          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: Las Unidades de Hospitalización a Domicilio (HaD) presentan diferencias en su contenido y condiciones de asistencia. La Sociedad Vasca de HaD inició en 2018 un proyecto de investigación para definir indicadores que permitan comparar la actividad de equipos que tienen contenidos asistenciales diferentes. Una fase del proyecto implicó el registro de características de los episodios atendidos y la atención prestada. Dar a conocer el resultado del registro es de interés. Método: Entre 1 y 31 de mayo de 2021, 9 Unidades registraron ciertas características de los pacientes atendidos, así como tipo, frecuencia y duración de las visitas realizadas. Se muestran los descriptivos de estas variables en la serie global y en cada Unidad. Resultados: Se analizaron 1171 episodios y 8363 visitas en 14458 estancias. (82% de estancias reales). De media, en laborable se visitó al 65% de los pacientes y en no laborable al 42%. El porcentaje de casos en cada tipo clínico varió según Unidades: patología aguda entre 12 y 48%; cuidados paliativos entre 20% y 40%; patología quirúrgica entre 2.3 y 30 %. Se apreciaron también diferencias en edad, sexo y dispersión geográfica. Mortalidad y reenvío al hospital variaron entre Unidades y también entre patologías. La duración de la atención directa varió entre Unidades entre 24,4 y 35.9 min, y la del desplazamiento para cada visita entre 11.9 y 25 min, en probable relación con el tipo de patología y la dispersión geográfica respectivamente. Conclusiones: Se constata que existen diferencias en el contenido y condiciones de trabajo de las distintas Unidades de H a D. Es necesario analizar cómo influyen en las medidas de actividad y de resultado para disponer de indicadores ajustados.

          Abstract Introduction: Hospitalization at Home (HaH) Units present differences in their content and conditions of care. The Basque HaH Society initiated a research project in 2018 to define useful indicators to compare the activity of teams with different care content. One phase of the project involved recording characteristics of episodes attended and care provided. It is of interest to disclose the results of the registry. Method: Between May 1 and May 31, 2021, 9 Units recorded certain characteristics of the patients seen, as well as type, frequency and duration of visits performed. Descriptive data on these variables are shown for the overall series and for each unit. Results: 1171 episodes and 8363 visits in 14458 stays were analysed (82% of actual stays). On average, 65% of patients received a visit during working days and 42% during non-working days. The percentage of cases in each clinical type varied according to Units: acute pathology between 12 and 48%; palliative care between 20% and 40%; surgical pathology between 2.3 and 30%. There were also differences in age, sex and geographical dispersion. Mortality and hospital referral varied between Units and also between pathologies. The duration of direct care varied between Units from 24.4 to 35.9 min, and the duration of travel for each visit from 11.9 to 25 min, probably related to the type of pathology and geographical dispersion, respectively. Conclusions: There are indeed differences in the content and working conditions of the different HaH Units. It is necessary to analyse how much they influence the activity and outcome measures in order to have adjusted indicators.

          A new method of classifying prognostic comorbidity in longitudinal studies: Development and validation

          The objective of this study was to develop a prospectively applicable method for classifying comorbid conditions which might alter the risk of mortality for use in longitudinal studies. A weighted index that takes into account the number and the seriousness of comorbid disease was developed in a cohort of 559 medical patients. The 1-yr mortality rates for the different scores were: "0", 12% (181); "1-2", 26% (225); "3-4", 52% (71); and "greater than or equal to 5", 85% (82). The index was tested for its ability to predict risk of death from comorbid disease in the second cohort of 685 patients during a 10-yr follow-up. The percent of patients who died of comorbid disease for the different scores were: "0", 8% (588); "1", 25% (54); "2", 48% (25); "greater than or equal to 3", 59% (18). With each increased level of the comorbidity index, there were stepwise increases in the cumulative mortality attributable to comorbid disease (log rank chi 2 = 165; p less than 0.0001). In this longer follow-up, age was also a predictor of mortality (p less than 0.001). The new index performed similarly to a previous system devised by Kaplan and Feinstein. The method of classifying comorbidity provides a simple, readily applicable and valid method of estimating risk of death from comorbid disease for use in longitudinal studies. Further work in larger populations is still required to refine the approach because the number of patients with any given condition in this study was relatively small.

            Worthing physiological scoring system: derivation and validation of a physiological early-warning system for medical admissions. An observational, population-based single-centre study.

            Several physiological scoring systems (PSS) have been proposed for identifying those at risk of deterioration. However, the chosen specific physiological values chosen and the scores allocated have not been prospectively validated. In this study, we investigate the relative contributions of the ventilatory frequency, heart rate, arterial pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, and conscious level to mortality in order to devise a robust scoring system. All data were collected on admission to the emergency unit. Precise 'intervention-calling scores' could then be derived to trigger interventions. Our observational, population-based single-centred study took place in a 602-bedded district general hospital. Patients admitted to the emergency care unit at Worthing general hospital during an initial study period between July and November 2003 (n = 3184) and a further validation period between October and November 2005 (n = 1102) were included. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that a ventilatory frequency > or = 20 min(-1), heart rate > or =102 min(-1), systolic blood pressure < or = 99 mm Hg, temperature <35.3 degrees C, oxygen saturation < or = 96%, and disturbed consciousness were associated with an increase in mortality. The Worthing PSS was developed from the regression coefficients associated with each variable. The model showed good discrimination with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.74, excluding age as a variable. The discrimination of this system was significantly better than the early-warning scoring system. A simple validated scoring system to predict mortality in medical patients with precise 'intervention-calling scores' has been developed.
