ABSTRACT
Abstract

Introduction:

Congenital heart disease represents a public health issue worldwide.

Objective:

To know the number of patients with heart disease treated in two public hospitals of the State of Jalisco, as well as the mortality and resources available to participating hospitals for the care of these patients in the period from 2015 to 2018; the information was requested to the National Transparency Platform, and the database of pediatric cardiology services and pediatric cardiovascular surgery of the participating hospitals were also reviewed.

Results:

The second level hospital has human resources, but not the material to attend to these patients; so it is not possible to offer any type of palliative or corrective treatment. A total of 624 patients were evaluated, of which 92.2% corresponded to non-critical heart disease; overall mortality was 12% but in critical heart disease it was 79.5%. The third level hospital has human and material resources to care for these patients. During the study period, 289 operations were performed and the overall mortality was 20.4%.

Conclusion:

Congenital heart disease in the State of Jalisco is an important cause of mortality, with a high incidence and a very limited resolution capacity since the health services in the State of Jalisco for the care of these patients are insufficient and inadequate. It is essential to strengthen the health system for the care for these patients.
RESUMEN
Resumen

Introducción:

Las cardiopatías congénitas representan un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial.

Objetivo:

Conocer la cantidad de pacientes cardiópatas atendidos en dos hospitales públicos del estado de Jalisco, así como la mortalidad y los recursos con que cuentan los hospitales participantes para la atención de estos pacientes en el período del 2015 al 2018. Se solicitó la información a la Plataforma Nacional de Transparencia y además se revisaron las bases de datos de los servicios de cardiología pediátrica y cirugía cardiovascular pediátrica de los hospitales participantes.

Resultados:

El hospital de segundo nivel cuenta con los recursos humanos, pero no con el material para atender a estos pacientes, por lo que no es posible ofrecer ningún tipo de tratamiento paliativo o correctivo (sólo se cierran algunos conductos arteriosos en la etapa neonatal). Se valoró a un total de 624 pacientes, de los cuales el 92.2% correspondió a cardiopatías no críticas; la mortalidad global fue del 12% pero en las cardiopatías críticas fue del 79.5%. El hospital de tercer nivel cuenta con recursos humanos y material para atender a estos pacientes; en el período de estudio se realizaron 289 operaciones y la mortalidad global fue del 20.4%.

Conclusión:

Las cardiopatías congénitas en el estado de Jalisco son una causa importante de mortalidad, con una incidencia elevada y una capacidad de resolución sumamente limitada, ya que los servicios de salud de Jalisco para la atención de estos pacientes son insuficientes e inadecuados. Es esencial fortalecer el sistema de salud para atender a estos pacientes.
