Characterization of 843 children with Zika-related microcephaly in the first three years of life
One of the main gaps in characterizing the congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) up to now is the small number of participants in individual studies. Pooling the data together overcomes the sample size-related limitations of individual studies and provides an opportunity for investigating heterogeneity between studies and, as appropriate, to better characterize the CZS . This study aims to describe adverse anthropometric, clinical, and neuroimaging outc…
Covid-19 among health care workers in Brazil
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and disparities of COVID-19 among health care workers in Brazil. METHODS: A survey was conducted among health care workers in five Brazilian cities. Disparities in the prevalence of COVID-19 were analyzed by professional category and region (North/Northeast versus South/Southeast). RESULTS: The sample was composed of 2,499 health care workers: 601 (24.1%) nursing technicians, 1,095 (43.8%) registered nurses,…
Severity Profile of Covid-19 in Hospitalized Pediatric Patients
This result underscores the need to improve healthcare at every level for children and for the management of asthma and nutrition when considering children with this clinical profile who are diagnosed with COVID-19
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy and factors associated with non-adherence
This cohort study evaluated non-adherence to antiretrovirals at referral services in Pernambuco, Brazil, 2016/2017, through self-report. A generalized mixed-effects model for binary outcomewas used. We assessed 542 participants with an adherence rate of 85.50%. A greater chance of non-adherence was associated with:a low/moderate level of nicotine dependence (OR = 2.79, p = 0.00, IC = 1.44-5.41); ≥7 tablets/day (OR = 6.14, p = 0.00, IC = 3.42-11.0…
Profile of judicialization in access to antineoplastic drugs and their costs
The present study is of relevance to the field of public health and examines how a profile of such healthcare litigation can be used as a tool for managing and improving decision-making in times of economic austerity
HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in a Brazilian Clinical Setting
Neighbourhood-level income and Zika virus infection during pregnancy in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil
Zika virus (ZIKV) infections during pregnancy can lead to adverse neurodevelopmental and clinical outcomes in congenitally infected offspring. As the city of Recife in Pernambuco State, Brazil—the epicentre of the Brazilian microcephaly epidemic—has considerable disparities in living conditions, this study used an ecological approach to investigate the association between income at the neighbourhood level and the risk of ZIKV infections in pregna…
The frequency and clinical presentation of Zika virus coinfections
Quality of life may be a more valuable prognostic factor than depression in older hemodialysis patients
Cem dias de Covid-19 em Pernambuco, Brasil
A pandemia de COVID-19 iniciou sua linha do tempo em 31 de dezembro de 2019 na China e o SARS-CoV-2 identificado como agente etiológico. O objetivo deste manuscrito é descrever a dinâmica espacial e temporal da epidemia de COVID-19 nos primeiros cem dias, no Estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Apresentamos a evolução de casos e óbitos segundo semana epidemiológica. Realizamos a análise da série do acumulado diário de casos da COVID-19 confirmados, com …
ZikaPLAN
Zika Preparedness Latin American Network (ZikaPLAN) is a research consortium funded by the European Commission to address the research gaps in combating Zika and to establish a sustainable network with research capacity building in the Americas. Here we present a report on ZikaPLAN`s mid-term achievements since its initiation in October 2016 to June 2019, illustrating the research objectives of the 15 work packages ranging from virology, diagnost…
Conhecimento, atitudes e práticas de agentes comunitários de saúde sobre tuberculose pulmonar em uma capital do Nordeste do Brasil
Esse artigo analisa o conhecimento, atitudes e práticas sobre tuberculose de agentes comunitários de saúde (ACS) no Recife, município com altas taxas de incidência e de abandono do tratamento no Brasil. O estudo transversal foi conduzido em uma amostra representativa dos ACS utilizando questionário padronizado. Descreveram-se as frequências das variáveis referentes ao conhecimento, atitudes e práticas e analisou-se a associação do conhecimento sa…
An evaluation of factors associated with taking and responding positive to the tuberculin skin test in individuals with HIV/Aids
Considering that the TST is recommended by the Brazilian health authorities, coverage for taking the test was very low. The most serious implication of this is that LTBI treatment was not carried out for the unidentified TST-positive patients, who may consequently go on to develop TB and eventually die
Methodology of a nationwide cross-sectional survey of prevalence and epidemiological patterns of hepatitis A, B and C infection in Brazil
A population-based survey to provide information on the prevalence of hepatitis viral infection and the pattern of risk factors was carried out in the urban population of all Brazilian state capitals and the Federal District, between 2005 and 2009. This paper describes the design and methodology of the study which involved a population aged 5 to 19 for hepatitis A and 10 to 69 for hepatitis B and C. Interviews and blood samples were obtained thro…
Risk factors for treatment delay in pulmonary tuberculosis in Recife, Brazil
In this urban area, delays seem to be related to unemployment and general attitudes towards health. Although they reflect the way health services are organized, delays are not associated with access to care
