IMPORTANCEOpioid prescriptions for treatment of pain in emergency departments (EDs) are associated with long-term opioid use. The temporal pattern of opioid prescribing in the context of the opioid epidemic remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To examine the temporal pattern of opioid prescribing within an ED for varying pain conditions between 2009 and 2018. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted at the ED of an urban academic medical center. All patients treated within that ED between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2018, were included.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESThe proportion of patients prescribed an opioid for treatment of pain in the ED temporally by condition, condition type, patient demographics, and physician prescriber.
used was Kosmo Desktop 3.0RC1 ® . Three thematic incidence rate maps were developed. Results Up to April 2, 2016, 9,825 cases of ZIKV were reported (15.15 % of the country cases). The burden of ZIKV infection has been concentrated in the North of the department. Valle del Cauca borders with other departments with incidence of ZIKV infection, such as Quindío (173 cases) and Risaralda (687 cases). Eleven municipalities of Valle del Cauca had cases in the range between 250 and 499 cases/100,000, all in the North and East of the department. Cali, the capital concentrates more than a third of the reported cases of ZIKV in Valle del Cauca. Conclusions Use of GIS-based epidemiological maps allows to guide decision-making for prevention and control of diseases that constitute significant public health problems in the region and the country, such as exemplified by the emergence of ZIKV infection, particularly in departments such as Valle del Cauca with a high disease incidence.
El Centro para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades de China reportó que de los 72,314 casos de COVID-19, sólo 2% se presentó en menores de 19 años, 1% en menores de 10 años y no se informaron muertes. La realidad en mayores de 19 años es distinta con una mortalidad de 2.3% siendo mayor en pacientes entre 70 años. 1
