Evaluación de los indicadores de calidad asistencial de la Asociación Española de Urología en un programa de trasplante renal / Evaluation of the Spanish Urological Association quality care indicators in a kidney transplantation programme

Introducción: Los indicadores muestran la presencia de un fenómeno y su intensidad. Evalúan el nivel de calidad asistencial, identificando situaciones de mejora potencial. Nuestro objetivo es evaluar los indicadores de calidad asistencial de 2013 y 2014 del área de trasplante renal de nuestro servicio. Material y método: Revisamos 88 y 106 trasplantes renales, y 47 y 66 extracciones realizados durante 2013 y 2014. Evaluamos los indicadores de calidad asistencial elaborados por la Asociación Española de Urología, analizando los resultados con el programa SPSS v 21.0. Resultados: Tiempo de isquemia fría (TIF) medio 14,96h en 2013 y 18,07h en 2014; TIF≤18h en 53% y 56% de riñones de donante cadáver. Tasa de fístula urinaria precoz relevante de 1,14% y 2,83% cada año; tasa de trasplantectomía precoz por complicación vascular 3,41% y 2,83%. Supervivencia global del paciente al primer año del 100% para ambos periodos; supervivencia de injerto al primer año del 95% y 94,34%. Porcentaje de trasplante de donante vivo del 14,77% y 17,92%, siendo laparoscópicas el 92,31% de extracciones de vivo en 2013 y 68,42% en 2014. Médicos en formación (MIR) como primer cirujano en el 6,67% y 12,64% de trasplantes, y en el 55,88% y 19,14% de extracciones de cadáver. Conclusiones: Durante el periodo evaluado se cumplieron todos los estándares de calidad asistencial en trasplante renal, salvo el TIF en ambos años y participación de MIR en implante renal únicamente en 2013. Este análisis promociona mejoras en la calidad asistencial, pudiendo trabajar sobre puntos débiles detectados

Introduction: Indicators show the presence of a phenomenon and its intensity. They assess the level of quality care and identify potential situations for improvement. Our objective is to assess the 2013 and 2014 quality care indicators of our department's kidney transplantation area. Material and method: For 2013 and 2014, we reviewed 88 and 106 kidney transplants and 47 and 66 extractions. We evaluated the quality care indicators developed by the Spanish Urological Association, analysing the results with the SPSS v 21.0 programme. Results: The mean cold ischaemia time (CIT) was 14.96hours in 2013 and 18.07hours in 2014. The CIT was ≤18h in 53% and 56% of cadaveric donor kidneys in 2013 and 2014, respectively. The rate of relevant early onset urinary fistulae was 1.14% and 2.83% for each year. The rate of early transplantectomy due to a vascular complication was 3.41% and 2.83% for 2013 and 2014, respectively. Overall patient survival at 1 year was 100% for both periods, and graft survival at 1 year was 95% and 94.34% for 2013 and 2014, respectively. The rate of living-donor transplantation was 14.77% and 17.92%, and 92.31% and 68.42% of the living-donor extractions were laparoscopic for 2013 and 2014, respectively. Resident medical interns were the first surgeon in 6.67% and 12.64% of the transplantations and in 55.88% and 19.14% of the cadaveric extractions during 2013 and 2014, respectively. Conclusions: During the evaluated period, all quality care standards in kidney transplantation were met, except for CIT in both years and resident medical intern participation in kidney implantation in 2013. This analysis promotes improvements in quality care, highlighting weak spots that need work
