INTRODUCCIÓN: En 2010 el Grupo Español de Estudio de SIDA (GeSIDA) desarrolló 66 indicadores de calidad asistencial. Nuestro objetivo es determinar cuáles de estos indicadores se asocian a mortalidad y/o ingreso, y realizar una evaluación preliminar de la utilidad de un índice predictor de mortalidad e ingreso. MÉTODOS: Estudio de cohortes retrospectivo realizado en el Hospital Universitario Son Espases. Los pacientes con infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana incluidos fueron aquellos que iniciaron seguimiento en consultas entre el 1 de enero de2000 y el 31 de diciembre de 2012. Se realizó análisis descriptivo de las variables demográficas y de los indicadores, y un estudio de regresión logística para valorar la asociación entre los indicadores y riesgo de mortalidad/ingreso. Se calcularon índices predictores de mortalidad e ingreso para pacientes en seguimiento y en tratamiento. RESULTADOS: Fueron incluidos 1.944 pacientes (media de edad: 37 años, el 78,8% varones). En el análisis multivariante relativo a mortalidad, los indicadores asociados en pacientes en seguimiento fueron el 7, 16 y 20 y en pacientes en tratamiento se añaden el 35 y 38. En el análisis multivariante relativo a ingreso, los indicadores asociados en pacientes en seguimiento fueron los mismos que para mortalidad, además del 31, y en el grupo de pacientes en tratamiento se asociaban los indicadores 7, 16, 20, 35, 38 y 40. CONCLUSIÓN: Se han identificado varios indicadores de calidad que pueden estar relacionados con ingreso hospitalario y mortalidad. Estos indicadores hacen referencia fundamentalmente al retraso diagnóstico, seguimiento regular, prevención de las infecciones y control de comorbilidades
INTRODUCTION: In 2010, the AIDS Study Group (Grupo de Estudio del SIDA [GESIDA]) developed 66 quality care indicators. The aim of this study is to determine which of these indicators are associated with mortality and hospital admission, and to perform a preliminary assessment of a prediction rule for mortality and hospital admission in patients on treatment and follow-up. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in the Hospital Universitario Son Espases (Palma de Mallorca, Spain). Eligible participants were patients with human immunodeficiency syndrome≥18 years old who began follow-up in the Infectious Disease Section between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2012. A descriptive analysis was performed to evaluate anthropometric variables, and a logistic regression analysis to assess the association between GESIDA indicators and mortality/admission. The mortality probability model was built using logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 1,944 adults were eligible (median age: 37 years old, 78.8% male). In the multivariate analysis, the quality of care indicators associated with mortality in the follow-up patient group were the items 7, 16 and 20, and in the group of patients on treatment were 7, 16, 20, 35, and 38. The quality of care indicators associated with hospital admissions in the follow-up patients group were the same as those in the mortality analysis, plus number 31. In the treatment group the associated quality of care indicators were items 7, 16, 20, 35, 38, and 40. CONCLUSIONS: Some GeSIDA quality of care indicators were associated with mortality and/or hospital admissions. These indicators are associated with delayed diagnosis, regular monitoring, prevention of infections, and control of comorbidities
