He Las Higueras de Talcahuano Hospital When doing a search, through the Pubmed medical search engine, which records the publications of scientific articles carried out by Health professionals, shows the Buenos Aires enclosure as the second establishment nationwide – the first at the regional level – in dissemination of articles of this type, after the Gustavo Fricke de Santiago.
The local establishment managed to make a total of 38 indexed scientific publications in worldwide magazines such as; Scielo, Wos, Scopus and Pubmed with studies in the areas of traumatology, critical patients and nephrology, cardiocirugia, pedRIric, infectology, gynecology and neurology.
Although, the fig trees made the same number as the Santiago health center, occupies the second place in the Pubmed ranking, because of their publications in international magazines only 33 were recognized in the search engine.
The World Health Organization highlights health research as a fundamental pillar to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, work that allows strengthening health systems and equity in access to medical care. This scientific evidence allows to develop public health policies, based on data, optimizing resources and ensuring an improvement quality of life for the population.
Beyond that, as reported by the hospital, the units with the greatest number of publications were traumatology, critical patient and nephrology, each with 6 publications, representing 16% of the total. They are followed by cardiocirugia, with 5 publications (13%), and pediatrics, with 4 publications (11%).
Other areas with significant contributions, they indicated, were infectology, with 3 publications (8%), and gynecology and neurology, with 2 publications each (5%). Finally, internal medicine, emergency unit, cardiology and oncology reported one publication each, representing 3% of the total.
The director of the Hospital Center, Dr. Patricia Sánchez, in a ceremony held in the enclosure, recognized the work of participating professionals in different areas of scientific discovery and well -being of patients. “This demonstrates a commitment to investigate effective solutions and treatments on different issues that are concerned for public health,” said Sánchez.
Along the same lines, Cristóbal Alvarado, head of the Biomedical Research Unit explained that “this milestone is important because for the first time we make a very important number of publications in indexed magazines. If we do the search through Pubmed we are positioned in second place at the national level. This gives us relevance because the investigations are carried out outside the work schedule, which speaks of the commitment of the medical team, work in which they have participated at least 100 Research are live benefit of our patients. ”
In addition, the professional added that “the greatest impact is that it allows to know the problems we have at the local level and how to solve them in the best way. The grace of the magazines in which we publish is that they have relevance at national and worldwide.”
Research
Among the prominent articles in terms of the magazine (The Lancet Infectious Deserts) of greater impact according to SJR (metric indicator that measures the quality of a magazine calculating the average appointments received by each publication), it is called “viral elimination and viremia of the Andes virus during acute infection by Hantavirus: a prospective study”.
One of the collaborators was the head of the Infectology Unit, Dr. Álvaro Llancaqueo, who explained the importance of publication. “The research in which I participated has to do with the study of the disease by Hanta Virus, the repercussions that it can have and how it can be improved in the advancement of this disease, through how it occurs, what are the factors that influence gravity, in the pathophysiological mechanisms that help us understand how we can intervene in the result of the patients,” said the doctor.
-However, the professional emphasized prevention. “What matters most in that case is prevention, the ideal is not having the disease, knowing the transmission mechanisms, of affectation within a group of patients, once the disease could no longer be avoided, knowing how to manage it better and how to achieve therapeutic interventions that achieve a good result in the patient,” he said.
Meanwhile, the head of Neurology, Dr. Freddy Constanzo, commented on the impact that his publication in the magazine Frontiers in public health called “satisfaction of the patient COVID -19 and associated factors on telemedicine and hybrid system”.
“We during the Pandemia tried to extend our telemmonic services to most inside and outside the region, in that context, we were contacted by a health team in the city of Adís Abeba in Ethiopia because they had a lot Through telephone call and home visit to his Covid patients and it turned out that this was superior to the face -to -face care and transfer of patients towards their center.
He also added, “we had already demonstrated it here, that’s why Ethiopia was interested in us to transfer what we already knew. Now telemedicine is a care standard, before in 2015, 2016 it was not so, but now it is a standard in public health.”
Cristóbal Alvarado added that the work published in the Medical Magazine of Chile by Dr. Hans Müller, entitled “Transition of adolescents with chronic kidney disease: a critical challenge in the continuity of care” addresses the lack of structured programs for the transition of pediatric patients to adult care. He said that also presents an innovative model implemented in the fig trees that improves the continuity of care, encourages autonomy and reduces clinical complications.
Projections
The head of the Biomedical Research Unit, an area that acts as a regulatory, technical and ethical axis, which supports researchers from the protocols design to approval by the Ethics Committees and document management and, in addition, encourages the formation of new researchers, generates link with universities and international centers. He assured that without a doubt, research production has been growing.
In fact, between 2016 and 2018 only an annual investigation was made, then in 2019 5 and 2020 were carried out to increase, 8 investigations were conducted, the following year there was one more, in 2022 there were 12, in 2023 15 and last year 38.
Now, only what goes from the year has 16 publications one in Oncology, another publication in Dentistry, 3 in the critical patient unit, 5 in nephrology and 6 in traumatology.
Among the new Hodgkin lymphoma mortality publications; Early mobilization of patients with critical care: challenges and successes; renal transplant and perspectives on malignant neoplasms; Global and regional disparities in access to specialized services in sarcoma, among others.
And, according to the professional, the projected goal is to reach 45 publications this year in areas such as critical and advanced medicine, respiratory physiotherapy; Nephrology and renal palliative care; public health and preventive policies; Diagnostic technology and clinical bioengineering and, care in vulnerable populations such as pediatric or transplanted.
