Insights

This study profiled cleft lip palate (CLP) patients treated at a Mexican hospital from 2011-2014. Standardizing medical records is crucial for improving patient monitoring and treatment outcomes for CLP.

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Pediatric health
  • Congenital disorders

Background:

  • Cleft lip palate (CLP) is a common congenital facial disorder.
  • This study focuses on CLP patients from Hospital de Especialidades del Niño y la Mujer (HENM) in Queretaro, Mexico.
  • Data was collected from 2011 to 2014.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To generate the clinical-epidemiological profile of CLP patients.
  • To inform interdisciplinary treatment strategies for CLP.
  • To improve patient care based on pediatric records.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective, cross-sectional, observational study.
  • Reviewed 100 patient records, excluding 15 syndromic cases.
  • Analyzed epidemiological, clinical, and socio-demographic variables.

Main Results:

  • Detailed epidemiological profiles including maternal, patient, and socioeconomic factors were registered.
  • Clinical profiles covered disease classification, sex, structure, side, and surgical details.
  • The study registered the classification and order of surgeries performed.

Conclusions:

  • Standardizing medical record registration is essential for better CLP patient monitoring and treatment.
  • Emphasizing actions to maintain a low incidence of CLP in Queretaro is recommended.
  • Improved data management can enhance interdisciplinary care for CLP patients.

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Study Designs in Epidemiology01:20

Study Designs in Epidemiology

Epidemiological study designs are fundamental tools for investigating the distribution, determinants, and control of health conditions in populations. They help researchers understand the relationships between exposures and outcomes, and they broadly fall into two categories: "observational" and "experimental" studies.
Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and...

Confounding in Epidemiological Studies01:27

Confounding in Epidemiological Studies

Confounding in statistical epidemiology represents a pivotal challenge, referring to the distortion in the perceived relationship between an exposure and an outcome due to the presence of a third variable, known as a confounder. This variable is associated with both the exposure and the outcome but is not a direct link in their causal chain. Its presence can lead to erroneous interpretations of the exposure's effect, either exaggerating or underestimating the true association. This...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Hospitals-I

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

Secondary Active Transport01:55

Secondary Active Transport

One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...
