RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

La coordinación entre niveles asistenciales constituye un elemento esencial para incrementar la eficiencia del sistema sanitario; en este sentido, la enfermedad vascular ocupa un lugar destacado por incluir entidades frecuentes, graves y vulnerables. Debido a la alta prevalencia de la enfermedad, hay actualmente un número desproporcionado de pacientes, que son derivados desde Atención Primaria (AP) a Especializada (AE), con el diagnóstico de sospecha de insuficiencia venosa crónica de miembros inferiores y que realmente no se confirma este diagnóstico. Lo cual lleva a colapsar las consultas de AE, retrasar el diagnóstico, pérdidas de días laborables y todas las repercusiones sanitarias, sociales y económicas.

OBJETIVO:

El objetivo de este estudio es valorar la realidad de esta patología en el distrito sanitario Huelva Costa. PACIENTES Y

MÉTODOS:

Para ello realizamos estudio descriptivo de los pacientes pertenecientes a esta área que acuden a médico de AP para consultar sobre patología venosa. Igualmente realizamos estudio descriptivo mediante encuestas, para conocer el grado de conocimiento sobre dicha patología del médico de AP, así como sobre la necesidad de realización de cursos de formación continuada, o bien, analizar si estos cursos transmiten las competencias necesarias a los profesionales para realizar una buena práctica diaria frente a esta entidad clínica.

RESULTADOS:

Los primeros datos obtenidos muestran que solo se deriva desde AP con acierto en un 42,4% de los casos. Existe una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la certeza diagnóstica y síntomas como la cercanía a fuente de calor, antecedentes familiares de varices (AFV), pesadez de piernas, venas gruesas en MMII, hinchazón de piernas al final del día y el sexo femenino.

CONCLUSIONES:

Parece inadecuado el elevado número de paciente derivados desde la AP a la AE bajo la sospecha de IVC en los que no se confirma el diagnóstico
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The coordination between levels of care is an essential element to increase the efficiency of the health system. Vascular diseases, in particular would benefit from this due to its frequency, severity and vulnerability. Owing to the high prevalence of the disease, there is currently a disproportionate number of patients being referred from Primary Care (AP) to Specialist Units (AE), with a suspected diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs (IVC MMII) without really having this diagnosis confirmed. This leads to collapse in AE consultations, diagnostic delay, lost workdays, as well as all the public health, social and economic repercussions.

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this study is to assess the reality of this disease in the Huelva Costa Health District. PATIENTS AND

METHODS:

A descriptive study was conducted on a population of Huelva Coast Area Health seen by a Primary Care doctor to consult on lower limb venous pathology. The study also included a questionnaire to determine the level of knowledge about this disease of the Primary Care physician, as well as the need for conducting continuing education courses and analyse whether these courses provide professionals with the necessary skills for a good daily practice against this clinical condition.

RESULTS:

The first data obtained show that only 42.4% of cases referred from Primary Care had a correct diagnosis. There is a statistically significant association between diagnostic accuracy and risk factors/symptoms, such as nearby heat source, a family history of varicose veins, heavy legs, thick veins in the lower limbs, swelling of the legs at the end of the day, and being female.

CONCLUSION:

There appears to be an inappropriately high number of patients referred from Primary Care to Specialists due to suspicion of IVC, in which the diagnosis is not confirmed
