ABSTRACT

Introducción: La desnutrición hospitalaria en el paciente oncológico digestivo subsidiario de cirugía tiene una elevada prevalencia y supone un aumento de las complicaciones postquirúrgicas, de la estancia hospitalaria y de los costes asociados a esta.Objetivos: El objetivo principal es analizar si la intervención nutricional pre-cirugía en pacientes con cáncer digestivo tiene impacto en la estancia hospitalaria. Los objetivos secundarios son analizar el estado nutricional antes de la cirugía, ver si existe correlación entre los marcadores analíticos nutricionales y la duración de la estancia hospitalaria y entre recibir intervención nutricional preoperatoria y la evolución de los parámetros antropométricos.Material y Métodos: Estudio prospectivo de 1 año de duración en el que se incluyeron 88 pacientes con cáncer digestivo subsidiarios de cirugía. Se comparó la estancia hospitalaria entre un grupo de estos pacientes que recibió intervención nutricional pre-cirugía y otro grupo que no la recibió.Resultados: Se incluyeron 47 pacientes en el grupo de intervención y 41 en el grupo control. Entre los pacientes valorados (grupo intervención) la desnutrición fue del 29,5% previa a la cirugía y del 64% tras esta. La suplementación nutricional oral alcanzó al 80% de los pacientes desnutridos o en riesgo, iniciándose en el 51% de ellos antes de la intervención quirúrgica. Se observaron diferencias significativas de menos de 5 días de hospitalización en los pacientes del grupo de intervención.Discusión: La diferencia en los días de hospitalización en el grupo de intervención podría deberse a la intervención y suplementación nutricional previa a la cirugía ya que ambos recibieron tratamiento nutricional durante el ingreso en la misma proporción...(AU)


Introduction: Hospital malnutrition in digestive cancerpatients requiring surgery has a high prevalence and repre-sents an increase in post-surgical complications, hospital stayand its associated costs.Objectives: The main objective is to analyze whether pre-surgery nutritional intervention in patients with digestive can-cer has an impact on hospital stay. The secondary objectivesare to analyze the nutritional status before surgery, to see ifthere is correlation between nutritional analytical markers andthe length of hospital stay and between receiving preopera-tive nutritional intervention and the evolution of anthropo-metric parameters. Material and Methods: Prospective 1-year study in which88 patients with digestive cancer requiring surgery were in-cluded. The hospital stay was compared between a group ofthese patients who received nutritional intervention pre-surgery and another group that did not receive it.Results: 47 patients were included in the interventiongroup and 41 in the control group. Among the patients eval-uated (intervention group), malnutrition was 29,5% beforesurgery and 64% after surgery. Oral nutritional supplementa-tion reached 80% of malnourished or at-risk patients, startingin 51% of them before surgery. Significant differences of lessthan 5 days of hospitalization were observed in patients in theintervention group.Discussion: The difference in the days of hospitalization inthe intervention group could be due to the intervention andnutritional supplementation prior to surgery since both re-ceived nutritional treatment during hospitalization in the sameproportion.Conclusions: The nutritional assessment of these patientsprior to surgery allows us to detect patients at risk of malnu-trition or already established malnutrition and significantly re-duce hospital stay by up to 5 days.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El Perú durante la pandemia presentó lamayor tasa de mortalidad por COVID-19, la más alta en el mundo, en comparación con países europeos y/o en subdesarrollo, el mayor número de fallecidos se presentó en adultos mayores y adultos del género masculino. Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre el estado nutricionaly las características clínicas con la mortalidad en pacientescon COVID-19 con terapia nutricional enteral. Material y métodos: Investigación de tipo analítico, retrospectivo, longitudinal de casos y control. La muestra final de estudio estuvo conformada por 61 pacientes adultos con diagnóstico de COVID-19, hospitalizados durante el periodo juliodel 2020 a diciembre del 2021; en las áreas de Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) y Unidad de Cuidados Intermedios del Hospital Uldarico Rocca Fernandez de Lima-Perú. La infor-mación fue obtenida a través del registro electrónico de las his-torias clínicas que fueron llenadas por profesionales de la sa-lud. Para evaluar la asociación y/o riesgo, se utilizó la pruebade chi cuadrado, Odds ratio (OR) y regresión logística. Resultados: el 65,6% fueron varones, el 40% fueronadultos mayores, el 25% presentó obesidad, el 72,1% estuvohospitalizado en unidades cuidados intensivos, el 35,7% re-quirió ventilación mecánica invasiva y máscara de oxígenocon reservorio, el 80,3% falleció. El sexo femenino se asociósignificativamente con una menor probabilidad de mortalidaden el modelo ajustado (OR = 0,03, IC95%: 0,00 – 0,51; p<0,05). El ser adulto mayor mostró una asociación significativacon un mayor riesgo de mortalidad en el modelo ajustado (OR= 32,06; IC95%: 2,17 – 472,34; p<0,05). Conclusión: Se encontró mayor riesgo de mortalidad enpacientes adultos mayores, del género masculino con riesgonutricional y estancia hospitalaria prolongada con terapia nu-tricional enteral (AU)


