Publicación Acceso abierto Sexuality in people living with a serious mental illness: A meta-synthesis of qualitative evidence(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2020-09-03) Hortal-Mas, Roger; Moreno-Poyato, Antonio Rafael; Granel-Giménez, Nina; Roviralta-Vilella, Maria; Watson-Badia, Carolina; Gómez-Ibáñez, Rebeca; Aguayo-González, Mariela Patricia; Giménez-Díez, David; Bernabeu-Tamayo, Maria Dolores; Leyva-Moral, Juan Manuel“Introduction: Sexuality-related nursing care is scarce and mainly focuses on biological issues. There is also a lack of knowledge about how serious mental illnesses affect sexuality. Aim: To explain how people with a serious mental illness perceive and experience their sexuality Method: A meta-synthesis was conducted to integrate qualitative studies. Four databases were used to perform the search, focused in the last ten years. Nine articles were included, and their results analysed thematically. Results: Four categories were identified: ““Pathologized sexuality,““ which explains how the disorder and treatment affect sexuality; ““Not my sexuality anymore,” which describes feelings emerging from the perceived limitations and the role of self-acceptance; “Learning to manage intimate relationships,” which explains the desire to establish intimate personal relationships and define their meaning; and ““Reconstructing my sexuality,““ which elucidates the influence of the environment on sexuality. Discussion: Sexuality is influenced by several factors, the main ones being: the clinical complications, the side effects of drug treatment, the social support, the relationship with the health sector and stigma. Implications for practice: Having a serious mental illness affects sexuality and can provoke suffering and social isolation. Mental health services should address this issue and carry out community interventions to reduce stigma.“Publicación Acceso abierto Características laborales y académicas de los recursos humanos del sistema de salud en ocho países de Latinoamérica(Universidad de Antioquia, 2021-01-28) Mejía, Christian R.; Chacón, Jhosselyn L.; Serrano, Felipe T.; Antón-Montero, Vicente; Gavilema-Tipantuña, Danny; orge, Marian J; Garay, Edwin; Estupiñán, Andrea; Madrigal-Miranda, Jason F.Introducción: la mayoría de las investigaciones muestran la situa-ción de los recursos humanos del sistema de salud en países primer-mundistas, por lo que es necesario caracterizar nuestra realidad lati-noamericana en este aspecto.Objetivo: caracterizar el tipo de trabajo y la formación de posgrado de los recursos humanos del área de salud en ocho países de Latino-américa.Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo a través de encuestas au-toaplicadas sobre las características de los centros de labores y capa-citaciones de posgrado que se han tenido.Resultados: de las 1.283 personas que respondieron la encuesta, el 87,1 % laboraba en un hospital (salario promedio mensual: 840 dó-lares), el 23,3 % también lo hacía en una clínica (salario promedio mensual: 1.200 dólares). Además, solo el 20,5 % trabajaba en un esta-blecimiento del primer nivel de atención (salario promedio mensual: 420 dólares). El 31,2 % había realizado un curso de posgrado, el 23,2 % un diplomado, el 17,8 % una maestría y, el 5,1 %, un doctorado.Conclusiones: los recursos humanos en salud trabajan principalmen-te en hospitales con sueldos diferentes según el lugar donde laboran. Los médicos son los que tienen mayor remuneración, pero en el sec-tor privado las diferencias son menos marcadas.

