ABSTRACT

Objetivos. Conocer la incidencia de mortalidad hospitalaria en el postoperatorio de los pacientes con edad igual o mayor de 80 años que ingresan en la Unidad de Reanimación (UR), así como evaluar la capacidad predictiva de las variables presentes en las primeras 48 h de ingreso sobre la mortalidad hospitalaria. Material y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo observacional de cohortes. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes de edad igual o mayor de 80 años ingresados en la UR tras intervenirse quirúrgicamente durante junio del 2011 a diciembre del 2013. Se realizó un modelo de regresión logística en base a un análisis uni y bivariado para conocer la posible asociación entre la mortalidad y las variables independientes. Resultados. De los 186 pacientes recogidos en el estudio, 9 (4,8%) fallecieron en la UR y 22 (11,8%) fallecieron una vez trasladados a planta de hospitalización, lo que se traduce en una mortalidad hospitalaria total de 31 (16,7%). De los 78 pacientes (42%) intervenidos de urgencia y de los 108 de forma programada se observó una mortalidad de 19 (10,2%) y 12 (6,5), respectivamente. Las únicas variables presentes en las primeras 48 h de ingreso en la UR que demostraron ser factor de riesgo para mortalidad hospitalaria fueron ventilación mecánica de más de 48 h (OR; 7,146; IC 95%: 1,563-32,664; p = 0,011) y el grado de severidad en la escala APACHE II en las primeras 24 h (OR: 1,102; IC 95%: 1,005-1,208; p = 0,039). Conclusión. La incidencia de mortalidad hospitalaria en pacientes ancianos encontrada en nuestro centro es equiparable a la de otras series publicadas. La ventilación mecánica prolongada de más de 48 h y el grado de severidad en la escala APACHE II identificarían aquellos pacientes con mayor riesgo de fallecer durante el ingreso hospitalario (AU)


Objectives. To determine the incidence of in-hospital mortality throughout the post-surgical period of patients aged 80 or over who were admitted to the post-surgical critical care unit, as well as to assess the predictive capacity of those variables existing in the first 48 hours on the in-hospital mortality. Material and methods. An observational retrospective cohort study conducted on postsurgical patients up to 80 years old who were admitted to the unit between June 2011 and December 2013. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression was used to determine the association between mortality and the independent variables. Results. Of the 186 patients included, 9 (4.8%) died in the critical care unit, and 22 (11.8%) died in wards during hospital admission, giving a hospital mortality of 31 (16.7%). Among the 78 patients (42%) that underwent acute surgery, and the 108 who underwent elective surgery, there was a mortality rate of 19 (10.2%) and 12 (6.5%), respectively. As regards the variables analysed during the first 48 hours of admission that showed to be hospital mortality risk factor were the need for mechanical ventilation over 48 h, with an OR: 7.146 (95% CI: 1.563-32.664, P = .011) and the degree of the severity score on the APACHE II scale in the first 24 hours, with an OR: 1.102 (95% CI: 1.005-1.208, P = .039). Conclusion. The incidence of hospital mortality in very old patients found in our study is comparable to that reported by other authors. Patients who need mechanical ventilation over 48 h, and with higher scores in the APACHE II scale could be at a higher risk of in-hospital mortality (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Analizar la evolución de una cohorte de diabéticos tipo 2, seguidos durante 5 años, estudiando la incidencia de fallecimientos y complicaciones crónicas, así como los factores relacionados con ellos. Material y métodos. Estudio observacional, prospectivo de la cohorte compuesta por los diabéticos tipo 2 incluidos en el programa de crónicos del Centro de Salud en 1994, valorándose datos demográficos, factores de riesgo asociados (hipertensión arterial, dislipidemias, obesidad y tabaquismo) y complicaciones crónicas macro y microvasculares en la visita de inclusión en el programa y la última evaluación realizada. Los datos se procesan en EPI-INFO v 6.0. Resultados. Se estudian 327 diabéticos, de los que un 37,3 por ciento son hombres. La edad media fue de 70,2 años (desviación estándar [DE] 19,8), sin diferencias por género. Fallecieron durante el seguimiento el 17,2 por ciento de los pacientes, asociándose al éxitus, la presencia de ictus, coronariopatía, vasculopatía, nefropatía y pie diabético. La prevalencia de factores de riesgo en la visita de inicio y en la última fue respectivamente: hipertensión arterial (65,1 por ciento-72,8 por ciento), dislipidemia (59,9 por ciento-60,2 por ciento), obesidad (33,9 por ciento-32,4 por ciento) y tabaquismo (10,4 por ciento-5,5 por ciento). La prevalencia de complicaciones crónicas al inicio y en la última evaluación fue respectivamente: ictus (3 por ciento-10,4 por ciento), coronariopatía (10,7 por ciento-19,9 por ciento), vasculopatía periférica (4,3 por ciento-7,3 por ciento), retinopatía (8,9 por ciento-19,6 por ciento), nefropatía (10,1 por ciento-14,7 por ciento), neuropatía (2,1 por ciento-4,3 por ciento) y pie diabético (3 por ciento-7,3 por ciento). Conclusiones. La alta morbimortalidad de este grupo de pacientes y la evidencia de que intervenciones que mejoren el control metabólico y de los factores de riesgo asociados la reducen, hace necesario incrementar los esfuerzos terapéuticos encaminados a lograr un mejor control.

ABSTRACT

The benefits of immunosuppressive agents in inflammatory bowel disease have been the subject of controversy. However, extensive clinical data have conclusively proved their efficacy with respect to potential toxicity. Azathioprine is one of the most widely used immunosuppressive agents in the treatment of Crohn's disease and its effectiveness has been proved in corticosteroid dependent, corticosteroid-refractory and fistulizing Crohn's disease. We present a 24-year-old male, treated with azathioprine for corticosteroid dependent Crohn's disease who was admitted to hospital with constant fever, lymphadenopathy and liver function abnormalities secondary to infectious mononucleosis after a primary infection with Epstein-Barr virus. The patient developed constitutional symptoms and progressive jaundice and 14 days after hospital admission died because of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to hemorrhagic erosive gastropathy.
