Prediction of inpatient pressure ulcers based on routine healthcare data using machine learning methodology

Walther, Felix, Heinrich, Luise, Schmitt, Jochen, Roessler, Martin, Eberlein-Gonska, Maria 19 April 2024 (has links)
Despite the relevance of pressure ulcers (PU) in inpatient care, the predictive power and role of care-related risk factors (e.g. anesthesia) remain unclear. We investigated the predictability of PU incidence and its association with multiple care variables. We included all somatic cases between 2014 and 2018 with length of stay ≥ 2d in a German university hospital. For regression analyses and prediction we used Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) as nonparametric modeling approach. To assess predictive accuracy, we compared BART, random forest, logistic regression (LR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) using area under the curve (AUC), confusion matrices and multiple indicators of predictive performance (e.g. sensitivity, specificity, F1, positive/ negative predictive value) in the full dataset and subgroups. Analysing 149,006 cases revealed high predictive variable importance and associations between incident PU and ventilation, age, anesthesia (≥ 1 h) and number of care-involved wards. Despite high AUCs (range 0.89–0.90), many false negative predictions led to low sensitivity (range 0.04–0.10). Ventilation, age, anesthesia and number of care-involved wards were associated with incident PU. Using anesthesia as a proxy for immobility, an hourly repositioning is indicated. The low sensitivity indicates major challenges for correctly predicting PU based on routine data.

Percepção de idosos atendidos em uma unidade de estratégia saúde da família: abordagem etnográfica / Elderly percepton assisted in a Family Health Strategy Unit: ethnographic approach

Quintans, Jeane Roza 30 May 2016 (has links)
Introdução: A atual mudança do perfil etário da população brasileira tem afetado a dinâmica dos sistemas de saúde, sociais, econômicos e políticos existentes, indicando a necessidade da articulação entre esses setores e o fortalecimento de políticas que proporcionem situação de independência aos idosos. Assim, a atenção primária vem sendo considerada uma importante estratégia, devendo apresentar acessibilidade e adaptação às necessidades dos idosos. Objetivos: Compreender a percepção de idosos atendidos em uma Unidade de Estratégia de Saúde da Família, do Município de São Paulo, acerca do processo de envelhecimento e conhecer as necessidades de saúde autorreferidas por esse grupo social. Percurso metodológico: Estudo qualitativo de abordagem etnográfica, cujo cenário cultural foi uma Unidade de Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF). Os participantes foram dez idosos atendidos na referida ESF. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas e da observação participante, no período de junho de 2015 a janeiro de 2016. Os achados foram apresentados na forma de narrativa e analisados segundo Minayo e à luz do referencial teórico da Resiliência e do Envelhecimento Ativo. Resultados: Das narrativas emergiram cinco categorias culturais, a saber: a percepção do envelhecimento e da velhice; a violência ao idoso; o ostracismo social; o acesso aos serviços de saúde e social: fatores dificultadores; a avaliação da ESF. A percepção do envelhecimento esteve associada à diminuição da capacidade funcional e às limitações físicas e cognitivas. Esse processo remeteu aos idosos a consciência da finitude e do luto antecipado, que afetou a perspectiva de vida desestimulando a realização de ações que proporcionassem bem-estar. Os discursos apresentaram, ainda, a problemática da violência por meio de abuso financeiro e abandono de familiares e dos setores formais, favorecendo o sentimento de solidão e de improdutividade. Esses componentes destacaram os fatores de riscos que interferiram no processo de resiliência, como a falta de acesso aos recursos necessários para o suprimento das necessidades sociais e de saúde, impossibilitando a continuidade de cuidado e a piora do quadro clínico. Considerações finais: O estudo permitiu identificar a percepção e as necessidades sociais e de saúde dos idosos. A falta de acesso aos serviços afetou a dinâmica social e familiar, a saúde e o bem-estar dos participantes. Assim, os serviços de atenção aos idosos precisam atuar diretamente sobre os determinantes que favorecem o Envelhecimento Ativo, por meio de ações que potencializem o bem-estar físico, social e mental ao longo de toda a vida. / Introduction: The change of population age profile in Brazil influences the dynamics of existing systems such as health, social, economic and political, suggesting the need for articulation between services and strengthening of policies that provide independence of the elderly. The primary health care is an important resource and must present accessibility and adaptation to the elder`s needs. Objective: Understanding the perception of aging process, of elderly treated in Family Health Strategy Service of São Paulo city and to know the health needs self-reported by this social group. Methods: Qualitative study using an ethnographic approach, focusing on the cultural scenario of the Family Health Strategy Unit (FHS). The participants in this study were ten elders treated in FHS. The data collection were done from June 2015 to January 2016. Was taken from narratives and analyzed according to Minayo, resilience theory and Active Aging. Findings: The following five cultural categories emerged from the narratives: perception about aging and oldness; the health and social services accessibility: difficulty factors; the elder abuse; the social ostracism; health and social services accessibility; FHS assessment. The perception of aging was associated with decreased functional capacity and physical and cognitive limitations. This process referred the elderly to awareness of finitude and anticipated mourning, which affected the prospect of life discouraging the realization of actions that provided welfare. The narrative presented the problem of violence through financial abuse, family neglect and formal sectors, favoring the feeling of abandonment, of loneliness and lack of productivity. These components highlighted the risk factors that interfere with the resilience process, such as lack of accessibility to the resources needed for the supply of social and health needs, preventing the continuity of care and the worsening of clinical symptoms. Final considerations: This study provided the perception, the social and health needs of the elderly. Lack of accessibility to services affected the social and family dynamics, health and welfare of participants. Care services for the elderly needs to act directly on the determinants that promote Active Aging, through actions that enhance the physical, social and mental well-being throughout life.