Consiste en la afectación del tejido periapical como resultado de la activación de mecanismos de inflamación, los que incluyen lisis y reabsorción de tejidos de soporte como cemento, ligamento y hueso alveolar. El signo patognomónico de la periodontitis apical es la presencia de radiolucidez periapical, resultado de la destrucción de los tejidos periapicales. Su principal tratamiento abarca el manejo endodóntico convencional cuyo objetivo es la eliminación de los irritantes locales dentro del conducto radicular. Sin embargo, cuando se desarrollan lesiones de gran tamaño es necesario complementar con terapias que aceleren la reparación, una de ellas la descompresión, la cual a partir de la reducción de la presión intralesión e intraósea con lo que favorece la formación de tejido fibroso, conectivo y óseo. Objetivo: Describir la técnica de descompresión intraconducto en el manejo de lesiones periapicales de gran tamaño. Presentación del caso: Paciente de 33 años de edad, con diagnóstico de periodontitis apical asintomática y evaluación tomográfica de lesión periapical de gran tamaño (67,5 UH) manejado con terapia endodóntica convencional y descomprensión intraconducto como terapia coadyuvante. Posterior a la restauración se realizaron controles clínicos y radiográficos. A los 24 meses se evidenció reparación de los tejidos involucrados con restauración del espacio del ligamento periodontal. Conclusiones: En este caso, la terapia descomprensiva fue una alternativa en el manejo de una lesión periapical de gran tamaño, que permitió regular la presión intraósea y facilitar la regeneración del tejido óseo, evitando la intervención quirúrgica siendo así más confortante para el paciente. “Publicación Acceso abierto Geographic and socioeconomic inequalities in cesarean birth rates in Peru: A comparison between 2009 and 2018(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2021-07-08) Hernández-Vásquez, Akram; Chacón-Torrico, Horacio; Bendezu-Quispe, GuidoBackground There is a global concern about the high rates of cesarean birth (CB). This study aimed to investigate the geographic and socioeconomic inequalities in CB rates in the Peruvian population. Methods We conducted a population-based study using the Peruvian Demographic and Family Health Surveys (ENDES, the Spanish acronym for Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar) between 2009 and 2018. ENDES reported data from births registered in the five years preceding survey execution. For the years 2009 (n = 10 289) and 2018 (n = 23 077), we calculated the weighted rates of CB among variables such as natural geographic domain (Coast, Andean, or Amazon), area of residence (rural or urban), wealth index quintile (quintile 1 is poorest, and quintile 5 is richest), and educational level. To assess inequalities, we calculated the concentration index (CIs), the slope index of inequality (SII), and the relative index of inequality (RII). Results The CB rates by year were 21.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 20.0-22.9) in 2009 and 34.5% (95% CI: 33.4-35.5) in 2018. Women living in urban and coastal regions and with a higher education level had the highest CB rates. All the CIs were positive, reflecting a prowealthy inequality in CB rates, and both SII and RII were positive, indicating a gap between the use of cesarean in women in the higher wealth quintile compared with those in the lower quintile. Conclusions Cesarean birth rates have increased by 60% during the last decade in Peru. The richest wealth quintiles had the highest CB rates during the study years, which were well above global recommendations.Publicación Acceso abierto Automedicación y riesgo de abuso con benzodiacepinas en pacientes adultos Lima-Perú, 2019(Sociedad de Neurologia Psiquiatria y Neurocirugia, 2021-09-26) Cabanillas-Tejada, John K.; Allpas-Gómez, Henry L.; Brito-Nuñez, Jesús D.; Mejia, Christian R.“Introduction: Benzodiazepines have the potential to generate abuse, so an indiscriminate consumption, through the sale without prescription and the practice of self-medication, would mean a high risk due to their abuse. Objective: To establish the relationship between self-medication with benzodiazepines and the risk of abuse that requires treatment in adult patients of Hospital San Juan de Lurigancho, 2019. Methodology: It was an observational, correlational descriptive, transversal and prospective study. The sample size was 874 participants (95.0% confidence level; 80% power). Sampling was performed nonrandomly. A survey was used to determine demographics, benzodiazepine use, and questions of Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). Results: Of the study population, the most prevalent demographic data were female sex (74.5%), the median age was 52 years (interquartile range: 40-62 years), the age range 50-59 years (26.43%), married marital status (31.6%), secondary education level (48.4%) and occupation as a housewife (47.3%). Of adults studied, 485 were considered as consumers of benzodiazepines with prescription and 389 consumers without a prescription. Prescription and nonprescription consumers needing treatment were 129 (26.60%) and 245 (62.98%), respectively (p <0.001). Conclusion: There is a higher prevalence of people who need treatment for abuse in consumers without a prescription than in the group of consumers with a prescription so there is a significant relationship between self-medication with benzodiazepines and the risk of abuse that requires treatment in study population.