RESUMEN
Introducción. La notificación urgente al clínico del diagnóstico de laboratorio de anemias potencialmente graves en pacientes ambulatorios puede influir en la decisión de derivación de estos pacientes a los servicios de urgencias. Material y métodos. Mediante un protocolo basado en pruebas de laboratorio de hematología y bioquímica habitual, se procedió al diagnóstico en el mismo día de la extracción de la muestra de todas las anemias con hemoglobina (Hb) inferior a 80g/l durante un año. En el mismo día se informó al clínico del diagnóstico de la anemia y del valor de la Hb (grupo de estudio) o únicamente del valor de la Hb (grupo control). Resultados. Se envió a urgencias a 18 de 89 pacientes del grupo de estudio (20%) y a 42 de 91 pacientes del grupo control (46%) (p=0,0003). Los pacientes enviados a urgencias del grupo de estudio tenían una Hb de 69±1,1g/l y los del grupo control de 60±1,0g/l (p<0,001). Conclusiones. La comunicación urgente al clínico del diagnóstico de laboratorio de anemias potencialmente graves facilita la adecuada derivación a urgencias de los pacientes ambulatorios en comparación con la comunicación aislada del valor de la Hb (AU)
ABSTRACT
Introduction. Urgent notification to clinicians of the laboratory diagnosis of potentially serious anaemias in outpatients may influence the decision to refer these patients to emergency units. Material and methods. Using a protocol based on routine haematology and biochemical lab analyses, we made, on the same day the sample was obtained, the diagnosis of any anaemia with a Hb<80g/L, over one year. The clinician was informed of the anaemia diagnosis and the Hb value on the same day (study group) or the Hb value only (control group). Results. A total of 18 of the 89 (20%) patients in the study group and 42 of the 91 (46%) patients in the control group were referred to emergency units (P=0.0003). Patients from the study group who were sent to emergency units had a Hb of 69±1.1g/L, while those of the control group had a Hb of 60±1.0g/L (P<0.001). Conclusions. Urgently notifying the clinician of the laboratory diagnosis of potentially serious anaemias makes referrals of outpatients to emergency units easier compared to the communication of the Hb value only (AU)
