Socioeconomic disparities in adult mortality in Latin America
INTRODUCTION: Large socioeconomic disparities in healthcare utilisation and health outcomes have been well-documented in Latin American countries. However, little is known about disparities in mortality rates. We estimate socioeconomic gradients in mortality in the Latin American region and discuss their patterns. METHODS: We use death certificate data from the national vital statistics systems and population data from national censuses in Argent…
Socioeconomic inequalities in infant mortality in Colombia
BACKGROUND: Although socioeconomic inequalities in infant mortality are well-documented globally, there is limited evidence from longitudinal studies, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. This study investigates the association between maternal socioeconomic conditions, health system affiliation and infant mortality, and it measures the related socioeconomic inequalities in Colombia over a decade. METHODS: A retrospective cohor…

Understanding How Socioeconomic Inequalities Drive Inequalities in Covid-19 Infections
Sars-CoV-2 Spread, Detection, and Dynamics in a Megacity in Latin America
The impact of civil conflict on child health
Integración vertical en el sector colombiano de la salud
This paper provides a literature review dealing with vertical integration in healthcare systems with a special emphasis in the Colombian health care sector. We start by introducing some general concerns about vertical integration by presenting some of its traditional advantages and disadvantages. Next, we focus on the consequences of vertical integration in the healthcare sector, taking advantage of the US experience. Then, we describe the Colomb…
Mortality among critically ill patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia
Methicillin resistance per se was not a mortality-independent prognostic factor. Previous conditions, such as age, baseline renal impairment, severe sepsis, and inotropy demand explained the observed mortality. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy remained a protective factor. A call to improve infection control measures in Colombia is mandatory
