ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To study the behavioural differences between scheduled and emergency admissions in the processes most prevalent in Spanish hospitals and their relationship with the age of patients, comparing 2002 and 2007. METHODS: Observational and descriptive design for those years. Diagnostic related groups (DRGs) were classified into high prevalence (the 25 most frequent) and the rest; four subgroups were prepared according to this (high or low) and admission (elective or not). Mean length of stay was analyzed, together with relative weight, number of diagnoses and procedures and mortality by age, using the Student and/or ANOVA tests for quantitative variables and Pearson's chi(2) qualitative comparison of means and proportions for tabular data, assuming statistical significance at p <0.05. RESULTS: The high prevalence and emergency admission subgroup has higher age, ratio of males, mean length of stay, mortality, number of diagnoses and procedures (all p <0.0001), in both 2002 and 2007. The complexity and resource consumption measured by such variables peaks in the 65-69 and 70-74 cohorts respectively, with emergency admission. CONCLUSIONS: There are clear differences between the processes according to their prevalence and accessibility; priority must be given to knowledge and information on the most frequent and urgent admissions to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and quality.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos. Estudiar las diferencias de comportamientoentre ingresos urgentes y programados en los procesosmás prevalentes y el resto en la casuística hospitalariaespañola y su relación con la edad de los pacientes,comparando los años 2002 y 2007.Métodos. Diseño observacional y descriptivo duranteesos años. Se clasifican los grupos relacionados de diagnóstico(GRD) en alta prevalencia (25 más frecuentes)y resto, se confeccionan cuatro subgrupos según ésta(alta o baja) e ingreso (electivo o no). Se analiza estanciamedia, peso relativo, número de diagnósticos y procedimientosy mortalidad en función de la edad, por mediodel test de Student y/o ANOVA, según proceda, para variablescuantitativas y el de χ2 de Pearson para cualitativas,comparando ambas según análisis de datos ya tabulados.Se asume significación estadística para p<0,05.Resultados. El subgrupo de alta prevalencia e ingresourgente presenta mayor edad, proporción de varones,estancia media, mortalidad, número de diagnósticosy procedimientos (todo con p<0,0001), tanto en 2002como en 2007. La gravedad, complejidad y consumode recursos –medidos con esas variables– alcanza sumáximo en las cohortes de 65-69 y 70-74 años, respectivamente,con ingreso urgente.Conclusiones. Existen claras diferencias entre los procesos,según su prevalencia y acceso, y debe priorizarseel conocimiento y la información de los más frecuentesy urgentes para mejorar la efectividad, la eficienciay la calidad(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Analizar las diferencias de comportamiento entre los ingresos urgentes (IU) y los programados (IP) de los procesos más habituales en la casuística hospitalaria española y su relación con la edad de los pacientes. Métodos: Diseño observacional, descriptivo, transversal, en hospitales públicos de agudos de toda España durante el año 2002. Los grupos relacionados de diagnóstico (GRD) se agruparon en alta prevalencia (los 25 más frecuentes, GRD-AP) y el resto (GRD-resto). Se comparan la estancia media hospitalaria, el peso de los GRD, el número de diagnósticos secundarios, el de procedimientos y la mortalidad en función del tipo de ingreso (IU o IP), el subconjunto de GRD (GRD-AP o resto) y la edad. Resultados: Los GRD-AP concentran el 33,5% de la casuística. Con respecto a los IP, los IU se caracterizan por una edad superior (p<0,001), tener una mayor proporción de varones, tener unos GRD con mayor peso y generar una estancia media hospitalaria (p<0,001), un número de diagnósticos secundarios (p<0,001) y un número de procedimientos (p<0,001) superiores. La gravedad, complejidad, consumo y gasto en los IU del subconjunto GRD-resto alcanza el máximo entre los 65-69 años para disminuir posteriormente con la edad, mientras que estos parámetros aumentan uniformemente con ella en los GRD-AP. Conclusiones: Estos datos muestran la potencial relevancia del papel gestor de los profesionales de las áreas de urgencias, y la necesidad de programas alternativos a la hospitalización convencional en los procesos más frecuentes que motivan IU, cuya concentración debería facilitar la gestión clínica y económica (AU)


Aims: To analyse the management behaviour differences between urgent and elective admissions (respectively, UA and EA) in the most frequent conditions in the Spanish hospital practise and their relation to the patients’ age. Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study carried out in public acute-patient hospitals throughout Spain in the year 2002. the Diagnosis-Related Groups were further subgrouped as “high-prevalence” (HP-DRG, the 25 most frequent ones) and “remaining” (remaining-DRG). The parameters compared were mean duration of hospital admission, DRG weight, number of secondary diagnoses, number of procedures and mortality, as related to the type of admission (UA, EA), the DRG subgroup (HP-DRG or remaining- DRG) and the patients’ age. Results: HP-DRG cases encompass 33.5% of the case population. As compared to EA’s, UA’s are characterised by older age (p<0.001), a higher proportion of males, higher-weighted DRG’s, and generating a longer mean duration of admission, a greater number of secondary diagnoses and a greater number of procedures (p<0.001 in all three cases). The severity, complexity, resource consumption and expense of UA’s in the “remaining-DRG” subgroup reach their maximum in the 65-69-year age group and then decrease, while all three parameters increase uniformly with age among the HP-DRG. Conclusions: These data highlight the potential relevance of the management role of health care professional in the emergency areas and the need for alternatives to conventional hospital admission for the more frequent conditions causing UA’s, the grouping whereof should facilitate their clinical and economic management (AU)

ABSTRACT

La neoplasia primaria múltiple de pulmón es una forma de presentación poco común entre las neoformaciones pulmonares. Acontece entre el 1,5 y el 3 per cent del total de las neoplasias de pulmón. Los criterios que la definen fueron establecidos en 1975 por Martini y Melamed, y aún son la referencia. La neoplasia primaria múltiple pulmonar puede manifestarse de forma sincrónica (aparición simultánea) o metacrónica (diferencia de aparición de más de 2 años entre ambos tumores). Se da una mayor incidencia en grandes fumadores y desde el punto de vista anatomopatológico suele tratarse de uncarcinoma epidermoide. Se considera que la supervivencia de este tipo de neoplasia pulmonar es menor que la de presentación única (AU)

ABSTRACT

Septic thrombophlebitis of internal jugular vein following oropharyngeal infections, referred to as postanginal sepsis, was first described at the beginning of the century by Lemièrre. For diagnostic of Lemièrre's syndrome, distant metastatic abscesses from septic embolization are required. These are placed most frequently in the lungs, but also occurred in soft tissues. Two cases of this unusual syndrome seen in a year period, are reported in this brief communication. We described the first liver metastatic infection, in the syndrome. Successful result was observed when we use a low molecular weight heparin as treatment in the septic thrombophlebitis of internal jugular vein.

ABSTRACT

La tromboflebitis séptica de la vena yugular interna como complicación de las infecciones orofaríngeas, tras un cuadro de sepsis postangina, fue descrita por primera vez a principios de siglo por Lemièrre. Para el diagnóstico de este síndrome, se requiere la existencia de abscesos metastásicos a distancia. Estos se localizan más frecuentemente a nivel pulmonar, pero también se han descrito en tejidos blandos. En este trabajo presentamos dos nuevos casos de este infrecuente síndrome, observados en el período de un año. En nuestro conocimiento, no han sido descritos anteriormente abscesos metastásicos hepáticos en este cuadro, que observamos en uno de nuestros pacientes. También aportamos nuestra experiencia en el tratamiento con heparina de bajo peso molecular de la tromboflebitis venosa yugular, que forma parte de este síndrome (AU)
