Nutritional information on the labels of processed and ultra-processed foods and beverages marketed in a supermarket chain in Lima in 2022
CONCLUSIONS.: More than a quarter of the beverages and packaged foods in the Peruvian market did not provide nutritional information of any kind, and of those that did, only one did so in different formats and units. In addition, we found that a proportion of beverages and foods for each type of octagon did not declare information of the nutrient that is mentioned in the octagon.PMID:38232260 | DOI:10.17843/rpmesp.2023.402.12714 (Source: Revista Peruana de Medicina de Experimental y Salud Publica)

Characteristics of pediatric patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the third wave (omicron variant) at a referral hospital in Peru
Rev Peru Med Exp Salud Publica. 2023 Apr-Jun;40(2):200-206. doi: 10.17843/rpmesp.2023.402.12409.ABSTRACTMotivation for the study. There are few reports on the clinical experience of the population infected with the omicron variant of COVID-19 in Latin America, particularly in pediatric population. Main findings. There was a rapid increase in the number of hospitalizations compared to previous waves, mainly due to respiratory conditions; most patients progressed favorably. Antibiotics and corticosteroids were the most used drugs. Implications. Studying the characteristics of children hospitalized during the third wave of CO...

Characteristics of hemolytic uremic syndrome in patients from a pediatric hospital in Peru, 2010-2020
Rev Peru Med Exp Salud Publica. 2023 Apr-Jun;40(2):207-212. doi: 10.17843/rpmesp.2023.402.12708.ABSTRACTMotivation for the study. There are few studies in Peru on hemolytic uremic syndrome. Main findings. Between the years 2010 to 2020, the age at diagnosis has not changed; however, more patients presented oliguria and required more renal replacement therapy (peritoneal dialysis) compared to previous years. Implications. This syndrome is an important cause of renal damage in children; therefore, its surveillance and notification are necessary. In addition, measures of prevention and early recognition of the disease must be...

Samples in randomized clinical trials with interim analysis
This article introduces randomized clinical trials and basic concepts of statistical inference. We present methods for calculating the sample size by outcome type and the hypothesis to be tested, together with the code in the R programming language. We describe four methods for adjusting the original sample size for interim analyses. We sought to introduce these topics in a simple and concrete way, considering the mathematical expressions that support the results and their implementation in available statistical programs; therefore, bringing health students closer to statistics and the use of statistical programs, which ar...
