ABSTRACT

Objetivo: De acuerdo con la evidencia disponible sobre soporte nutricional parenteral (SNP) en pacientes oncológicos, el tratamiento en los últimos días de vida debe basarse en el confort, y el SNP no aporta beneficios ni está exento de riesgos. El objetivo del estudio es analizar el uso del SNP en pacientes oncológicos durante la última semana de vida. Metodología: Estudio observacional retrospectivo. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes oncológicos que recibieron SNP en un servicio de salud con 350.000 habitantes entre 2016-2021. Se seleccionaron aquellos que habían recibido SNP en la última semana de vida. Se registraron las variables demográficas: edad, sexo, peso, talla; variables clínicas: diagnóstico, estado funcional; variables relacionadas con el SNP: duración, acceso venoso, días desde la retirada hasta el exitus. Resultados: 287 pacientes con cáncer recibieron SNP. 75 pacientes (26%) mantuvieron SNP en la última semana de vida, mediana de edad de 69 años (60-75). Diagnósticos más frecuentes: cáncer de colon (29,3%) y de pulmón (20%). Mediana de duración de 8,1 días (2-9). De los pacientes con SNP en la última semana de vida, el 28% lo recibieron hasta el día del exitus. Conclusión: Más de la cuarta parte de los pacientes oncológicos que recibieron SNP lo mantuvieron hasta la última semana de vida. El objetivo en estos pacientes no debe ser tratar de corregir la desnutrición sino controlar los síntomas y mejorar la calidad de vida. Se deben evitar enfoques intervencionistas como el SNP, que pueden prolongar el sufrimiento y aumentar los costes asociados innecesarios. (AU)


Objetive: According to the available evidence on parenteral nutritional support (PNS) in cancer patients, treatment in the last days of life should be based on comfort, and the PNS does not provide benefits or is free of risks. The objective of the study is to analyze the use of the SNP in cancer patients during the last week of life. Methodology: Retrospective observational study. All cancer patients who received PNS in a health service with 350,000 inhabitants between 2016-2021 are included. Those who had received PNS in the last week of life were selected. Demographic variables recorded: age, sex, weight, height; clinical variables: diagnosis, functional status; PNS-related variables: duration, venous access, days from removal to death. Results: 287 cancer patients received PNS. 75 patients (26%) maintained PNS in the last week of life, median age 69 years (60-75). Most frequent diagnoses: colon cancer (29.3%) and lung cancer (20%). Median duration of 8.1 days (2-9). Of the patients with SNP in the last week of life, 28% received it until the day of death. Conclusion: More than a quarter of cancer patients who received PNS maintained it until the last week of life. The goal in these patients should not be to try to correct malnutrition but to control symptoms and improve quality of life. Interventional approaches such as PNS, which can prolong suffering and increase the necessary associated costs, should be avoided. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad, la seguridad y la satisfacción del tratamiento con colirio de PRGF-Endoret en pacientes con ojo seco patológico, así como los costes de adquisición, elaboración y dispensación en comparación con suero autólogo. Metodología: Estudio observacional retrospectivo. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes para los que se prescribió PRGF-Endoret entre febrero de 2019 y enero de 2020, para el tratamiento de varios trastornos con sequedad ocular como síntoma. Los datos demográficos y clínicos se obtuvieron del historial médico electrónico (Orion Clinic). Además, se realizó una encuesta anónima evaluando la frecuencia de varios síntomas, la efectividad, seguridad y satisfacción con el tratamiento. Resultados: Se estudiaron 24 pacientes. Un 62,5% eran mujeres, con una mediana de edad de 64 años. Un 79% habían sido diagnosticados de queratitis y/o úlcera corneal. En el 75% de los casos la evolución clínica fue favorable a los tres meses. El 100% de los pacientes estaban satisfechos. En cuanto a los síntomas, el 100% percibieron una mejoría en la sequedad ocular, el 80% en la molestia a la luz y el 60% en el dolor. El 50% de los pacientes había recibido previamente suero autólogo, de los cuales el 82% tuvo una evolución favorable con el cambio de tratamiento. Conclusión: PRGF-Endoret mejoró los síntomas del ojo seco en el grupo de pacientes tratado, siendo efectivo y seguro y proporcionando alta satisfacción. Los costes directos sanitarios son mayores que con la alternativa de suero autólogo, pero son necesarios nuevos estudios que evalúen los costes indirectos evitados y la calidad de vida proporcionada. (AU)


Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and costs of acquisition, preparation and dispensing of PRGF-Endoret eye drops, as well as patient satisfaction in patients with pathological dry eye. Methodology: Retrospective observational study. All patients for whom PRGF-Endoret were prescribed between February 2019 and January 2020 for the treatment of various disorders with ocular sequence as a symptom were included. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from the electronic medical record (Orion Clinic). In addition, an anonymous survey was carried out evaluating the frequency of various symptoms, the difficulty, safety and satisfaction with the treatment. Results: 24 patients were studied. 62.5% were women, with a median age of 64 years. 79% had been diagnosed with keratitis and/or corneal ulcer. In 75% of the cases, the clinical evolution was favourable after three months. 100% of the patients were satisfied. Regarding symptoms, 100% perceived an improvement in dry eyes, 80% in light discomfort and 60% in pain. 50% of the patients had previously received autologous serum, of which 82% had a favourable evolution with the change of treatment. Conclusion: PRGF-Endoret improved dry eye symptoms in our patients being effective and safe, with high satisfaction from the patients. Although evaluating direct healthcare costs is more expensive than the autologous serum alternative, quality of life and indirect costs should be considered. (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El uso combinado de bevacizumab y alteplasa intrarretiniano supone una alternativa de tratamiento de las hemorragias maculares que adquiere cada vez más relevancia. Además, su utilización en una única jeringa evita una inyección intrarretiniana reduciendo los posibles riesgos que conllevan. OBJETIVO: Confirmar la efectividad y seguridad de la combinación de bevacizumab y alteplasa in vivo para el tratamiento de hemorragias submaculares en pacientes con degeneración macular asociada a la edad y determinar si supone una alternativa de tratamiento válida. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio retrospectivo observacional de pacientes tratados con bevacizumab y alteplasa para hemorragias submaculares desde febrero de 2017 a febrero de 2018. Se revisó la situación clínica pre-intervención y a los 3 meses. Las variables revisadas para determinar la efectividad del tratamiento fueron el tamaño de la superficie de la hemorragia, el grosor retiniano y la agudeza visual. La seguridad se evaluó con la aparición de reacciones adversas. RESULTADOS: Fueron incluidos cinco pacientes, cuatro con un ojo afectado y uno con ambos, 60% hombres, con una mediana de edad de 78 años (68-89). Objetivamente se redujo el porcentaje de ocupación de la hemorragia de una media del 70% al 6% tras la intervención. El grosor retiniano disminuyó de 1.531 micras (1.891-1.195) a 516,8 micras (324-667). La agudeza visual mejoró en dos pacientes manteniéndose en el resto. Todos los pacientes refirieron subjetivamente mejoría tras la intervención. El tratamiento fue seguro por la ausencia de aparición de reacciones adversas. CONCLUSIONES: El tratamiento estudiado ha demostrado ser efectivo y seguro clínicamente


