ABSTRACT

The mapping of possible predictors of restrictions in the social participation of people after stroke in the community can be an essential tool to support the development of rehabilitation strategies even in the hospital environment. This study aimed to identify whether mobility, functional balance and dependence on functionality at hospital discharge can predict restrictions on social participation 1 year after stroke in the community. This is a hospital-based cohort study, with individuals over 18 years old admitted with a diagnosis of acute stroke included. People with dementia, previous functional limitations and cancer patients were omitted. Mobility, balance and functional independence were the predictor variables at hospital discharge, and the outcome of interest was social participation assessed 1 year after a stroke in the community. Forty-eight patients were included after a 1-year follow-up. The degree of functional independence at hospital discharge ( ß = 0.813; P < 0.01) was the independent predictor of social participation, specifically the locomotion ( ß = 0.452; P < 0.001) and social cognition ( ß = 0.462; P < 0.001) related to functional independence. Mobility ( ß = 0.040; P = 0.777) and functional balance ( ß = 0.060; P = 0.652) did not show an independent association. Cognitive functional independence was a predictor of daily activities ( ß = 0.786; P < 0.001), social roles ( ß = 0.390; P = 0.014) and satisfaction ( ß = 0.564; P < 0.001) of social participation. The degree of functional independence of people after a stroke at hospital discharge was able to predict the level of social involvement in the community one year after the stroke.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: a disfunção pulmonar no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca continua sendo uma das mais importantes causas demorbidade, sendo que o comprometimento da função pulmonar, nessa circunstância, é frequente e contribui, significativamente, para o aumento do tempo de permanência hospitalar. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o comportamento da função pulmonar em pacientes adultos hospitalizados, submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca por esternotomia mediana, no momento a alta da unidade tratamento intensivo, comparado ao quarto dia após a alta dessa unidade. Metodologia: o estudo foi realizado em uma unidade de pós-operatório de cirurgia cardiovascular, após aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. O Termo de Consentimento Livre Esclarecido foi obtido em todos os casos. Incluíram-se pacientes maiores de 18 anos, submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca eletiva. A função pulmonar foi realizada na alta da unidade de tratamento intensivo e, posteriormente, repetida no quarto dia. A função pulmonar foi mensurada pela capacidade vital forçada, pico de fluxo expiratório, além de variáveis do exame físico, como frequência respiratória e ausculta pulmonar. Resultados: 94 pacientes foram submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca eletiva via esternotomia mediana. A média (desvio padrão) de idade foi 50,64 (16,53) anos, com predomínio do sexo masculino (52,1%). A mediana (Q1-Q3) do tempo de permanência na unidade de tratamento intensivo foi de 2,00 dias (2,00-3,00), ao passo que a mediana (Q1-Q3) do tempo de permanência hospitalar foi de 6,00 dias (5,00-8,00). A mediana (Q1-Q3) da capacidade vital forçada e do fluxo respiratório, obtida pela espirometria no pós-operatório, no momento da alta, foi significativamente menor quando comparada ao quarto dia após alta da unidade de tratamento intensivo (p< 0,01). O tempo de permanência na unidade, assim como o tempo de permanência hospitalar não impactou na evolução das variáveis de função pulmonar. Conclusão: a função pulmonar é potencialmente reduzida no período inicial após a cirurgia cardíaca, com evolução gradual, e de recuperação lenta, no curso da recuperação cirúrgica. A manutenção desses valores reduzidos a níveis não críticos por um período prolongado no pós-operatório parece não afetar o desempenho dos pacientes, no que tange a capacidade de respirar profundamente e na efetividade de tosse.


Introduction: pulmonary dysfunction in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery continues to be one of the most important causes of morbidity, and the involvement of pulmonary function in this circumstance is frequent and contributes significantly to an increase in the length of hospital stay. Objective: the objective of this study was to evaluate the pulmonary function behavior in hospitalized adult patients submitted to cardiac surgery by median sternotomy at the time of discharge from the intensive care unit, compared to the fourth day after discharge from this unit. Metodology: the study was performed in a postoperative unit of cardiovascular surgery, after approval of the Research Ethics Committee. The Informed Consent Form was obtained in all cases. Patients older than 18 years who underwent elective cardiac surgery were included. Pulmonary function was performed on discharge from the intensive care unit and then repeated on the fourth day. Pulmonary function was measured by forced vital capacity, peak expiratory flow, besides variables of physical examination, such as respiratory rate and pulmonary auscultation. Results: a number of 94 patients underwent elective cardiac surgery via median sternotomy. Mean (standard deviation) of age was 50.64 (16.53) years, with a predominance of males (52.1%). Median (Q1-Q3) of the time spent in the intensive care unit was 2.00 days (2.00-3.00), while the median (Q1-Q3) of the length of hospital stay was 6.00 days (5.00-8.00). Median (Q1-Q3) of forced vital capacity and respiratory flow, obtained by spirometry in the postoperative period at discharge, was significantly lower when compared to the fourth day after discharge from the intensive care unit (p <0.01 ). The length of stay in the unit, as well as the length of hospital stay, did not affect the evolution of pulmonary function variables. Conclusion: pulmonary function is potentially reduced in the initial period after cardiac surgery, with gradual evolution, and slowness in the course of surgical recovery. Maintaining these reduced values at uncritical levels for a prolonged postoperative period does not appear to affect patients' performance with regard to their ability to breathe deeply and in cough effectiveness.
