RESUMO

Introduction: Quick Diagnosis Units (QDU) have demonstrated their importance as an alternative to conventional hospitalization in the study of potentially serious pathologies. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate itsusefulness also in the elderly population.Methods: A retrospective observational study of the patients admitted to theQDU of the Palencia University Health Complex (PUHC) from 2008 to 2020.Different variables were compared between the group ≥70 years and thegroup <70 using Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test or Chi-square tests.Results: The study included 9.090 patients (41.6% ≥70 years), with delayuntil the first visit of 1±2 days, and until diagnosis of 14±21 days, withoutdifferences between the two groups. Significant differences were found between the group ≥70 and the group <70 in the origin of the request (fromprimary care 58,1% and 50%), reasons for consultation (deterioration ofgeneral condition 28,5% and 16,1%, anemia 15,6% and 6,5%, lymphadenopathy 3,8% and 9,8% and abdominal pain 6,8% and 8,8%), percentage ofneoplasms (25% and 13,7%) and final destination (hospitalization 6,4% and2,9%, return to primary care 38% and 45,9% and palliative care 3,3% and 0%)Conclusions: QDU of PUHC prevents the admission of 93,6% of elderly patients, with a diagnostic delay similar to that of young people, reduces discontinuity with the socio-family environment and the loss of autonomy of thepatient, and contributes to contain health spending. QDUs are useful in thestudy of potentially serious pathologies regardless of age. (AU)


Introduction: Las Unidades de Diagnóstico Rápido (UDR) han demostradosu importancia como alternativa a la hospitalización convencional en el estudio de patologías potencialmente graves. El objetivo del presente estudio esdemostrar su utilidad también en la población anciana.Métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo de los pacientes atendidosen la UDR del Complejo Asistencial Universitario de Palencia (CAUPA), entre2008 y 2020. Se compararon distintas variables entre el grupo de ≥70 años yel de <70 mediante t de Student, U de Mann-Whitney o Chi-cuadrado.Resultados: Fueron estudiados 9.090 pacientes (41,6% de ≥70 años), condemora hasta la primera consulta de 1±2 días, y hasta el diagnóstico de14±21 días, sin diferencias entre ambos grupos. Se encontraron diferenciasentre el grupo de ≥70 y el de <70 en el origen de la solicitud (desde atenciónprimaria 58,1% y 50%), motivos de consulta (alteración del estado general28,5% y 16,1%, anemia 15,6% y 6,5%, adenopatías 3,8% y 9,8% y abdominalgia 6,8% y 8,8%), porcentaje de neoplasias (25% y 13,7%) y destino final(ingresaron 6,4% y 2,9%, regresaron a atención primaria 38% y 45,9% y acuidados paliativos 3,3% y 0%).Conclusiones: La UDR del CAUPA evita el ingreso del 93,6% de los pacientesancianos, con una demora diagnóstica similar a la de los jóvenes. Reduce ladiscontinuidad con el entorno socio-familiar y la pérdida de autonomía delpaciente, y contribuye a la contención del gasto sanitario. Las UDR son útilesen el estudio de patologías potencialmente graves independientemente dela edad. (AU)

RESUMO

A 52-year-old man was evaluated in our outpatient facility because of a thoracic mass for one month. A needle biopsy of the chest mass was performed and microbiological culture showed growth of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Three months after starting antimicrobial therapy, acute phase reactants normalized, and chest CT showed a progressive reduction in the size of the phlegmon. To our knowledge, we report the first case of A. actinomycetemcomitans diaphragmatic and chest wall infection without pulmonary involvement. This supports the theory of hematogenous spread of the germ from oral mucosa to produce thoracic lesions.
