Características de enfermedades reumatológicas autoinmunes seleccionadas en pacientes de consulta externa del Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso enero-diciembre 2018

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Autoimmune rheumatic diseases have low prevalence and high impact on quality of life and morbidity-mortality in people who suffer from them. Despite this there are few studies regionally, nationally and internationally. The estimated global prevalence is 100 - 1100 per 100,000 people for RA, 20-400/100,000 inhabitants for SLE, 0.7 to 70/100,000 inhabitants in the ES and in the SS it ranges from 300 to 600/100,000 inhabitants. GENERAL OBJECTIVE: determine characteristics of selected autoimmune rheumatic diseases in outpatients of the rheumatology service of the Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital in the period of January - December 2018. METHODOLOGY: cross-sectional descriptive observational study, in the patients who attended an outpatient clinic during the year 2018. Information was collected with a form prepared by the authors from the clinical records which have inclusion criteria. Prevalence rate was calculated in cases per 100,000 people. The results were classified according to sociodemographic characteristics and clinical and laboratory data of the four diseases. RESULTS: all diseases showed a predominance by the feminine sex. AR showed a prevalence of 76 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, with FR being the most frequent autoantibody. SLE, showed a rate of 76 cases, SS of 42 cases and ES of 17, all per 100,000 inhabitants. The most frequent autoantibody in the three diseases was ANA, followed by anti-DNA. CONCLUSIONS: the results obtained in the investigation are similar to other studies found at the time of comparison, however the percentages of autoantibody detection are lower than those found in different investigations.
