    Calidad de vida en pacientes con artritis reumatoide
    (Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, 2018) Ana Victoria Bellorin; Patricia Ramírez; Isver Junior Bracho Niño; Erika Isabel Valestrini Abreu; Otto Daniel Torres Delgado; Geohanna Noel; Humberto Riera
    "La artritis reumatoide (AR) es una enfermedad crónica autoinmune que se caracteriza por dolor e inflamación de las articulaciones. Afecta al 1% de la población, siendo una enfermedad frecuente, que predomina en mujeres sin predisposición por grupos etarios. En el Estado Mérida, Venezuela, no hay reportes ni revisiones sobre la incidencia y/o prevalencia de esta enfermedad. Los cambios en la calidad de vida realizados por esta patología pueden ser percibidos de forma positiva o negativa por los pacientes. Por ello, se realizó un estudio transversal, observacional, descriptivo, el cual consistió en la aplicación de un conjunto de cuestionarios que buscaron determinar la percepción de la calidad de vida de los pacientes con AR y si la misma se ve influenciada por la relación médico-paciente. La muestra en estudio fueron 75 individuos divididos en dos grupos, un grupo control conformado por 25 personas y un grupo de 50 pacientes con AR que asistieron al Servicio de Reumatología del Instituto Autónomo Hospital Universitario de Los Andes(IAHULA), Mérida- Venezuela. Se observó una mayor frecuencia de AR en la población femenina, con una media de edad de 46,81 años, donde no se evidenció cambios en la percepción de la calidad de vida comparando el grupo control con el de pacientes, siendo esto independiente de la relación médico-paciente."

    (2019) Luis Dulcey; Héctor Moreno; William Gonzales; Rodolfo Martheyn; Jonathan Pineda; José Sampayo; Diana Villamizar; A.O. Rosas; Vicente Martínez Rodríguez; Humberto Riera
    Osteoporosis affects 20% of postmenopausal women in E.E.U.U. The lifetime risk of suffering a fracture after 50 years is 40% for women and 13% for men. In view of the fact that patients with rheumatological diseases present a higher risk for the development of osteoporosis, we set out to develop this study. Retrospective study aimed at determining the presence of risk factors in patients over 50 years of age who attend the IAHULA Rheumatology service in the period from 2016 to 2017. The main group of patients was the female gender and the ages between 50 and 65 years. The main rheumatological pathology was RA, followed by SLE, Arthrosis in 3 place and finally in the last cell other entities than those indicated. The 2 main risk factors for the development of osteoporosis were the use of steroids followed by obesity. The main type of osteoporosis of the 2 categories described was the non-serious one. Those with rheumatoid arthritis were the main group of rheumatological patients that was most associated with osteoporosis. 12% of patients with rheumatic disease and osteoporosis did not have appropriate therapy. There is a large percentage of patients with rheumatic disease who suffer from osteoporosis and as a special population, measures should be taken to prevent its appearance and to treat it in cases that suffer from it.

    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016) Oscar Rillo; Humberto Riera; Carlota Acosta; Verónica Liendo; Joyce Bolaños; Ligia Monterola; Edgar Nieto; R. Arapé; Luisa Franco; Mariflor Vera
    These recommendations are based on the consensus of clinical experts from a wide range of disciplines taking available evidence into account while balancing the benefits and risks of nonpharmacological, pharmacological, and surgical treatment modalities, and incorporating their preferences and values. Different backgrounds in terms of patient education or drug availability in different countries were not evaluated but will be important.
