ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: La enfermedad tromboembólica venosa (ETV) es catalogada como la causa prevenible más frecuente de muerte hospitalaria y la tercer causa de morbilidad se ha calculado que en EEUU pueden existir 600,000 casos anuales. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo transversal con el objetivo de identificar pacientes con factores de riesgo para desarrollar ETV y no tienen profilaxis en servicios de medicina interna, ortopedia y cirugía del Hospital Roosevelt en agosto, 2016. Resultados: Se incluyeron 124 pacientes, 75/124 (60.4%) son de sexo masculino. El promedio de la edad fue de 44 años, rango de 14 ­ 87, 40/124 (32.2%) tenían indicación de reposo absoluto, 80/124 (64.5%) eran pacientes quirúrgicos, 16/124 (12.9%) tenían cáncer, 110/124 (88.7%) pacientes no recibieron profilaxis. Doce de 124 pacientes (9.6%) tenían al menos un factor de riesgo, 8/124 (6.4%) tenían 2 factores de riesgo, 16/124 (12.9%) tenían 3 factores de riesgo y 80/124 (64.5%) tenían 4 o más factores de riesgo. Conclusiones: Todos los pacientes encuestados poseen al menos un factor de riesgo para ETV, de los cuales 88.7% no recibe profilaxis...(AU)


Background: Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is listed as the most frequent preventable cause of hospital death and the third cause of morbidity has been estimated that in the US there may be 600,000 cases per year. Methodology: Cross-sectional descriptive study with the objective of identifying patients with risk factors to develop VTE and have no prophylaxis in services of internal medicine, orthopedics and surgery of the Roosevelt Hospital in August, 2016. Results: 124 patients were included, 75/124 ( 60.4%) are male. The average age was 44 years, range of 14 - 87, 40/124 (32.2%) had absolute rest indication, 80/124 (64.5%) were surgical patients, 16/124 (12.9%) had cancer, 110/124 (88.7%) patients did not receive prophylaxis . Twelve of 124 patients (9.6%) had at least one risk factor, 8/124 (6.4%) had 2 risk factors, 16/124 (12.9%) had 3 risk factors and 80/124 (64.5%) had 4 or more risk factors. Conclusions: All the patients surveyed have at least one risk factor for VTE, of which 88.7% do not receive prophylaxis ... (AU)
