RESUMO

Introducción: El uso de metilprednisolona para el tratamiento de lesiones traumáticas de médula espinal se utilizó para mejorar la recuperación neurológica en The National Acute Spinal Corel Injury Studies-NASClS. La controversia sobre este protocolo, llevó a investigaciones posteriores y un informe de 2002, lo considera de una evidencia insuficiente para ser considerado un estándar de tratamiento. Nuestro objetivo fue valorar retrospectivamente su aplicación en una cohorte de pacientes con trauma medular. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de una cohorte de pacientes ingresados en una unidad de críticos entre 1997-2007 con diagnóstico de lesión de médula espinal traumática. Los pacientes fueron agrupados de acuerdo con el tratamiento médico recibido (grupo metilprednisolona frente a grupo no-metilprednisolona). Se evaluó la variación de la función neurológica mediante la escala ASIA al ingreso y alta, así como la aparición de complicaciones médicas en función del tratamiento con o sin metilprednisobna. Se realizó estudio estadístico mediante regresión múltiple de Cox para el tratamiento o no con el fármaco. Resultados: No hubo diferencias entre grupos de tratamiento en la evolución neurológica al alta de la unidad de cuidados críticos (OR = 1,57, IC 95%: 0,69 a 3,54). El grupo metilprednisolona presentó un aumento de complicaciones médicas como hiperglucemia (OR = 5,67, IC 95%: 1,85-17,31) y hemorragia gastrointestinal (OR = 19,16, IC 95%: 1,64-223,30) en comparación con el grupo no tratado con metalprednisolona. Conclusiones: En este estudio retrospectivo, el uso de metilprednisolona en pacientes con lesión aguda de la médula espinal no se asocia con una mejoría en el resultado de la función neurológica al alta en la unidad de críticos y un mayor riesgo de complicaciones metabólicas (AU)


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Methylprednisolone was used to improve neurologic recovery from spinal cord injury in the National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Studies (NASCIS). Debate over this use led to further research and a 2002 report stating that there was insufficient evidence to support this application as a standard therapy. Our aim was to retrospectively assess this application in a cohort of patients with spinal cord injury. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) between 1997 and 2007 with a diagnosis of spinal cord injury due to trauma. The patients were grouped according to medical treatment received into a methylprednisolone group and a no-methylprednisolone group. We assessed change in neurologic function on the impairment scale of the American Spinal Injury Association on ICU admission and on discharge. We also recorded medical complications in each group. Cox multiple regression analysis was used to analyze differences between treatments. RESULTS: No significant differences were detected in neurologic outcome on discharge from the ICU (odds ratio [OR], 1.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69-3.54). The methylprednisolone-treated patients had more medical complications such as hyperglycemia (OR, 5.67; 95% CI, 1.85-17.31) or gastrointestinal bleeding (OR, 19.16; 95% CI, 1.64-223.30) than the patients who did not receive methylprednisolone. CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, methylprednisolone was unrelated to improvement in neurologic outcome after acute spinal cord injury on ICU discharge although the patients treated with this drug were at greater risk of metabolic complications (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: describir las infecciones de los pacientes ingresados en nuestra Unidad de Cuidados Paliativos (DCP). Método: estudio retrospectivo de las infecciones presentadas por los pacientes ingresados en la UCP del Hospital General de Ciudad Real durante un año de seguimiento (diciembre 2008-noviembre 2009). Se recogió edad, sexo, localización del tumor, tipo de infección y germen identificado. Resultados: durante el tiempo de estudio ingresaron en la unidad 181 pacientes. En 36 (20%) la clínica y los hallazgos analíticos y radiológicos fueron compatibles con el diagnóstico de patología infecciosa. En este grupo la edad media fue de 70,27 años (40-86), 20 (55,5%) eran varones y 16 (44,4%) mujeres. La etiología de la infección fue respiratoria en el 44,4%, urinario en el 33,3%, de la herida tumoral en el 11,1%, y otras localizaciones en el 11,1% de los pacientes. En el 88,9% de los casos se utilizó antibiótico. Los más utilizados fueron levofloxacino (31,3%) y amoxicilina-clavulánico (31,3%). Se administraron por vía oral en el 34,4% de los casos e intravenosos en el 65,6%. El 58,3% de los pacientes evolucionaron bien y fueron dados de alta. Conclusiones: en nuestro estudio, el tratamiento antibiótico fue beneficioso en la mayoría de los casos. La decisión de pautar antibiótico debe tomarse de forma individualizada en cada paciente (AU)


Objective: to describe infection in in-patients at the Palliative Care Unit (PCU). Methods: a retrospective study of infection in-patients at the PCU in Hospital General de Ciudad Real during one year of follow-up (December 2008-November 2009). We collected age, sex, cancer, infection, and germ. Results: patients hospitalized for 1 year were 181. Thirty-six (20%) patients were diagnosed with infection using clinical laboratory and radiology results. In this group, mean age was 70.27 years (40-86); 20 (55.5%) were men and 16 (44.4%) were women. Infection sites included the respiratory tract (44.4%), urinary tract (33.3%), skin (11.1%), and others (11.1%). Antibiotic treatment was used for 88.9% of cases. Antibiotics more commonly used included levofloxacin (31.3%) and amoxicillin-clavulanate (31.3%). Oral antibiotics were used by 34.4%, and parenteral ones by 65.6% of patients. Outcome was good for 58.3% of patients, who were discharged. Conclusions: in our study, antibiotic treatment was favorable for a vast majority of patients. In any case, the decision to use antibiotic treatment should be made on an individual basis (AU)
