    (Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2016-12) Hernández Vásquez, Akram ; Azañedo, Diego ; Bendezú Quispe, Guido ; Pacheco Mendoza, Josmel ; Chaparro, R. Martín
    El objetivo del estudio fue explorar geoespacialmente los patrones de ocurrencia de atropellos en el Cercado de Lima, Perú. Se describieron y georreferenciaron los atropellos registrados en el Censo Nacional de Comisarías 2015 del Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática. Posteriormente, se realizó un análisis Kernel Density para localizar áreas con alta, mediana y baja densidad de eventos. Se estudiaron 171 registros de atropellos, los tipos de vehículo involucrados fueron automóvil (56,7%) y vehículos menores (22,8%). El mayor porcentaje de atropellos (38,6%) ocurrió entre las 12.00-17.00 horas. Se encontraron dos zonas de alta densidad y dos de densidad intermedia para atropellos, coincidiendo con ubicaciones reportadas previamente como críticas por sus deficiencias y mayor probabilidad de accidentes de tránsito. El empleo de sistemas de información geográfica ofrece una visión rápida y general de los patrones de ocurrencia de atropellos, permitiendo realizar comparaciones y facilitaría la implementación de respuestas a nivel local.

    (BioMed Central Ltd., 2019-03) Hernández Vásquez, Akram ; Bendezú Quispe, Guido ; Azañedo, Diego ; Santero, Marilina
    Background: Oral health inequalities are profound worldwide. Despite major improvements in oral health, inequalities exist for many racial and ethnic groups, by socioeconomic status, gender, age, and geographic location. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate trends of socio-economic inequalities in access to oral health services in Peru before and after the implementation of Universal Health Assurance (AUS). Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study based on the National Household Survey on Living Conditions and Poverty (ENAHO) 2004, 2008, 2010 and 2017. Two periods were defined before and after the AUS Law (2009). Use of oral health services was the dependent variable, for the general population and according to ages, the area of residence, and natural region. Measurements of inequality in the use of health services were made based on the concentration curves (CC), dominance test and concentration index (CI). Results: We included a number of 85,436 (2004), 88,673 (2008), 87,074 (2010) and 124,142 (2017) participants. The proportion of people who used oral health services was 8.4% (2014), 10.1% (2008), 10.6% (2010) and 10.4% (2017). Use of oral health services showed an increase in different age groups, urban and rural areas, and natural regions of residence during the study period. The CC were distributed below the line of equality, indicating an inequality of use of oral health services, in favor of the richest groups and dominance of the CC in 2017 over the previous years. Changes in the CI were statistically significant for < 5 years and in the rural area, and for the period 2010-2017 they were also significant in the general population, children aged 5-17 years, urban area, and Andean and Jungle regions, which indicates a reduction in the concentration of use of these services in these groups.
