Objective: Identify the transfusion characteristics and hemovigilance of pediatric patients with cancer at SOLCA Institute of Cuenca, January-December 2021. Method: A descriptive study was carried out with all patients under 18 years of age who required transfusions and all blood transfusions performed at SOLCA-Cuenca 2021. The data were collected using a previously validated form and were analyzed in the SPSS v25.0 program, presenting them as frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation. Results: 73 patients and 620 transfusions were studied, predominantly: adolescents (45.2%), males (63%), half-blood people (98.6%), urban people (76.7%), ORH+ group (83.5%), B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (49.3%) and induction chemotherapy (41.1%). 58.9% had a history of transfusion and 4.1% a previous reaction (urticaria). The mean transfusion per patient was 8.49 and 7.1% were premedicated with steroids; mainly erythrocyte concentrates (49%) were transfused to anemia (95.4%) at 9.32ml/kg (mean) in 121 to 180 minutes (56.9%). From 3.1% of reactions evidenced, 100% were immediate, non-infectious (urticaria 84.2%), definitive and were treated with medication (84.2% steroids); 79% of reactions were mild; were secondary to erythrocyte concentrates (47.4%), apheresis (47.4%) and; evidenced in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (31.5%). Conclusions: Patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia required more blood transfusions, mainly erythrocyte concentrates; while transfusion reactions were frequently associated with erythrocyte concentrates and apheresis.

As dysmenorrhea is a clinical chart of adolescent women, it becomes essential to obtain percentages of our own population. The present study was done to determine the prevalence of dysmenorrhea in our population and its relation with nutritional status. Objective: to identify the degree of dysmenorrhea and whether there is a relationship with Body Mass Index (BMI), truancy and the general disease condition in the students of 13 - 19 years of the "Miguel Merchan Ochoa" High School in the City of Cuenca. Materials and methods: this is a descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The sample - universe was composed of 380 female students who were registered in the academic year 2013 - 2014 and who were going to study days regularly. The responses of the 380 students of the forms created for this investigation were analyzed, for which the statistical package SPSS version 15 in Spanish was used. To tabulate the data we use mean, standard deviation and the prevalence ratio (PR). Results: the prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 77.9%; which was subdivided into mild dysmenorrhea: 20.9%, moderate 49.3% and severe 29.8%. Dysmenorrhea relationship with BMI was not statistically significant; but the association with systemic involvement and truancy showed a significant difference with a value of p=0.000.
