Objetivo: Valorar el riesgo de caries dental en niños de 6 a 11 años de edad de la Unidad Educativa Jorge Escudero de la ciudad de Quito mediante el instrumento CAT. Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal realizado en 283 niños de 6 a 11 años de edad. Se evaluó el riesgo de caries mediante el instrumento validado CAT (Caries-risk Assessment Tool), el cual consta de 14 ítems, dividido en dos partes: un cuestionario dirigido a los padres de familia, complementándose con una exploración clínica oral al niño, previa estandarización de criterios con el fin de minimizar la variabilidad inter-examinador. Se realizó una prueba piloto en 20 personas adultas que no pertenezcan al tamaño de la muestra. Resultados: Se obtuvo un 98,2% de riesgo alto de caries y un 1,8% de riesgo moderado. No hubo diferencias significativas en la edad del niño donde (p=0,057) fue superior a 0,05, sin embargo en el sexo femenino frente al masculino hubo diferencia significativa de (p = 0,024). El nivel socioeconómico está directamente relacionado con el riesgo alto de caries, donde (p = 0,002). Conclusión: Se evidenció que los principales factores de riesgo de caries dental son la presencia de placa bacteriana visible y la presencia de zonas de esmalte desmineralizadas. Además existe una correlación pequeña o casi nula en lo que refiere a lo indicado por parte de los padres de familia en la encuesta y lo observado durante el examen clínico del niño con respecto al riego de caries.

Introduction: Ability of an individual to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) substance divides the population in tasters and non-tasters. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the taste ability for PTC substance with BMI percentile, skeletal maturity and dental caries experience within taster and non-taster children of age 8-12 years. Hypotheses: Tasting ability for PTC affects the BMI percentile, skeletal maturity and dental caries experience and emerge as a useful caries risk assessment tool. Evaluation of Hypotheses (Materials and Method):  One hundred children of 8-12 years were randomly selected and their taste perception was assessed using PTC sensitivity test. Radiovisiography (RVG) of middle phalanx was obtained to determine the skeletal maturity by using Rajgopal and Kansal modification 2005. Anthropometric measurements were recorded to obtain BMI value and then BMI percentile was calculated using CDC Pediatric growth charts. For dental caries assessment, deft/DMFT scores were recorded. Results: The non-tasters had early skeletal maturation, higher caries experience and higher BMI percentile than the tasters. Conclusion and Clinical Relevance: PTC Sensitivity is a genetically controlled trait showing strong association with dental caries. From the results of this study we can conclude that the genetic ability of tasting PTC affects the BMI percentile, skeletal maturity and dental caries experience. Thus it can emerge as a useful caries risk assessment tool helping in planning the preventive measures and interceptive orthodontics in children.

Fall Risk Assessment

Introduction: Falls may result in injuries, prolonged hospitalization, increase in morbidity and mortality, incur cost to the individual and the healthcare system and increase potential litigation. Various hospital fall prevention programs such as Morse Fall Scale Assessment Tool have been implemented in the last decade; however most of the program had no sustained effects on falls reduction over extended period of time. Benchmarking from private hospitals showed patients fall increased by 27% in 2008 as compared to 2007 (MPC report, 2008). There were 25 cases of falls in 2008 at KPJ Seremban Specialist Hospital. The objective of this program is to comply with The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals 9, “reduce the risk of patient harm resulting from falls” and to formulate evidence based best clinical practice recommendations on assessment and prevention of falls in the hospital for all inpatients, outpatients, customers and staffs within hospital premises. Materials and Methods: Contributing factors were identified based on the retrospective analysis of falls from 1st.January 2008 to 30th September 2008. A fall risk assessment tool identified as KPJ FRAT (KPJ Fall Risk Assessment Tool) for inpatient was developed and various other strategies to reduce the risk of falls throughout the hospital premises were identified. Points of engagement for inpatient assessment using KPJ FRAT were on admission, transfer in or when there is a change in patients’ condition. A prospective descriptive study was done and data was collected from 1st January 2009 till 31st December 2009 through interview with patients, healthcare providers and review of adverse event reports and medical records. Results: No of inpatients during this study were 37058 and there were 13 falls. The post implementation data reflects for every 1000 inpatient days the fall rate decreased to 4.3 falls. Conclusion: The use of KPJ FRAT and Fall Prevention program implemented throughout KPJ SSH has reduced the incidence of falls significantly by 48%. This might be due to increase awareness among the staff, hospital wide policy to report all cases and the formation of patient safety committee to formulate policy and reinforce the implementation processes. Limitation of the study include under reporting and heavy workload.
