Artigo Brazilian older people hospitalized by COVID-19: characteristics and prognostic factors in a retrospective cohort study(SAGE Publications, 2021-01-06) Santos, Marquiony M.; Lucena, Eudes Euler Souza; Bonfada, Diego; Santos, Aramis Costa; Vechi, Hareton Teixeira; Lima, Kenio Costa deObjective: analyzing the survival of older people hospitalized due to COVID-19 in Brazil and identifying its main predictive factors for death. Method: this is a retrospective, multicenter cohort study, based on 20,831 records of hospitalizations of older people due to SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil. The observation period was from February 28 to May 18, 2020. Results: there was a reduced overall survival time of 47.70% (95% confidence interval [CI] = [46.72%, 48.67%]) in 10 days. The variables age, race, education, intensive care unit (ICU), region, day of hospitalization, time elapsed between the first symptom and hospitalization, and the municipality that provided assistance showed increased risk of death using the multiple Cox proportional-hazards model. Conclusion: these results emphasize the relevance of inequality and access to health services as determinants for the death of older people with COVID-19Artigo Prevalence of urinary incontinence and associated factors in nursing home residents(Wiley, 2016) Souza, Dyego Leandro Bezerra de; Jerez-Roig, Javier; Santos, Marquiony M.; Amaral, Fabienne Louise J.S.; Lima, Kenio C.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8426-3120Aims:To determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and associated factors in the institutionalized elderly.Methods:A cross-sectional study is presented herein, conducted between October and December 2013, in 10 nursinghomes in the city of Natal (Northeast Brazil). Individuals over the age of 60, who reside in institutions, were included.Hospitalized individuals and those at end of life were excluded. Data collection included sociodemographic information,UI characterization, as well as variables related to the institution itself and to health conditions (comorbidities,medication, pelvic floor surgery, Barthel Index for functional capacity, and Pfeiffer test for cognitive status). UI wasverified through the Minimum Data Set (MDS) version 3.0, which was also used to assess urinary devices and UI toiletingprograms. The Chi-square test (or Fisher’s exact test), the linear Chi-square test, and logistic regression were utilized tomodel associations.Results:The final sample consisted of 321 elderly, mostly females, with a mean age of 81.5 years. Theprevalence of UI was 58.88% (CI 95%: 53.42–64.13) and the final model revealed a statistically significant associationbetween UI and white race, physical inactivity, stroke, mobility impairment, and cognitive decline. The most frequent UItype was functional UI and toileting programs (prompted voiding) were only applied to approximately 8% of residents.Conclusions:It is concluded that UI is a health issue that affects more than half of the institutionalized elderly, and isassociated with white race, physical inactivity, stroke, and other geriatric syndromes such as immobility and cognitivedisability.
