Poststationäres Management Helicobacter pylori positiver Patienten im Raum Aschaffenburg / Post-hospital management of helicobacter pylori positive patients in the area of Aschaffenburg

Weber [geb. Spalek], Evelyn January 2018 (has links) (PDF)
2009 wurde die deutsche S3-Leitlinie „Helicobacter pylori und gastroduodenale Ulkuskrankheit“ publiziert, in der klare Empfehlungen für die Diagnostik, die Indikationen für eine Eradikation, die Therapie und das Follow-Up beschrieben sind. Das Management der H. pylori Infektion im praktischen Alltag zeigt nach dieser Arbeit indessen ein anderes Bild. Ein Optimierungsbedarf für die Zukunft kann daraus abgeleitet werden. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem poststationären Management von Patienten mit einer H. pylori Infektion im Raum Aschaffenburg. Hierzu wurden 199 Patienten identifiziert, bei denen im Rahmen eines stationären Aufenthaltes im Klinikum Aschaffenburg im Jahr 2011 eine H. pylori Infektion diagnostiziert worden war. Aus den Patientenakten wurden alle relevanten Daten entnommen, wie zum Beispiel Diagnose, Indikation zur H. pylori Eradikation und deren stationäre Initiierung beziehungsweise Empfehlung an den Hausarzt. Nachfolgend wurden die 97 Hausärzte der 199 Patienten angeschrieben und um das ausfüllen eines Fragebogens gebeten. Dieser enthielt sechs Fragen zum poststationären Management der Patienten mit H. pylori Infektion. Während des stationären Aufenthaltes war bei 88/199 Patienten (44,2%) die Eradikationstherapie begonnen und bei 24 von ihnen (12,1%) bereits abgeschlossen worden. Bei den anderen 64 Patienten sollte die Medikation ambulant fortgeführt werden. Bei 77 Patienten (38,7%) wurde dem Hausarzt die Einleitung einer ambulanten Eradikationsbehandlung empfohlen. 34 Patienten verließen das Krankenhaus ohne Therapie und auch ohne entsprechende Therapieempfehlung. Die Rücklaufquote der Fragebögen betrug 46,2% (92 von 199 Patienten). Die nachfolgenden Ergebnisse beziehen sich auf diese 92 Patienten (entspricht 100%). Zwei Drittel der Patienten (n=61) stellten sich direkt im Anschluss an die Entlassung aus stationärer Behandlung ihrem Hausarzt vor. Bei 30 Patienten führte der Hausarzt die stationäre begonnene Eradikationstherapie fort (32,6%) oder initiierte sie bei 28 Patienten selbst (30,4%). 17 Patienten erhielten keine Eradikation (18,5%). Die Gründe hierfür waren unterschiedlich, am häufigsten lag ein Informationsdefizit zwischen Klinik und Hausarzt vor. Die französische Triple-Therapie wurde mit 39 mal am häufigsten verordnet, die italienische Triple-Therapie wurde 20 Patienten verschrieben. Andere Behandlungsprotokolle fanden nur vereinzelt Anwendung. Eine Kontrolle des Eradikationserfolges wurde bei 35 Patienten (38%) vorgenommen. Bezieht man die Eradikationskontrolle ausschließlich auf die therapierten Patienten erfolgte diese in der Hälfte der Fälle (49,3%). Von den Patienten mit H. pylori Eradikation und Kontrolle des Eradikationserfolges (n=35) konnten 31 (88,6%) erfolgreich behandelt werden. Die Vorgehensweise nach erfolgloser H. pylori Eradikation umfasste den Versuch einer Zweitlinientherapie, die Überweisung zum Gastroenterologen und den Verzicht auf weitere Maßnahmen. Zusammenfassend zeigt diese Erhebung, dass es einen klaren Optimierungsbedarf in der Anwendung der Empfehlungen aus der Leitlinie bedarf. Dieser Aspekt sollte zukünftig vermehrt Berücksichtigung finden, nicht zuletzt in der Aktualisierung der Leitlinie 2016. / In 2009, the German S3-guideline "Helicobacter pylori and gastroduodenal ulcer disease" was published, in which clear recommendations for diagnosis, the indications for eradication, therapy and follow-up are described. However, the management of H. pylori infection in everyday practice shows a different picture. An optimization requirement for the future can be derived from this. This thesis deals with post-hospital management of patients with H. pylori infection in the area of Aschaffenburg. 199 patients were identified who had been diagnosed with H. pylori infection during their inpatient stay at Aschaffenburg Hospital in 2011. All relevant data were taken from the patient records, such as diagnosis, indication for H. pylori eradication and their inpatient therapy initiation or recommendation to the family doctor. Subsequently, the 97 general practitioners of the 199 patients were contacted and asked to complete a questionnaire. This included six questions about post-hospital management of patients with H. pylori infection. During inpatient treatment, eradication therapy had started in 88/199 patients (44.2%) and had already been completed in 24 of them (12.1%). For the other 64 patients, the medication should be continued on an outpatient basis. In 77 patients (38.7%) the family doctor received a recommended to initiate an eradication therapy. Thirty-four patients left the hospital without therapy and without appropriate therapy recommendation. The response rate of the questionnaires was 46.2% (92 out of 199 patients). The following results refer to these 92 patients (equivalent to 100%). Two-thirds of the patients (n = 61) presented themselves to their family doctor immediately after discharge from hospitalization. In 30 patients, the family doctor continued inpatient eradication therapy (32.6%) or initiated it in 28 patients (30.4%). 17 patients received no eradication (18.5%). The reasons for this varied, with the most common being an information deficit between the clinic and the family doctor. The French triple therapy was prescribed most often in 39 times, the Italian triple therapy was prescribed to 20 patients. Other treatment protocols were used only sporadically. A control of eradication success was made in 35 patients (38%). If the eradication control was exclusively applied to the treated patients, this was done in half of the cases (49.3%). Of the patients with H. pylori eradication and control of eradication success (n = 35), 31 (88.6%) were successfully treated. The procedure after unsuccessful H. pylori eradication included the attempt of a second-line therapy, the referral to the gastroenterologist and the renunciation of further steps. In summary, this scientific work shows that there is a clear need for optimization in the application of the Guideline recommendations. This aspect should be taken more into account in the future, not least in the update of the upcoming guideline update 2016.

