Gonzales Guzmán A, Grau Carreño KB.

A field manual on the ethics of medical audit, written for Latin America: six blocks running from principle to case, six resolved dilemmas with commentary, and the Reasoned Exclusion Record (RER), a one-page form so that no decision on a health benefit is signed without leaving a trace of the evidence, the criterion and the reasons behind it.

Interrupted time-series analysis of 14,570 violence-related emergency visits at the José Casimiro Ulloa Emergency Hospital in Lima between 2015 and 2024, classified using the WHO typology. The study documents the abrupt fall in visits at the start of the pandemic and the later rebound, and shows that violence did not disappear during lockdown: it stopped reaching the emergency department.
