RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The present study reports the results of a survey jointly carried out by three Italian respiratory scientific associations (AIMAR, AIPO, SIMeR) together with an important Federation of elderly patients (FederAnziani) during the National Conference of Italian Court for Health Right held in Rimini from November 29(th) to December 1(st), 2013. The survey, based on a spirometric examination preceded by a questionnaire on respiratory health, was conducted on elderly people coming from all Italian regions to attend the Conference. METHODS: Nine hundred forty-nine subjects (574 females and 375 males), mean age 66.2 ± 10.1 years, were interviewed and performed spirometric examination. There were 137 smokers (14.4 %). Mean value of Body Mass Index (BMI) was significantly higher in males (27.6 ± 6.6) than in females (26.3 ± 4.3). RESULTS: 17.1 % (N = 143) of the studied subjects reported to be suffering from respiratory disease and the prevalent illnesses were asthma (31.5 %) and COPD/emphysema (24.5 %), but only 3.3 % of the whole surveyed group was able to identify COPD as a pulmonary disease, however without knowing its characteristics, while these were known by 0.5 % of the interviewed subjects only. A high number of subjects, 22 % of whom were smokers, declared chronic sputum production. 10.2 % of the study group showed an obstructive defect at spirometry when the criterium of lower limit of the normal (LLN) was considered, whereas it was 12.4 % if the fixed limit of 0.70 was chosen. 64 % of the obstructed people thought they did not have any respiratory disease. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this survey, able to spread the knowledge of respiratory diseases and spirometry in a wide sample of subjects for the most part scarcely aware of them, emphasize the need for a greater divulgation of respiratory issues among the general population.

RESUMO

El presente estudio analiza las características actuales de la atención psiquiátrica brindada por el equipo de Enlace del Hospital del Salvador de Santiago de Chile, comparándolas con otro estudio efectuado en la misma unidad hace veinticinco años. Se trabaja con 793 interconsultas recibidas entre enero 2003 hasta julio del 2004, estudiando a 680 pacientes hospitalizados en los distintos servicios del complejo Salvador Infante (Hospital del Salvador, Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias y Cirugía Torácica e Instituto de Neurocirugía). Se indaga respecto a características sociodemográficas de la población atendida, servicios solicitantes, patologías médicas, motivos de solcitud de interconsulta psiquiátrica y/o diagnóstico psiquiátrico presuntivos, diagnósticos entregados por los especialistas según criterio del CIE-10, atención entregada y sugerencias de derivación. Los datos son registrados al momento de evaluar a los pacientes en una ficha estructurada a tal fin. Se observan importantes diferencias respecto a las prevalencias entre los médicos solicitantes y el equipo de enlace, destacándose el alto porcentaje de depresiones diagnósticadas por el primer grupo (36 por ciento). El equipo de enlace diagnosticó en cambio mayor porcentaje de trastornos secundarios al estrés (37 por ciento) y de trastornos por abuso de sustancias (22por ciento). Las diferencias observadas para ambos grupos resultaron estadísticamente significativas (chi cuadrado=168,71)(p<0,001). Esta disparidad fue observada ya en 1981 aunque en menor grado. Se discute el aumento progresivo de la demanda de atención psiquiátrica de enlace en el Hospital del Salvador y su inclusión en nuevos ámbitos de la medicina.
