Tendencias en la incidencia de hospitalizaciones por cáncer de pulmón en España entre 2001 y 2011 / Trends in the incidence of lung cancer ospitalizations in Spain, 2001-2011

OBJETIVO: Analizar los cambios en incidencia, características clínicas, procedimientos diagnósticos, comorbilidad, estancia hospitalaria y coste en los pacientes hospitalizados por cáncer de pulmón (CP) en España entre 2001 y 2011. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo mediante la utilización del registro nacional de hospitalizaciones conjunto mínimo básico de datos (CMBD). Se reclutaron todos los pacientes hospitalizados por CP en España durante el periodo de estudio. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas, económicas y relacionadas con la salud. RESULTADOS: Se detectaron 298.435 hospitalizaciones, cuya tasa global aumentó desde 61,18 hasta 65,08 por 100.000 habitantes desde 2001 a 2011 (p < 0,05), evidenciándose una disminución progresiva en hombres y un aumento en mujeres. El intervalo de edad con mayor incidencia fue el registrado entre los 70 a 79años. El porcentaje de pacientes con un índice de comorbilidad de Charlson > 2 se incrementó desde el 4,5 al 9,1% (p < 0,05). El procedimiento diagnóstico más realizado fue la tomografía computarizada (TC) torácica. La estancia media disminuyó a lo largo del periodo de estudio, pero el coste por hospitalización aumentó desde 4.471,22 € en 2001 hasta 5.562,54 € en 2011 (p < 0,05). Los factores asociados con la incidencia de ingresos hospitalarios en el análisis multivariado fueron: edad, sexo y año de estudio. CONCLUSIONES: Observamos una disminución en la tasa de ingresos en hombres y un aumento en mujeres, con incremento concomitante de comorbilidad y coste y disminución de la estancia hospitalaria media. Los factores asociados con la incidencia de ingresos por CP son la edad, el sexo y el año del estudio

OBJECTIVE. To analyze changes in the incidence, diagnostic procedures, comorbidity, length of hospital stay and costs of patients hospitalized for lung cancer in Spain between 2001 and 2011. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective study including all patients hospitalised with a primary diagnosis of lung cancer between 2001 and 2011. Data were collected from the National Hospital Discharge Database, encompassing the entire Spanish population. Economic and sociodemographic characteristics and health-related variables were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 298,435 hospitalizations occurred. The overall crude incidence increased from 61.18 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2001 to 65.08 per 100,000 in 2011 (P < .05), with a decrease in men and a proportionate increase in women. The age group with the highest incidence was 70 to 79 years. In 2001, 4.5% of patients had a Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) > 2, and in 2011, prevalence of CCI > 2 increased to 9.1% (P < .05). Mean length of hospital stay decreased during the study period. Computed tomography was the most common procedure. Mean cost per patient increased from €4,471.22 in 2001 to €5,562.54 (P < .05) in 2011. Factors related to the incidence of hospitalizations were age, sex and year of study in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: We found a decrease in the rate of hospitalizations in men and an increase in women, with a concomitant increase in comorbidities and cost; however, length of hospital stay decreased. Factors related to incidence of hospitalizations were age, sex and year of study

Endobronchial metastases of colorectal cancer.

Colorectal metastases affecting trachea or bronchi are highly unusual. Up to 26% of endotracheal/endobronchial metastases are due to colorectal cancer. Treatment and palliative management rely on a multidisciplinary team to improve their quality of life.
