RESUMEN

Introducción:

El alcoholismo y la aparición del síndrome de abstinencia alcohólica (SAA) condicionan un peor pronóstico en los pacientes que lo presentan.

Métodos:

Se recogieron las características epidemiológicas, evolución y mortalidad de todos los casos diagnosticados de SAA en el Complexo Hospitalario de Santiago durante los años 1997 al 2002.

Resultados:

Se identificaron 924 casos con una mortalidad del 2,4% (1,6% en Medicina Interna). La mortalidad se asoció con mayor edad (57 años ± 15 vs. 49± 13, p < 0,005), y con los diagnósticos de cirrosis hepática (6,2 vs. 1,8%, p < 0,005), bacteriemia (10 vs. 1,8%, p < 0,001) e infección respiratoria (9,6 vs. 1,8%, p < 0,001), con una mortalidad menor cuando el SAA fue diagnóstico secundario (1,2 vs. 4,2%, p < 0,005). En el análisis multivariante se asociaron a mayor mortalidad la edad (OR 1,03), la cirrosis hepática (OR 3,4), la bacteriemia (OR 4,5) y la infección respiratoria (OR 3,6).

Conclusión:

La mortalidad asociada al síndrome de abstinencia podría beneficiarse de la centralización del tratamiento en el Servicio de Medicina Interna
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Patients with alcoholism and alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) have a worse prognostic.

Methods:

We have performed a retrospective analysis of the hospital discharges in with diagnosis include AWS from 1 of January of 1997 to the 31 of December of 2002.

Results:

We identified 924 hospital stays with 2.4% of mortality (1.6% in Internal Medicine). Mortality is associated with greater age (57 years ±15 vs. 49± 13, p < 0.005), with the diagnostic of hepatic cirrhosis (6.2 vs. 1.8%, p < 0.005), bacteraemia (10 vs. 1.8%, p < 0.001) and respiratory infection (9.6 vs. 1.8%, p < 0,001), with a lower mortality when AWS was secondary diagnosis (1.2 vs. 4.2%, p < 0.005). In multivariant analysis were associated with more mortality age (OR 1.03), hepatic cirrhosis (OR 3.4), bacteriemia (OR 4.5) and respiratory infection (OR 3.6).

Conclusion:

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome mortality could to benefit from treatment in an Internal Medicine Service
