The impact of altitude on infant health in South America
(Elsevier, 2017)
The Increase in Hemoglobin Concentration With Altitude Differs Between World Regions and Is Less in Children Than in Adults.
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2023)
To compensate for decreased oxygen partial pressure, high-altitude residents increase hemoglobin concentrations [Hb]. The elevation varies between world regions, posing problems in defining cutoff values for anemia or ...
Evaluating the Diagnostic Performance of Hemoglobin in the Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia in High-Altitude Populations: A Scoping Review.
(MDPI, 2023)
We evaluated the available literature on the diagnostic performance of hemoglobin (Hb) in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in high-altitude populations. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, ...
Hemoglobin Concentration in Children at Different Altitudes in Peru: Proposal for [Hb] Correction for Altitude to Diagnose Anemia and Polycythemia
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2018)
The present study was designed to define the hemoglobin [Hb] increase with altitude in Peruvian children. We suggest the normal range of [Hb] as means +/-2 standard deviations (SD), with a value less than - 2 SD as a ...
Touching the Sky: Coccinellids (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) at High Altitudes in South America
(Springer, 2019)
Records of extreme altitudes where several coccinellid species from South America inhabit the Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru are provided. After an intensive review of several entomological ...
Physiologically driven, altitude-adaptive model for the interpretation of pediatric oxygen saturation at altitudes above 2,000 m a.s.l.
(American Physiological Society, 2019)
Measuring peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) with pulse oximeters at the point of care is widely established. However, since SpO2 is dependent on ambient atmospheric pressure, the distribution of SpO2 values in populations ...
High altitude reduces infection rate of COVID-19 but not case-fatality rate
(ElsevierNL, 2020)
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is suggested that life at high altitude may reduce COVID infections and case-fatality rates ...