“Publicación Acceso abierto Measuring the Protective Effect of Health Insurance Coverage on Out-of-Pocket Expenditures During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Peruvian Population(Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2021-11-07) Hernández-Vásquez, Akram; Rojas-Roque, Carlos; Barrenechea-Pulache, Antonio; Guido Bendezú-QuispeAbstract Background: Health insurance coverage is expected to protect individuals from out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures, potentially preventing them from falling into poverty. However, to date, the effect of health insurance on OOP spending during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has not been fully explored. This study aimed to estimate differences in the proportion and the amount of OOP expenditures among Peruvians during the pre- and post-mandatory lockdown response to COVID-19 in 2020 according to the health insurance coverage status. Methods: This study utilized repeated cross-sectional data from the National Household Survey on Living and Poverty Conditions (ENAHO) from the first quarter of 2017 until the fourth quarter of 2020. The outcomes were (i) the proportion of individuals who incurred OOP expenditures and (ii) the monetary value of OOP expenditures. An interrupted time series analysis (ITS) and a quasi-experimental difference-in-difference (DID) analysis were performed to examine the outcomes among the control (individuals without health insurance) and treatment groups (individuals with health insurance) after the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: ITS analysis showed that the proportion of individuals reporting OOP expenditures after implementation of mandatory lockdown due to COVID-19 in Peru decreased in both groups, but no difference in the slope trend was found (P=.916). The average quarterly amount of OOP spending increased in both groups, but no difference in the slope trend was found (P=.073). Lastly, the DID analysis showed that the mandatory lockdown was associated with a higher amount of OOP, but there was no evidence to indicate that the higher amount was different between the control and treatment groups. Conclusion: The mandatory lockdown in response to the COVID-19 was associated with a higher amount of OOP expenditures and a lower likelihood of incurring OOP expenditures. However, our findings suggest that health insurance coverage does not lower OOP expenditures or reduce the likelihood of incurring OOP expenditures.Publicación Acceso abierto Determinantes de la satisfacción laboral en un establecimiento de salud durante el estado de emergencia sanitaria, Perú(UNIV PERUANA UNION, 2021-11-08) Mendoza-Briceño, Edmer; Guerrero Bejarano, María Auxiliadora; Carhuancho-Mendoza, Irma; Nolazco-Labajos, Fernando; Daniel Silva SiuEn la presente investigación se examinaron los factores determinantes de la satisfacción laboral en un establecimiento de salud durante el estado de emergencia sanitaria en Perú. Se realizaron encuestas a 244 colaboradores de las diferentes áreas del establecimiento de salud. El estudio se realizó bajo el enfoque cuantitativo y de diseño ex post facto. La técnica de recopilación de datos fue la encuesta, la que se aplicó en el mes de agosto del 2020, cuando los casos de Covid 19 iban en aumento. Para la contrastación de la hipótesis se aplicó la regresión jerárquica por pasos, donde se determinó dos modelos que expliquen la satisfacción laboral. El primer modelo explica que la satisfacción laboral depende del burnout en un 20.4%, con una potencia de 0.996; mientras que el segundo modelo explica la satisfacción laboral por el burnout y la motivación en un 28.7%, con una potencia de 0.99. Por lo tanto, en la investigación se confirmó que las determinantes de la satisfacción laboral son el burnout y la motivación según los colaboradores del establecimiento de salud durante el estado de emergencia sanitaria.Publicación Acceso abierto How much Fear of COVID-19 is There in Latin America? A Prospective Exploratory Study in Six Countries(Modestum LTD, 2021-12-02) Moya-Salazar, Jeel; Cañari, Betsy; Contreras-Pulache, Hans“Introduction: During the unprecedented lockdown, COVID-19 is causing people to suffer from mental disorders in response to strict containment measures. Latin America is the third most severely affected continent, and restrictive measures can have many negative effects on mental health (such as anxiety, depression, and stress) that may arise with fear. We aimed to measure the spread of fear of COVID-19 in the Latin American population. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective study in 535 participants of six countries of Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru), and a country of Europe (Spain) as a control, during 2020. We used the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. Results: The mean age was 31.2±13.2 years (70.8% under 30 years) and the majority were women (57.9%) and 76.6% had a technical, university, or postgraduate studies. Seven percent of participants had high rates of fear of COVID-19, these high estimates of fear were observed in Argentines (14.3%, score range: 28-31%), of Peruvians (10.2%, score range: 27-35%), and Mexicans (5.7%, score range: 27-29%). Both Peru (p=0.003) and Mexico (p=0.0001) showed significant differences from the control country. We showed low levels of fear in 57.1%, 45.5%, 42.9%, and 41.2% of Argentines, Colombians, Bolivians, and Peruvians, respectively. No differences in low levels of fear we found among age groups (p> 0.05), however, we find differences between genders (p=0.001). Conclusions: These results suggested low levels of fear in six Latin American countries, highlighting the need to contextualize fear behavior as a key element in people’s psychological well-being and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.“Publicación Acceso abierto How much Fear of COVID-19 is There in Latin America?

