A Gestão do Risco define-se como a cultura, processos e estruturas que sustentam a gestão efetiva de potenciais oportunidades e efeitos adversos, implicando a definição e a utilização de vários instrumentos que permitem a identificação e a avaliação dos riscos (gestão de risco proactiva) e a deteção e análise de incidentes (gestão de risco reativa). A premência de disponibilizar formação sobre Gestão do Risco e Segurança do Doente a todos os profissionais do Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central (CHLC), criou a necessidade de encontrar múltiplas estratégias que permitam alcançar este objetivo. Desta forma a Equipa de Gestão do Risco do CHCL estabeleceu um programa de formação sobre este tema de forma a dar resposta às necessidades de formação neste âmbito em todas as áreas profissionais. Este programa de formação é realizado nos moldes tradicionais de ensino/aprendizagem com obrigatoriedade presencial, constando-se a necessidade de promover outras estratégias de formação modernas que atinjam o máximo de profissionais possível. Uma destas estratégias passa pelo planeamento e organização de formação e-learning nesta área com a finalidade de potencializar um modelo de ensino/aprendizagem não presencial.

Tamoxifen is a first-line agent for adjuvant treatment of estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer, and is used to reduce the risk of this condition in high-risk individuals. Retrospective studies established an association between tamoxifen use, endometrial thickness and endometrial cancer. There have been many attempts to identify an effective screening program for tamoxifen-related endometrial cancer, which have led to the use of transvaginal ultrasound and invasive procedures. The use of a 5mm endometrial cut-off in vaginal ultrasound is known to raise the number of endometrial biopsies with no gain in early cancer diagnosis. A review of the scientific literature was performed in order to establish the best available evidence for endometrial evaluation of asymptomatic breast cancer patients on tamoxifen.

Objective:We aimed to identify the cut-off for risk of pre-eclampsia (PE) in Portuguese population by applying the first trimester prediction model from Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) in a prospective enrolled cohort of low risk pregnant women. Population and methods: A prospective cohort of low risk singleton pregnancies underwent routine first-trimester scree - ning from 2011 through 2013. Maternal characteristics, blood pressure, uterine artery Doppler, levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and free b-human chorionic gonadotropin were evaluated. The prediction of PE in first trimester was calculated through software Astraia, the outcome obtained from medical records and the cutoff value was subse quently calculated. Results:Of the 273 enrolled patients, 7 (2.6%) developed PE. In first trimester women who developed PE presented higher uterine arteries resistance, represented by higher values of lowest and mean uterine pulsatility index, p <0.005. There was no statistical significance among the remaining maternal characteristics, body mass index, blood pressure and PAPP-A. Using the FMF first trimester PE algorithm, an ideal cut-off of 0.045 (1/22) would correctly detect 71% women who developed PE for a 12% false positive rate and a likelihood ratio of 12.98 (area under the curve: 0.69; confidence interval 95%: 0.39-0.99). By applying the reported cutoff to our cohort, we would obtain 71.4% true positives, 88.3% true negatives, 11.4% false positives and 28.6% false negatives. Conclusion: By applying a first trimester PE prediction model to low risk pregnancies derived from a Portuguese population, a significant proportion of patients would have been predicted as high risk. New larger studies are required to confirm the present findings.
