Validación en español para Colombia de la Escala de Columbia para evaluar la severidad de riesgo suicida (C-SSRS) en adultos
Introducción: El suicidio es un grave problema de salud pública cuya reducción o prevención puede ser lograda gracias a la adecuada identificación del riesgo en quienes presentan ciertas conductas. La estandarización de un método basado en evidencia para evaluar el riesgo suicida es indispensable en la práctica clínica diaria. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la adaptación lingüística y psicométrica de la versión en español para Colombia …
Socioeconomic status is positively associated with measures of adiposity and insulin resistance, but inversely associated with dyslipidaemia in Colombian children
BACKGROUND: Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been associated with higher risk of cardiometabolic diseases in developed societies, but investigation of SES and cardiometabolic risk in children in less economically developed populations is sparse. We aimed to examine associations among SES and cardiometabolic risk factors in Colombian children. METHODS: We used data from a population-based study of 1282 children aged 6-10 years from Bucaramanga, …
Adiposity indices in the prediction of insulin resistance in prepubertal Colombian children
Objective To compare BMI with abdominal skinfold thickness (ASF), waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio in the prediction of insulin resistance (IR) in prepubertal Colombian children. Design We calculated age- and sex-specific Z -scores for BMI, ASF, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and three other skinfold-thickness sites. Logistic regression with stepwise selection ( P = 0·80 for entry and P = 0·05 for retention) was performed…
Misconduct in Medical Students
Medical students, subject to unique challenges and stressors, frequently engage in misconduct. In this observational study, carried out in a medical school in Colombia, we developed a survey to explore the association between misconduct and stress, potential stressors and other possible contributing factors, such as sex, age and academic year. Of the 433 students that responded to our survey, 97.9% did not fully disagree with at least one of the …
