ABSTRACT

ObjetivoMejorar la efectividad clínica en el abordaje de las infecciones urinarias mediante un ciclo de garantía de calidad.MétodosDiseño: estudio pre-post. Se analizaron los indicadores de tratamiento de la infección urinaria en el año previo a la intervención y a los 6 y a los 18 meses de producirse ésta.MétodosÁmbito: médicos de familia. Centro de salud urbano.MétodosIntervención y mediciones principales: se seleccionó una guía de práctica clínica para el abordaje de la infección urinaria, mediante método de consenso entre profesionales y mediante la utilización del documento de evaluación Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation (AGREE). Los puntos esenciales del protocolo elegido e indicadores de evaluación eran la prescripción de tratamiento con una dosis única de 3 g de fosfomicina por vía oral sin realización de tira reactiva de orina ni urocultivo a aquellas pacientes que cumplieran criterios de inclusión. Los resultados basales de estos indicadores, así como los de la primera evaluación a los 6 meses de iniciada la intervención, se comunicaron y se analizaron con los médicos del centro. La medición se ha realizado mediante auditoría de historias clínicas, seleccionadas mediante un plan de muestreo por lotes.ResultadosAl partir de un nivel de cumplimiento de los indicadores, en el mejor de los casos, de un 52%, al año y medio de la intervención todos los indicadores principales habían alcanzado un nivel de calidad aceptable del 90% (α del 5% y β del 10%).ConclusionesLa introducción de un ciclo de mejora para el abordaje de las infecciones urinarias en nuestro ámbito parece modificar el comportamiento de los profesionales sanitarios y mejorar la efectividad(AU)

ABSTRACT

AIM: To improve clinical effectiveness of the management of urinary tract infections in a primary care centre by means of a Management Quality Cycle. DESIGN: Pre-post test. SETTING: Urban primary care centre. PARTICIPANTS AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We selected a clinical practice guideline for management of urinary tract infection by way of consensus among doctors, and using the evaluation document AGREE. The main points of the protocol chosen, and evaluation indicators were: the prescription of treatment with a single dose of 3 grams of fosfomycin orally without performing a urine strip or urine culture to those patients who met the protocol inclusion criteria. The results of these baseline indicators, as well as evaluation at six months after the intervention started, were reported and discussed with the doctors of medical centre. The measurement was conducted by audit of medical records selected by lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS). RESULTS: Starting from a level of compliance of the indicators of, at best 52%, at 18 months after the intervention all major indicators had reached an acceptable quality level of 90% (5% alpha and beta 10%). CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of a Management Quality Cycle for management urinary tract infections in our area, appears to modify the behaviour of health professionals and improve the clinical effectiveness.
