Abstract Introduction The time elapsed from diagnosis to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is influenced by numerous factors. In Brazil, patients using the public health system are also dependent on the availability of HSCT-specific beds in the hematology ward. Objective and Methods We conducted a cohort study of listed patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT at a Brazilian public hospital to investigate the impact of the waitlist time on post-HSCT survival. Results The median time from diagnosis to HSCT was 19 months (IQR, 10 - 43), of which 6 months (IQR, 3 - 9) were spent on the waitlist. The time on the waitlist for HSCT appeared to influence mainly the survival of adult patients (≥ 18 years), with an increasing risk according to this time (RR, 3.53 and 95%CI, 1.81 - 6.88 for > 3 and ≤ 6 months; RR 5.86 and 95%CI, 3.26 - 10.53 for > 6 and ≤ 12 months, and; RR 4.24 and 95%CI, 2.32 - 7.75 for > 12 months). Conclusion Patients who remained on the waitlist for less than 3 months had the highest survival (median survival, 856 days; IQR, 131 - 1607). The risk of reduced survival was about 6-fold higher (95%CI, 2.8 - 11.5) in patients with malignancies.

Conclusão: a experiência exitosa confirma o quão importante é fazer pesquisa na prática de trabalho, desde que os profissionais sejam treinados e contem com o apoio adequado, pois a rotina de trabalho é compatível com a execução do protocolo de pesquisa.

Abstract Objective: to describe the perception of data collection performed by primary health care professionals as collaborators of the national POP-Brasil survey - Epidemiological Study of National Prevalence of HPV Infection. Methods: in all, 217 professionals from 119 primary care units participated in the POP-Brasil Study conducted in the 26 Brazilian capitals and the Federal District. Results: the professionals were trained and certified locally for collecting data and biological material from 8,580 participants; participation in the study allowed professionals to recognize the importance of their work. Conclusion: the successful experience confirms how important it is to do research as part of work practice, as long as professionals are trained and have adequate support, given that their work routine is compatible with the execution of the research protocol.

To assess the adequacy of food intake in severely obese patients and describe their main nutritional deficiencies on the basis of Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). Patients on a waiting list for bariatric surgery were sequentially recruited from March 2010 to November 2011. All subjects underwent nutritional status assessment (anthropometry, dietary recall and semi-structured interview), socioeconomic evaluation (Brazilian Association of Research Companies criteria) and laboratory testing (glucose/hormone/lipid panel). A total of 77 patients were assessed, 50 of whom (76.6%) were female. Mean age was 44.48±12.55 years. The most common comorbidities were hypertension (72.4%), binge eating disorder (47.4%), type 2 diabetes mellitus (32.9%), sleep apnea (30.3%) and dyslipidemia (18.4%). Macronutrient intake was largely adequate, in view of the high calorie intake. However, some micronutrient deficiencies were present. Only 19.5% of patients had an adequate intake of potassium, 26.0% of calcium, and 66.2% of iron. All subjects consumed more than the minimum recommended intake of sodium, with 98.7% reaching the upper limit. B-complex vitamin intake was satisfactory (adequate in >80% of subjects), but lipid-soluble vitamin (A, D, E) intake often fell short of the RDI. The diet of severely obese patients is unbalanced, with high calorie intake paralleled by insufficient micronutrient intake. When these patients are assessed and managed, qualitative dietary changes should be considered in addition to routine caloric restriction.

Evaluar la adecuación de la dieta de los pacientes con obesidad severa y describir las principales deficiencias nutricionales a través del DRI. Los pacientes fueron seleccionados de forma secuencial, lo que indica la cirugía bariátrica en el periodo de marzo 2010 a noviembre 2011. Todos los pacientes fueron sometidos a la evaluación del estado nutricional (antropometría y la ingesta dietética) y metabólicos (perfiles de lípidos, hormonas y glucosa). Se evaluaron 77 pacientes (edad media ± DE) de 44,48 ± 12,55 años. Cincuenta pacientes (76,6% de la muestra) eran mujeres. Las comorbilidades más frecuentes fueron la hipertensión arterial (72,4%), trastorno por atracón (47,4%), diabetes mellitus (32.9%), apnea del sueño (30,3%) y la dislipemia (18,4%). El consumo de nutrientes fue generalmente adecuada, teniendo en cuenta la ingesta calórica alta. Sin embargo, se identificaron algunas deficiencias de micronutrientes. Sólo 19,5% de los pacientes alcanzar la ingesta recomendada mínima de potasio, de calcio 26,0%, y 66,2% de hierro. En cuanto a sodio, toda la muestra alcanza el mínimo recomendado, sin embargo, llegar a la UL 98,7% para el sodio. Las vitaminas del grupo B han evaluado el consumo satisfactorios, llegando a más del 80% de las necesidades, pero las vitaminas liposolubles A, D y E se consume a menudo por debajo de la ingesta diaria recomendada. La dieta del paciente obeso no está equilibrado. Un gran consumo de calorías se acompaña de una ingesta deficiente de micronutrientes. En la evaluación de estos pacientes, cambios en la dieta cualitativos deben ser considerados simultáneamente con la restricción calórica.