Patterns of healthcare utilization in patients with generalized anxiety disorder in general practice in Germany

Berger, Ariel, Dukes, Ellen, Wittchen, Hans-Ulrich, Morlock, Robert, Edelsberg, John, Oster, Gerry 03 December 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Background and Objectives: To describe patterns of healthcare utilization among patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in general practitioner (GP) settings in Germany. Methods: Using a large computerized database with information from GP practices across Germany, we identified all patients, aged > 18 years, with diagnoses of, or prescriptions for, GAD (ICD-10 diagnosis code F41.1) between October 1, 2003 and September 30, 2004 ("GAD patients"). We also constituted an age- and sex-matched comparison group, consisting of randomly selected patients without any GP encounters or prescriptions for anxiety or depression (a common comorbidity in GAD) during the same period. GAD patients were then compared to those in the matched comparison group over the one-year study period. Results: The study sample consisted of 3340 GAD patients and an equal number of matched comparators. Mean age was 53.2 years; 66.3% were women. Over the 12-month study period, GAD patients were more likely than matched comparators to have encounters for various comorbidities, including sleep disorders (odds ratio [OR] = 6.75 [95% CI = 5.31, 8.57]), substance abuse disorders (3.91 [2.89, 5.28]), and digestive system disorders (2.62 [2.36, 2.91]) (all p < 0.01). GAD patients averaged 5.6 more GP encounters (10.5 [SD = 8.8] vs 4.9 [5.7] for comparison group) and 1.4 more specialist referrals (2.3 [2.9] vs 0.9 [1.7]) (both p < 0.01). Only 58.3% of GAD patients received some type of psychotropic medication (i.e., benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and/or sedatives/hypnotics). Conclusions: Patients with GAD in GP practices in Germany have more clinically recognized comorbidities and higher levels of healthcare utilization than patients without anxiety or depression.

Beratung zur Patientenverfügung – eine ärztliche Aufgabe? / Advance directives counselling - a medical duty?

Windhorst, Julia 26 March 2013 (has links)
Am 1. September 2009 wurde das 3. Gesetz zur Änderung des Betreuungsrechts erlassen. Seitdem ist die Einhaltung von Patientenverfügungen rechtlich bindend. Ärztliche Beratung zur Patientenverfügung wird empfohlen, ist aber keine Gültigkeitsvoraussetzung. Es wurde eine Studie durchgeführt, in der Ärztinnen und Ärzte dazu befragt wurden, in welchem Ausmaß zur Patientenverfügung beraten wird, wie die Qualität der Beratung beurteilt wird, welchen Stellenwert ärztliche Beratung zur Patientenverfügung hat und wie die Finanzierung ärztlicher Beratung beurteilt wird. Es wurde deutlich, dass die Patientenverfügung als Instrument durchaus anerkannt ist. Die befragten Ärztinnen und Ärzte schätzen ihre Beratungskompetenz hoch ein. Trotzdem wird Fortbildung gewünscht. Offizielle Empfehlungen und Standards zur ärztlichen Beratung wären sehr sinnvoll. Die Frage der Finanzierung sollte dringend abschließend geklärt werden. Eine zumindest anteilige Übernahme der Beratungskosten durch die Solidargemeinschaft wird vom Großteil der Befragten gefordert. In diesem Rahmen wäre auch eine eigene Abrechnungsziffer für Beratungsgespräche sinnvoll.

