RESUMO: Objetivo: Determinar a associação entre a discriminação percebida e o recebimento de tratamento adequado para doenças crônicas em migrantes venezuelanos. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal. Esta é uma análise secundária da pesquisa nacional Venezuelan Population Residing in the Country Survey do Peru. A associação entre discriminação percebida e receber tratamento adequado para doenças crônicas foi avaliada por meio de um modelo de regressão de Poisson, considerando o efeito ajustado da amostra em múltiplos estágios. Resultados: Foram avaliados 865 migrantes (idade: 36,6 ± 0,7 anos e 58,2% mulheres). Destes, 54,8% perceberam discriminação e 89,2% não receberam tratamento para a doença crônica. A discriminação percebida foi significativamente associada à menor prevalência de receber adequado tratamento para doenças crônicas (razão de prevalência ajustada — RPa = 0,49, intervalo de confiança de 95% — IC95% 0,25 – 0,97). Conclusão: Este estudo mostrou que a discriminação percebida diminui a prevalência de receber adequado tratamento para doenças crônicas em 50%, em comparação com aqueles que não percebem a discriminação.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To determine the association between perceived discrimination and receiving adequate treatment for chronic diseases in Venezuelan migrants. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was performed. This is a secondary analysis of the ENPOVE national survey from Peru. The association between the perceived discrimination and receiving adequate treatment for chronic diseases was evaluated using a Poisson regression model, considering the adjusted effect of the multistage sampling. Results: A total of 865 migrants were evaluated (age: 36.6 ± 0.7 years and 58.2% women). Of these, 54.8% perceived discrimination, and 89.2% did not receive adequate treatment for chronic diseases. Perceived discrimination was significantly associated with a lower prevalence of receiving adequate treatment for chronic diseases (PRa = 0.49; 95%CI 0.25 – 0.97). Conclusion: This study evidenced that perceived discrimination decreases the prevalence of receiving adequate treatment for chronic diseases by approximately 50% compared with those who did not perceive discrimination.

Background: The delayed HIV diagnosis with CD4 count is a public health problem. Objective: To determinate the frequency and the factors associated with a late diagnosis (LD) and to an advanced disease (AD) of HIV infection in patients from a Peruvian hospital. Materials and Methods: Analytic and transversal study of secondary data from adult’s patients diagnostic with HIV during the period 1999-2012. Results and Conclusions: From 1,714 patients, 82.6% (1416) had LD, and 64.5% (1106) were diagnostic with AD. Were associated with them: being of male sex (LD: 17% and AD: 28%; p < 0.001), have between 41-60 years (LD: 9% and AD: 15%; p < 0.001), have more than 60 years old (LD: 14% and AD: 23%; p < 0.003), being bisexual (LD: 18% and AD: 43%; p < 0.001), drugs abusers (LD: 24% and AD: 64%; p < 0.001). Being heterosexual was associated with less frequency (LD: 12% and AD: 19%; p < 0.001). The frequency of LD and AD of HIV are high and factors associated with them were male sex, being 40 years old or more, and belonging to sexually risk groups (homosexuals and bisexuals) and drugs abusers.

Introducción: La demora en el diagnóstico de la infección por VIH mediante el recuento de LT CD4 es un problema de salud pública. Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia y factores asociados al diagnóstico tardío (DT) y enfermedad avanzada (EA) de infección por VIH en pacientes atendidos en un hospital peruano. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio transversal analítico de datos secundarios de pacientes adultos con diagnóstico de infección por VIH atendidos durante el período 1999-2012. Resultados y Discusión: De 1.714 pacientes, 82,6% (1.416) tuvo DT y 64,5% (1.106) EA. Estuvieron asociados con una mayor frecuencia: el sexo masculino (DT: 17% y EA: 28%; p < 0,001), edad entre 41-60 años (DT: 9% y EA: 15%; p < 0,001), edad mayor a 60 años (DT: 14% y EA: 23%; p < 0,003), orientación bisexual (DT: 18% y EA: 43%; p < 0,001), orientación homosexual (DT: 8%; p < 0,001) y usuarios de drogas (DT: 24% y EA: 64%; p < 0,001). El ser heterosexual estuvo asociado a una menor frecuencia (DT: 12% y EA: 19%; p < 0,001). Conclusión: Se encontró una alta la frecuencia de DT y la EA, y los factores asociados a éstas fueron: sexo masculino, grupos sobre 40 años de edad, grupos sexuales de riesgo (homosexuales y bisexuales) y consumidores de drogas.