Cartografia do Processo de Cuidado num Serviço de Atenção Domiciliar / Cartography of the care process in a Home Care Service

Pozzoli, Sandra Maria Luciano [UNIFESP] 03 August 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Made available in DSpace on 2018-06-04T19:14:35Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-08-03 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / Introdução: A prática do cuidado de pessoas doentes em seus domicílios remete a tempos imemoriais. Desde o século passado observa-se, devido principalmente ao envelhecimento da população, uma crescente institucionalização de tal prática em serviços de atenção domiciliar, que assumem modelos e processos de trabalho muito diferentes nos diferentes países. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi conhecer o processo de cuidado no Serviço de Atenção Domiciliar (SAD) de um município de médio porte no Estado de São Paulo como componente da Rede de Urgência e Emergência (RUE). Método: É um estudo de caso no qual assumi um ethos cartográfico em todo caminho da pesquisa, participando da rotina do SAD e registrando em um diário de campo as cenas do cotidiano. Realizei também entrevistas gravadas com cuidadoras e com uma enfermeira hospitalar e conduzi um grupo focal com enfermeiras da Atenção Básica (AB). Como estratégia de análise dos dados, a primeira aproximação do material empírico foi a definição de “Planos de Corte”, isto é, recortes intencionais realizados a partir de elementos ou componentes da política de atenção domiciliar. Na segunda aproximação analítica, foram evidenciados os “Planos de Visibilidade”, cenas do cotidiano que revelam as complexas relações entre o trabalho prescrito (aquilo que a política oficial define) e o trabalho real (como é realizado o cuidado pelas equipes em suas condições concretas de trabalho). Resultados e Discussão: Através dos planos de corte e planos de visibilidade foi possível identificar problemas relacionados à gestão, em particular aqueles que estabelecem limites para o trabalho das equipes; as limitações no uso do sistema de informação; os aspectos positivos, mas também as tensões presentes no trabalho multiprofissional; os conflitos presentes no cotidiano do trabalho; as deficiências na formação dos trabalhadores; o isolamento do SAD em relação aos demais equipamentos de saúde; as limitações da AB para apoiar efetivamente o SAD; a sobrecarga do cuidador e a incontornável necessidade de estratégias de apoio ao seu trabalho e elementos do universo dos pacientes, marcado pela perda de autonomia e, muitas vezes, pela falta de perspectiva de “construção de futuro”, evidenciando vulnerabilidade humana em diferentes perspectivas, e o sentido que cada família dá ao sofrimento vivido pelo familiar dependente de cuidado de longo prazo. Conclusões: O estudo evidenciou que a atenção domiciliar é um modelo de atenção inovador, se assumido pelo sistema de saúde com suficientes recursos humanos, materiais, equipamentos, transporte e sistema de informação ágil e flexível para inclusão de informações reais. Os cuidadores sugeriram que a assistência seja integrada entre os profissionais e com os outros pontos da Rede de Atenção à Saúde (RAS). Há dificuldades para a AB assumir esse modelo de atenção e o empírico indicou a necessidade de haver serviços de apoio social para contribuir com a qualidade de vida do cuidador. / Introduction: The practice of caring for sick people in their homes refers to immemorial times. Since the last century, due to the aging of the population, there has been a growing institutionalization of such practice in home care services, which had assumed very different models and work processes in different countries. The main objective of this research was to know the process of care in the Home Care Service (SAD) of a medium-sized municipality in the State of São Paulo as a component of the Emergency and Urgency Network (RUE). Method: It is a case in which I take on a cartographic ethos in every way of the research, participating in the routine of SAD and recording in a field diary the daily scenes. I also have recorded interviews with caregivers and a hospital nurse, and I have conducted a focus group with Primary Care nurses (AB). As a data analysis strategy, the first approximation of the empirical material was the definition of Cutting Plans, that is, intentional cuts made from elements or components of home care policy. In the second analytical approach, there are the Visibility Plans, that are scenes of the daily life that reveal the complex relationships between the prescribed work (that the official policy defines) and the actual work (that is how care is performed by the teams in their concrete conditions of work). Results and Discussion: Through the cutting plans and visibility plans, it was possible to identify problems related to management, in particular those that establish limits for the team work; limitations in the use of the information system; the positive aspects and also the tensions present in the multiprofessional work; the conflicts present in the daily work; deficiencies in the training of workers; the isolation of SAD in relation to other health equipment; the limitations of AB to effectively support SAD; the overload of the caregiver and the inescapable need of strategies to support their work and elements of the patient universe, marked by the loss of autonomy and often by the lack of perspective of future building, showing human vulnerability in different perspectives and the sense that each family gives to the suffering experienced by the dependent family member of long-term care. Conclusions: The study evidenced that home care is a model of innovative care, if assumed by the health system with sufficient human resources, materials, equipment, transportation and agile and flexible information system to include real information. Caregivers suggested that care must to be integrated among professionals and with other points of the Health Care Network (RAS). There are difficulties for AB to assume this model of care, and the experience indicated the need of social support services to contribute to the quality of life of the caregiver. / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações
