    Adherencia a la suplementación con vitamina D y factores determinantes de ella, durante el primer año de vida
    (2014) Arancibia Cabala, Mónica Claudia; Reyes General, María Loreto; Cerda Lorca, Jaime Rodrigo
    Introduction: Breastfed infants under one year of age may not get enough vitamin D; therefore a vitamin supplement is needed. The adherence to this policy has not yet been evaluated in Chile. Objective: To evaluate the adherence to vitamin D supplementation in children less than one year old and the determinant factors involved. Patients and Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out in three Catholic University Health Network centers. Breastfed infants under one year of age were included in the study. Their parents/guardians filled out a questionnaire about adherence to supplementation and its determinant factors. Results: 170 infants were recruited. 164 of them received supplementation, with a good adherence of 68.9%. The main reason for non-adherence was due to maternal forgetfulness. The identified risk factor for poor adherence was the number of maternal children. Conclusions: Vitamin D supplementation in Chile reaches high levels, but its adherence is poor. More education to parents on ways to avoid forgetting the supplement is needed as well as on identifying risk factors during medical consultations.

    Barreras de acceso a tratamiento en Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria: Una revisión de la literatura
    (2023) Castañeda Caro, Felipe Marcelo; Riestra Siede, Francisca; Cerda Lorca, Jaime Rodrigo
    Introducción: Los trastornos alimentarios (TCA) son trastornos mentales incapacitantes, mortales y costosos. De acuerdo a datos recientes, Chile tiene la prevalencia más alta tanto de anorexia nervosa (AN) como bulimia nervosa (BN) en Latinoamérica. Sin embargo, no existe información publicada respecto a las barreras que experimentan pacientes con TCA en Chile hasta su tratamiento. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo revisar y sintetizar lo disponible en la literatura en cuanto a barreras de acceso a tratamiento para pacientes con TCA. Metodología: se desarrolló una búsqueda en la literatura a través de PubMed/Medline, PsychInfo, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Scielo y Google Scholar. 72 estudios fueron pesquisados para lectura a texto completo. Resultados: 53 estudios fueron incluidos, siendo todos conducidos en países desarrollados. Se encontró un amplio abanico de barreras, las que pueden clasificarse según actuar predominantemente a nivel del paciente con TCA, del entorno familiar y social, de los profesionales de salud, del contexto sociocultural, y del sistema de salud. Las barreras encontradas en más estudios fueron los síntomas egosintónicos del paciente y el estigma social asociado al TCA. Discusión: El contexto nacional llama a discutir problemas de acceso en el tratamiento para pacientes con TCA en Chile. Las barreras encontradas en la literatura deben ser consideradas al momento de diseñar políticas públicas, aunque debería recalcarse más el papel que pudiera tener el costo del tratamiento como una barrera local.

    Variación estacional de las defunciones por infarto agudo del miocardio en Chile
    (2021) Cerda Lorca, Jaime Rodrigo; Bambs Sandoval, Claudia Elena
    Background: Hospitalization and deaths due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), have a peak in frequency during winter.Aim:To assess the existence of seasonal variation in deaths due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Chile.Material and Methods:Analysis of death report databases available at the website of the Chilean Ministry of Health. The seasonality of deaths due to AMI (codes ICD-10 I21, I22, I23) occuring in Chile between 2001-2016 were analyzed using a geometric model assuming a sinusoidal cyclic pattern.Results:During the period 2001-2016, a total of 94,788 deaths due to AMI were registered, corresponding to 93,349 corrected deaths. Of the latter, 29.2% occurred in winter, 24.9% in spring, 24.0% in autumn and 21.8% in summer. The geometric model showed a marked sinusoidal pattern for the aggregated data. The peak-to-low ratio of deaths was 1.41 (95% CI 1.38-1.44). The peak of deaths occurred during July in 14 out of 16 years analyzed.Conclusions:In Chile, deaths due to AMI have a marked seasonal pattern, characterized by a higher number of deaths in winter and a lower number in summer.
