ABSTRACT

Antecedentes y objetivo: Evaluar el impacto de la aplicación de una guía clínica multidisciplinar en el proceso de atención a pacientes con fractura de cadera. Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo pre y postintervención en una Unidad de Ortogeriatría de un hospital de segundo nivel tras implementar una guía clínica multidisciplinar de atención a la fractura de cadera. Se analizan las características basales de los pacientes y las variaciones observadas en las variables de proceso y de desenlace en los 2períodos estudiados (junio del 2015-mayo del 2016 y junio del 2016-mayo del 2017). Resultados: Las características basales de la población fueron similares en el período preintervención (n = 455) y en el período postintervención (n = 456). La edad media de los pacientes fue 84,8 ± 6,8 años y un 70,8% eran mujeres. La aplicación de la guía clínica multidisciplinar produjo una reducción de la estancia media (16,9 días vs. 15,6 días, p = 0,014) y mejoró la prescripción del tratamiento de la osteoporosis (51,6% vs. 88%, p < 0,001), y redujo los episodios de delirio (44% vs. 31,2%, p < 0,001), broncoespasmo (18,3% vs. 12%, p = 0,019), insuficiencia cardíaca (20% vs. 11,5%, p < 0,001) y enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica agudizada (7,9% vs. 3,8%, p = 0,017). Observamos un incremento de las úlceras por presión al alta (2,9% vs. 9%, p = 0,001). No hubo diferencias en la proporción de pacientes operados en menos de 48 h (56% vs. 61,2%, p = 0,64), en reingresos hospitalarios (6,9% vs. 5,9%, p = 0,51) ni en mortalidad (5,0% vs. 7,2%, p = 0,17). Conclusiones: La implantación de una guía clínica multidisciplinar mejoró aspectos del proceso de atención a los pacientes con fractura de cadera (AU)


Background and objectives: This study aims to evaluate the impact of implementing multidisciplinary clinical guidelines in the process of caring for patients with hip fractures. Materials and methods: This work is a pre- and post-intervention prospective study in the Orthogeriatrics Unit of a second-level hospital after implementing multidisciplinary clinical guidelines for hip fracture care. We analyzed patients’ baseline characteristics and the variations observed in care provided and in outcome variables in the 2periods studied (June 2015-May 2016 and June 2016-May 2017). Results: The baseline characteristics of the population were similar in the pre-intervention period (n=455) compared to the post-intervention period (n=456). Patients’ mean age was 84.8 ± 6.8 years and 70.8% were women. The implementation of the multidisciplinary clinical guidelines led to a reduction in the mean length of hospital stay (16.9 days vs 15.6 days, p=.014); improved osteoporosis treatment prescribing (51.6% vs 88%, p<.001); and reduced episodes of delirium (44% vs 31.2%, p<.001), bronchospasm (18.3% vs 12%, p=.019), heart failure (20% vs 11.5%, p<.001), and COPD exacerbation (7.9% vs 3.8%, p=.017). We observed an increase in pressure ulcers at discharge (2.9 vs 9%, p<.001). There were no differences in the percentage of operations in less than 48hours (56% vs 61.2% p=.64), hospital readmissions (6.9% vs 5.9%, p=.51), or mortality (5.0% vs 7.2%, p=.17). Conclusions:The implementation of multidisciplinary clinical guidelines improved aspects of the care process for patients with hip fracture (AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the impact of implementing multidisciplinary clinical guidelines in the process of caring for patients with hip fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This work is a pre- and post-intervention prospective study in the Orthogeriatrics Unit of a second-level hospital after implementing multidisciplinary clinical guidelines for hip fracture care. We analyzed patients' baseline characteristics and the variations observed in care provided and in outcome variables in the two periods studied (June 2015-May 2016 and June 2016-May 2017). RESULTS: The baseline characteristics of the population were similar in the pre-intervention period (n = 455) compared to the post-intervention period (n = 456). Patients' mean age was 84.8 ± 6.8 years and 70.8% were women. The implementation of the multidisciplinary clinical guidelines led to a reduction in the mean length of hospital stay (16.9 days vs. 15.6 days, p= .014); improved osteoporosis treatment prescribing (51.6% vs. 88%, p< .001); and reduced episodes of delirium (44% vs. 31.2%, p < .001), bronchospasm (18.3% vs. 12%, p = .019), heart failure (20% vs. 11.5%, p < .001), and COPD exacerbation (7.9% vs. 3.8%, P = .017). We observed an increase in pressure ulcers at discharge (2.9 vs. 9%, P < .001). There were no differences in the percentage of operations in less than 48 h (56% vs. 61.2% p = .64), hospital readmissions (6.9% vs. 5.9%, p = .51), or mortality (5.0% vs. 7.2%, p = .17). CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of multidisciplinary clinical guidelines improved aspects of the care process for patients with hip fracture.

ABSTRACT

El embolismo de líquido amniótico (ELA) es un cuadro extremadamente grave e infrecuente. Su pronóstico es fatal, tanto para la madre como para el feto. Incluso en los países desarrollados, donde se ha logrado disminuir la morbimortalidad de múltiples afecciones del embarazo, como la preeclampsia, continúa teniendo unas consecuencias devastadoras. A ello contribuye el desconocimiento que existe aún respecto a su fisiopatología, lo cual redunda en una mayor dificultad para su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Hoy día, el diagnóstico del ELA continúa siendo clínico y un diagnóstico de exclusión y, en muchas ocasiones, se hace tras la necropsia (AU)


Amniotic fluid embolism is an extremely serious and infrequent syndrome. Prognosis is fatal for the pregnant woman and the fetus. Even in developed countries, where morbidity and mortality from many disorders of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, has decreased, amniotic fluid embolism still has catastrophic consequences. The pathogenesis of this syndrome remains unclear, increasing the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment. Currently, diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism continues to be clinical and made on the basis of exclusion. On many occasions, diagnosis is made at autopsy (AU)

ABSTRACT

Los estudios demográficos de proyección de la población señalan un aumento importante de las personas de más de 80 años. En los grupos poblacionales de edad avanzada es frecuente la aparición de comorbilidad y de síndromes geriátricos. La patología cardiovascular, los déficits cognitivos, los cuadros confusionales, los problemas nutricionales, la incontinencia urinaria o el tratamiento del dolor son algunas de las situaciones con las que nos podemos encontrar en los pacientes de edad avanzada. Para tratar adecuadamente a estas personas con pluripatología es necesaria una valoración exhaustiva que nos permita detectar las enfermedades presentes o latentes y así priorizar los objetivos terapéuticos. La valoración geriátrica integral es el instrumento empleado para la correcta evaluación del enfermo geriátrico con comorbilidad. Los beneficios y la eficiencia de esta metodología de valoración están ampliamente descritos en la literatura


The demographic studies of population projection indicate a significant increase of persons over 80 years. In the elderly population group, appearance of comorbidity and geriatric syndrome syndromes is common. Cardiovascular disease, cognitive deficits, confusional pictures, nutritional problems, urinary incontinence or treatment of pain are some of the conditions that we may find in elderly patients. In order to adequately treat these persons with multiple diseases, an exhaustive assessment must be made to detect present or latent diseases and thus give priority to the therapeutic objectives. Complete geriatric assessment is the instrument used for the correct assessment of the geriatric patient with comorbidity. The benefits and efficiency of this assessment method are widely described in the literature
