    Background: Modern medical training must integrate not only clinical skills but also ethical and humanistic competencies. In 2013, a structured program in bioethics and humanism was implemented as part of a nephrology residency curriculum. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of a 3-year humanism and bioethics program for nephrology residents that focused on improving clinical communication, reducing complaint and lawsuit numbers, increasing patient satisfaction, and supporting decision-making centered on quality of life. Methods: A longitudinal, ambispective cohort (2010–19), our 3-year curriculum delivered weekly 1-h sessions for 6 months/year to 45 residents and was facilitated by three faculty instructors across six core themes. To relate outcomes to the intervention, analyses were anchored to the 2013 launch and compared pre-program (2010–13) versus post-program (2014–19) rates of formal complaints, legal claims, patient satisfaction and maximum benefit discharges. Results: Formal complaints decreased from 47.8 to 26.0 per year [incidence rate ratio (IRR) 0.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44–0.67; P < .001; Holm <0.001]. Legal claims were reduced from 4.25 to 0.17 per year (IRR 0.039, 95% CI 0.005–0.295; P = .0016; Holm = 0.0016). Maximum benefit discharges increased from 4.25 to 76.5 per year (IRR 18.0, 95% CI 11.09–29.21; P < .001; Holm <0.001). For satisfaction, the ordinal logistic model showed an odds ratio (OR) of 3.53 (95% CI 1.96–6.38; P < .001; Holm = 0.0001), consistent with the dichotomous sensitivity analysis (≥4 vs ≤3) (OR 4.08, 95% CI 2.16–7.71; P < .000). Conclusions: The humanism and bioethics program was proven to be an effective and transformative educational tool that promoted ethical, empathetic and patient-centered nephrology practices. The positive impact of this program was evident in both clinical indicators and strengthened medical professionalism. ©The authors ©Oxford University Press (OUP) © Clinical Kidney Journal.

    Objetivos: Conocer los criterios médicos y su prioridad en la asignación de riñones de paciente fallecido en Pediatría, entre los integrantes de los Comités Internos de Trasplantes de seis hospitales. Valorar si con el método Delphi es posible construir consensos para mejorar la heterogeneidad de criterios en la asignación de órganos para trasplante renal entre los médicos adscritos a los servicios de Nefrología y Cirugía en seis centros hospitalarios de México. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio con el método de expertos Delphi con tres fases y dos circulaciones para identificar comportamientos y tendencias con la sinergia del debate en un grupo. Se aplicó el índice de Kappa para evaluar concordancia de los resultados. Resultados: Los resultados de la primera circulación muestran la heterogeneidad de criterios para la asignación de órganos de donador fallecido dentro de cada hospital y de los seis hospitales comparados entre si. Con los resultados de la segunda circulación en cuatro hospitales aumentó el consenso para la elección tanto del primer como del segundo receptor. El cociente de Kappa muestra la habilidad de los resultados. Conclusión: Vemos necesario desarrollar un sistema de puntaje para la asignación de órganos de donador fallecido en México, en el que será conveniente incluir el HLA. El método Delphi permite conocer la prioridad de los criterios médicos para la asignación de riñones de donador fallecido, y ayuda a construir consensos que permitan a los Comités Internos de Trasplantes de México minimizar la subjetividad del personal involucrado en la asignación de órganos.

    Propuesta de un modelo de análisis del maltrato en la relación médico-paciente
    (Sociedad Mexicana de Oncología, 2015)
    Bautista-Rodríguez, Humberto
    ;
    A model of analysis of the concept of “abuse”, filed as a complaint against health care personnel, is proposed. This model attempts to examine the abuse that takes place in the Physician-Patient relationship setting under the light of non-Civil Code binding Declarations, Codes and Articles that are not being respected due to a growing problem of abuse developing among health care personnel. The proposal aims to support medical units, and especially their Hospital Bioethics Committees, in order to make them aware of rights that are not being respected with regard to these complaints resulting from medical actions. © 2015, Sociedad Mexicana de Oncología

    Health care transition (HCT) is a process that requires preparation as a continuum from pediatric- to adult-focused services. For adolescents and young adults with chronic or ESRD, this process can be prolonged due to their physical, psychological, family, or ecological factors. HCT preparation is a matter of patient safety and patient rights as the consequences of poor preparation at the time of transfer to adult-focused services are great, including rejection of organs, disease relapse, or even death. We present a case to illustrate important points of HCT preparation, with suggestions for intervention by the interdisciplinary team members who serve (and will serve) these survivors of pediatric-onset health conditions. To monitor the HCT process, yearly measurements of skill mastery need to take place guide interventions.

    Objective: Protein energy wasting affects the nutritional status (NS) and physical function (PF) of dialysis patients. Among the different anabolic strategies to improve NS and PF, oral nutritional supplementation (ONS) and resistance exercise (RE) or aerobic exercise (AE) have been shown to be effective. Nevertheless, the combination of both anabolic strategies has not been completely evaluated. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of exercise combined with ONS versus ONS without exercise during hemodialysis sessions on PF and NS indicators. Methods: Young hemodialysis patients (29 ± 9.3 years) with predominantly unknown causes of renal disease (80%) were divided into the following 3 groups during a period of 12 weeks: (1) ONS (n = 15), (2) ONS + RE (n = 15), and (3) ONS + AE (n = 15). Anthropometric, biochemical, PF, and quality of life measurements were recorded at baseline and after 3 months. Repeated measures analysis of variance and effect sizes (Cohen's d) were used to assess the effect of exercise and nutrition (ISRCTN registry 10251828).

