Propuesta de estrategia preventiva para el asma bronquial: estudio de gemelos / A proposal of a preventive strategy for bronchial asthmaPropuesta de estrategia preventiva para el asma bronquial: estudio de gemelos / A proposal of a preventive strategy for bronchial asthmaEl Asma Bronquial es una enfermedad crónica con herencia multifactorial, que constituye un problema de salud en todo el mundo, con una tendencia a incrementar su morbimortalidad. Con el objetivo de proponer una estrategia de prevención para esta enfermedad se realizó una investigación epidemiológica, analítica, y transversal (sobre gemelos y Asma Bronquial) incluido como parte del programa de desarrollo de la Genética Médica en Cuba en el municipio de Pinar del Río, provincia Pinar del Río (Cuba). Esta permitió hacer una caracterización clínica-epidemiológica y genealógica de la enfermedad en gemelos con al menos, un miembro afecto e identificar que los factores genéticos contribuyen en un 72%, al origen del Asma Bronquial en este medio, determinado por los estudios de concordancia y cálculo de su heredabilidad, teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de los gemelos comparten el mismo ambiente. En el contexto de la investigación fue elaborada y propuesta una Estrategia de Salud dirigido a la prevención y mejora de la calidad de vida de las personas que padecen Asma Bronquial, contando para ello con los recursos que aporta el Sistema de Salud en Cuba y el apoyo de la sociedad organizada. Palabras clave: ASMA BRONQUIAL/prevención, ENFERMEDADES RESPIRATORIAS, GEMELOS, ESTRATEGIA. ABSTRACT Bronchial Asthma is a chronic disease with multifactorial inheritance that constitutes a health problem all over the world, having an increasing morbidity and mortality rate. Aimed at suggesting a strategy for the prevention of this disease an epidemiological, analytical and cross-sectional research (about bronchial asthma and twins) was conducted and included as a part of the program for the development of Medical Genetics in Cuba, Pinar del Rio municipality (Cuba). This research allowed making a clinical-epidemiological and genealogical characterization of this disease, with at least one member affected as well as to identify that genetic factors contribute with 72% of the disease origin in this environment, determining it by means of the studies of concordance and inheritance; taking into consideration that the majority of the twins share the same environment. During the research a Health Strategy was created aimed at preventing and improving the quality of life of people who suffer from Bronchial Asthma, supported on the resources of the Cuban Health System and the organization of the society. Key words: ASTHMA, prevention, RESPIRATORY TRACT DESEASES, TWINS, STRATEGY.

Aspectos clínico-epidemiológicos de la inducción del parto en el embarazo postérmino / Clinical and epidemiological features of inducing labor in post-term pregnancyAspectos clínico-epidemiológicos de la inducción del parto en el embarazo postérmino / Clinical and epidemiological features of inducing labor in post-term pregnancyEl embarazo postérmino es una entidad obstétrica muy discutida en la literatura médica debido a los diferentes criterios empleados con relación al diagnóstico, control prenatal, conducta a tomar y manejo intraparto. Con el objetivo de determinar el comportamiento de la inducción del parto en el embarazo postérmino, se realizó un estudio de casos y controles en el Hospital General Docente "Abel Santamaría" de Pinar del Río, en el trienio 2005-2007. El universo estuvo constituido por todos los nacimientos de esa institución hospitalaria, el grupo estudio por las embarazadas con 42 semanas de gestación con una labor de parto inducida (n=239) y un grupo control por las primeras 10 gestantes de cada mes con una labor de parto espontánea y edad gestacional de 37-41 semanas, con un feto vivo y con presentación de vértice (n=360). Se estudió: edad materna, paridad anterior, modo de terminación del parto, puntaje de Apgar del recién nacido, índice de Bishop, morbilidad materna y neonatal. Se utilizó frecuencia absoluta, porcentaje, Ji Cuadrado y Odds ratio al 95 % de certeza. Resultaron factores de riesgo de embarazo postérmino con labor inducida: la adolescencia (OR=5), la multiparidad (OR=7.5) y el índice de Bishop <7 puntos (OR=6.6); la forma de terminación del parto predominante en el embarazo postérmino fue la cesárea, presentando los recién nacidos una mayor incidencia de Apgar bajo (p<0.001). El embarazo postérmino con labor de parto inducida estuvo relacionado estadísticamente con la morbilidad neonatal en general (p<0.001) y con la morbilidad materna (p<0.001). Palabras clave: embarazo prongado, trabajo de parto inducido, cesarea/métodos, morbilidad,contracción,uterina,hemorragia. ABSTRACT Post-term pregnancy is a controversial obstetric entity in medical literature due to the different criteria used regarding to its diagnosis, prenatal control, treatment to be followed and intra-labor management. Aimed at determining the behavior of the induction of labor in post-term pregnancy a case and control study was conducted at "Abel Santamaria Cuadrado" University Hospital, Pinar del Rio, during a three-year period (2005-2007). The universe was comprised of all the births occurring in the institution, women surpassing 42 weeks of pregnancy and inducing labor (n=239) and a control group for the first 10 pregnant women of each month with spontaneous labor and gestational age of 37-41 weeks, live fetus and with apex presentation (n=360). Maternal age, previous parity, ending of labor, Apgar score of the newborn, Bishop rate, maternal and neonatal mortality were the variables studied. Absolute frequency, percentage method, chi square test and Odss ratio to 95% of certainty were used. Post-term pregnancy with inducing labor had as risk factors: adolescence (OR=5), multiparity (OR=7.5) and the Bishop rate <7 points (OR =6.6); prevailing cesarean section in post-term pregnancy, newborns presented a high incidence of low Apgar scores (p<0.001) and with a maternal morbidity (p<0.001). Key words: prolonged pregnancy, induced labor, cesarean section/methods, morbidity, uterine contraction, hemorrhage.