Introduction: During the pandemic, Peru had the highest mortality rate from COVID-19, the highest in the world, compared to European and/or underdeveloped countries, the highest number of deaths occurred in older adults and adults of the gender male. Objective: To evaluate the association between nutritional status and clinical characteristics with mortality in patients with COVID-19 with enteral nutritional therapy. Material and methods: Analytical, retrospective, longitudinal case-control research. The final study sample consistedof 61 adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19, hospitalized during the period July 2020 to December 2021; in the areasof Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Intermediate Care Unit of the Uldarico Rocca Fernandez Hospital in Lima-Peru. The information was obtained through the electronic record of med-ical records that were filled out by health professionals. To as-sess the association and/or risk, the chi-square test, Oddsratio (OR) and logistic regression were used.Results: 65.6% were male, 40% were older adults, 25%presented obesity, 72.1% were hospitalized in intensive careunits, 35.7% required invasive mechanical ventilation andoxygen mask with reservoir, 80. 3% died. The female sex wassignificantly associated with a lower probability of mortality inthe adjusted model (OR = 0.03, 95%CI: 0.00 – 0.51,p<0.05). Being older showed a significant association with ahigher risk of mortality in the adjusted model (OR = 32.06,95%CI: 2.17 – 472.34, p<0.05).Conclusion: A higher risk of mortality was found in elderlymale patients with nutritional risk and prolonged hospital staywith enteral nutritional therapy (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introduction: the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form test (MNA-SF) is valid for malnutrition screening and diagnosis of older adults, but few studies evaluated if it predicts hospital length of stay (LOS) and were conducted in long-term care units. Objective: this study aims to evaluate the criterion and predictive validity of MNA-SF. Methods: a prospective observational study was conducted in older adults from a long-term care unity. MNA Long Form test (MNA-LF) and MNA-SF were applied, at admission and at discharge. Percentage of agreement, kappa and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) were determined. Sensitivity and specificity of MNA-SF were calculated. The independent association of MNA-SF with LOS (adjustment for Charlson index, sex, age, education) was assessed by Cox regression analysis [results presented as hazard ratio (HR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI)]. Results: this sample is composed of 109 older adults (62.4 % women), aged 66-102 years. According to MNA-SF at admission, 7.3 % of participants presented normal nutrition status, 55.1 % were at risk of malnutrition and 37.6 % were malnourished. Agreement, kappa and ICC were 83.5 %, 0.692 and 0.768 at admission, and 80.9 %, 0.649 and 0.752 at discharge. MNA-SF sensitivities were 96.7 % at admission and 92.9 % at discharge; specificities were 88.9 % and 89.5 %, at admission and at discharge. According to MNA-SF at discharge, being at risk of malnutrition (HR = 0.170, 95 % CI: 0.055-0.528) or malnourished (HR = 0.059, 95 % CI: 0.016-0.223) lowered the odds of being discharged to home or to usual residence. Conclusions: a high agreement was found between MNA-LF and MNA-SF. MNA-SF revealed high sensitivities and specificities. An independent association was found between risk of malnutrition or malnutrition by MNA-SF and LOS. The use of MNA-SF instead of MNA-LF should be considered in long-term care units given its criterion and predictive validity.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: en todo paciente hospitalizado con absceso odontogénico cervicofacial se busca resolución pronta del absceso, pero es necesario conocer cuáles son los factores que favorecen la resolución en hospitalizaciones cortas (1-3 días). Objetivo: determinar factores clínico-epidemiológicos de pacientes con abscesos odontogénicos para identificar factores que correlacionan con hospitalización corta. Material y métodos: estudio transversal, retrospectivo, observacional y analítico de 100 pacientes con abscesos odontogénicos en un Hospital General de Zona del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social de los años 2012-2013. Variables de estudio: días de hospitalización, sexo, edad, comorbilidades, conteo leucocitario, trismus, diente causal, región afectada y tratamientos realizados. Tamaño de muestra obtenido con fórmula para estudios observaciones con manejo de prevalencias para poblaciones infinitas, se empleó χ2 para identificar factores que correlacionan con hospitalización corta. Resultados: mujeres 56%, rango de edad 12-89 años y de hospitalización de 1-23 días; con comorbilidades 56%, leucocitosis 39% y trismus 21%. La caries causó 64% de abscesos, molares inferiores 70% y región submandibular afectada 73%. Variables estadísticamente significativas; conteo leucocitario, diente causal y región afectada. Conclusión: factores correlacionados con hospitalización corta: conteo leucocitario menor a 10,500 leucocitos, que el molar inferior no sea el diente causal y que la región submandibular no esté afectada (AU)


