RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Los objetivos de este trabajo son estudiar el tipo de tratamiento antitrombótico y sus complicaciones en pacientes institucionalizados con fibrilación auricular no valvular y evaluar el grado de controlanticoagulante con medicamentos tipo antivitamina K.

Método:

Estudio observacional de seguimiento prospectivo realizado en siete centros gerontológicos durante el año 2016, valorandoen aquellos residentes con fibrilación auricular no valvular la terapiaantitrombótica establecida y las incidencias embólicas, hemorrágicasy la mortalidad. En los residentes anticoagulados con antivitamina K semidió el control de la anticoagulación, estimándose un mal control si elmétodo de Rosendaal fuese < 65% o el tiempo en rango terapéuticodirecto < 60%.

Resultados:

De los 699 residentes analizados, el 20,6% tenían undiagnóstico de fibrilación auricular no valvular, con una edad media de85,83 años. El riesgo cardioembólico fue alto (CHA2DS2-VASc medio4,79), así como el riesgo hemorrágico (HAS-BLED medio 3,04). El 50%estaban anticoagulados, principalmente con antivitamina K, de los cualesal menos el 56% no se encontraban dentro del rango terapéutico. Un16% de los residentes no tenían prescrita terapia antitrombótica, destacando en éstos una mayor dependencia funcional, cognitiva y edad más avanzada. Se encontró una mayor frecuencia de ingresos hospitalarios de causa cardiovascular y de sangrados en aquellos residentes anticoagulados, aunque no hubo diferencias significativas. (AU)
ABSTRACT

Objective:

The goals of this study were to analyze the type of antithrombotic treatment administered to institutionalized patients with nonvalvularatrial fibrillation (and any ensuing complications) and to evaluate thedegree of anticoagulation control achieved with vitamin K antagonists.

Method:

This was a prospective observational follow-up study carriedout in seven elderly care facilities during 2016. Patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation were evaluated for their antithrombotic therapy andany embolic or hemorrhagic events, as well as for mortality. Subjects onanticoagulation treatment with VKAs were evaluated for anticoagulationcontrol, with control considered poor if the mean time in therapeutic rangewas < 65% when measured with Rosendaal’s method or < 60% whendetermined by the direct method.

Results:

Of the 699 residents evaluated, 20.6% had a diagnosis ofNVAF. Average age was 85.83 years. Both the cardioembolic (meanCHA2DS2-VASc score 4.79), and the hemorrhagic (mean HAS-BLEDscore 3.04) risk were high. Fifty percent received anticoagulationtreatment, mainly with vitamin K antagonists, of whom at least 56% werenot within the therapeutic range. Sixteen percent of the residents, theoldest and most functionally and cognitively dependent ones, had notbeen prescribed any antithrombotic therapy. A higher frequency of hospital admissions induced by cardiovascular and bleeding events was found in these residents, although differences were not statistically significant. (AU)
