ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The Russia-Ukraine war has undeniably impacted global science and healthcare in Ukraine. Many Ukrainian researchers have had their projects disrupted by this war, either due to loss of life, displacement, or destruction of resources. Despite these challenges, these researchers have sought to make their voices heard. This scoping review highlights the trend of healthcare-related publications on the current Russia-Ukraine war and characterizes the contribution of Ukrainian authors to these publications. METHOD: A comprehensive literature search was performed using two databases (Scopus and Pubmed) for publications related to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. We included articles only related to healthcare. We then extracted and analyzed bibliometric data. RESULT: One hundred and eighty-three articles were identified, including 12 (6.6%) original articles, 26 (14.2%) cross-sectional studies, 19 (10.4%) letters to the editor, 10 (5.5%) commentaries, 5 (2.7%) perspectives, 35 (19.1%) editorials, 2 (1.1%) randomized controlled trials, 11(6.0%) correspondences, 13 (7.1%) opinions, 8 (4.4%) reviews and 42 (23.0%) are identified as others. 180 (98.4%) studies were in English, and 3 (1.7%) were in German. 54 (29.5%) papers on the war had at least one author affiliated with a Ukrainian institution, and 29 (15.9%) studies had authors with Ukrainian affiliation as first authors. CONCLUSION: our study shows that there has been a significant number of publications on the Russia-Ukraine war and only a small portion of first authors, co-authors, and last authors of these publications are affiliated to an institution in Ukraine. Therefore, despite the relatively high number of publications, most publications do not arise from the perspective of Ukrainian authors.

OBJETIVOS: Descrever os resultados alcançados em indicadores de desempenho hospitalar e na oferta de leitos com a estratégia de incorporação da Gestão da Clínica no processo assistencial da unidade de retaguarda do Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição. MÉTODOS: O estudo foi realizado na unidade de retaguarda do Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição, em Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. A unidade de retaguarda é um setor de internação de curta permanência (abaixo de 10 dias de internação) destinado a pacientes do setor de emergência do hospital. No período do estudo essa unidade possuía capacidade para 27 leitos. Foram adotadas como ferramentas da Gestão da Clínica a implantação de equipes de referência multiprofissionais e de rounds multidisciplinares, a instituição do sistema Kanban para monitoramento do tempo médio de permanência; a introdução do Projeto Terapêutico Singular por ocasião do ingresso do paciente no hospital (setor de emergência); e a regulação interna dos leitos pelo Núcleo Interno de Regulação. Os indicadores hospitalares número de internações, tempo médio de permanência, resolubilidade, taxa de mortalidade e índice de rotatividade foram comparados entre os anos 2015 (antes da implementação da estratégia Gestão da Clínica) e 2016 (após a implementação da estratégia). RESULTADOS: Após a introdução da Gestão da Clínica, houve aumento no número de internações de 1395 para 1537 ao ano. Ocorreram 1240 altas para o domicílio (média de 104 ao mês), mostrando um aumento de 101,9% em relação ao período anterior. Também foi observada diminuição no número de transferências internas (entre a unidade de retaguarda e outros setores do hospital), aumento no índice de rotatividade de 51,6 para 56,9, diminuição no tempo médio de permanência de 7,2 dias para 6,6 dias e diminuição na taxa de mortalidade de 3,5 para 0,7 (p<0.05). CONCLUSÕES: A implantação da Gestão da Clínica no contexto do trabalho assistencial na unidade dos leitos de retaguarda do hospital em estudo associou-se a melhorias nos processos de cuidado, proporcionando maior oferta de leitos aos usuários.
AIMS: To describe the results achieved in hospital performance indicators and supply of beds, with the strategy of incorporating clinical management into the care process of the backup unit of the Nossa Senhora da Conceição Hospital. METHODS: The study was carried out in the backup unit of the Nossa Senhora da Conceição Hospital, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The backup unit is an inpatient hospital with beds intended for hospital emergency patients characterized by short stay (less than 10 days of hospitalization) and in the study period it had 27 beds. As clinic management tools we implemented multidisciplinary reference teams and multidisciplinary rounds, established a Kanban system to monitor mean length of stay, and introduced the unique therapeutic project at the hospital entrance (emergency room) and management of beds by the Internal Regulation Center. We monitored the hospital indicators number of hospitalizations, mean length of stay, resolvability, mortality rate and turnover rate over a period of 12 months (2016, after implementation of the strategy) and made comparisons with the same period of the previous year. RESULTS: After the introduction of Clinic Management, there was an increase in the number of hospitalizations from 1395 to 1537/year. There were 1240 discharges to home (an average of 104 a month), showing an increase of 101.9% in relation to the previous period. There was also a decrease in the number of internal transfers (between the back unit and other sectors of the hospital), an increase in the turnover rate from 51.6 to 56.9, decrease in the mean stay time of 7.2 days to 6.6 days and a significant decrease in the mortality rate from 3.5 to 0.7 (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of clinical management in the context of care work in the hospital's backup bed unit fostered improvements in care processes, as well as ensuring greater supply of beds to users.