Peripheral Arterial Disease as an Independent Predictor for Excess Stroke Morbidity and Mortality in Primary-Care Patients: 5-Year Results of the getABI Study

Meves, Saskia H., Diehm, Curt, Berger, Klaus, Pittrow, David, Trampisch, Hans-Joachim, Burghaus, Ina, Tepohl, Gerhart, Allenberg, Jens-Rainer, Endres, Heinz G., Schwertfeger, Markus, Darius, Harald, Haberl, Roman L. 26 February 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Background:There is controversial evidence with regard to the significance of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) as an indicator for future stroke risk. We aimed to quantify the risk increase for mortality and morbidity associated with PAD. Methods:In an open, prospective, noninterventional cohort study in the primary care setting, a total of 6,880 unselected patients ≧65 years were categorized according to the presence or absence of PAD and followed up for vascular events or deaths over 5 years. PAD was defined as ankle-brachial index (ABI) <0.9 or history of previous peripheral revascularization and/or limb amputation and/or intermittent claudication. Associations between known cardiovascular risk factors including PAD and cerebrovascular mortality/events were analyzed in a multivariate Cox regression model. Results:During the 5-year follow-up [29,915 patient-years (PY)], 183 patients had a stroke (incidence per 1,000 PY: 6.1 cases). In patients with PAD (n = 1,429) compared to those without PAD (n = 5,392), the incidence of all stroke types standardized per 1,000 PY, with the exception of hemorrhagic stroke, was about doubled (for fatal stroke tripled). The corresponding adjusted hazard ratios were 1.6 (95% confidence interval, CI, 1.1–2.2) for total stroke, 1.7 (95% CI 1.2–2.5) for ischemic stroke, 0.7 (95% CI 0.2–2.2) for hemorrhagic stroke, 2.5 (95% CI 1.2–5.2) for fatal stroke and 1.4 (95% CI 0.9–2.1) for nonfatal stroke. Lower ABI categories were associated with higher stroke rates. Besides high age, previous stroke and diabetes mellitus, PAD was a significant independent predictor for ischemic stroke. Conclusions:The risk of stroke is substantially increased in PAD patients, and PAD is a strong independent predictor for stroke. / Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

Who wants to become a general practitioner?

Deutsch, Tobias, Lippmann, Stefan, Frese, Thomas, Sandholzer, Hagen 12 March 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Objective: Because of the increasing shortage of general practitioners (GPs) in many countries, this study aimed to explore factors related to GP career choice in recent medical graduates. Particular focus was placed on the impact of specific practice-orientated GP courses at different stages of the medical undergraduate curriculum. Design: Observational study. Multivariable binary logistic regression was used to reveal independent associations with career choice. Setting: Leipzig Medical School, Germany. Subjects: 659 graduates (response rate = 64.2%). Main outcome measure: Choice of general practice as a career. Results: Six student-associated variables were found to be independently related to choice of general practice as a career: age, having family or friends in general practice, consideration of a GP career at matriculation, preference for subsequent work in a rural or small-town area, valuing the ability to see a broad spectrum of patients, and valuing long-term doctor – patient relationships. Regarding the curriculum, after adjustment independent associations were found with a specifi c pre-clinical GP elective (OR = 2.6, 95% CI 1.3 – 5.3), a four-week GP clerkship during the clinical study section (OR = 2.6, 95% CI 1.3 – 5.0), and a four-month GP clinical rotation during the final year (OR = 10.7, 95% CI 4.3 – 26.7). It was also found that the work-related values of the female participants were more compatible with those of physicians who opt for a GP career than was the case for their male colleagues. Conclusion: These results support the suggestion that a practice-orientated GP curriculum in both the earlier and later stages of undergraduate medical education raises medical schools’ output of future GPs. The findings are of interest for medical schools (curriculum design, admission criteria), policy-makers, and GPs involved in undergraduate medical education. More research is needed on the effectiveness of specific educational interventions in promoting interest in general practice as a career.