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the presence of COVID-19 symptoms and adherence to CMS in Latin American adults. Methods: We carried out a secondary analysis of a database developed by the University of Maryland and Facebook social network during the COVID-19 pandemic. We included Latin American adults that used the Facebook platform and participated in a survey conducted from April 23 to May 23, 2020. The principal outcome variable was reported compliance with the three main CMS (physical distancing, use of face masks, and hand washing). The exposure variable included symptoms suspicious for COVID-19 defined as the presence of three or more symptoms of an acute clinical case of COVID-19. We performed generalized linear models of the Poisson family with a logarithmic link function to evaluate the association between the presence of COVID-19 symptoms and reported compliance with CMS. We calculated crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) with their 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results: We analyzed 1,310,690 adults from Latin America; 48.1% were male and 42.9% were under 35 years of age. The prevalence of suspicious symptoms of COVID-19 was 18.5% and reported compliance with the three CMS was 45.3%. The countries with the highest proportion of reported compliance with the three CMS were Peru, Bolivia and Panama, while those with the lowest reported compliance were Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras. In the adjusted model, people with suspicious symptoms for COVID-19 had a 14% lower compliance with the three CMS (aPR = 0.86; 95%CI: 0.85–0.87; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Less than half of the participants complied with the CMS, and those presenting suspicious symptoms for COVID-19 had lower reported compliance with the three CMS.Publicación Acceso abierto Sociodemographic Predictors Associated with the Willingness to Get Vaccinated against COVID-19 in Peru: A Cross-Sectional Survey(MDPI, 2021-12-30) Vizcardo, David; Figueroa Salvador, Linder; Nole-Vara, Arian; Pizarro Dávila, Karen; Alvarez-Risco, Aldo; Yáñez, Jaime A.; Mejia, Christian R.During the race for the development of a vaccine against COVID-19, even before itscommercialization, part of the population has already shown a growing fear of its application. Wedesigned an analytical cross-sectional study using an anonymous survey in the 25 departmentsof Peru. We surveyed whether the participants were planning on getting vaccinated, as well asother characteristics that were cross-checked in a uni-, bi- and multivariate manner. Of the 1776respondents, 70% (1251) stated that they were planning to be vaccinated, 20% (346) did not knowyet or doubted it, and 10% (179) did not want to be vaccinated. We observed that those who did notget infected with COVID-19 exhibited a higher frequency to not wanting or were uncertain aboutgetting vaccinated (aPR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.09–1.81;p-value = 0.008). In contrast, there was a lowerfrequency of vaccine refusal among university students (aPR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.61–0.92;p-value = 0.005)and healthcare workers (aPR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.44–0.80;p-value = 0.001); adjusted by place of residence.There is still an important percentage of respondents who do not want to be vaccinated or are hesitantto do it, which was associated with educational level, being a healthcare worker and if they werepreviously infected with COVID-19. Our results could offer useful information about COVID-19vaccination campaigns.Publicación Acceso abierto Sociodemographic Predictors Associated with the Willingness to Get Vaccinated against COVID-19 in Peru: A Cross-Sectional Survey(MDPI, 2021-12-30) Vizcardo, David; Figueroa Salvador, Linder; Nole-Vara, Arian; Pizarro Dávila, Karen; Alvarez-Risco, Aldo; Yáñez, Jaime A.; Mejia, Christian R.During the race for the development of a vaccine against COVID-19, even before itscommercialization, part of the population has already shown a growing fear of its application.

