Implementation and evaluation of an insulin use manual in the public health system of a Peruvian Region
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is a major public health issue, especially in low-and middle- income countries (LMICs) where barriers to care are common. Despite insulin's critical role, access remains limited due to market concentration, weak policies, poor availability, and lack of trained staff. This study evaluated the implementation of an insulin use manual in Tumbes, Peru, focusing on healthcare workers training and systemic barriers. METHODS: This wa…
Association Between Relative Leg Length and Insulin Resistance in Rural, Urban and Rural–Urban Migrant Populations of Peru
OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between relative leg length and insulin resistance according to rural, urban, and rural-urban migrant groups. METHODS: Cross-sectional study using data from the PERU MIGRANT study (2007-2008). The exposure was relative leg length categorized as short, normal, or long, and the outcome was insulin resistance (logarithm of homeostatic model assessment log-HOMA2-IR). Linear regression models with log transforma…
Core outcome sets for trials of interventions to prevent and to treat multimorbidity in adults in low and middle-income countries
INTRODUCTION: The burden of multimorbidity is recognised increasingly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), creating a strong emphasis on the need for effective evidence-based interventions. Core outcome sets (COS) appropriate for the study of multimorbidity in LMICs do not presently exist. These are required to standardise reporting and contribute to a consistent and cohesive evidence-base to inform policy and practice. We describe the de…
Type 2 diabetes mellitus and antibiotic-resistant infections
Diagnostics and monitoring tools for noncommunicable diseases
A key component of any health system is the capacity to accurately diagnose individuals. One of the six building blocks of a health system as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) includes diagnostic tools. The WHO’s Noncommunicable Disease Global Action Plan includes addressing the lack of diagnostics for noncommunicable diseases, through multi-stakeholder collaborations to develop new technologies that are affordable, safe, effective a…
Los retos del cuidado de las personas con diabetes durante el estado de emergencia nacional por la Covid-19 en Lima, Perú
Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, who then become infected with SARS-CoV-2, are at greater risk of developing complications from COVID-19, which may even lead to death. Diabetes is a chronic condition that requires continuous contact with healthcare facilities; therefore, this type of patients should have regular access to medicines, tests and appointments with healthcare personnel. In Peru, care and treatment continuity have been…
Training opportunities for noncommunicable diseases research in Latin America
OBJECTIVE: To identify gaps in postgraduate training and options for building capacity in noncommunicable disease (NCDs) research in Latin America. METHODS: This was a scoping review of postgraduate opportunities in NCDs at top universities in Latin America and of training grants awarded by international funding bodies. Three global university rankings were considered-the QS Ranking, the Shanghai Ranking, and the Times Ranking. Latin American uni…
Estigma relacionado a VIH/Sida asociado con adherencia al tratamiento antirretroviral en pacientes de un hospital de Lima, Perú 2014
There is a high level of stigma related to HIV/AIDS and is associated with the lack of adherence to HAART according to gender. We recommend interventions aimed at reducing stigma related to status disclosure in women and related to public attitudes in men