Introduction: prompt resolution of the abscess is sought in all patients hospitalized with cervicofacial odontogenic abscess, but which factors favor this resolution in short hospitalizations (1-3 days). Objective: determine clinical-epidemiological factors of patients with odontogenic abscesses to identify factors that correlate with short hospitalization. Material and methods: crosssectional, retrospective, observational and analytical study of 100 patients with odontogenic abscesses in a General Hospital of the Zone of the Mexican Social Security Institute from 2012-2013. Study variables; days of hospitalization, sex, age, comorbidities, leukocyte count, trismus, causative tooth, affected region and treatments performed. Sample size obtained with the formula for observational studies with prevalence management for infinite populations, χ2 was used to identify factors that correlate with short hospitalization. Results: women 56%, age range 12-89 years and hospitalization of 1-23 days, with comorbidities 56%, leukocytosis 39% and trismus 21%. Caries caused 64% of abscesses, lower molars 70% and affected submandibular region 73%. Statistically significant variables; leukocyte count, causative tooth and affected region. Conclusion: factors correlated with short hospitalization; leukocyte count less than 10,500 leukocytes, that the lower molar is not the causal tooth and that the submandibular region is not affected.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The PREDyCESR study showed ten years ago that malnutrition is a highly prevalent problem at the hospital level. In the present study we investigate the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitals of Castilla La Mancha and its relationship with complications, mortality and length of hospital stay. METHODS: 433 patients (236 men and 197 women), from 4 hospitals were included and randomised within the first 48 h of admission. Nutritional risk was assessed using the NRS-2002 screening test. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 71.3 ±â€¯0.9 years (alpha-trimmed mean ±â€¯insorized standard deviation). Their mean weight was 72.3 ±â€¯0.8 kg and BMI 26.8 ±â€¯0.3 kg/m2. The mean length of hospital stay was 7.2 ±â€¯0.3 days. Of the 433 study patients, 19.4% were defined as 'at-risk' by NRS-2002 > 3. Of the patients at risk, 39.3% received nutritional support. Patients at nutritional risk had an increased length of hospital stay (9.6 vs 6.8 days; p = 0.012) and had more complications and/or higher mortality (40.5% of complications and/or mortality vs 16.4%; p < 0.005). The OR of having a complication and/or death was 3.93 (95% CI: 2.36-6.5); p < 0.005. Regarding the results obtained in the PREDyCES® study, no significant differences were found in the prevalence of nutritional risk at patients' admission (19.4% vs 23%; p = 0.12). CONCLUSIONS: The nutritional risk at hospital admission continues to be high. Patients at nutritional risk have more complications, higher mortality and an increased length of hospital stay.

ABSTRACT

Introducción Se realizó un metaanálisis para evaluar el efecto de la resección transuretral en bloque en comparación con la resección transuretral convencional para el cáncer de vejiga primario no músculo-infltrante. Métodos Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en la literatura hasta enero de 2022 y se incluyeron 28 estudios con 3.714 sujetos con cáncer de vejiga primario no músculo-infltrante al inicio del estudio; a 1.870 de ellos se les efectuó una resección transuretral en bloque y a 1.844 una resección transuretral convencional para el cáncer de vejiga primario no músculo-infltrante. Se calculó la odds-ratio (OR) y la diferencia de medias (DM) con intervalos de confianza (IC) del 95% para evaluar el efecto de una y otra en el cáncer primario de vejiga no invasivo por métodos dicotómicos o continuos con un modelo de efectos aleatorios o fijos. Resultados La resección transuretral en bloque obtuvo valores significativamente menores en términos de recurrencia a los 24 meses (OR: 0,63; IC 95%: 0,50-0,78; p<0,001), tiempo de sondaje (DM: –0,66; IC 95%: –1,02-[–0,29]; p<0,001); duración de la estancia hospitalaria (DM: –0,95; IC 95%: –1,55-[–0,34]; p=0,002), tiempo de irrigación vesical postoperatoria (DM: –6,06; IC 95%: –9,45-[–2,67]; p<0,001), contracción del nervio obturador (OR: 0,08; IC 95%: 0,02-0,34; p=0,03) y perforación de la vejiga (OR: 0,14; IC 95%: 0,06-0,36; p<0,001) y no hubo diferencias significativas en cuanto a la recurrencia a los 12meses (OR: 0,79; IC 95%: 0,61-1,04: p=0,09), tiempo quirúrgico (DM: 0,67; IC 95%: –1,92-3,25; p=0,61) y estenosis uretral (OR: 0,46; IC 95%: 0,14-1,47; p=0,19) en comparación con la resección transuretral convencional para sujetos con cáncer de vejiga primario no invasivo...(AU)


Introduction We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of en-bloc transurethral resection vs. conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Methods A systematic literature search up to January 2022 was done and 28 studies included 3714 primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer subjects at the start of the study; 1870 of them were en-bloc transurethral resection, and 1844 were conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. We calculated the odds-ratio (OR) and mean-difference (MD) with 95% confidence-intervals (CIs) to evaluate the effect of en-bloc transurethral resection compared with conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer by the dichotomous or continuous methods with random or fixed-effects models. Results En-bloc transurethral resection had significantly lower twenty-four-month recurrence (OR: 0.63; 95%CI: 0.50-0.78; P<0.001), catheterization-time (MD: –0.66; 95%CI: –1.02-[–0.29]; P<0.001), length of hospital stay (MD: –0.95; 95%CI: –1.55-[–0.34]; P=0.002), postoperative bladder irrigation duration (MD: –6.06; 95%CI: –9.45-[–2.67]; P<0.001), obturator nerve reflex (OR: 0.08; 95%CI: 0.02-0.34; P=0.03), and bladder perforation (OR: 0.14; 95%CI: 0.06-0.36: P<0.001) and no significant difference in the 12-month-recurrence (OR: 0.79; 95%CI: 0.61-1.04; P=0.09), the operation time (MD: 0.67; 95%CI: –1.92-3.25; P=0.61), and urethral stricture (OR: 0.46; 95%CI: 0.14-1.47; P=0.19) compared with conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer subjects...

