Association between Chagas disease and the occurrence of stroke
This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the association between Chagas disease and stroke, and to estimate the magnitude of this association through meta-analyses. A systematic review was conducted following the steps recommended by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. The MEDLINE via PubMed, Virtual Health Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched, and all studies…
Mortality from sickle cell disease in Brazil
Despite early diagnosis through neonatal screening and improved access to vaccines, antibiotics, and disease-modifying therapies, many individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) die before age 60. This study evaluated causes and independent predictors of mortality in a Brazilian SCD population using data from the multicenter REDS-III cohort [2013–2018], which included six centers. Eligible patients were randomly enrolled during routine visits. Cl…
Syphilis reactivity among blood donors in Brazil
The prevalence of syphilis was < 3% among FTD and < 1% among RD. We found wide variability according to donor characteristics, with gender, age, race, and schooling significantly associated with prevalent and incident RPR-positive syphilis in multivariable models. Syphilis occurrence among blood donors can be used to assess disease patterns in low-risk populations
Data-driven, cross-disciplinary collaboration
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted global research efforts to reduce infection impact, highlighting the potential of cross-disciplinary collaboration to enhance research quality and efficiency. Methods: At the FMUSP-HC academic health system, we implemented innovative flow management routines for collecting, organizing and analyzing demographic data, COVID-related data and biological materials from over 4,500 patients with confirmed…
Contextual influence on poor self-rated health in patients with Chagas disease
Chagas disease (CD) is recognized by the World Health Organization as one of the thirteen most neglected tropical diseases in the world. Self-perceived health is considered a better predictor of mortality than objective measures of health status, and the context in which one lives influences this predictor. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and individual and contextual factors associated with poor self-rated health among CD patients fr…
Higher risk of death from Covid-19 in low-income and non-White populations of São Paulo, Brazil
Introduction Little evidence exists on the differential health effects of COVID-19 on disadvantaged population groups. Here we characterise the differential risk of hospitalisation and death in São Paulo state, Brazil, and show how vulnerability to COVID-19 is shaped by socioeconomic inequalities. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using hospitalised severe acute respiratory infections notified from March to August 2020 in the Sistema d…
Surveillance of hemorrhagic fever and/or neuroinvasive disease
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of post mortem laboratory analysis in identifying the causes of hemorrhagic fever and/or neuroinvasive disease in deaths by arbovirus infection. METHODS Retrospective cross-sectional study based on the differential analysis and final outcome obtained in patients whose samples underwent laboratory testing for arboviruses at the Pathology Center of the Adolfo Lutz Institute, in São Paulo, Brazil. RESULTS Of the…
Characterization of HIV risks in a Brazilian sickle cell disease population
Besides the risk of transfusion-transmitted HIV, which is now exceedingly rare, SCD and non-SCD participants demonstrated similar HIV risk behaviors. Causes other than risk behaviors such as factors inherent to SCD pathophysiology may explain the reported low prevalence of HIV in SCD
Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the Covid-19 epidemic in Brazil
Interfaces à transmissão e spillover do coronavírus entre florestas e cidades
O atual formato de desenvolvimento humano gera severos impactos ambientais, os quais repercutem negativamente na saúde; dentre eles, a intensificação da transmissão de doenças infecciosas, epidemias e pandemias, como a Covid-19. A forma como lidamos com a biodiversidade e os ecossistemas, em conjunto com as mudanças climáticas, viabiliza interfaces e corredores por onde ocorrem diversificação, spillover e circulação de vírus. Por esses meios, o S…
Hepatitis C among blood donors
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the HCV cascade of care and to identify the factors associated with loss or absence to follow-up of patients identified as infected with hepatitis C through blood donation. METHODS: Blood donors from 1994 to 2012, identified with positive anti- HCV by enzyme immunoassay and immunoblot tests were invited to participate in the study, through letters or phone calls. Patients who agreed to participate were interviewed and th…
Blood Donor Test-Seeking Motivation and Prior HIV Testing Experiences in São Paulo, Brazil
Accuracy of a probabilistic record-linkage methodology used to track blood donors in the Mortality Information System database
The probabilistic record linkage (PRL) is based on a likelihood score that measures the degree of similarity of several matching variables. Screening test results for different diseases are available for the blood donor population. In this paper, we describe the accuracy of a PRL process used to track blood donors from the Fundação Pró-Sangue (FPS) in the Mortality Information System (SIM), in order that future studies might determine the blood d…
Knowledge, Attitudes and Motivations Among Blood Donors in São Paulo, Brazil
HTLV in the Americas
The first description of the human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was made in 1980, followed closely by the discovery of HTLV-2, in 1982. Since then, the main characteristics of these viruses, commonly referred to as HTLV-1/2, have been thoroughly studied. Central and South America and the Caribbean are areas of high prevalence of HTLV-1 and HTVL-2 and have clusters of infected people. The major modes of transmission have been through sexua…
Evaluation of the concomitant use of two different EIA tests for HIV screening in blood banks
Our data do not support the use of two different, concomitant EIA screening tests for HIV. The great majority of HIV-positive donors have already seroconverted and will be detected using only a single EIA screening test. Only persons who are going through the process of seroconversion may be missed by using a single EIA test and detected using two EIAs for screening. To screen out these individuals and decrease the residual risk of HIV transmissi…
Trends in the profile of blood donors at a large blood center in the city of São Paulo, Brazil
Our data provide evidence that the São Paulo population has responded well to the marketing strategies that have been introduced in our institution. We believe that similar promotional efforts elsewhere in Brazil would produce comparable, positive results
Descarte de bolsas de sangue e prevalência de doenças infecciosas em doadores de sangue da Fundação Pró-Sangue/Hemocentro de São Paulo
The decrease in the discarding of blood units and in infectious diseases among donors at the Blood Center of São Paulo reflects the increase in the Center's percentage of repeat donors
Programas de control externo de la calidad en serología desarrollados en América Latina con el apoyo de la OPS entre 1997 y 2000
These results show the need for PAHO to continue using these external quality control programs as well as other activities in order to strengthen the procedures for serological screening blood banks in Latin America, until there is more uniformity in the procedures that the countries use
