ABSTRACT

A program for the hematologic patient at very high risk of infections (HAR, from its initials in Spanish) was implemented, based on a multidisciplinary team and six measures intended to reduce the colonization and subsequent sepsis by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO). We aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the HAR program in terms of MDRO infections mainly caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing and multidrug-resistant Pseudomona aeruginosa, and sepsis-related mortality. We established retrospective comparisons between the pre-HAR period (2016-2018) and the post-HAR period (2018-2019), in patients who received a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and/or intensive chemotherapy to treat non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia (CH-AML). We included 262 patients: 176 pre-HAR and 86 post-HAR. MDRO infection was 4.6% at 30 days and 6.1% at 90 days (all the cases during the pre-HAR period). Sepsis-related mortality was 6.5%, considering a median follow-up of 608 days: 6.1% in the HSCT group and 12.4% in the CH-AML group (p = 0.306). Sepsis-related mortality was 8.7% in the pre-HAR period and 0% in the post-HAR period (p = 0.014). The implementation of this multidisciplinary program based in preventive measures and the appropriate use of antibiotics enabled a decrease in sepsis-related mortality in very high-risk hematologic patients.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento (CIF) define la movilidad como la posibilidad de "moverse cambiando la posición o ubicación del cuerpo o moviéndose de un lugar a otro, trans portando, moviendo o manipulando objetos, caminando, corriendo o trepando, y utilizando diversas formas de transporte". La fisioterapia se centra en la evaluación y el tratamiento de los problemas de movimiento. La deter minación del estado de movilidad es un componente central de la evaluación de la salud de los adultos mayores, ya que es un marcador importante de las capacidades físicas y la independencia, y un predictor de morbilidad y mortalidad. Sin embargo, a la fecha no disponemos de escalas que representen el grado de movilidad del paciente con algún tipo de imagen visual que facilite su documentación de forma rápida y fiable por parte de cualquier profesional sanitario que trabaje en el ámbito de la hospitalización. Por estas razones, desarrollamos una escala de movilidad intuitiva basada en iconos que es fácil de administrar en pacientes hospitalizados en diferentes entornos. La escala de movilidad ProMover proporciona a los profesionales de la salud una herramienta unificada para evaluar la movilidad de los pacientes hospitalizados, con el fin de unificar un lenguaje común. Se trata de una herramienta sencilla, práctica, fiable y objetiva y de uso común por todos los profesionales sanitarios.


Abstract. The International Classification of Functionality (CIF) defines mobility as the possibility of "moving by changing the position or location of the body or moving from one place to another, transporting, moving or manipulating objects, walking, running or climbing, and using various forms of transport ". Physical therapy focuses on the assessment and management of movement problems. Determining mobility status is a central component of the health assessment of older adults since it is an important marker of physical abilities and independence, and a predictor of morbidity and mortality. However, to date we did not have scales that represent the degree of mobility of the patient with some type of visual image that facilitates its documentation quickly and reliably by any health professional who works in the field of hospitalization. For these reasons, we developed an intuitive, icon-based mobility scale that is easy to administer in hospitalized patients in different settings. The ProMover mobility scale provides health professionals with a unified tool for evaluating the mobility of hospitalized patients, in order to unify a common language. This is a simple, practical, reliable and objective tool and commonly used by all health professionals.
