RESUMEN
Resumen El daño asociado al cuidado de la salud es relevante y altamente prevenible. El Global Trigger Tool es la principal metodología en uso para su cuantificación. Los objetivos del trabajo fueron cuantificar mediante dicha herramienta el daño asociado al cuidado durante la internación, caracterizar los tipos de daño involucrados, identificar los factores asociados y describir la utilización de la información recabada. Se trata de un estudio longitudinal retrospectivo. Se detectaron 266 eventos adversos totales entre los dos hospitales 138 eventos en el Hospital A, y 128 eventos en el Hospital B. Esto es 61.3 eventos cada 1000 días paciente, y 62.5 eventos cada 1000 días paciente en A y B respectivamente, p = 0.3. En términos generales, construyendo una sola población de los dos hospitales, se hallaron 32 eventos adversos cada 100 admisiones, y 64.3 eventos cada 1000 días/pacientes. Los eventos estaban asociados en orden decreciente de frecuencia a medicación (45.5%), infecciones (32.4%), procedimientos sin infección (15.2%), tromboembolismo pulmonar (4.8%), úlceras por presión (1.4%), dispositivos (0.7%). Las variables asociadas fueron polimedicación y polimorbilidad. Los factores asociados a la aparición de eventos adversos fueron el sexo femenino (OR 2.1), la administración de medicamentos de alto riesgo (OR 2.3), la edad ≥ 80 años (OR 2.6) y el registro de ≥ 3 transferencias entre salas durante la internación (OR 2.9). Las tasas de daño observadas son comparables a las tasas evaluadas por el mismo método en estudios internacionales.
ABSTRACT
Abstract The damage associated with health care is relevant and highly preventable. The Global Trigger Tool is a leading methodology in use for its quantification. Our study aimed to quantify, through this tool, the damage associated with care during hospitalization, characterize the types of damage involved, identify the associated factors and describe the use of the information collected. We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study. A total of 266 adverse events were detected between the two hospitals 138 events in Hospital A, and 128 in Hospital B, the patient days analyzed in each hospital were 2089 and 2046 respectively. This is 61.3 events every 1000 patient days, and 62.5 events every 1000 patient days in A and B respectively, p = 0.3. In general terms, constructing a single population of the two hospitals, 32 adverse events were found every 100 admis sions, and 64.3 events every 1000 days / patients. The events were associated in decreasing order of frequency with medication (45.5%), infections (32.4%), procedures without infection (15.2%), pulmonary thromboembolism (4.8%), pressure ulcers (1.4%), devices (0.7%). The associated variables were polypharmacy and polymorbid ity. Factors associated with the occurrence of adverse events were female gender (OR 2.1), administration of high-risk medications (OR 2.3), age ≥ 80 years (OR 2.6), and registration of ≥ 3 transfers between wards during hospitalization (OR 2.9). The observed damage rates are comparable to the rates evaluated by the same method in international studies.