ABSTRACT

Fundamentos: Los hospitales de campaña, también conocidos comoalternative care sites, han supuesto un refuerzo sanitarioimportante durante la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 a nivel mundial. En la Comunidad Valenciana se abrieron tres de estos hospitales,uno por cada provincia. Nuestro estudio pretendió hacer un análisis integral de dicho recurso en la provincia de Castellón.Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo con un componente analítico y estadístico de tres aspectos: lainfraestructura, la satisfacción de los pacientes atendidos y los datos o características clínicas de los pacientes ingresados positivospor COVID. Las fuentes de información fueron primarias, institucionales para el apartado de la infraestructura y personales para lasencuestas de satisfacción y los datos clínicos.Resultados: El tipo de infraestructura que se eligió fue un conjunto de tiendas modulares polivalentes de 6x3 metros que unidasformaban una superficie de una sola planta de unos 3.500 m 2. Aunque el hospital permaneció abierto durante aproximadamente añoy medio con diversas funciones, la mayoría en relación con la pandemia por COVID (centro de vacunación, observación de Urgencias,asistencia hospitalaria, almacén...), inició su acogida de pacientes positivos debido al virus durante la tercera ola de la pandemia,ejerciendo este papel durante once días. En el hospital ingresaron un total de 31 pacientes con una edad media de 57 años, de losque un 41,9% no tenían ninguna comorbilidad y un 54,8% necesitaron oxigenoterapia. La estancia media hospitalaria fue de tres días,encontrándose una relación estadísticamente significativa entre ésta, el flujo de oxígeno requerido durante el ingreso y la edad. Lasatisfacción se midió mediante una encuesta de diecisiete preguntas donde se obtuvo una media de 8,33/10.Conclusiones: Este es uno de los pocos estudios de la literatura en los que se abarca, desde puntos tan distintos, cómo funciona...(AU)


Background: Field hospitals, also known asalternative care sites, have been an important healthcare reinforcement during theSARS-CoV-2 pandemic worldwide. In the Valencian Community, three of these hospitals were opened, one for each province. Our studyaimed to make a comprehensive analysis of this resource in Castellon.Methods: A retrospective observational study was carried out with an analytical and statistical component of 3 aspects: infrastruc-ture, satisfaction and clinical data from COVID-positive hospitalized patients. The sources of information were primary, institutional for theinfrastructure and personal for the satisfaction surveys and clinical data.Results: A set of 6x3 metres polyvalent tents was chosen, which joined formed a single-floor area of about 3.500 m2. Althoughhospital opened for approximately a year and a half with multiple uses, most in relation to the COVID pandemic (vaccination center,emergency room observation, hospital assistance, warehouse...), reception of positive patients for the virus began during the thirdwave of the pandemic, remaining active for eleven days. A total of thirty-one patients with a mean age of 56 years were admitted.41.9% did not have any comorbidity and 54.8% needed treatment with oxygen therapy. Furthermore, the length of stay was threedays, finding a significant relationship between this one, the oxygen flow required during admission and the age. Satisfaction wasmeasured by a survey of seventeen questions where an average satisfaction of 8.33/10.Conclusions: This is one of the few studies in the literature in which a field hospital is analyzed from such different points ofview. After this analysis, it is concluded that it is an extraordinary and temporary resource whose use is useful without reflecting anincrease of morbidity/mortality among our patients and with a very favorable subjective assessment.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivo La herramienta Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP) analiza las estancias e ingresos hospitalarios inadecuados. El objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar el cuestionario AEP para analizar la adecuación de los ingresos y las estancias hospitalarias en nuestra realidad asistencial. Método Se desarrolló un estudio utilizando el método Delphi en el que participaron 15 expertos en gestión clínica y en asistencia hospitalaria. Los ítems del formulario inicial se conformaron a partir de la herramienta AEP tal y como fue definida en su primera versión. En la primera ronda los participantes aportaron nuevos ítems que consideraron relevantes en nuestra realidad actual. En las rondas 2 y 3 evaluaron 80 ítems según su relevancia mediante la utilización de una escala Likert del 1 al 4 (máxima utilidad). De acuerdo al diseño de nuestro estudio los ítems del AEP se consideraron adecuados si la media de la puntuación una vez evaluados por los expertos, era igual o superior a 3. Resultados Los participantes definieron un total de 19 nuevos ítems. Finalmente 47 ítems obtuvieron una puntuación media igual o superior a 3. El cuestionario resultante modificado consta de 17 ítems en «causas de admisiones adecuadas», 5 en «causas de admisiones inadecuadas», 15 en «causas de estancias adecuadas» y 10 en «causas de estancias inadecuadas». Conclusiones La identificación de ítems prioritarios para determinar la adecuación de los ingresos y las estancias prolongadas en nuestro medio y según la opinión de los expertos, podría definir un futuro instrumento para su utilización en nuestro entorno (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Enhanced recovery after lung surgery (ERALS) protocols have proven useful in reducing postoperative stay (POS) and postoperative complications (POC). We studied the performance of an ERALS program for lung cancer lobectomy in our institution, aiming to identify which factors are associated with a reduction of POC and POS. METHODS: Analytic retrospective observational study conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital involving patients submitted to lobectomy for lung cancer and included in an ERALS program. Univariable and multivariable analysis were employed to identify factors associated with increased risk of POC and prolonged POS. RESULTS: A total 624 patients were enrolled in the ERALS program. The median POS was 4 days (range 1-63), with 2.9% of ICU postoperative admission. A videothoracoscopic approach was used in 66.6% of cases, and 174 patients (27.9%) experienced at least one POC. Perioperative mortality rate was 0.8% (5 cases). Mobilization to chair in the first 24h after surgery was achieved in 82.5% of cases, with 46.5% of patients achieving ambulation in the first 24h. Absence of mobilization to chair and preoperative FEV1% less than 60% predicted, were identified as independent risk factors for POC, while thoracotomy approach and the presence of POC predicted prolonged POS. CONCLUSIONS: We observed a reduction in ICU admissions and POS contemporaneous with the use of an ERALS program in our institution. We demonstrated that early mobilization and videothoracoscopic approach are modifiable independent predictors of reduced POC and POS, respectively.

