Evaluación de las infiltraciones realizadas en atención primaria / Evaluation of filtrations practised in primary care

Objetivos. Describir la evolución del dolor y de la impotencia funcional en la patología articular y periarticular tras infiltrar con corticoide y anestésico local; analizar el número de altas que se pueden dar en estos pacientes en situación de incapacidad laboral transitoria (ILT) durante la primera semana postinfiltración. Diseño. Estudio de intervención sin grupo control. Emplazamiento. Consultas de un centro de salud semiurbano (ABS Piera). Participantes. Sesenta y cinco pacientes mayores de 18 años de ambos sexos, con afección articular y periarticular. Intervención. Se infiltró localmente con acetónido de triamcinolona y bupivacaína al 2% a 65 pacientes. Mediciones principales. Factores sociodemográficos, diagnóstico, respuesta, número de infiltraciones por paciente, efectos secundarios y número de altas de ILT durante la primera semana postinfiltración. Resultados. Se infiltró predominantemente a varones (57%) con 31-65 años (67,7%), activos (70,7%) en trabajos manuales (78,4%). La tendinitis del manguito de los rotadores (46,2%) y la epicondilitis (27,7%) fueron los diagnósticos más frecuentes. Las medias y el intervalo de confianza (IC) obtenidos en la escala analógica visual (EAV) para el dolor fueron: inicialmente, 8,6 (7,4-9,8); a la semana, 1,4 (1-1,8); a los 3 meses, 2,2 (1,3-3,1), y al año, 2,3 (1,1-3,5). Las medias y el IC del 95% hallados para la impotencia funcional fueron: inicialmente, 8,2 (6,7-9,7); a la semana, 0,9 (0,7-1,1); a los 3 meses, 1,2 (0,9-1,5), y al año, 1,6 (1,4-1,8). El número de infiltraciones por paciente fue 1,6. No hubo efectos secundarios importantes. Se dieron 19 altas en 25 pacientes que estaban en ILT durante la primera semana postinfiltración. Conclusiones. Los pacientes mostraron disminución del dolor y de la impotencia funcional en la afección articular y periarticular después de la infiltración, permitiendo dar un número elevado de altas durante la primera semana postinfiltración

Objectives. To describe the evolution of the pain and the functional impotence in the articular and periarticular pathology after to infiltrate with local corticosteroid and anaesthetic; to analize the number of discharge certificates that maybe to give in the patients with employment transitory incapacity (ETI) during the first week post-infiltration. Design. Intervention without control group. Setting. Semiurban primary care physician's practices (ABS Piera). Participants. Men and women elder than 18 years old, with articular and periarticular pathology. Intervention. Were infiltrated with local triamcinolone acetonid and bupivacain 2% 65 patients. Main measurements. Were gathered socio-demographic factors, diagnostic, response, number of infiltrations for patient, secondary effects, and number of discharge certificates that were given in the patients in ETI situation during the first week post-infiltration. Results. Were infiltrated predominantly men (57%) with 31-65 years old (67.7%), employed (70.7%) in manual works (78.4%). Rotary joint tendinitis (46.2%) and epicondylitis (27.7%) were the most common diagnostics. Mean and CI (95%) obtained in the VAS for pain were: initially, 8.8 (7.4-9.8); week, 1.4 (1-1.8); 3 months, 2.2 (1.3-3.1), and year, 2.3 (1.1-3.5). Mean and CI (95%) found for functional impotence were: initially, 8.2 (6.7-9.7); week, 0.9 (0.7-1.1); 3 months, 1.2 (0.9-1.5), and year, 1.6 (1.4-1.8). The number of infiltrations for patient was 1.6. Hadn't important secondary effects. Were given 19 discharge certificates in 25 patients with ETI in the first week post-infiltration. Conclusions. The patients diminished the pain and the functional impotence in the articular and periarticular pathology after of the infiltration, allowing to give an elevate number of discharge certificates during the first week post-infiltration
