=0.0030) and intensity of immunohistochemical expression (p=0.0055) in short bone lesions than in others. Among 25 enchondromas localized in short bones, 15 expressed amphiregulin; however, all 6 cases localized in long bones were negative for this marker (p=0.0177). CONCLUSIONS: Amphiregulin did not help in distinguishing enchondromas from low-grade chondrosarcomas. The present study is the first to document the expression of this immunohistochemical marker in enchondromas. Furthermore, amphiregulin expression in enchondromas was localized in short bones, indicating a phenotypic distinction from that in long bones. This distinction may contribute to an improved understanding of the pathogenesis of these lesions.

Abstract The PROFUND index is one of the suggested prognostic scores in pluripathological patients (PP). Despite the prognostic value of malnutrition and its prevalence in this population, it does not include a variable that estimates nutritional status. Subjective global assessment (SGA) is a widely validated tool for this purpose. The prognostic capacity of 12-month mortality of PROFUND index and SGA in PP admitted to a medical clinic was evaluated by a prospective and observational study. 111 patients entered the study. Age 75.8 (± 9.3) years. PROFUND index 7.6 (± 4.7) points. 60.1% had moderate-severe malnutrition due to VGS. 66 died within the year. In the Cox model, SGA and PROFUND index are associated with mortality at 12 months (p <0.0001 and p 0.0026 respectively). In severe malnutrition, the risk is approximately 6 times higher compared to normonutrition (HR: 6.514, 95% CI 2.826-15.016) and for the same level of SGA, the risk is 10% higher for each point that the PROFUND index increases (HR: 1.106, 95% CI 1.036-1.181). The AUC for predicting 12-month mortality from PROFUND index and SGA was: 0.747 (95% CI: 0.656-0.838); 0.733 (95% CI: 0.651-0.816) and when combining the two variables: 0.788 (95% CI: 0.703-0.872, p 0.048). In conclusion, PROFUND index and SGA are associated with mortality and have a similar prognostic value. The combination of both tools would allow better prognosis and management in this complex population.

Resumen El índice PROFUND es una de las puntuaciones pronósticas sugeridas en pacientes pluripatológicos (PP). A pesar del valor pronóstico de la desnutrición y su prevalencia en esta población, el mismo no incluye una variable que estime el estado nutricional. La valoración global subjetiva (VGS) es una herramienta ampliamente validada para tal fin. Se evaluó mediante un estudio prospectivo y observacional, la capacidad pronóstica de mortalidad a 12 meses del índice PROFUND y VGS en PP internados en clínica médica. Ingresaron al estudio 111 pacientes. Edad 75.8 (± 9.3) años. Índice PROFUND 7.6 (± 4.7) puntos. El 60.1% presentaba desnutrición moderada-severa por VGS. Fallecieron 66 dentro del año. En el modelo de Cox, la VGS y el índice PROFUND se asocian con mortalidad a los 12 meses (p < 0.0001 y p 0.0026 respectivamente). En los desnutridos severos, el riesgo es aproximadamente 6 veces mayor en comparación a los normonutridos (HR: 6.514, IC95% 2.826-15.016) y para un mismo nivel de VGS, el riesgo es un 10% mayor por cada punto que aumenta el índice PROFUND (HR: 1.106, IC95% 1.036-1.181). El AUC para predecir mortalidad a 12 meses del índice PROFUND y VGS fue: 0.747 (IC95%: 0.656-0.838); 0.733 (IC95%: 0.651-0.816) y al combinar las dos variables: 0.788 (IC95%: 0.703-0.872, p 0.048). Como conclusión el índice PROFUND y la VGS se asocian con mortalidad y tienen un valor pronóstico similar. La combinación de ambas herramientas permitiría establecer mejor el pronóstico y el manejo en esta compleja población
