- ItemAsociación temporal entre la circulación de virus respiratorios y hospitalizaciones por enfermedad de Kawasaki(Sociedad Chilena de Infectologia, 2021) Aguirre, Daniela; Cerda, Jaime; Perret, Cecilia; Borzutzky Schachter, Arturo; Hoyos-Bachiloglu© 2021, Sociedad Chilena de Infectologia. All rights reserved.Background: The etiology of Kawasaki disease (KD) is unknown. It is believed that viral infections could trigger the disease in susceptible patients. Aim: To study the temporal association between the circulation of respiratory viruses and KD hospitalizations in the Metropolitan Region (MR), Chile, between 2010-2017. Methods: Ecologic study consisting of a review of KD cases in children under 18 years of age based on hospital discharges. The circulation of respiratory viruses was analyzed using the report of the metropolitan surveillance network. Moving averages for KD (MAKD) and respiratory viruses (MARV) were used. Results: 14,902 cases of respiratory virus infections were recorded between 2010-2017. A direct correlation was found between MARV-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) of one month and year and MAKD of the subsequent month (correlation coefficient (ρ) = +0.441; p < 0.001). A similar association was found for MARV-influenza A (FLU A) (ρ = + 0.362; p < 0.001). MARV-influenza B (FLU B) and MARV-metapneumovirus (MPV) had direct correlations with MAKD (ρ = +0.443; p < 0.001 and ρ = +0.412; p < 0.001, respectively), being FLU B contemporary in month and year with KD, and MPV presenting a one-month lag. Conclusion: There is a direct temporal correlation between RSV, FLU A, FLU B and MPV circulation and KD in children from RM, Chile.

- ItemCentro de validación de vacunas COVID-19 administradas en el extranjero y su impacto en Chile(2022) Alcaide Martínez, Nikolle Mackarena; Cerda, Jaime; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de MedicinaA causa de la pandemia por el virus del SARS-CoV-2, Chile decide tomar distintas estrategias sanitarias para afrontar la propagación y mitigación del virus. Una de ellas fue restringir el ingreso al país. Sin embargo, debido al aumento de las solicitudes para ingresar al territorio nacional se crea el Plan de Fronteras Protegidas, el que busca realizar la validación de vacunas COVID-19 administradas en el extranjero. Este proceso permite el ingreso de chilenos o extranjeros al territorio nacional, quienes a través del proceso de validación de vacunas realizado por el Centro de Registros de Vacunas (CRV), se obtenga el pase de movilidad gozando de los beneficios y restricciones indicadas por la autoridad sanitaria, las que van de acuerdo con la contingencia sanitaria. Esta investigación busca describir las motivaciones para crear el CRV en Chile, sus resultados y analizar sus principales fortalezas, oportunidades, debilidades y amenazas existentes. Se utilizará un enfoque mixto, en donde las muestras serán todas aquellas solicitudes dentro de los rangos de fecha establecidos. Se espera que la apertura de este centro arroje resultados que reflejen el impacto en Chile en términos cuánticos y así analizar sus características sus propias. Cabe destacar que Chile es el único país del mundo que cuenta con un sistema de validación de vacunas, por lo tanto, lo posiciona dentro de los países líderes frente a la resolución y respuesta frente a la pandemia por COVID-19.
- ItemChildren with special health care needs: prevalence in a pediatric hospital and associated risks(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2012) Carlos Flores, Juan; Carrillo, Daniela; Karzulovic, Lorena; Cerda, Jaime; Araya, Gabriela; Soledad Matus, Maria; Llevenes, Guillermo; Menchaca, Gonzalo; Vargas, Nelson A.Background: "Children with special health care needs" (CSHCN) is a novel definition for pediatric patients with chronic diseases, adopted by the Chilean Pediatric Society in 2008. As life expectancy in Chile increases, prevalence of CSHCN is progressively growing, leading to higher health costs. Aim: To describe the epidemiological profile and clinical characteristics of hospitalized CSHCN, and compare the risk assessment of adverse events during hospitalization using two definitions for CSHCN. Patients and Methods: A cohort of hospitalized CSHCN in a Pediatric Center at Santiago, Chile, was followed from September to December 2009. Clinical and demographic data were registered in a database, including admission to intensive care unit (ICU), nosocomial infections and prolonged hospitalization (> 7 days). Incidence ratios for these events were compared between CSHCN and non-CSHCN, and between children attended by three or more health care professionals (CSHCN-3) and non-CSHCN. Results: Nine hundred twenty patients were included (54% male), with a median age 14 months (0-221) and median days of hospitalization 4 days (1-229). Prevalence of CSHCN was 60.8% of hospitalized children. When using CSHCN definition and comparing with non-CSHCN, no excess of risk was documented. On the other hand, prevalence of CSHCN-3 was 19.9%. Compared to non-CSHCN, these patients had a higher risk of ICU admission (relative risk (RR) 1.58; 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.22-2.05; p < 0.01), nosocomial infections (RR 2.28; 95% CI = 1.54-3.39; p < 0.001) and prolonged hospitalization (RR 1.99; 95% CI = 1.52-2.60; p < 0.001). Conclusions: One in five hospitalized children met CSHCN-3 definition. These patients had an increased risk of adverse events during their hospitalization compared to non-CSHCN.