Background: International tourism is increasing. Preventive Medicine remains important, especially the Pre-Travel Consultation (PTC). Objective: To determinate, the characteristics of tourists associated with PTC in tourists at Cuzco, Peru. Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical study, a secondary analysis of data from a database generated by survey of foreign tourists who visited Cuzco, in the waiting room of the airport was performed. The main variable was to have had a PTC at the tourist's country of residence, the area of residence was categorized according to health/risk of acquiring infectious diseases as traveler's diarrhea during their stay. These and other variables were analyzed and statistical association with generalized linear models were done. Results: Of the 1827 tourists, 875 (48%) were men, with a median age of 33 years (range 18-88 years); 42% had a PTC. In the multivariate analysis, it was found that a PTC lower frequency was associated with male gender (aPR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.75-0.94), and a higher frequency was associated with have born (aPR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.39-2.27) and reside in an area of low risk of acquiring infectious diseases (aPR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.26-3.00), adjusted for the history of a disease. Conclusions: Sex, region of birth and residence of tourists (as risk of acquiring infectious diseases) are associated with having a PTC. These findings may serve the health and government attending tourists who come to our country.

Introducción: El turismo internacional continúa aumentando, siendo la medicina preventiva un pilar importante, como las consultas pre viaje (CPV). Objetivo: Determinar las características del turista asociadas a CPV en turistas que visitan Cusco. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio analítico transversal, de análisis de datos secundarios, a partir de una base de datos generada por encuesta aplicada a turistas extranjeros que visitaron el Cusco, en la sala de espera del aeropuerto. La variable principal fue haber tenido CPV en el país de residencia del turista. La zona de residencia se categorizó según la salubridad/riesgo de los turistas para adquirir enfermedades-infectocontagiosas como la diarrea del viajero durante su estadía. Estas y otras variables fueron analizadas y se obtuvieron estadísticos de asociación con los modelos lineales generalizados. Resultados: De los 1.827 turistas, 875 (48%) fueron hombres, con mediana de edad de 33 años (rango 18-88 años). El 42% tuvo una CPV. En el análisis multivariado, se encontró que estuvo asociado a una menor frecuencia de CPV el sexo masculino (RPa: 0,84; IC 95%: 0,750,94%), y a una mayor frecuencia de CPV el haber nacido (RPa: 1,77; IC 95%: 1,39-2,27) y residir en una zona de bajo riesgo para adquirir enfermedades infecciosas (RPa: 1,95; IC 95%: 1,26-3,00), ajustado por el antecedente de una enfermedad. Discusión: El sexo, la zona de nacimiento y residencia del turista (según riesgo de adquirir enfermedades infecciosas) son factores asociados a tener una CPV. Estos hallazgos pueden servir a las instituciones de salud y gubernamentales que atienden a turistas que vienen a nuestro país.

In order to determine whether scientific societies registered in the Latin American Federation of Medical Students Societies (FELSOCEM, according to its Spanish initials) have management documents and their characteristics according to each society type, during the annual 2014 FELSOCEM meeting in Cordoba, Argentina, a cross-sectional analytical survey was performed. Statistical results according to two patterns were obtained (medical school type: public/private or beingor not federated- themaximumcategory ofthescientific society in FELSOCEM-). Of the 58 answers obtained, very few societies had specific advisors (25%), and some had rules for their advisors (35%) and for their activities (43%). When analyseswere performed, societies from private medical schools lessfrequently had regulations for their advisors (p= 0.044) and for periodically reviewing functions of their managers (p= 0.011). Federated societies more frequently had general advisors (p= 0.012), and they more frequently periodically reviewed their statutes (p= 0.038) and regulations (p= 0.047). Medical students societies assessed have deficiencies in their internal management systems.

Para determinar si las sociedades científicas afiliadas a la Federación Latinoamericana de Sociedades Científicas de Estudiantes de Medicina (FELSOCEM) poseen documentos de gestión y sus características según el tipo de sociedad, se realizó un estudio transversal analítico, durante la asamblea anual FELSOCEM, Córdoba-Argentina, 2014. Se obtuvo resultados estadísticos según dos características (tipo de universidad: pública/privada o el ser o no Federada -máxima categoría de la sociedad científica ante FELSOCEM-). De las 58 respuestas, muy pocos contaban con asesores específicos (25%), reglamentación para sus asesores (35%) y actividades societarias (43%). Al realizar en análisis, las sociedades de universidades privadas tuvieron menos frecuencia de reglamentación de los asesores (p=0,044) y de revisar periódicamente las funciones de los directivos (p=0,011). Las sociedades federadas tenían con más frecuencia asesores generales (p=0,012), revisaban periódicamente sus estatutos (p=0,038) y reglamentos (p=0,047). Las sociedades científicas estudiantiles evaluadas tienen deficiencias en su sistema de administración interna.