The responsibility falls on the university, the undeniable center of knowledge, since it must embrace teaching and research, and transform it so that it results in the greatest economic, political and social development of the country. The objective was to know the attitude towards research in Education students of a national university in Metropolitan Lima 2022. The sample consisted of 110 students from the Faculty of Education during the year 2022. The information was collected through the version revised scale of attitudes towards research (EACIN). The results indicated that70% had a bad attitude towards research; 21.8%, regular level and 8.2%, good attitude. Interest in research was similar between the fair and poor levels, 45.5% and 42.7%, respectively; only 11.8% presented a good level. 68.2% showed a poor vocation for research; 25.5%, regular level and 6.4%, good. The evaluation of the investigation had the highest percentage in the bad level, 81.8%; regular level with 14.5% and good valuation 3.6%Publicación Acceso abierto “Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES): Analysis of the factorial structure and proposal of a new version of only positive items“(Universidad de Almeria, 2022) Vilca, Lindsey W.; Travezaño-Cabrera, Aaron; Santos-Garcia, Stephany“Introduction. The objective was to evaluate the factor structure and propose a new version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale with only positive items to overcome the method effect associated with negative items. Method. A version A (positive and negative items) and a version B (only positive items) were considered. A sample of 350 university students was collected for each version. Results. The CFA shows that version A's one-dimensional model (A1) does not present adequate fit indices. It was also found that adding a specific factor for negative items (model A2) and another factor for positive items (model A3) does not improve the fit indices. A twodimensional model (A4 model) does not improve the fit indices either. Regarding the onedimensional model of version B, it presents a superior fit compared to the original model (model A1) Discussion and Conclusions. It is concluded that version B, a proposal of only positive items, adequately measures self-esteem since it does not have negative items and agrees with Rosenberg's original approach. “Publicación Acceso abierto Free Hardware based System for Air Quality and CO2 Monitoring(Science and Information Organization, 2022) Alvarez-Mendoza, Cristhoper; Vilchez-Lucana, Jhon; Sierra-Liñan, Fernando; Cabanillas-Carbonell, MichaelDue to the increase in air pollution, especially in Latin American countries of low and middle income, great environmental and health risks have been generated, highlighting that there is more pollution in closed environments. Given this problem, it has been proposed to develop a system based on free hardware for monitoring air quality and CO2, in order to reduce the levels of air pollution in a closed environment, improving the quality of life of people and contributing to the awareness of the damage caused to the environment by the hand of man himself. The system is based on V-Model, complemented with a ventilation prototype implemented with sensors and an application for its respective monitoring. The sample collected in the present investigation was non-probabilistic, derived from the reports of air indicators during 15 days with specific schedules of 9am, 1pm and 6pm. The results obtained indicated that the air quality decreased to 670 ppm, as well as the collection time decreased to 5 seconds and finally the presence of CO2 was reduced to 650 ppm after the implementation of the system, achieving to be within the standards recommended by the World Health Organization.Publicación Acceso abierto Mobile Applications for the Implementation of Health Control against Covid-19 in Educational Centers, a Systematic Review of the Literature(SCIENCE & INFORMATION SAI ORGANIZATION LTD, 2022) Quispe-Lavalle, Bryan; Sierra-Liñan, Fernando; Cabanillas-Carbonell, Michael“—A health crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is still ongoing. That is why an important factor for the resumption of on-site classes is the creation of sanitary measures to help control Covid-19. The present research is a literature review, The PRISMA methodology is used and 265 articles are collected from various databases such as EBSCO Host, IEEE Xplore, SAGE, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the most relevant articles aligned to the topic were identified, systematizing 119 articles. Showcasing digital technologies used in mobile applications that allow better control, tracking, and monitoring of the health status of students, teachers, and staff of educational centers, in addition to the parameters and quality attributes that must be taken into account for the effective sanitary control of the disease, finally, a development model is proposed. “Publicación Acceso abierto ALFABETIZACIÓN EMOCIONAL EN CONTEXTOS VULNERABLES CON DIBUJOS DIGITALES(Global Knowledge Academics, 2022) HOLGUIN-ALVAREZ, JHON; CRUZ-MONTERO, JUANA; APAZA-QUISPE, JUAN; MERINO FLORES, IRENE; RUIZ- SALAZAR, JENNYThe objective sought to determine the effects on emotional literacy in the elaboration of digital drawings and traditional drawings in the cooperative and individual pedagogical format. 