Introducción: Los programas de recuperación intensificada en cirugía de pulmón (por sus siglas en inglés, ERALS) han demostrado ser útiles para reducir la estancia hospitalaria y las complicaciones postoperatorias. Estudiamos los resultados de la aplicación de un programa ERALS para lobectomía por cáncer en nuestro centro con la intención de identificar aquellos factores que se relacionan con la reducción de las complicaciones y la estancia. Métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo en pacientes sometidos a lobectomía por cáncer de pulmón e incluidos en un programa ERALS. Se empleó análisis univariable y multivariable para identificar los factores de riesgo de complicaciones y estancia prolongada. Resultados: Un total de 624 pacientes se inscribieron en el programa ERALS. La estancia postoperatoria mediana fue de 4 días (1-63), con una tasa de ingreso en la UCI del 2,9%. El abordaje videotoracoscópico fue empleado en el 66,6% de los casos, y la tasa de complicaciones postoperatorias fue del 27,9%, con una tasa de mortalidad del 0,8% (5 casos). La no movilización en las primeras 24h, y el FEV1% inferior al 60% del previsto, se identificaron como factores de riesgo de complicaciones; mientras que el abordaje mediante toracotomía y la presencia de complicaciones predijeron la estancia prolongada. Conclusiones: Observamos una reducción en la estancia hospitalaria y en los ingresos postoperatorios en la UCI concomitante a la puesta en marcha de un programa ERALS en nuestro centro. La movilización precoz y el abordaje quirúrgico videotoracoscópico demostraron ser predictores independientes y modificables para la reducción de las complicaciones y para la duración de la estancia, respectivamente.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La infección de herida quirúrgica causa altas tasas de morbilidad y repercute sobre los índices de mortalidad. Constituye la primera infección intrahospitalaria entre pacientes quirúrgicos del total de infecciones nosocomiales y la primera entre los pacientes quirúrgicos. Existen factores de riesgo como la clasificación ASA, la diabetes mellitus, la hipertensión arterial y los días de estancia hospitalaria, los cuales influyen en su desarrollo. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de infecciones de sitio quirúrgico por cirugías realizadas en el Hospital Dr. Carlos Canseco de Tampico, ciudad del estado mexicano de Tamaulipas. Métodos: Diseño observacional, analítico, transversal y retrospectivo de 54 pacientes con diagnóstico de infección de sitio quirúrgico. Las variables de estudio se clasificaron como dependientes (género, edad, lugar de origen, días de estancia hospitalaria, peso, índice de masa corporal) e independientes (diagnóstico, procedimiento quirúrgico realizado y clasificación ASA otorgada). Resultados: La población de 40 a 50 años fue la más afectada, con mayor predominancia sobre el género femenino. La Clasificación ASA II y III presentaron mayor prevalencia de infección de sitio quirúrgico, sobre todo en cirugías electivas (28 por ciento). Mientras mayor fue la estancia hospitalaria, mayor fue la probabilidad de desarrollar infección de sitio quirúrgico. Conclusiones: La prevalencia de infección en el sitio quirúrgico en pacientes operados por los distintos servicios quirúrgicos no es similar a la reportada por otros autores. La Clasificación ASA II y III presentaron infección del sitio quirúrgico con más frecuencia, mientras que la comorbilidad más llamativa de este estudio fue el índice de masa corporal como factor de riesgo que no debe pasar desapercibido(AU)


