Objetivo: Identificar lo eventos adversos que ocurren en unidades de hemodiálisis de la red pública del Distrito Federal. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio descriptivo con enfoque cuantitativo, realizado en Brasilia/DF. Los datos se recopilaron en tres hospitales públicos de la Secretaría de Salud del DF en el año 2017. Esas unidades, en conjunto, realizaron en el año 2017, 1770 sesiones de hemodiálisis en pacientes con Insuficiencia Renal Crónica por mes. Se analizaron 152 historiales de pacientes para el levantamiento de los registros. Los datos fueron organizados en hoja de Excel, y se utilizó la estadística descriptiva para el análisis. Resultados: Los acontecimientos adversos con mayor número de registros están relacionados con el acceso vascular para hemodiálisis, son: sangramiento, secreción en catéter doble lumen, flujo sanguíneo inadecuado e infección o señales de infección en el acceso vascular. Respecto al responsable del registro, 76,9%de los registros fueron realizados por los técnicos en enfermería, 16,6% por los enfermeros y 6,5% por otros profesionales del equipo de salud. Conclusión: La hemodiálisis es un sector con un gran potencial de riesgo para la ocurrencia de eventos adversos, esto sucede por diversos motivos tales como, tratarse de un procedimiento complejo, con uso de alta tecnología, la característica de cronicidad de la enfermedad renal crónica, el uso alto de medicamentos. Deben adoptarse estrategias para mejorar el funcionamiento de estos accesos vasculares, pues de ellos depende la calidad de la diálisis y consecuentemente la calidad de vida del paciente con enfermedad renal crónica en tratamiento dialítico. Objective: Identify the adverse events occurring in hemodialysis units of the Federal District public network.Methods: This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, carried out in Brasília / DF. Data were collected in three public hospitals of the Health's Secretary of the Federal District in the year 2017. These units, together, performed in the year 2017, 1770 hemodialysis sessions in patients with CKD per month. A total of 152 patient charts were analyzed to record adverse events. The data were organized in an Excel spreadsheet, and descriptive statistics were used for the analysis. Results: Adverse events with the highest number of records are related to vascular access to hemodialysis, they are: bleeding, double-catheter secretion lumen, inadequate blood flow, and infection or signs of vascular access infection. As for the person responsible for the registration, 76.9% of the records were made by nursing technicians, 16.6% by nurses and 6.5% by other health team professionals.Conclusion: It is concluded in this study that hemodialysis is a hospital sector with a great risk potential for the occurrence of adverse events, this occurs for several reasons such as: it is a complex procedure, using high technology, chronicity characteristic of chronic renal disease, the high use of medications. Strategies need to be taken in order to optimize the functioning of these vascular accesses, because the quality of dialysis depends on them, consequently the quality of life of the patient with chronic renal disease in dialysis treatment.   Objetivo: Identificar os eventos adversos que ocorrem em unidades de hemodiálise da rede pública do Distrito Federal.Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em Brasília/DF.

Background/Aim. Chronic renal disease is one of the growing problems all over the world. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important indicator for those with a chronic disease, such as chronic renal disease, because it may serve as predictor of mortality and hospitalization. The aim of this study was to assess HRQoL in patients on chronic maintenance hemodialysis (HD), and compare it with patients suffering from hypertension (HTA), and normal controls of the same age and gender (C). Methods. The study enrolled 224 males and females older than 18 years: 67 in the HD group, 78 in the HTA group, and 79 in the C group. HRQoL was assessed in all groups using 15-D questionnaire. Results. Significantly higher level of education was recorded in the HD group compared to other two groups. In the HD group there were significantly less employed persons (9%) and significantly more retired (67.2%). All groups were similar regarding an average monthly income and marital status. We found significantly lower total HRQoL score in patients in the HD group, compared to normal controls (0.78 ? 0.16 vs. 0.89 ? 0.10 in the HTA and 0.95 ? 0.06 in the C group) as well as specific scores in almost all investigated domains, except in speech, eating and mental functions. Patients in the HD and HTA groups had similar self-reported quality of life in additional 3 domains: hearing, elimination and distress, while the HD group reported significantly lower scores in remaining 9 domains: mobility, vision, breathing, sleeping, usual activities, discomfort and symptoms, depression, vitality and sexual activity. Patients in the HTA group had significantly lower scores than normal controls in 8 domains (hearing, sleeping, elimination, usual activities, discomfort and symptoms, depression, distress and vitality) as well as in total quality of life, while in remaining 4 domains there was no significant difference (mobility, vision, breathing, sexual activity). Conclusion. Both investigated chronic diseases lead to impairment of HRQoL, which is substantially stronger in hemodialysis than in hypertension. Considering the relationship between depression and HRQoL measures, it may be useful to treat depression of HD patients in order to improve their quality of life.

In patients on maintenance hemodialysis several factors reduce the body stored carnitine which could lead to dyslipidemia, anemia, and general health in these patients. We evaluated the effect of oral L-carnitine supplementation on lipid profiles, anemia, and quality of life (QOL) in hemodialysis patients. In a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis received either L-carnitine 1 g/d (n=24) or placebo (27 patients) for 16 weeks. At the end of the study, there was a significant decrease in triglyceride (-31.1±38.7 mg/dL,P=0.001) and a significant increase in HDL (3.7±2.8 mg/dL,P<0.001) levels in the carnitine group. Decrease in total cholesterol (−6.6±16.0 mg/dL,P=0.075) and increase in hemoglobin (0.7±1.7 g/dL,P=0.081) concentrations in the carnitine group were not significant. There was no statistically significant changes in LDL in any group (P>0.05). Erythropoietin dose was significantly decreased in both the carnitine (-4750±5772 mg,P=0.001) and the placebo group (-2000±4296 mg,P<0.05). No improvement was observed in QOL scores of two groups. In ESRD patients under maintenance hemodialysis, oral L-carnitine supplementation may reduce triglyceride and cholesterol and increase HDL and hemoglobin and subsequently reduce needed erythropoietin dose without effect on QOL.

El presente estudio argumenta que la modernización de la Carretera Federal No. 5 Mexicali-San Felipe ha impactado en el bienestar social de diez localidades aledañas. A pesar de que la obra no ha sido culminada en toda la extensión del tramo carretero, se estiman los Índices de Marginación Urbana (IMU) en su situación ex-ante (2000) y ex -post (2010). Se observa que las dos localidades conectadas directamente con el tramo carretero han disminuido su situación de marginación en forma considerable, al igual que otras cinco  interconectadas a través de la red secundaria. Las tres restantes no se han beneficiado debido a su poca accesibilidad dentro de la red secundaria. Se concluye que la accesibilidad es el factor clave que permite mejorar sus condiciones socioeconómicas a través del tiempo. AbstractThis study argues that the modernization of the Federal Highway No. 5 Mexicali-San Felipe has impacted over social benefits of ten localities. Despite that the works have not been concluded in all the extension of the highway, the Urban Marginal Index are estimated at their ex-before (2000) and ex-post (2010). It is observed that the two localities that connect directly with the road have decreased their marginalized situationconsiderably, as well as the other five localities interconnected through the secondary network. The remaining three has not been benefited because of its poor accessibility within the secondary network. It can be concluded that the accessibility is the key factor that improves their socioeconomic conditions over time.