120 schoolchildren from vulnerable contexts participated. The data was collected by a scale based on Fury's proposals. Se advierten efectos de mejora en el cambio de laalfabetización emocional, y en sus componentes de expresividad y valencia. Improvement effects are noted in the change of emotionalliteracy, and in its components of expressiveness and valence. A higherlevel was detected in the change from negative to positive emotions in thedrawings of children who used tablets collaboratively, as opposed to thosewho did so individually.Publicación Acceso abierto “The Monkeypox Fear Scale: development and initial validation in a Peruvian sample “(BioMed Central Ltd, 2022) Caycho‑Rodríguez, Tomás; Vilca, Lindsey W.; Carbajal‑León, Carlos; Gallegos, Miguel; Reyes‑Bossio, Mario; Noe‑Grijalva, Martin; Delgado‑Campusano, Mariel; Muñoz‑del‑Carpio‑Toia, Águeda“Background: Fear is one of the basic emotions generated during periods of infectious diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale that assesses monkeypox fear, the Monkeypox Fear Scale (MFS). Methods: A total of 451 Peruvians participated (61% women and 39% men), with a mean age of 28.31 years (SD=9.72). based on procedures from classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) procedures were used. Results: The results showed that MFS has a two-factor structure related to emotional and physiological fear fac‑ tors (χ2=41.87; df=12; p<.001; CFI=.99; TLI=.99; RMSEA=.074 [IC90% .051–.100]). In addition, the physiological and emotional factors showed good reliability. Measurement invariance analysis showed that the factor structure of the MFS is strictly invariant between male and female groups. Finally, the discrimination and difculty parameters of the items show adequacy. In addition, the scale seems to be more accurate in measuring high levels of fear of monkeypox. Conclusion: The MFS has adequate psychometric evidence to assess fear of monkeypox in the Peruvian population. These fndings may guide future studies related to the consequences of monkeypox on mental health.“Publicación Acceso abierto Sentiment Analysis of Tweets using Unsupervised Learning Techniques and the K-Means Algorithm(Science and Information Organization, 2022) Iparraguirre-Villanueva, Orlando; Guevara-Ponce, Victor; Sierra-Liñan, Fernando; Beltozar-Clemente, Saul; Cabanillas-Carbonel, MichaelToday, web content such as images, text, speeches, and videos are user-generated, and social networks have become increasingly popular as a means for people to share their ideas and opinions. One of the most popular social media for expressing their feelings towards events that occur is Twitter. The main objective of this study is to classify and analyze the content of the affiliates of the Pension and Funds Administration (AFP) published on Twitter. This study incorporates machine learning techniques for data mining, cleaning, tokenization, exploratory analysis, classification, and sentiment analysis. To apply the study and examine the data, Twitter was used with the hashtag #afp, followed by descriptive and exploratory analysis, including metrics of the tweets. Finally, a content analysis was carried out, including word frequency calculation, lemmatization, and classification of words by sentiment, emotions, and word cloud. The study uses tweets published in the month of May 2022. Sentiment distribution was also performed in three polarity classes: positive, neutral, and negative, representing 22%, 4%, and 74% respectively. Supported by the unsupervised learning method and the K-Means algorithm, we were able to determine the number of clusters using the elbow method. Finally, the sentiment analysis and the clusters formed indicate that there is a very pronounced dispersion, the distances are not very similar, even though the data standardization work was carried out.Publicación Acceso abierto A Functional Assessment Tool to Distinguish Controls From Alzheimer’s Disease in Lima, Peru(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2022) Custodio, Nilton; Montesinos, Rosa; Chambergo-Michilot, Diego; Herrera-Perez, Eder; Pintado-Caipa, Maritza; Seminario, Wendy; Cuenca, Jose; Mesía, Laura; Failoc-Rojas, Virgilio E; Diaz, Monica MBackground: The Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) scale is a versatile functional assessment tool for patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We evaluated its performance in controls, Peruvians with MCI or AD. Methods: A cross-sectional study of older adults attending a neurology institute in Lima (Peru) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), AD or cognitively healthy. Test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC; internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha) and validity were assessed. Results: We enrolled 276 individuals (AD: 113, MCI: 68, controls: 95) with no age, sex, educational level, and depressive symptom differences. Reliability was ideal (ICC: .996), and Cronbach’s alpha was adequate (.937). The ADCS-ADL could not differentiate MCI from controls but did differentiate AD severity. The ADCS-ADL correlated highly with nearly all tools. Conclusions: The ADCS-ADL scale is reliable in a population with AD in Lima, Peru. Future work may validate a tool for Peruvians with lower educational levels.
