          Abstract

          Objective: to assess quality indicators related to the pre-hospital time for patients with acute coronary syndrome.Method: collection took place at a tertiary hospital in Paraná between 2012 and 2013, through interviews and a medical record review. 94 patients participated, 52.1% male, 78.7% who were over 50 years old, 46.9% studied until the fourth grade, 60.6% were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction.Results: the outcomes were the time between the onset of symptoms and the decision to seek help with an average of 1022min ± 343.13, door-to-door 805min ± 181.78; and reperfusion, 455min ± 364.8. The choice to seek out care within 60 min occurred in patients who were having a heart attack, and longer than 60 min in those with a history of heart attack or prior catheterization.Conclusion: We concluded that the pre-hospital indicators studied interfered with the quality of care.

          Objetivo: avaliar os indicadores de qualidade relativos ao tempo de atendimento pré-hospitalar a pacientes com síndrome coronariana aguda.Método: a coleta ocorreu num hospital terciário do Paraná entre 2012 e 2013, por entrevista e análise de prontuário. Participaram 94 pacientes, sendo 52,1% homens, 78,7% com idade superior a 50 anos, 46,9% estudaram até a quarta série, 60,6% com diagnóstico de infarto agudo do miocárdio.Resultados: os desfechos foram tempo entre o início dos sintomas e decisão de procurar ajuda com média de 1022 min. ± 343,13, tempo porta-porta de 805 min. ±181,78; e reperfusão, 455 min ± 364,8. A procura pelo serviço em até 60 min. ocorreu em pacientes com infarto, e superior a 60 min., naqueles com história de infarto ou cateterismo prévio.Conclusão: Conclui-se que os indicadores pré-hospitalares estudados interferiram na qualidade da assistência.

Participaron 94 pacientes, 52,1% hombres, 78,7%, mayores de 50 años; 46,9% había estudiado hasta el cuarto grado y 60,6% diagnosticado de infarto de miocardio.Resultados: el indicador tiempo promedio 343.13 y ±1022min entre el inicio de los síntomas y la decisión de buscar ayuda. El tiempo puerta-puerta fue 181,78 ± 805min; y la reperfusión, 364,8 ± 455min. La búsqueda del servicio con el diagnóstico de IAM fue inferior a 60min, y superior a 60 min el histórico de IAM o un cateterismo anterior.Conclusión: indicadores prehospitalarios interfieren en la calidad asistencial.

          Desigualdade social e mortalidade precoce por doenças cardiovasculares no Brasil

          OBJETIVO: Investigar associação entre alguns indicadores de nível socioeconômico e mortalidade de adultos por doenças cardiovasculares no Brasil. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados os óbitos de adultos (35 a 64 anos), ocorridos entre 1999 a 2001, por doenças cardiovasculares, e pelos subgrupos das doenças isquêmicas do coração e doenças cerebrovasculares-hipertensivas, obtidos no Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade. Foram selecionados para análise 98 municípios brasileiros, com melhor qualidade de informação. Para analisar a associação entre indicadores socioeconômicos e a mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares, foi utilizada a regressão linear simples e múltipla. RESULTADOS: Na análise univariada, verificou-se associação negativa para a mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares e o subgrupo das cerebrovasculares-hipertensivas com renda e escolaridade, e associação direta com taxa de pobreza e condições precárias de moradia. Quanto às doenças isquêmicas, houve associação inversa com taxa de pobreza e escolaridade, e direta com condições precárias de moradia. A escolaridade, após ajuste pelo modelo de regressão linear múltipla, permaneceu associada à mortalidade pela doença investigada e seus subgrupos. A cada ponto percentual de aumento na proporção de adultos com alta escolaridade, a taxa de mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares diminui em 3,25 por 100.000 habitantes. CONCLUSÕES: A análise da mortalidade dos municípios mostrou que a associação entre doenças cardiovasculares e fatores socioeconômicos é inversa, destacando-se a escolaridade. É provável que melhor escolaridade possibilite melhores condições de vida e, conseqüentemente, impacto positivo na mortalidade precoce.

            Prehospital Delay in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes (from the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events [GRACE]).

            Duration of delay in seeking medical care in persons with symptoms of evolving acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is of current interest given the time-dependent benefits associated with early use of coronary reperfusion approaches. The objectives of this multinational study were to describe geographic variation in the extent of and factors associated with prehospital delay in patients enrolled in the GRACE study. Data were collected from 44,695 patients hospitalized with an acute coronary syndrome in 14 countries from 2000 to 2006. The regions under study included Argentina and Brazil (n = 8,203), United States/Canada (n = 12,810), Europe (n = 19,354), and Australia/New Zealand (n = 4,328). Patients with ST-segment elevation AMI, non-ST-segment elevation AMI, and unstable angina comprised the study population. There were marked geographic differences in extent of prehospital delay in patients with ST-segment elevation AMI and those with non-ST-segment elevation AMI/unstable angina. In patients with ST-segment elevation AMI, the shortest duration of prehospital delay was observed in patients from Australia/New Zealand (median 2.2 hours), whereas patients from Argentina and Brazil delayed the longest (median 4.0 hours). Median duration of prehospital delay was shortest (2.5 hours) in patients with ST-segment elevation AMI, whereas patients with non-ST-segment elevation AMI/unstable angina showed considerably longer prehospital delay (3.1 hours). Several demographic and clinical characteristics were associated with prolonged delay overall and in the different geographic locations under study. In conclusion, results of this large multinational registry provided insights into contemporary patterns of care-seeking behavior in patients with acute coronary disease.

              Delay to reperfusion in patients with acute myocardial infarction presenting to acute care hospitals: an international perspective.

              To examine the extent of delay from initial hospital presentation to fibrinolytic therapy or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), characteristics associated with prolonged delay, and changes in delay patterns over time in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We analysed data from 5170 patients with STEMI enrolled in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events from 2003 to 2007. The median elapsed time from first hospital presentation to initiation of fibrinolysis was 30 min (interquartile range 18-60) and to primary PCI was 86 min (interquartile range 53-135). Over the years under study, there were no significant changes in delay times to treatment with either strategy. Geographic region was the strongest predictor of delay to initiation of fibrinolysis >30 min. Patient's transfer status and geographic location were strongly associated with delay to primary PCI. Patients treated in Europe were least likely to experience delay to fibrinolysis or primary PCI. These data suggest no improvements in delay times from hospital presentation to initiation of fibrinolysis or primary PCI during our study period. Geographic location and patient transfer were the strongest predictors of prolonged delay time, suggesting that improvements in modifiable healthcare system factors can shorten delay to reperfusion therapy even further.
