Unavailability of appropriate doses and need for tablet splitting of psychotrop...
Starling,Flávio Mascarenhas; Camargos,Einstein Francisco; Ferreira,Felipe; Freitas,Marco Polo Dias; Costa,José Reinaldo Silva; Medeiros-Souza,Patrícia<p><b>BACKGROUND:</b> Tablet splitting appears common in older adults, but its safety, and the factors associated with this practice, remain unclear. <br> <b>OBJECTIVE:</b> To identify which psychotropic drugs are most often split, which doses are intended with this practice, and whether these doses are provided by the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) or commercially available.<br> <b>METHODS:</b> Cross-se...
Prognostic Accuracy of the GRACE Score in Octogenarians and Nonagenarians with ...
Cerqueira Junior,Antonio Mauricio dos Santos; Pereira,Luisa Gondim dos Santos; Souza,Thiago Menezes Barbosa de; Correia,Vitor Calixto de AlmeidaAbstract Background: The GRACE Score was derived and validated from a cohort in which octogenarians and nonagenarians were poorly represented. Objective: To test the accuracy of the GRACE score in predicting in-hospital mortality of very elderly individuals with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Methods: Prospective observational study conducted in the intensive coronary care unit of a tertiary center from Septem...
A Multivariate Model for Prediction of Obstructive Coronary Disease in Patients...
Correia,Luis Cláudio Lemos; Cerqueira,Maurício; Carvalhal,Manuela; Ferreira,Felipe; Garcia,Guilherme; Silva,André Barcelos da; Sá,Nicole deAbstract Background: Currently, there is no validated multivariate model to predict probability of obstructive coronary disease in patients with acute chest pain. Objective: To develop and validate a multivariate model to predict coronary artery disease (CAD) based on variables assessed at admission to the coronary care unit (CCU) due to acute chest pain. Methods: A total of 470 patients were studied, 370 utili...
Zero Calcium Score as a Filter for Further Testing in Patients Admitted to the ...
Correia,Luis Cláudio Lemos; Esteves,Fábio P.; Carvalhal,Manuela; Souza,Thiago Menezes Barbosa de; Sá,Nicole de; Correia,Vitor Calixto de AlmeidaAbstract Background: The accuracy of zero coronary calcium score as a filter in patients with chest pain has been demonstrated at the emergency room and outpatient clinics, populations with low prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD). Objective: To test the gatekeeping role of zero calcium score in patients with chest pain admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU), where the pretest probability of CAD is hig...
Comparison of ACUITY and CRUSADE Scores in Predicting Major Bleeding during Acu...
Correia,Luis C. L.; Ferreira,Felipe; Kalil,Felipe; Silva,André; Pereira,Luisa; Carvalhal,Manuela; Cerqueira,Maurício; Lopes,Fernanda; Sá,Nicole deBackground:The ACUITY and CRUSADE scores are validated models for prediction of major bleeding events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the comparative performances of these scores are not known.Objective:To compare the accuracy of ACUITY and CRUSADE in predicting major bleeding events during ACS.Methods:This study included 519 patients consecutively admitted for unstable angina, non-ST-elevation or ST...

Ferreira,Felipe; Diniz,Julia Silva Valério; Medeiros-Souza,Patrícia; Freitas,Marco Polo Dias; Camargos,Einstein Francisco<p><b>OBJECTIVE:</b> To analyse the occurrence of potential high-risk drug-drug interactions in elderly individuals with dementia.<br> <b>METHODS:</b> The sample was chosen from a geriatric outpatient clinic of the Multidisciplinary Center for the Elderly in the University Hospital of Brasília. This cross-sectional study included patients aged 60 or older with a diagnosis of dementia. The prescriptions w...
Proteína C-Reativa Incrementa o Valor Prognóstico do Escore GRACE em Síndromes ...
Correia,Luis Cláudio Lemos; Vasconcelos,Isis; Garcia,Guilherme; Kalil,Felipe; Ferreira,Felipe; Silva,André; Oliveira,Ruan; Carvalhal,ManuelaFundamento: O valor prognóstico incremental da dosagem plasmática de Proteína C-reativa (PCR) em relação ao Escore GRACE não está estabelecido em pacientes com síndromes coronarianas agudas sem supradesnivelamento do segmento ST (SCA). Objetivo: Testar a hipótese de que a medida de PCR na admissão incrementa o valor prognóstico do escore GRACE em pacientes com SCA. Métodos: Foram estudados 290 indivíduos, inter...
Prognostic Value of TIMI Score versus GRACE Score in ST-segment Elevation Myoca...
Correia,Luis C. L.; Garcia,Guilherme; Kalil,Felipe; Ferreira,Felipe; Carvalhal,Manuela; Oliveira,Ruan; Silva,André; Vasconcelos,Isis; Henri,CaioBackground: The TIMI Score for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was created and validated specifically for this clinical scenario, while the GRACE score is generic to any type of acute coronary syndrome. Objective: Between TIMI and GRACE scores, identify the one of better prognostic performance in patients with STEMI. Methods: We included 152 individuals consecutively admitted for STEMI. The T...
Efetividade de um protocolo assistencial para redução do tempo porta-balão da a...
Correia,Luis Cláudio Lemos; Brito,Mariana; Kalil,Felipe; Sabino,Michael; Garcia,Guilherme; Ferreira,Felipe; Matos,Iracy; Jacobs,Peter; Ronzoni,LilianaFUNDAMENTO: Tempo porta-balão adequado (< 120 minutos) é a condição necessária para que a eficácia da angioplastia primária no infarto se traduza em efetividade. OBJETIVO: Descrever a efetividade de um protocolo de qualidade assistencial para redução do tempo porta-balão. MÉTODOS: Entre maio de 2010 e agosto de 2012, foram analisados todos os indivíduos que realizaram angioplastia primária em nosso hospital. O ...