Introduction: Surgical wound infection causes high morbidity rates and impacts mortality rates. It is the first in-hospital infection among surgical patients of all nosocomial infections and the first among surgical patients. There are risk factors that influence its development, such as the ASA classification, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and days of hospital stay. Objective: To determine the prevalence of surgical site infections from surgeries performed at Hospital Dr. Carlos Canseco, of Tampico, a city in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. Methods: An observational, analytical, cross-sectional and retrospective study was carried out with 54 patients with a diagnosis of surgical site infection. The study variables were classified as dependent variables (gender, age, place of origin, days of hospital stay, weight and body mass index) and independent variables (diagnosis, surgical procedure performed, and given ASA classification). Results: The population aged 40 to 50 years was the most affected, with a greater predominance of the female gender. ASA classification II and III had a higher prevalence of surgical site infection, above all in elective surgeries (28 %). The longer the hospital stay, the higher the probability of developing surgical site infection. Conclusions: The prevalence of surgical site infection in patients operated on by the different surgical services is not similar to that reported by other authors. ASA Classification II and III presented surgical site infection more frequently, while the most remarkable comorbidity in this study was body mass index as a risk factor that should not go unnoticed(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND AIM: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is the most common cause of pancreatic disease in children. Previous studies have described factors related to days of hospital length of stay (LOS) in children. Our aim was to identify factors associated with LOS in AP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted at the Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez in Mexico City, encompassing the time frame of January 1, 2017 and March 31, 2019. AP was confirmed by medical chart review, according to the INSPPIRE criteria at the time of hospital admission, in patients below 18 years of age. AP grade was classified, following the NASPGHAN guidelines. Demographic, clinical, biochemical, nutritional, and treatment data were collected. Prolonged hospital LOS was considered that which lasted 7 days or longer. RESULTS: Fifty-one events (32 patients) were registered. Median LOS was 8 days (IQR 4-14 days). Antibiotic use was significantly associated with longer LOS (OR 31.71; 95% CI: 2.71-370.65; p = 0.006) and early feeding (EF) (within 72 h of admission) was associated with shorter LOS (OR 0.05; 95% CI: 0.001-0.63; p = 0.02). There was no association between LOS and the variables of age, recurrence, grade, etiology, comorbidities, complications, fluid resuscitation, parenteral nutrition, or biochemical characteristics upon admission. CONCLUSION: Our study, like others, corroborated the fact that EF in the management of AP was associated with fewer days of hospital LOS.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of en-bloc transurethral resection vs. conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. METHODS: A systematic literature search up to January 2022 was done and 28 studies included 3714 primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer subjects at the start of the study; 1870 of them were en-bloc transurethral resection, and 1844 were conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. We calculated the odds-ratio (OR) and mean-difference (MD) with 95% confidence-intervals (CIs) to evaluate the effect of en-bloc transurethral resection compared with conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer by the dichotomous or continuous methods with random or fixed-effects models. RESULTS: En-bloc transurethral resection had significantly lower twenty-four-month recurrence (OR: 0.63; 95%CI: 0.50-0.78; p < 0.001), catheterization-time (MD: -0.66; 95%CI: -1.02-[-0.29]; p < 0.001), length of hospital stay (MD: -0.95; 95%CI: -1.55-[-0.34]; p = 0.002), postoperative bladder irrigation duration (MD: -6.06; 95%CI: -9.45-[-2.67]; p < 0.001), obturator nerve reflex (OR: 0.08; 95%CI: 0.02-0.34; p = 0.03), and bladder perforation (OR: 0.14; 95%CI: 0.06-0.36: p < 0.001) and no significant difference in the 12-month-recurrence (OR: 0.79; 95%CI: 0.61-1.04; p = 0.09), the operation time (MD: 0.67; 95%CI: -1.92 to 3.25; p = 0.61), and urethral stricture (OR: 0.46; 95%CI: 0.14-1.47; p = 0.0.19) compared with conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer subjects. CONCLUSIONS: En-bloc transurethral resection had a significantly lower twenty-four-month recurrence, catheterization time, length of hospital stay, postoperative bladder irrigation duration, obturator nerve reflex, bladder perforation, and no significant difference in the twelve-month recurrence, operation time, and urethral stricture compared with conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer subjects. Further studies are required.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El objetivo del presente estudio es correlacionar los días de estancia hospitalaria con el índice neutrófilo-linfocitico (INL) como biomarcador, en los pacientes con diagnóstico de angina de Ludwig que fueron admitidos en urgencias. Pacientes y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda en los expedientes clínicos del hospital, donde solo se obtuvieron los que tenían diagnóstico de angina de Ludwig desde junio de 2016 hasta junio de 2020, y que cumplieran con los criterios de selección. Posteriormente se recabaron los datos sociodemográficos, días de hospitalización, biometría hemática y valores de neutrófilos y linfocitos para su posterior análisis estadístico. Resultados: Obtuvimos 21 pacientes (9 mujeres y 12 hombres). La edad promedio fue de 43,1 años (rango: 27-70 años). Se transformó la variable de días de hospitalización: en corta estancia hospitalaria aquellos pacientes que estuvieron hospitalizados 5 días o menos; y los de larga estancia hospitalaria aquellos pacientes que estuvieron hospitalizados 6 días o más, para el INL se consideró un índice alto aquellos pacientes que se encontraran con un INL ≥ 6 y un índice bajo aquellos pacientes con un índice ≤ 5, tomando en cuenta el punto de corte con respecto a estudios previamente realizados. Se observó que aquellos pacientes con un INL alto tuvieron una estancia hospitalaria larga, y de acuerdo con los resultados obtuvimos significación estadística (p = 0,02). Conclusiones: El INL parece ser un buen biomarcador para predecir los días de estancia hospitalaria de los pacientes con angina de Ludwig. Sin embargo, se necesitan más estudios para confirmar nuestros resultados. (AU)


Introduction: The aim of this study is to correlate the number of days of hospital stay with the neutrophil-lymphocyte index (NLI) as a biomarker in patients diagnosed with Ludwig's angina who were admitted to the emergency department. Patients and methods: A search was conducted in the hospital's medical records, where only those with a diagnosis of Ludwig's angina from June 2016 to June 2020 and that met the selection criteria were obtained. Afterwards, sociodemographic data, days of hospitalization, hematological parameters, and values of neutrophils and lymphocytes were collected for subsequent statistical analysis. Results: We obtained 21 patients (9 females and 12 males). The average age was 43.1 years (range: 27-70 years). The variable of days of hospitalization was transformed into: short hospital stay for patients who were hospitalized for 5 days or less, and long hospital stay for patients who were hospitalized for 6 days or more. For the NLI, a high index was considered for patients with an NLI ≥ 6 and a low index for patients with an NLI ≤ 5, taking into account the cut-off point with respect to previously conducted studies. We observed that patients with a high NLI had a long hospital stay and according to the results, we obtained statistical significance (p = 0.02). Conclusions: The NLI appears to be a good biomarker for predicting the number of days of hospital stay for patients with Ludwig's angina. However, more studies are needed to confirm our results.