INTRODUCTION: The combined use of bevacizumab and intraretinal alteplase is an alternative treatment for macular hemorrhage that is becoming more and more relevant. In addition, its use in a single syringe prevents an intraretinal injection reducing the possible risks involved. OBJECTIVE: To confirm the effectiveness and safety of the combination of bevacizumab and alteplase in vivo for submacular hemorrhage in patients with macular degeneration associated with age and to determine whether it is a valid treatment alternative. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Observational retrospective study of patients treated with bevacizumab and alteplase for submacular hemorrhages from February 2017 to February 2018. The clinical situation was reviewed pre-intervention and at 3 months later. The variables reviewed to determine the effectiveness of the treatment were the size of the hemorrhage surface, the retinal thickness and the visual acuity. Safety was determined with the appearance of adverse reactions. RESULTS: Six eyes of five patients were included, 60% men, with a median age of 78 years (68-89). Objectively the percentage of occupation of the hemorrhage was reduced from an average of 70% to 6% after the intervention. The retinal thickness decreased from 1,531 microns (1,891-1,195) to 516.8 microns (324-667). Visual acuity improved in two patients and remained in the rest. All patients reported subjectively improvement after the intervention. The treatment was safe due to the absence of adverse reactions. CONCLUSIONS: The reviewed treatment has shown to be clinically effective and safe

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Evaluar las actuaciones nutricionales en pacientes con diagnóstico de neumonía COVID-19 en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) y su ajuste a las guías de las sociedades Europea y Americana de Nutrición Clínica. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio retrospectivo observacional de 2 meses de duración en pacientes con diagnóstico de neumonía COVID-19 con ingreso en UCI. Se utilizaron los programas ICCA(R), OrionClinic(R) y Kabisoft(R) para obtener las variables de los pacientes. RESULTADOS: Ingresaron 27 pacientes, de los cuales 20 precisaron soporte nutricional. Un 65% eran hombres y la media de edad fue 62 ± 13,2 años. Los requerimientos energéticos teóricos fueron entre 1.535-1.800 Kcal/día. Permanecieron 2,5 ± 4,5 días en planta previo a su estancia en UCI, que fue de 17 ± 6,9 días. Al término del estudio, el 15% de pacientes fueron alta, el 35% seguían hospitalizados y el 50% fueron éxitus. La variación de los datos analíticos al ingreso y alta fue: proteínas +1,3 g/dl, albúmina +1,2 g/dl, linfocitos +0,5*103/mm3, PCR -114,5 mg/l y triglicéridos +19,4 mg/dl. Un 10% recibieron remdesivir y un 30% tocilizumab como tratamientos de segunda línea. Todos fueron intubados y tratados con propofol; el 75% requirió posición decúbito prono. Todos los pacientes requirieron nutrición enteral, siendo la fórmula hiperproteica-hipercalórica con fibra la más utilizada. Un 70% necesitó nutrición parenteral total, utilizándose formulaciones hiperproteicas-hipocalóricas de forma prioritaria y suplementadas con vitaminas y oligoelementos. CONCLUSIÓN: Dentro del complicado manejo de este tipo de pacientes, las intervenciones nutricionales han sido necesarias en un 75% de ellos y la adherencia a las guías actuales se ha dado en todos los casos, con resultados favorables


PURPOSE: Evaluate nutritional performance in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Adjustment done following the guidelines of the European and American societies for Clinical Nutrition. METHODOLOGY: Retrospective observational during 2 months study of some patients with pneumonia by COVID-19 in ICU. Informatic programs ICCA(R), OrionClinic(R) and Kabisoft(R) were used to obtain variables of patients. RESULTS: 27 patients were admitted in ICU, while 20 of them required nutritional support. There were 65% of men with average age about 62 ± 13.2. Their theoretical nutritional requirements were between 1,535-1,800 kcal/day. They stayed 2.5 ± 4.5 days in the hospital before their ICU admission. They were 17 ± 6.9 days on average in ICU. At the end of this study, 15% of patients were discharged, 35% were hospitalized, and 50% were dead. The variation of the analytical data at admission and discharge was: proteins +1.3 g/dl, albumin +1.2 g/dl, lymphocytes +0.5*103/mm3, PCR -114.5 mg/l and triglycerides +19.4 mg/dl. 10% took remdesivir and 30% tocilizumab. All of them were intubated and treated with propofol and 75% required prone position. All of patients required enteral nutrition being the hyperprotein-hypercaloric with fiber formula the most used. 70% required central total parenteral nutrition being mostly hyperprotein-hypocaloric and supplemented with vitamins and trace elements. CONCLUSION: Within the complicated management of this type of patients, nutritional interventions have been necessary in 75% of them and adherence to current guidelines has occurred in all cases, with favorable results

