Abstract Introduction Patient non-attendance at outpatient sleep clinics is common and costly. Little is known about the factors associated with sleep clinic non-attendance, especially in an Australian context. The goal of our audit was to identify the patient, referral, and appointment factors that may affect attendance at an outpatient sleep clinic. Methods A case-control study was performed in 171 patients (57 cases / non-attenders and 114 controls / attenders) who had a sleep clinic appointment between September 20th, 2020 and March 21st, 2021. Statistical analysis was performed using the two-sided chi-square test with a 5% significance level. Results The overall rate of non-attendance was 10.8%. The rates of non-attendance between new and review cases were similar. Being single (odds ratio [OR]: 2.49; p = 0.010), middle-aged (OR: 4.39; p < 0.001 vs. older-aged), or female (OR: 2.08; p = 0.026) was associated with a higher rate of non-attendance. English was the primary language for all non-attenders. A higher proportion of non-attenders than attenders were born in Australia. For new cases, the source of referral, reason for referral, and triage category did not affect attendance rates. Likewise, the patient’s primary sleep disorder and treatment status did not affect attendance for review cases. Conclusion Factors associated with non-attendance at an outpatient sleep clinic include being single, middle-aged, or female. By identifying patients at higher risk of clinic non-attendance, a more tailored approach can be developed to mitigate this issue.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze whether sarcopenia is associated with sociodemographic factors and chronic noncommunicable diseases in adults aged 80 years and older. METHODS: The sample consisted of 120 adults aged 80 to 95 years (83.4±2.9 years) from the city of Presidente Prudente (São Paulo, Brazil), of which 76 were females (83.4±3.0 years) and 44 were males (83.4±2.6 years). The study sociodemographic and epidemiological factors were: age stratum, gender, marital status, education level, chronic noncommunicable diseases, ethnicity, and nutritional status. Body composition was determined by Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry and sarcopenia was identified by the appendicular lean mass ratio (upper limb lean mass + lower limb lean mass [kg]/height [m]2). The Chi-square test analyzed whether sarcopenia was associated with sociodemographic and epidemiological factors and binary logistic regression expressed the magnitude of the associations. The data were treated by the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (17.0) at a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: The factors associated with sarcopenia were gender, age, nutritional status, and osteopenia/osteoporosis. CONCLUSION: The factors gender, age, nutritional status, and osteopenia/osteoporosis are independently associated with sarcopenia in adults aged 80 years and older.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to estimate the seroprevalence of human brucellosis in livestock professionals and analyze the factors associated with brucellosis focusing on sociodemographic variables and the variables of knowledge and practices related to the characteristics of the activities carried out in livestock. METHODS This is a cross-sectional seroepidemiological study with a population of 131 workers of butchers, slaughter rooms, and slaughterhouse and 192 breeders sampled randomly in Namibe province, Angola. The data were obtained from the collection of blood and use of questionnaires. The laboratory tests used were rose bengal and slow agglutination. The questionnaire allowed us to collect sociodemographic information and, specifically on brucellosis, it incorporated questions about knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of livestock professionals. In addition to the descriptive statistical approach, we used the Chi-square test of independence, Fisher’s test, and logistic regression models, using a significance level of 10%. RESULTS The general weighted prevalence of brucellosis was 15.6% (95%CI 13.61–17.50), being it 5.3% in workers and 16.7% (95%CI 11.39–21.93) in breeders. The statistical significance was observed between human seroprevalence and category (worker and breeder) (p < 0.001) and education level (p = 0.032), start of activity (p = 0079), and service location (p = 0.055). In a multivariate context, the positive factor associated with brucellosis in professionals was the professional category (OR = 3.54; 95%CI 1.57–8.30, related to breeders in relation to workers). CONCLUSIONS Human brucellosis in livestock professionals is prevalent in Namibe province (15.6%), where the professional category was the most important factor. The seroprevalence levels detected are high when compared with those found in similar studies.

Abstract Objectives: to identify the frequency and factors associated with the non-realization of puerperal consultations in women resident of a medium-sized municipality in Brazil. Methods: a prospective cohort study based on data collected in two time points, the first 48h and after the 42nd day post-childbirth. In order to analyze data, proportions were compared using the chi-square test, and the adjusted analysis was performed using Poisson regression, according to a predetermined hierarchical model. Significance level was set at 5%. Results: of the 572 women included in the study, 24.8% did not perform puerperal consul-tations. The factors associated with the non-realization of puerperal consultations were: lower income (1 st tercile PR= 2.01; CI95%= 1.21-3.33 – 2 nd tercile PR= 1.94; CI95%=1.17-3.20) and schooling (≤ 8 years PR= 2.00; CI95%= 1.24-3.24), comorbidities during preg-nancy (PR= 1.45; CI95%= 1.01-2.09), realization of antenatal care in the public service (PR= 1.74; CI95%= 1.18-2.58) and non-use of contraceptive methods (PR= 3.10; CI95%=1.86-5.16). Conclusions: puerperal revision does not seem to be valued in the antenatal care, mainly in the public health system. An important inequality was identified in the provision of this service, since women more prone to recurring pregnancy and with lower income and schooling were the ones that least returned to the puerperal consultation.

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors associated with self-medication in pre- and postoperative conditions in tooth extraction. Method: interviews were conducted with 40 patients from a university dental clinic between September and October 2018, addressing socio-demographic variables, medication use and comorbidities. Chi-square test with significance level of p<0.05 was applied. Results: the prevalence of preoperative self-medication was 52.5% and 15% after surgery, of which 5% self-medicated before and after the procedure (p<0.001). It was found that 68.4% of the respondents who self-medicated preoperatively were women, and postoperatively, 75% were men (p<0.05). The most taken drugs before surgery were analgesic (p<0.05) and after were anti-inflammatory (p>0.05). Conclusion: tooth extraction was a protective factor for self-medication. This behavior varied between sexes, requiring specific prescription protocols for men and women in dental extraction.
