The increase in poisonings in Colombia implies an increase in the frequency of hospitalizations; this represents a great expense for the health system. Objective: To describe the risk factors associated with hospitalization due to poisoning in the Ibagué city reported by the public health surveillance system for the year 2014. Methods: Descriptive study of secondary source. The records of the Ibagué Secretariat of Health were used for acute poisonings in 2014. The analysis was made with the calculation of incidents by type of agent, observing the outcome of hospitalizations. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the factors associated with the outcome of at least one hospitalization. Results: The causative agent with the highest incidence was on the part of the psychoactive substances with 33.02 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. A risk factor is significantly associated with the presence of the hospitalization outcome is the oral exposure of the substance with respect to other methods. Conclusions: It should be noted, the preventive natures of poisonings, given that 40.5% are suicidal concept, followed by intoxications for addiction that represent 26.6% of cases, these represent 67.1% of all cases. In addition, the levels of primary and secondary schooling present a significant association with the outcome regarding individuals without schooling. However, the only protective factor with significant association is age.","PeriodicalId":31194,"journal":{"name":"Revista de la Universidad Industrial de Santander Salud","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49389173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Resultados: El promedio de tiempo de residencia estuvo entre 6 y 9 anos y se encontro alta frecuencia de consumo de pescado. El 6,3% de los ninos y el 29,7% de los adolescentes, excedieron el limite permisible de mercurio en sangre y el 50,8% de los ninos y el 46,0% de los adolescentes excedieron el limite permisible en cabello.

Objetivo: Determinar factores asociados a la prevalencia de infeccion por virus de Papiloma Humano de alto riesgo en mujeres entre 35-65 anos con riesgo moderado o alto de cancer de cuello uterino de la zona norte de Bucaramanga. Metodologia: Estudio analitico de corte transversal. A las mujeres clasificadas como de moderado/alto riesgo para cancer de cuello uterino en una encuesta corta estandarizada, se les realizo una encuesta sobre factores potenciales asociados a infeccion, seguida de una autonoma de muestra cervical, que se utilizo para deteccion de DNA viral. Se realizo analisis multiple de regresion log-binomial para obtener Razones de Prevalencia ajustadas (RPa). Resultados: Se entrevistaron 810 mujeres, de estas 435 tuvieron moderado/alto riesgo para cancer y se realizaron la autotoma. La prevalencia de infeccion por VPH de alto riesgo fue de 5,1% (IC 95% 3,2-7,6). El sedentarismo (RPa 2,51; IC95% 1,15-5,50) y el sobrepeso/obesidad (PRa 4,20; IC95% 1,00-15,51) se asociaron a mayor prevalencia. Ademas, hubo una tendencia de incremento en la prevalencia de infeccion en las usuarias de anticonceptivos inyectables; asi como una tendencia de disminucion de esta prevalencia segun porciones de frutas y verduras consumidas diariamente. Conclusion: Factores modificables como sedentarismo y sobrepeso/obesidad, se asociaron independientemente a mayor prevalencia de infeccion por VPH en la poblacion estudiada.

However, viral elimination is associated to multiple factors, according to the population characteristics and geographic areas, some are modifiable and others not. Objective: To determine the factors associated with the prevalence of high risk human papillomavirus infection in women between 35-65 years old with moderate or high risk of cervical cancer located at the northern zone of Bucaramanga. Methodology: Cross-sectional analytical study. Women classified as moderate/ high risk for cervical cancer in a short standardized survey, were surveyed on the side effects associated to chronic viral infection and self-sampling cervical test. Bivariate analysis and multiple analysis of log-binomial regression were performed. Results: 810 women were interviewed; 435 cases of high cancer risk were presented. The prevalence of high risk human papilloma virus infection was 5.1% (95% CI 3.2-7.6).