    En la práctica médica pediátrica es frecuente encontrar a pacientes en circunstancias que representan un dilema ético para los profesionales de la salud. Un dilema corresponde a una situación en la que los preceptos morales o las obligaciones de similar obligatoriedad ética se encuentran en conflicto, de forma que cualquier solución posible al dilema es moralmente intolerable. Una revisión de la literatura permitió identificar diferentes modelos que abordan esta clase de dilemas. Se localizaron artículos utilizando las bases de datos Ebsco Host, ProQuest, Ovid e InMex, así como metabuscadores como metacrawler. Algunos de los modelos analizados fueron los siguientes: el Modelo de Anne Davis, el Método de Nijmegen, el Método de Diego Gracia, el Método Integral, el Modelo del Centro de Ética Médica de Bochum, el Modelo de Brody y Payton, el Modelo de Curtin y Flaherty, el Modelo de Thompson y Thompson, la Fórmula SAD, el Modelo de Javier Morata, el Modelo de Elaine Congress, el Modelo IFSW, el Modelo de Loewenberg y Dolgoff, el Modelo de la Ley Social, el Método DOER, el Modelo de Brommer, el Modelo de Corey y Callanan, el Modelo de Pope y Vasquez, el Modelo de Bush, Connell y Denney, el Modelo de Ferrell, Gresham y Fraedrich y el Modelo de Hunt y Vitell. Los criterios compartidos entre los diferentes modelos fueron los siguientes: a) la especificación del dilema ético; b) la descripción de los hechos a considerar; c) la definición de valores, principios y la postura ética que será tomada en consideración; y d) la toma de decisiones con la identificación de alternativas de solución. De acuerdo con la literatura revisada, se explican algunos modelos con el fin de identificar y ejemplificar elementos críticos que pudieran ser utilizados de manera práctica por los Comités de Ética Clínica u Hospitalaria en las instituciones de salud pediátrica en México.

    Background: Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is common in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Studies have assessed the positive effect of oral nutritional supplementation (ONS) or resistance exercise (RE) on nutritional status (NS) markers in patients undergoing HD. Methods: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of ONS and RE on NS and the quality of life (QOL) of 36 patients undergoing HD. In a randomized clinical trial, patients were divided into the following two groups: a control group (ONS) that received a can of ONS during their HD sessions and an intervention group (ONS + RE) that received a can of ONS and underwent a 40-min session of RE during their HD sessions. Both interventions lasted 12 weeks. The patients' anthropometric, biochemical, dietetic and bioelectrical impedance measurements as well as their QOL, evaluated using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form, were recorded.

    Background. Chronic renal disease (CRD) is a disease with a strong impact on the childhood Mexican population with short-range limiting and serious consequences. Poverty and a social environment devoid of social justice hinder timely medical attention and long-range rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to determine the differences regarding sociodemographic features in patients under treatment at Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez, with a 6-year difference: patients diagnosed in 2003 as compared to those diagnosed in 2009. Methods. A retrospective comparative study was carried out with end-stage chronic renal disease (ESRD) patients with information obtained from the clinical files. Data were obtained on age, gender, renal insufficiency etiology, socioeconomic level, type of financing, place of origin, and whether patient entered a rehabilitation program (dialysis or transplant).

    Aspectos bioéticos ante la selección de residentes conforme al perfil de personalidad para subespecialidad oncológica
    (2016)
    Bautista Rodríguez, Humberto
    ;
    Se plantea un análisis bioético sobre una propuesta futura de carácter preventivo generada por una creciente problemática que se ha desarrollado en la unidad médica, correspondiendo esta situación a la interacción del personal que en ella labora, el cual se encuentra en contacto directo con las necesidades médicas y psicológicas del paciente y familiar oncológico, refiriéndose así al actuar médico que afecta a la relación del binomio médico-paciente. El planteamiento se hace para analizar y determinar cuáles podrían ser las repercusiones bioéticas al realizar la selección del personal médico residente, tomando en consideración su perfil de personalidad base y no solamente su perfil académico, porque al conocer el perfil de personalidad de cada médico residente se podrá determinar y pronosticar cómo será su actuar frente al paciente crónico. © 2016 Sociedad Mexicana de Oncología.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the approach to the health-disease system, raising the question about the principles of bioethics present in physician–patient relations. The principles while widely accepted may not be sufficient for a comprehensive ethical analysis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the perception of these principles and the physician–patient relationship during a hospital stay through a qualitative approach. Method: Sixteen semi-structured interviews took place to know the patients’ perception during their 2020 hospitalization for COVID-19. The data was analyzed through the constant comparison method, creating categories and comparing them. In the end, seven categories were established and were grouped in three: bioethical principles (dignity, charity, vulnerability, autonomy), doctor-patient relationship (participant commitment, informed consent, health staff-patient relationship) and the experience of the disease (illness, the role of the family). Results: The research found that most patients described a positive experience, with the feeling of having been well cared for with no sense of discrimination or injustice done. The majority also reported that their autonomy was respected in the treatment decisions. The evaluation of these attitudes is an area of opportunity, especially when the patients' vulnerability is at risk. Conclusions: The ethics of virtue offers a better reflection of how human beings manifest themselves by emphasizing the development of virtuous character and behaviors that allow them to realize their values in life.