ABSTRACT

Los errores de medicación constituyen tema prioritario dentro de la estrategia de seguridad del paciente, por lo que es fundamental analizar discrepancias que ocurren entre los medicamentos que se administra el paciente antes de ingresar a la unidad de salud y la prescripción que se le indica durante su hospitalización y al alta. El objetivo del trabajo fue identificar los errores de medicación en pacientes con enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT), en un hospital de Tungurahua, Ecuador. Se evaluaron, en un período de tres meses, las anamnesis presentes en historias clínicas de pacientes con ECNT, al ingreso al servicio de emergencia y durante la estancia, traslados intra hospitalarios y el alta; a fin de identificar y clasificar errores encontrados como discrepancias o errores de conciliación. Se encontraron que, de 154 historias clínicas analizadas, en 57 (34,1 %) no existía anamnesis, siendo ésta última realizada de manera correcta en 58 (42,5 %) y de manera incorrecta en 39(23,4 %). Se determinaron 327 discrepancias, 218 durante la estancia hospitalaria y 109 en el momento del alta de los pacientes, siendo la hipertensión arterial en ambos casos la ECNT, con mayor número de discrepancias. Fueron encontradas discrepancias justificadas y discrepancias que requirieron aclaración durante la estancia y alta hospitalaria, identificándose en las primeras una mayor prevalencia de gravedad tipo A, mientras que, las discrepancias de gravedad tipo D correspondieron a las de mayor presencia al momento del alta. (AU)


Medication errors are a priority issue within the strategy of patient safety, so it is essential to analyze discrepancies that occur between the medications administered by the patient before entering the health unit and the prescription that is indicated during their hospitalization and discharge. The objective of the work was to identify medication errors in patients with noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCD), in a hospital in Tungurahua, Ecuador. The anamnesis present in clinical histories of patients with NCD, on admission to the emergency service and during the stay, intrahospital transfers and discharge were evaluated over a period of three months; in order to identify and classify errors found as discrepancies or reconciliation errors. We found that out of 154 clinical histories analyzed, in 57 (34,1 %) there was no anamnesis, the latter being performed correctly in 58 (42,5 %) and incorrectly in 39 (23,4 %). 327 discrepancies were determined, 218 during the hospital stay and 109 at the time of discharge of the patients, with arterial hypertension in both cases being the ECNT, with the greatest number of discrepancies. We found justified discrepancies and discrepancies that required clarification during the hospital stay and discharge, identifying in the former a higher prevalence of type A severity, while the discrepancies of type D severity corresponded to those of greater presence at discharge.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre glucemia de ingreso y desenlaces adversos en pacientes hospitalizados con COVID-19 en un hospital nacional peruano. Métodos: Estudio observacional tipo cohorte retrospectiva. Se revisaron historias clínicas electrónicas de pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19 en un servicio de especialidades. Los pacientes se clasificaron según niveles de glucemia al ingreso: ≤ y >140mg/dL; el desenlace primario fue mortalidad y el secundario un compuesto que incluyó mortalidad, shock séptico, ventilación mecánica o traslado a UCI. Se evaluó la estancia hospitalaria y se realizó un subanálisis de regresión logística multivariada en pacientes diabéticos. Resultados: Se evaluaron 169 pacientes, media de edad 61 años, 64.5% varones. 71% presentaban alguna comorbilidad, siendo las más frecuentes: hipertensión arterial (34%), obesidad (30%), diabetes (26%). El 70% presentó gravedad tomográfica. La mediana de glucemia de ingreso fue 126.5mg/dL (RIC: 109-157mg/dL), uno de cada 3 presentó glucemia >140mg/dL. La tasa de mortalidad fue 9700 muertes por cada 100 000 personas-semana, con frecuencia de 21.3%. No se encontró diferencia significativa entre hiperglucemia y normoglucemia, tanto en mortalidad como desenlace compuesto. Los pacientes con hiperglucemia de ingreso presentaron mayor estancia hospitalaria que los normoglucémicos (19 días vs 13 días, p180mg/dL presentó OR de 6.42 (IC95%: 1.07-38.6), ajustado a edad y a gravedad clínica de ingreso. Conclusiones: La hiperglucemia al ingreso se asoció a mayor estancia hospitalaria, y los pacientes diabéticos con hiperglucemia >180mg/dL presentaron un riesgo 6 veces mayor de presentar desenlace adverso.