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To analyse the effectiveness of the use of Tolvaptan and the adequacy of Tolvaptan prescription at a tertiary level hospital. METHODS: Prospective observational study of Tolvaptan prescrip - tion from October of 2010 to December of 2011. RESULTS: 30 patients (60.0% males) were included, 50.0% of which were diagnosed with heart failure and 30.0% with SIADH. Tolvaptan allowed achieving sodium levels higher than 135 mEq/L in 53.3% of the patients with a mean baseline value of 125.3±7.3 mEq/L. The median treatment duration was 5.0 days (interquartile range=3-45). A significant increase of uric acid associated to Tolvaptan treatment was observed. The prescription was in agreement to what has been established in GFT in 63.3% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS: Tolvaptan increases sodium levels by 7.5 mEq/L, both in SIADH-associated hyponatremia and in heart failure, with an appropriate safety profile.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The objective is to assess a pharmaceutical care programme for heart transplant patients upon patient admission and discharge. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Observational study of heart transplant patients, performed during the first quarter of 2007. Upon admission, the patient was interviewed regarding home treatments, adherence, allergies and adverse effects, and his/her prescriptions were compared with the last discharge report (drug reconciliation). At time of discharge, treatment was checked against the last hospital prescription (reconciliation) and an informative report was drawn up and personally delivered to the patient. Subsequently, a satisfaction questionnaire was carried out by telephone. Drug-related problems were recorded using Atefarm software. RESULTS: The programme was applied to 24 patients upon admission and 23 upon discharge. No drug interactions were detected. Treatment adherence was higher than 90%. 37.5% of patients informed of an adverse reaction. Medication-related problems were identified in 16 patients (45.7%) for 6.6% of medications, most of which (38%) were for infection prophylaxis; medication omission was the most frequently-detected error. Positive evaluation of the information that was received was higher than 90%. CONCLUSIONS: Pharmacotherapeutic follow-up upon admission and discharge resolves and prevents problems while improving patient information and satisfaction. Limitations on personnel prevent the population's requests from being met.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: An economic assessment on the impact of total parenteral nutrition guidelines developed by the Hospital Nutrition Committee for patients undergoing intestinal resection and implemented by a nutritional support multidisciplinary team, was conducted. METHOD: A comparative retrospective study of two consecutive annual periods before and after the implementation of total parenteral nutrition guidelines for patients undergoing intestinal resection developed by the Nutrition Committee was carried out. Cost-effectiveness analysis from the hospital perspective was performed with the pharmacoeconomic program Pharma-Decision Hospital. Effectiveness was assessed as nutritional gain and safety profile; as well as determination of the costs of acquisition, preparation, administration, monitoring and nutritional complications. Sensitivity analysis (+/-20%) of effectiveness and hospital stay. RESULTS: Among 326 patients hospitalized for intestinal resection, 69 out of 172 (40%) received parenteral nutrition during the early period, versus 40 out of 154 (26%) after the surgery procedure (p < 0.01). In 79% of the patients with parenteral nutrition, the adequacy of the indication was assessed, being adequate in 51.7% and 56.7%, respectively (p = 0.66). Nutritional gain before and after surgery was similar (78.3 vs. 82.5%, p > 0.05), with patients having less episodes of hypophosphatemia postoperatively (60 vs. 38%). Mean total cost per patient before and after surgery was 9,180.81 and 7,871.96, respectively. The sensitivity analysis confirmed the above results. CONCLUSIONS: The development of total parenteral nutrition guidelines by the Nutrition Committee for surgical patients undergoing intestinal resection and their implementation by a multidisciplinary team improved the use of parenteral nutrition and reduced associated costs, with the same nutritional evolution.