RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of implementing long-stay beds for patients of low complexity and high dependency in small hospitals on the performance of an emergency referral tertiary hospital. METHODS: For this longitudinal study, we identified hospitals in three municipalities of a regional department of health covered by tertiary care that supplied 10 long-stay beds each. Patients were transferred to hospitals in those municipalities based on a specific protocol. The outcome of transferred patients was obtained by daily monitoring. Confounding factors were adjusted by Cox logistic and semiparametric regression. RESULTS: Between September 1, 2013 and September 30, 2014, 97 patients were transferred, 72.1% male, with a mean age of 60.5 years (SD = 1.9), for which 108 transfers were performed. Of these patients, 41.7% died, 33.3% were discharged, 15.7% returned to tertiary care, and only 9.3% tertiary remained hospitalized until the end of the analysis period. We estimated the Charlson comorbidity index - 0 (n = 28 [25.9%]), 1 (n = 31 [56.5%]) and ≥ 2 (n = 19 [17.5%]) - the only variable that increased the chance of death or return to the tertiary hospital (Odds Ratio = 2.4; 95%CI 1.3;4.4). The length of stay in long-stay beds was 4,253 patient days, which would represent 607 patients at the tertiary hospital, considering the average hospital stay of seven days. The tertiary hospital increased the number of patients treated in 50.0% for Intensive Care, 66.0% for Neurology and 9.3% in total. Patients stayed in long-stay beds mainly in the first 30 (50.0%) and 60 (75.0%) days. CONCLUSIONS: Implementing long-stay beds increased the number of patients treated in tertiary care, both in general and in system bottleneck areas such as Neurology and Intensive Care. The Charlson index of comorbidity is associated with the chance of patient death or return to tertiary care, even when adjusted for possible confounding factors.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Avaliar o impacto da implantação de leitos de longa permanência para pacientes de baixa complexidade e alta dependência em hospitais de pequeno porte sobre o desempenho de hospital terciário de referência em emergência. MÉTODOS Para este estudo longitudinal, foram identificados hospitais em três municípios no departamento regional de saúde coberto pela instância terciária e que forneciam 10 leitos de longa permanência cada. Os pacientes foram transferidos para os hospitais desses municípios com base em protocolo específico. Obteve-se o desfecho dos pacientes transferidos por acompanhamento diário. Fatores de confusão foram ajustados por regressão logística e semiparamétrica de Cox. RESULTADOS Entre 1 de setembro de 2013 e 30 de setembro de 2014, foram transferidos 97 pacientes, sendo 72,1% homens, com idade média de 60,5 anos (DP = 1,9), para os quais foram realizadas 108 transferências. Desses pacientes, 41,7% evoluíram ao óbito, 33,3% receberam alta, 15,7% retornaram à instância terciária, e apenas 9,3% permaneceram internados até o final do período analisado. Foi calculado o índice de comorbidade de Charlson - 0 (n = 28 [25,9%]), 1 (n = 31 [56,5%]) e ≥ 2 (n = 19 [17,5%]) - a única variável que aumentou a chance de óbito ou retorno ao hospital terciário (Razão de Chances = 2,4; IC95% 1,3;4,4). O tempo de permanência nos leitos de longa permanência foi de 4.253 pacientes-dia, que representariam 607 vagas no hospital terciário, considerando-se a média de internação de sete dias. O hospital terciário aumentou o número de vagas em 50,0% para terapia intensiva, 66,0% para neurologia e 9,3% para as vagas totais. A permanência dos pacientes nos leitos de longa permanência limitou-se em grande parte aos primeiros 30 (50,0%) e 60 (75,0%) dias. CONCLUSÕES A implantação de leitos de longa permanência teve impacto no aumento de vagas novas oferecidas pela instância terciária tanto gerais como para áreas de estrangulamento do sistema, como a Neurologia e Terapia Intensiva. O índice de comorbidade de Charlson está associado à chance de o paciente evoluir ao óbito ou retornar para a instância terciária, mesmo quando ajustado por possíveis fatores de confusão.
