ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Conocer la fiabilidad interobservador de los 4 índices de comorbilidad más utilizados en ancianos: índice de Charlson (ICh), Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics (CIRS-G), índice de Kaplan-Feinstein (IKF), e índice de coexistencia de enfermedad (ICED). Material y métodos. Cuatro médicos, previamente entrenados, revisaron de forma independiente 40 historias clínicas de pacientes mayores de 75 años, ingresados por patología médica aguda, realizando los 4 índices y cronometrando el tiempo. Se analizó el coeficiente de correlación intraclase (CCI) para los índices cuantitativos (ICh y CIRS-G) y el coeficiente Kappa para índices cualitativos (IKF e ICED), las concordancias <0,4 se consideraron deficientes; 0,4-0,75 aceptable, y >0,75 excelente. Resultados. Los pacientes de las historias evaluadas tenían una edad media de 85,93 (±5,35) años, siendo el 72,5% mujeres. El CCI global de los 4 evaluadores para el ICh fue 0,78 (IC del 95%:0,67-0,86) y para el CIRS-G (score):0,66 (IC del 95%:0,53-0,78). Los valores del coeficiente Kappa para el IKF oscilaron entre 0,51-0,76 y para el ICED entre 0,44-0,66. El tiempo de aplicación fue menor para el ICh (mediana de 39 segundos [30-45]) e IKF (42 segundos [35-52]) y mayor para el CIRS-G (score) (128 segundos [110-160]) e ICED (102 segundos [80-124]). Conclusiones. De los 4 índices valorados, el ICh y el índice CIRS-G (score), son los que presentan una mejor fiabilidad interobservador. El ICh y el IKF, presentan menor tiempo de aplicación(AU)


Objective. To report on the interrater reliability of four common comorbidity indexes used in the hospitalised elderly: Charlson Index (CI), Geriatric Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS-G), Index of Co-existent Disease (CoD) and Kaplan-Feinstein Index (KFI). Method. Four trained observers, independently reviewed the same 40 medical charts of hospitalised geriatric patients. Scores for the four indexes were calculated, along with the intraclass correlations coefficient (ICC) (quantitative index: CI and CIRS-G) and Kappa coefficient (qualitative index: CoD and KFI). The agreement <0.4 was considered deficient, 0-4-0.75 acceptable and >0.75 excellent. Results. A total of 40 patients (29 women) of 85.93 (±5.35) years were analysed. Intraclass correlations coefficient: CI: 0.78 (95% CI: 0.67-0.86); CIRS-G (score): 0.66 (95% CI: 0.53-0.78). Kappa coefficient: KFI: 0.51 to 0.76; CoD: 0.44-0.66. The application time was lower for the Charlson index (median of 39seconds [30-45]) and the KFI (42seconds [35-52]) and higher for CIRS-G (score) (128seconds [110-160]) and CoD (102seconds [80-124]). Conclusions. Of the four comorbidity indexes used in a hospitalised elderly population, the CI, and CIRS-G (score), are those that have better interrater reliability. The Charlson index and KFI show a lower application time than the CIRS-G (score)(AU)

METHOD: Four trained observers, independently reviewed the same 40 medical charts of hospitalised geriatric patients. Scores for the four indexes were calculated, along with the intraclass correlations coefficient (ICC) (quantitative index: CI and CIRS-G) and Kappa coefficient (qualitative index: CoD and KFI). The agreement <0.4 was considered deficient, 0-4-0.75 acceptable and >0.75 excellent. RESULTS: A total of 40 patients (29 women) of 85.93 (±5.35) years were analysed. Intraclass correlations coefficient: CI: 0.78 (95% CI: 0.67-0.86); CIRS-G (score): 0.66 (95% CI: 0.53-0.78). Kappa coefficient: KFI: 0.51 to 0.76; CoD: 0.44-0.66.

The Charlson index and KFI show a lower application time than the CIRS-G (score).

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: conocer las características clínicas, funcionales y mentales de nonagenarios que ingresan en una unidad de media estancia (UME) para tratamiento rehabilitador intrahospitalario y evaluar su respuesta al alta y 1 año después. Pacientes y método: estudio longitudinal observacional de nonagenarios ingresados consecutivamente durante un período de 16 meses en una UME. Al ingreso se recoge el motivo de incapacidad, situación funcional, mental, convivencia previa, comorbilidad y albúmina sérica. Se evalúa la ganancia funcional absoluta y relativa, y la tasa de institucionalización al alta. Doce meses después, se contacta telefónicamente con ellos y se analiza la mortalidad, la situación funcional y si hubo ingreso en residencia. Resultados: se estudió a 51 pacientes con una media de edad ± desviación estándar de 92,06 ± 2,42 años, el 75% mujeres. La ganancia funcional global al alta fue de 23,27 ± 14,06 en el Índice de Barthel (IB), con una ganancia funcional relativa del 45,4% de la pérdida al ingreso. Al año del alta, un 31% continuaba vivo, no institucionalizado y mantenia una ganancia funcional ≥ 20 puntos en el IB. Este porcentaje aumentaba al 59% en pacientes con mejor situación funcional previa (IB previo≥ 80) y ausencia de deterioro funcional o cognitivo severo al ingreso (IB ingreso > 20 y Pfeiffer > 5, respectivamente). Conclusiones: los pacientes nonagenarios con incapacidad reciente también se benefician del tratamiento en una UME, especialmente aquellos con mejor situación funcional y mental, cuyos resultados son más comparables con los de pacientes más jóvenes


Objective: to determine the clinical, functional and mental characteristics of nonagenarians admitted to a medium-stay geriatric unit for hospital-based rehabilitation and to review outcomes at discharge and 1 year later. Patients and method: we performed a longitudinal observational study of nonagenarians consecutively hospitalised in a medium-stay geriatric unit over a 16-month period. On admission, the variables collected were diagnoses, functional and cognitive status, household composition, comorbidity, and serum albumin. The global and relative functional gain and rate of institutionalization at discharge were also evaluated. After 12 months, the patients were telephoned to establish mortality, functional status, and new admissions. Results: the mean age of the 51 patients studied was 92.06 (SD 2.42) years and 75% were women. The mean functional gain at discharge was 23.27 (SD 14.06) in the Barthel Index (BI), with a relative functional gain of 45.4% from impairment at admission. At 1 year 31% of the patients were alive and living at home and showed a functional gain of ≥ 20 in the BI from admission. These outcomes increased to 59% in patients with better functional status before admission (previous BI ≥ 80) and absence of severe functional and cognitive impairment at admission (BI < 20 and Pfeiffer ≥ 5 at admission, respectively) . Conclusions: nonagenarians with recent onset of functional impairment also benefit from rehabilitation in a medium-stay geriatric unit; those with better functional and cognitive status can achieve results similar to those in younger patients