Objective: Evaluate the association between glycemia on admission and adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID19 in a Peruvian national hospital. Methods: Retrospective, observational cohort study. We collected data from electronic medical records of COVID19 patients in a medical specialties service. Patients were classified according to blood glucose levels on admission: ≤ and >140mg/dL. Primary outcome was mortality, and the secondary a composite that included mortality, septic shock, mechanical ventilation, or transfer to ICU. We also evaluated hospital stay and a multivariate logistic regression sub analysis was performed in diabetic patients. Results: 169 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 61 years, 64.5% were male. 71% had at least one comorbidity, the most frequent: arterial hypertension (34%), obesity (30%) and diabetes (26%). 70% presented tomographic gravity. Median blood glucose at admission was 126.5mg/dL (IQR: 109-157mg/dL), one of every 3 had blood glucose levels >140mg/dL. Mortality rate was 9700 deaths per 100000 person-weeks, with a frequency of 21.3%. No significant difference was found between hyperglycemia and normoglycemia, mortality and in composite outcome. Patients with hyperglycemia on admission had longer hospital stay than normoglycemic patients (19 vs 13 days, p180mg/dL presented OR of 6.42 (95% CI: 1.07-38.6) for composite outcome, adjusted for age and clinical severity at admission. Conclusions: Hyperglycemia at admission was associated with a longer hospital stay and diabetic patients with hyperglycemia >180mg/dL had a 6-fold increased risk of presenting an adverse outcome.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of the introduction of a maneuverable vacuum extractor cup on the length of hospital stay after assisted vaginal birth in nulliparous women in a hospital where no vacuum devices were used. Methods: This single center retrospective analytical study included two groups of nulliparous women who had undergone an assisted vaginal birth. The 2 groups differ according to the availability or not of a maneuverable vacuum extractor cup. The first group includes the last 54 instrumental births until May 2017, when only obstetric forceps and Thierry's spatulas were available in our center; the second group includes the first 54 instrumental births since May 2018 in our center, when obstetric forceps, Thierry's spatulas and maneuverable vacuum extractor cup were available. Maneuverable vacuum extractor cups had been available for 12 months in the second group. Results: In the no vacuum cup group, Kjelland forceps and Thierry's spatulas were used in 29 (53.7%) and 25 (46.3%) of the 54 assisted vaginal births, respectively. In the vacuum available group, a vacuum cup was chosen in 30 (55.6%), Kjelland forceps were used in 18 (33.3%) and Thierry's spatulas in 6 (11.1%) of the assisted vaginal births. 22 women (40.7%) had a postpartum hospital stay longer than 3 days in the group with no maneuverable vacuum extractor cup availability, versus 3 women (5.6%) in the group with availability of a maneuverable vacuum extractor cup, p<0.001. Average postpartum hospital stay length was 3.17±0.803 days versus 2.81±0.585, p<0.001. There was also a significant reduction in the number of episiotomies. Conclusion: The introduction of a maneuverable vacuum extractor cup in a center where only forceps and Thierry's spatulas had been used resulted in a decrease in postpartum hospital stay in nulliparous women.(AU)


Objetivos: El objetivo de nuestro estudio es evaluar el impacto de la introducción de una ventosa obstétrica con cazoleta maniobrable en la duración de la estancia hospitalaria tras parto instrumental en mujeres nulíparas en un hospital donde no se utilizaban ventosas obstétricas. Métodos: Este estudio de cohortes retrospectivo unicéntrico incluyó 2 grupos de mujeres nulíparas sometidas a parto instrumental. Los 2 grupos se diferencian según la disponibilidad o no de ventosa obstétrica en el centro. El primer grupo se compone de las últimas 54 mujeres a las que se les asistió un parto instrumental hasta mayo del 2017, cuando solo había disponibilidad de fórceps obstétricos y espátulas de Thierry en nuestro centro; el segundo grupo se compone de las primeras 54 mujeres a las que se les asistió un parto instrumental desde mayo del 2018 en nuestro centro, cuando había disponibilidad de fórceps obstétricos, de espátulas de Thierry y de ventosa obstétrica con cazoleta maniobrable (esta última desde hacía 12 meses). Resultados: En el grupo sin disponibilidad de ventosa obstétrica, se utilizaron fórceps de Kjelland y espátulas de Thierry en 29 (53,7%) y 25 (46,3%) de los 54 partos instrumentales, respectivamente. En el grupo con disponibilidad de ventosa, se usó la ventosa en 30 (55,6%), fórceps de Kjelland en 18 (33,3%) y espátulas de Thierry en 6 (11,1%) de los partos instrumentales; 22 mujeres (40,7%) tuvieron una estancia hospitalaria tras el parto mayor de 3 días en el grupo sin disponibilidad de ventosa, frente a 3 mujeres (5,6%) en el grupo con disponibilidad de ventosa, p<0,001. La duración media de la estancia hospitalaria tras el parto fue de 3,17±0,803 días frente a 2,81±0,585, p<0,001. También hubo una reducción significativa en el número de episiotomías.(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The objective is to describe and analyze how outlier admission influences hospital stay and the appearance of complications in patients with a femoral neck fracture treated with arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A historical cohort study was carried out in which the group of patients with a displaced fracture of the femoral neck who had an outlier admission was defined as an exposed cohort, that is, they were admitted to a hospitalization area not belonging to the Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology department, unlike the unexposed cohort, that included patients admitted to a hospitalization area assigned to the Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology department. RESULTS: Outlier admission was a risk factor for requiring a postoperative transfusion (RR 1.52, 95% CI 1.05-2.21; P=.035), to have a postoperative stay longer than 5 days (RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.04-1.74; P=.038) and to suffer general postoperative complications (RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.02-1.78; P=.048). CONCLUSIONS: Outlier admission is a threat to the quality and safety of health care. In patients over 80 years of age, medical outliers is a risk factor for postoperative transfusion and systemic postoperative complications.