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: In total parenteral nutrition (TPN) nutritional support multidisciplinary teams (NSMT) must provide a high quality nutritional assistance based on evidence and daily follow-up of patients with TPN. OBJECTIVES: To assess the degree of adherence to quality standards of care provided to patients on TPN by the NSMT in two consecutive annual periods, according to structure, procedure, and outcomes indicators, previously defined in the team working protocol. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospective study of all patients that received TPN at our Center (421-bed general teaching hospital) during the years 2002 and 2003, using the data introduced in NUTRIDATA by daily follow-up of clinical and analytical conditions, and nutritional and non-nutritional complications, comparing both periods and considering an statistical significance level of p < 0.05. RESULTS: One hundred and sixty-three patients and 145 patients received TPN during 2002 and 2003(65.9% male), respectively, with similar parameters of gender, age, indications for TPN, baseline nutritional status, mean nutritional supply, and non-nutritional complications. As to the different quality indicators established in the comparative study, we found a significant improvement in 2003 vs. 2002 in relation to initial anthropometrical assessment (71.03% vs 51.53%; p < 0.001), initial biochemical assessment (97.93% vs. 92.63%; p < 0.04), performance of systematic monitoring analysis (84.83% vs. 71.78%; p < 0.01), hypernatremia incidence (8.27% vs. 15.34%; p = 0.05) and moderate hyperphosphatemia (26.89% vs. 40.49%; p < 0.02), TPN ending for clinical improve- ment (76.60% vs. 64.40%; p = 0.04), and reduction of days on TPN (15.74 +/- 20.43 vs. 11.88 +/- 8.34; p < 0.02), the impaired electrolyte levels significantly improving as a whole. We also observed a non-significant trend towards an improvement of adequacy of TPN indications, hyperphosphatemia, severe hypophosphatemia, total stay, and post-surgical stay, in 2003 vs. 2002. CONCLUSIONS: The NSMT experience shows that analysis of indicators based on quality standards, in two successive annual periods allows assessing the improvement of efficiency of nutritional intervention in hospital-admitted patients with TPN with regards to indication, assessment, follow-up, and course.

Effectiveness was assessed as nutritional gain and safetyprofile; as well as determination of the costs of acquisition,preparation, administration, monitoring and nutritional complications.Sensitivity analysis (±20%) of effectiveness and hospitalstay.Results: Among 326 patients hospitalized for intestinal resection,69 out of 172 (40%) received parenteral nutrition during theearly period, versus 40 out of 154 (26%) after the surgery procedure(p 0.05),with patients having less episodes of hypophosphatemia postoperatively(60 vs. 38%). Mean total cost per patient before and after surgery was 9,180.81 and 7,871.96, respectively. The sensitivityanalysis confirmed the above results.Conclusions: The development of total parenteral nutritionguidelines by the Nutrition Committee for surgical patients undergoingintestinal resection and their implementation by a multidisciplinaryteam improved the use of parenteral nutrition and reducedassociated costs, with the same nutritional evolution

