Incidence of TPOAb over a 4-year follow-up period: results from the Brazilian L...
Benseñor,Isabela M.; Janovsky,Carolina Castro Porto Silva; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Santos,Itamar de Souza; Diniz,Maria de Fátima Haueisen SanderABSTRACT Objective: Although some previous data have suggested a high iodine intake in Brazil, the prevalence of antithyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) in the country is compatible with rates from countries with adequate iodine intake. This observation emphasizes the importance of knowing the incidence of TPOAb in Brazil. Materials and methods: This prospective analysis included euthyroid participants with nega...
Frequência e Motivos para a não Administração e Suspensão de Medicamentos duran...
Santos,Rafael C. O.; Bensenor,Isabela M.; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Lotufo,Paulo A.; Santos,Itamar S.Resumo Fundamentos: Poucos estudos discutiram causas para o subtratamento medicamentoso na SCA. Objetivos: Avaliar a não-administração e suspensão de medicamentos durante o tratamento intra-hospitalar da SCA na Estratégia de Registro de Síndrome Coronariana Aguda (estudo ERICO). Métodos: Analisamos prontuários de 563 participantes ERICO para avaliar a frequência e motivos da não administração e/ou suspensão de ...
Elevated High-Sensitivity Troponin I in the Stabilized Phase after an Acute Cor...
Castro,Leandro Teixeira de; Santos,Itamar de Souza; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Pereira,Alexandre da Costa; Staniak,Henrique Lane; Bittencourt,Marcio SommerAbstract Background: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) has played an important role in the risk stratification of patients during the in-hospital phase of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but few studies have determined its role as a long-term prognostic marker in the outpatient setting. Objective: To investigate the association between levels of hs-cTnI measured in the subacute phase after an ACS eve...
Prevalence of antithyroperoxidase antibodies in a multiethnic Brazilian populat...
Janovsky,Carolina Castro Porto Silva; Bittencourt,Marcio Sommer; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Santos,Itamar S.; Almeida-Pititto,Bianca; Lotufo,Paulo A.ABSTRACT Objective In this study, we aimed to describe the prevalence and distribution of positive antithyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) according to sex, age strata, and presence of thyroid dysfunction using baseline data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Materials and methods Thyroid hormone tests were obtained from each study participant at baseline. Levels of thyroid-stim...
Impact of High Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Survival after Acute Coronar...
Maia,Flavia C; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Drager,Luciano F.; Staniak,Henrique L.; Santos,Itamar de Souza; Lotufo,Paulo Andrade; Bensenor,Isabela M.Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a very often clinical condition that can be associated with high mortality risk, particularly in coronary heart disease (CHD). The diagnosis of OSA is not always accessible via the gold-standard method polysomnography. Objective: To evaluate long-term influence of the high risk for OSA on fatal and non-fatal outcomes after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in th...
Post-Acute Coronary Syndrome Alcohol Abuse: Prospective Evaluation in the ERICO...
Morilha,Abner; Karagulian,Samuel; Lotufo,Paulo A.; Santos,Itamar S.; Benseñor,Isabela M.; Goulart,Alessandra C.Background:Some studies have indicated alcohol abuse as one of the contributors to the development of cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary heart disease. However, this relationship is controversial.Objective:To investigate the relationship between post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) alcohol abuse in the Acute Coronary Syndrome Registry Strategy (ERICO Study).Methods:146 participants from the ERICO Study...
Prevalence of stroke and associated disability in Brazil: National Health Surve...
Bensenor,Isabela M.; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Szwarcwald,Célia Landmann; Vieira,Maria Lucia França Pontes; Malta,Deborah Carvalho; Lotufo,Paulo A.There is scarce data about prevalence of stroke in Brazil. The National Health Survey (PNS) is a community-based epidemiological survey, with a nationally representative sample to assess the absolute numbers with respective prevalence rates of stroke and post-stroke disabilities. It was estimated 2,231.000 stroke and 568,000 stroke cases with severe disabilities. The point prevalences was 1.6% and 1.4% in men a...
Educational levels and the functional dependence of ischemic stroke survivors
Fernandes,Tiótrefis G.; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Santos-Junior,Waldyr R.; Alencar,Airlane P.; Benseñor,Isabela M.; Lotufo,Paulo A.We evaluated the functional dependence of stroke survivors from the Study of Stroke Mortality and Morbidity, using the Rankin Scale. Out of 355 ischemic stroke survivors (with a mean age of 67.9 years), 40% had some functional dependence at 28 days and 34.4% had some functional dependence at 6 months. Most predictors of physical dependence were identified at 28 days. These predictors were: low levels of educati...
Early stroke case-fatality rates in three hospital registries in the Northeast ...
Fernandes,Tiótrefis G.; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Campos,Tania F.; Lucena,Neide M. G.; Freitas,Karen L. A.; Trevisan,Cláudia M.; Benseñor,Isabela M.Few studies have addressed early cerebrovascular lethality in Brazil. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate 10 and 28-day stroke case-fatality rates in three hospitals in three Brazilian cities. METHODS: We described the stroke registries in São Paulo, João Pessoa, and Natal. RESULTS: Out of a total of 962 first-ever events (mean age, 68.1 years-old; 53% men), 83.6% (804 cases) were classified as ischemic and 16.4% (158) as h...
