RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Se propuso el índice de Barthel (IB) como método rápido y fácil para detectar a pacientes potencialmente frágiles que se pudieran beneficiar de estrategias específicas para ellos. Méto do Para ello se seleccionó una muestra a partir de los pacientes mayores de 65 años que acudían al servicio de urgen cias. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo en el que se recogió, entre otras variables sociodemográficas, el IB. A lo largo de 9 meses se recogió el número de hospita lizaciones, de readmisiones a urgencias y si el paciente falleció durante este tiempo. Se realizó test de contraste de hipótesis Chi Cuadrado y regresión lo gística para la asociación entre las varia bles que mostraron significación estadís tica en el análisis bivariante. Las odd ra tios(OR) se usaron para evaluar la aso ciación del IB mayor o menor de 60 con las variables de resultado. Se consideró significación estadística cuando la p <0.05 Se estudió la supervivencia por medio de modelo de regresión de Cox.

Conclusiones:

El IB está relacionado con una mayor mortalidad y hospitalización a corto y medio plazo. Se propone el IB como herramienta de cribado del pacien te potencialmente frágil en los servicios de urgencias, llevado a cabo por profe sionales de enfermería, a los pacientes mayores de 65 años (AU)
ABSTRACT
The present manuscript proposes Barthel Index (BI) as quickly and easy case management of potentially frail el derly.

Method:

A sample of patients over the age of 65 was collected at the emer gency room. A descriptive study was ca rried out in which, among other sociode mographic variables, the BI was collec ted. A descriptive study was conducted that included the IB as one of other so cio-demographic and clinical variables. The number of hospitalizations, readmis sions to the emergency department (ED), and whether the patient died during that period were collected over nine months.

Results:

The total number of patients was 591. 17.4% died by the end of moni toring 41.9% of the sample returned to the ED at least once and 48.9% were hospitalized at least once during that pe riod. 40.9% of the sample were indepen dent and 27.3% had severe or total de pendence, according to the IB. Statistical significance was found between IB and mortality at 3, 6 and 9 months. Patients with Barthel 60 had 3.55 (2.40, 5.23) ti mes more risk of mortality than patients with >60.

Conclusions:

IB is associated to mortality and hospitalization at short term. It is proposed to implement the use of IB as a fragility prediction tool in ED, provided by nursing professionals to pa tients over the age of 65 (AU)
