          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: Las Unidades de Hospitalización a Domicilio (HAD) atienden en sus domicilios a pacientes que precisan tratamientos de intensidad hospitalaria, que incluyen medicaciones endovenosas y cuidados de alta complejidad no asumibles por otro nivel asistencial. Objetivos: Cuantificar y describir los pacientes con úlceras y heridas en la HAD del Hospital Dos de Maig (HDM) de Barcelona durante de diez años. Método: Estudio retrospectivo y análisis de los pacientes con heridas llevados por la Unidad de Hospitalización a Domicilio del Hospital Dos de Mayo de Barcelona durante el periodo 2011-202. Variables recogidas: número de pacientes; estancias media y totales; etiología (presión, vasculares, pie diabético, complicaciones de heridas quirúrgicas, lesiones traumáticas con o sin celulitis); pacientes con tratamiento endovenoso y destino al alta. Resultados: 1111 pacientes (12% del total ingresaron por úlceras o heridas o complicaciones de las mismas, con una estancia media de 14 días de ingreso (rango 1-79), sumando un total de 16.254 estancias. Etiologías: 447 complicaciones de heridas quirúrgicas, 252 úlceras vasculares y 187 úlceras por presión, 95 heridas traumáticas, hematomas o picaduras con celulitis, 56 amputaciones con complicación o dehiscencia, 54 heridas en pie diabético sin intervención quirúrgica y 20 post operatorios sin complicación en la herida. El 92% de pacientes requirieron tratamiento endovenoso. El 2% de los pacientes precisó ingreso imprevisto por complicaciones. Conclusiones: Las úlceras y heridas complejas con criterio de ingreso hospitalario son un motivo frecuente de atención en una HAD, con buenos resultados al alta.

          Abstract Introduction: Hospital at Home Units (HAH) attend Patients than are hospitalized in their homes to receive intravenous treatments or complex wounds healing than cannot be done for another assistant level than hospital. Objectives: Demonstrate that wounds and ulcers have been treated in Hospital at Home services of Hospital Dos de Mayo(HDM) in Barcelona and record what type of injuries have been treated last 10 years. Method: Retrospective study and analysis of all the injuries taken by Home Hospitalization Unit of HDM in Barcelona during the period 2011-2020; variables collected: number of patients, average and total stays and types of wounds according to the following classification: pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers, diabetic foot, surgical wound complications, post-surgical intervention injuries without complications and traumatic injuries with or without cellulite; patients with intravenous treatment and destination at discharge Results: The 12% of patients in HAH 1111(9327) were entered with a diagnosis related injuries or complications thereof, 14 average stay (1-79).

          Wound management for the 21st century: combining effectiveness and efficiency.

          Treatment of wounds of different aetiologies constitutes a major part of the total health care budget. It is estimated that 1·5-2 million people in Europe suffer from acute or chronic wounds. These wounds are managed both in hospitals and in community care. The patients suffering from these wounds report physical, mental and social consequences of their wounds and the care of them. It is often believed that the use of wound dressings per se is the major cost driver in wound management, whereas in fact, nursing time and hospital costs are together responsible for around 80-85% of the total cost. Healing time, frequency of dressing change and complications are three important cost drivers. However, with the use of modern, advanced technology for more rapid wound healing, all these cost drivers can be substantially reduced. A basic understanding of the terminology and principles of Health Economics in relation to wound management might therefore be of interest.

            Efficacy of Hospital at Home in Patients with Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

            Background Heart failure (HF) is the commonest cause of hospitalization in older adults. Compared to routine hospitalization (RH), hospital at home (HaH)—substitutive hospital-level care in the patient’s home—improves outcomes and reduces costs in patients with general medical conditions. The efficacy of HaH in HF is unknown. Methods and Results We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and CENTRAL, for publications from January 1990 to October 2014. We included prospective studies comparing substitutive models of hospitalization to RH in HF. At least 2 reviewers independently selected studies, abstracted data, and assessed quality. We meta-analyzed results from 3 RCTs (n = 203) and narratively synthesized results from 3 observational studies (n = 329). Study quality was modest. In RCTs, HaH increased time to first readmission (mean difference (MD) 14.13 days [95% CI 10.36 to 17.91]), and improved health-related quality of life (HrQOL) at both, 6 months (standardized MD (SMD) -0.31 [-0.45 to -0.18]) and 12 months (SMD -0.17 [-0.31 to -0.02]). In RCTs, HaH demonstrated a trend to decreased readmissions (risk ratio (RR) 0.68 [0.42 to 1.09]), and had no effect on all-cause mortality (RR 0.94 [0.67 to 1.32]). HaH decreased costs of index hospitalization in all RCTs. HaH reduced readmissions and emergency department visits per patient in all 3 observational studies. Conclusions In the context of a limited number of modest-quality studies, HaH appears to increase time to readmission, reduce index costs, and improve HrQOL among patients requiring hospital-level care for HF. Larger RCTs are necessary to assess the effect of HaH on readmissions, mortality, and long-term costs.