- ItemChile's National Advisory Committee on Immunization (CAVEI) : Evidence-based recommendations for public policy decision-making on vaccines and immunization(2019) Dabanch, Jeannette; González, Cecilia; Cerda, Jaime; Acevedo, Johanna; Calvo, Mario; Díaz, Eduardo; Endeiza, María; Inostroza, Jaime; Rodríguez, Jaime; Saldaña, Adiela; Santillana, Solange; El Omeiri, Nathalie; Bastías, Magdalena
- ItemClinic and epidemiologic description of Clostridium difficile infection in a pediatric population(SOC CHILENA INFECTOLOGIA, 2015) Maccioni, Andrea; Cerda, Jaime; Terrazas, Claudia; Abarca, KatiaBackground: Clostridium difficile (CD)-associated disease (CDAD) and the role of the hypervirulent strain NAP1 have not been well characterized in Pediatrics. Aims: To describe clinical features of CDAD, and to estimate NAP1 frequency and association with disease severity in Pediatrics. Methods: Descriptive, transversal surveillance of diarrheal episodes in Chilean children, hospitalized between February 2012 and December 2013, positive for CD by molecular diagnosis. Results: A total of 66 episodes of diarrhea with identification of CD occurred thougout the study period in children between 1 month and 19 years of age of which 39% were younger than one year old. CD acquisition was predominantly nosocomial and the most common risk factors were: presence of comorbidities (98.6%), use of antibiotics (93.9%), proton pump inhibitors (84.8%), invasive mechanic ventilation (54.5%), feeding tube (48.5%) and immunosuppression (40.9%). Clinical course was mostly mild, but 12 cases presented an unfavorable course, of which 3/26 occurred in children less than one year. Only one case was positive for NAP1 and had a mild course. Conclusion: Diarrhea with identification of CD was present throughout all pediatric ages, including children less than one year old. Analytical and longitudinal studies are required to better characterize the pathogenic role of CD in this age group. CDAD occurred mostly in patients with risk factors, and the clinical course was predominantly mild.

- ItemConsistency between POLARS and LARS scores regarding the incidence of low anterior resection syndrome in a Chilean population undergoing rectal surgery secondary to cancer in a high-volume hospital(2023) Gaete Dañobeitia, María Inés; Moreno, D. ; Iglesias, A. ; Navarro Subiabre, Francisco Fabián; Dreyse, J. ; Cerda, Jaime; Durán Espinoza, Valentina; Molina Pezoa, María Elena; Miguieles Cocco, Rodrigo Alfonso; Urrejola Schmied, Gonzalo Ignacio; Larach Kattan, José Tomás; Bellolio R., FelipeAim: The aim of this work was to evaluate the concordance between the low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) and preoperative LARS (POLARS) scores regarding the incidence of LARS in a Chilean population undergoing rectal surgery for cancer in a high-volume hospital. Method: The LARS score questionnaire, following telephone requests, was used to determine the presence and severity of LARS. The POLARS score was calculated based on variables described previously. Correlations and qualitative and quantitative concordance were evaluated using Spearman's correlation coefficient, the kappa coefficient and the Bland–Altman plot with Lin's concordance correlation coefficient. Results: A total of 120 patients met the inclusion criteria: 37.5% underwent neoadjuvant radiotherapy, 61% underwent total mesorectal excision (TME) and 51.6% underwent ostomy. A total of 49% of patients did not present with LARS, whereas 28% had major LARS. The correlation between scales was poor, with a fair qualitative concordance to determine the presence/absence of LARS and a slight qualitative concordance to determine the degree of the intensity. The quantitative concordance was poor. Conclusion: In the Chilean population, concordance between the LARS and POLARS scores was qualitatively fair to determine the presence/absence of the disease and qualitatively slight to determine the degree of intensity. We do not suggest using the POLARS score in the perioperative period in the Chilean population deliberately, as the score may help to determine the presence/absence of LARS but cannot determine its degree of intensity. Additional evaluations are required to determine the factors contributing to the degree of agreement between the scales.