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: En la Nutrición Parenteral Total (NPT) los equipos multidisciplinarios de soporte nutricional (EMSN) deben proporcionar una asistencia nutricional de calidad basada en la evidencia y en el seguimiento diario de los pacientes sometidos a NPT. Objetivos: Evaluar el grado de cumplimiento de los estándares de calidad en la asistencia prestada a los pacientes con NPT por parte del EMSN en dos períodos anuales sucesivos, de acuerdo con indicadores de estructura, proceso y resultado previamente definidos en el protocolo de trabajo del equipo. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo de todos los pacientes que recibieron NPT en nuestro centro (hospital general docente con 421 camas) durante el año 2002 y durante el año 2003, utilizando los datos introducidos en NUTRIDATA© mediante el seguimiento diario de las condiciones clínicas, analíticas y complicaciones nutricionales y no nutricionales, comparando ambos períodos y considerando un nivel de significación de p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: 163 y 145 pacientes recibieron NPT durante 2002 y 2003 (65,90% varones), con parámetros similares en cuanto a sexo, edad, motivos de NPT, estado nutricional inicial, aporte nutricional medio y complicaciones no nutricionales. Respecto a los diferentes indicadores de calidad establecidos en el estudio comparativo encontramos una significativa mejoría en el año 2003 vs 2002 en cuanto a la valoración antropométrica inicial (71,03% vs 51,53%, p < 0,001), valoración bioquímica inicial (97,93% vs 92,63%, p<0.04), la realización de analíticas de control sistematizadas (84,83% vs 71,78%, p < 0,01), la incidencia de hipernatremia (8,27% vs 15,34%, p = 0,05) e hipofosfatemia moderada (26,89% vs 40,49%, p < 0,02), la finalización de la NPT por mejoría clínica (76,60% vs 64,40, p = 0,04) y la reducción de días en NPT (15,74 ± 20,43 vs 11,88 ± 8,34, p < 0,02), mejorando en conjunto significativamente los niveles electrolíticos alterados. También observamos una tendencia no significativa a mejorar en 2003 vs 2002 la adecuación de la indicación de NPT, hiperpotasemia, la hipofosfatemia severa, la estancia total y la estancia postquirúrgica. CONCLUSIONES: La experiencia del EMSN demuestra que el análisis de indicadores de acuerdo con estándares de calidad en dos períodos anuales sucesivos permite evaluar la mejora en la eficiencia de la intervención nutricional en pacientes ingresados con NPT respecto a la indicación, valoración, seguimiento y evolución (AU)íes


INTRODUCTION: In total parenteral nutrition (TPN) nutritional support multidisciplinary teams (NSMT) must provide a high quality nutritional assistance based on evidence and daily follow-up of patients with TPN. Objectives: To assess the degree of adherence to quality standards of care provided to patients on TPN by the NSMT in two consecutive annual periods,according to structure, procedure, and outcomes indicators, previously defined in the team working protocol. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospective study of all patients that received TPN at our Center (421-bed general teaching hospital) during the years 2002 and 2003, using the data introduced in NUTRIDATA® by daily follow-up of clinical and analytical conditions, and nutritional and non-nutritional complications, comparing both periods and considering an statistical significance level of p <0.05. RESULTS: One hundred and sixty-three patients and 145 patients received TPN during 2002 and 2003(65.9% male), respectively, with similar parameters of gender, age, indications for TPN, baseline nutritional status, mean nutritional supply, and non-nutritional complications. As to the different quality indicators established in the comparative study, we found a significant improvement in 2003 vs. 2002 in relation to initial anthropometrical assessment (71.03% vs 51.53%; p < 0.001), initial biochemical assessment (97.93% vs. 92.63%; p < 0.04), performance of systematic monitoring analysis (84.83% vs. 71.78%; p < 0.01), hypernatremia incidence (8.27% vs. 15.34%; p = 0.05) and moderate hyperphosphatemia (26.89% vs.40.49%; p < 0.02), TPN ending for clinical improvement (76.60% vs. 64.40%; p = 0.04), and reduction of days on TPN (15.74 ± 20.43 vs. 11.88 ± 8.34; p < 0.02), the impaired electrolyte levels significantly improving as a whole. We also observed a non-significant trend towards an improvement of adequacy of TPN indications, hyperphosphatemia, severe hypophosphatemia, total stay, and post-surgical stay, in 2003 vs. 2002. CONCLUSIONS: The NSMT experience shows that analysis of indicators based on quality standards, in two successive annual periods allows assessing the improvement of efficiency of nutritional intervention in hospital-admitted patients with TPN with regards to indication, assessment, follow-up, and course (AU)
