Análise de dados de pacientes internados por insuficiência cardíaca descompensada - impacto sobre desfechos clínicos e custos / Analysis of admissions of patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Influence on outcomes and costs

Abuhab, Abrão 03 May 2012 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: As doenças cardiovasculares estão entre as principais causas de óbito no Brasil e no mundo. Dentre as doenças cardiovasculares, a insuficiência cardíaca (IC) participa de maneira importante para morbi-mortalidade por ser via final de todas as entidades que acometem o coração. A internação hospitalar constitui momento crucial no tratamento e sobrevida dos pacientes com IC. Neste momento, em que o estado da doença atinge seu período mais crítico, é de grande importância o conhecimento dos pacientes com maior risco, que necessitam de cuidados mais intensos. No entanto, a apuração dos custos hospitalares é tarefa difícil, principalmente nas situações de alta complexidade, onde a utilização de recursos nos diversos setores do hospital, materiais e medicamentos, é muito heterogênea. Assim, a busca de variáveis clínicas capazes de ajudar a identificar os pacientes com maior risco, morbidade hospitalar (e conseqüente maior tempo de internação), e o custo destas internações foram o escopo deste estudo. OBJETIVO: primariamente, identificar variáveis clínicas capazes de predizer prognóstico de sobrevida e custos de internação numa população de pacientes internados por IC. Secundariamente, determinar custo mediano destas internações, correlacionando os as variáveis clínicas, de etiologia da cardiopatia de base, e com o perfil hemodinâmico na admissão hospitalar. Visamos ainda projetar os dados da Instituição no modelo de regressão por árvore de decisão proposto pelo estudo ADHERE. MÉTODOS: Realizamos um estudo retrospectivo na qual foram analisados dados consecutivos referentes a internações de pacientes que chegaram ao Pronto Socorro do InCor e permaneceram no Hospital por mais de 24 horas, sendo internados nos anos de 2006 e 2007. Foram avaliados dados clínicos na chegada ao pronto atendimento e evolutivos durante a internação. Foi realizada avaliação de custo da doença durante internação hospitalar através de modelo misto de análises de custos diretos contabilizados por absorção total e rateio dos setores de apoio. Análises estatísticas incluíram modelos de: regressão de proporcional de Cox para variáveis de morbidade-permanência hospitalar, regressão logística para variáveis de mortalidade hospitalar, e regressão através de árvores de decisão para definição de variáveis prioritárias. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliadas 577 internações de pacientes diferentes, sendo 60% do sexo masculino, e idade mediana de 69 anos (57-77). As principais variáveis clínicas preditoras de tempo de internação para nossa população foram: perfil hemodinâmico C, necessidade de dobutamina, ventilação mecânica, ou antibióticos. As principais variáveis clínicas preditoras de mortalidade foram: fração de ejeção, pressão arterial sistólica, clearence estimado de creatinina, ocorrência de infecção hospitalar, e a necessidade de dobutamina, noradrenalina, ou cateteres centrais. Todas estas variáveis compuseram os modelos de regressão. O custo mediano das internações foi de R$ 4.450 (1.353 - 13.432), sendo o fator independente na análise multivariada, o tempo de internação hospitalar, que teve mediana de 5 dias (2-13). A mortalidade hospitalar geral foi de 132 pacientes (23%). CONCLUSÃO: As variáveis clínicas preditoras de tempo de internação para nossa população foram: perfil hemodinâmico, necessidade de dobutamina, ventilação mecânica, ou antibióticos. As variáveis clínicas preditoras de mortalidade foram a fração de ejeção, a pressão arterial sistólica, o clearence estimado de creatinina, a ocorrência de infecção hospitalar, e a necessidade de dobutamina, noradrenalina, ou cateteres centrais. Estas variáveis foram diferentes daquelas apontadas por outros estudos. A etiologia chagásica se correlacionou à maior incidência de choque cardiogênico, caracterizando assim maiores taxas de mortalidade, tempo de permanência, e custos frente às outras etiologias. A presença de choque cardiogênico na entrada se correlacionou a altas taxas de mortalidade, internações mais prolongadas, e maiores de custos de internação. O modelo descrito pelo estudo ADHERE pôde ser aplicado em nossa população, porém, propusemos outro modelo de árvore de decisão composto pelas variáveis: presença de choque cardiogênico uréia sérica, e pressão arterial sistólica, que apresentou maior acurácia em relação ao desfecho mortalidade hospitalar. O custo das internações variou muito de acordo com a evolução clínica dos pacientes, e conseqüentemente, seu tempo de internação hospitalar. No caso de pacientes atendidos pelo SUS, menos de um terço das internações tiveram custos inferiores ao valor médio das AIHs pagas por internações de pacientes com IC. / BACKGROUND: Heart diseases are the main mortality cause in Brazil and the rest of the world. Among those diseases, heart failure (HF) is utmost importance because it is the final pathway for overall heart diseases. Acute decompensate HF is a crucial situation while treating this disease because of its severity. At this critical time, stratification of risk is imperative in order to determine care. Hospital costs determination, however, is difficult in high complexity situations that use resources in a heterogeneity manner. The look for the clinical variables that could identify patients at higher risk for morbidity (and length of stay), mortality, and costs were the main aims of this study. OBJECTIVES: primarily to identify clinical variable able to predict survive and costs in a population of patients admitted by HF. Secondarily, determine median costs for the admissions, correlating these values to clinical variables, etiologies of HF, and hemodynamic profile at entrance. We aimed also to run our data in the tree regression model previously proposed by the ADHERE registry. METHODS: we reviewed consecutively 577 admissions records of different patients admitted by acute decompensated heart failure that stayed for more than 24 hours at the hospital during 2006 and 2007. Clinical data at the admissions and in-hospital follow-up data were analyzed. Costs analysis was performed through a mix model of microcosting (for direct resources) and average costing (for indirect resources). Statistical analysis included regression models as follows: Cox proportional for length of stay variables, logistic for hospital mortality, and classification and regression tree for defining priority variables. RESULTS: among the 577 patients, 60% were men; median age was 69 years (57- 77). The main predictor variables for length of stay were as follows: C hemodynamic profile, need for dobutamine, mechanic ventilation, or antibiotics. The main predictor variables for mortality were as follows: ejection fraction, systolic blood pressure, estimated creatinine clearance, occurrence of hospital infections, and need for dobutamine, norepinephrine, or central catheters. All these variables composed the regression models. Median admission cost was R$ 4.450 (1.353 13.432). Length of stay was an independent factor for predicting costs, with median of 5 days (2-13). Inhospital mortality rate was 23% (132 patients). CONCLUSION: The main predictor variables for length of stay were as follows: hemodynamic profile, need for dobutamine, mechanic ventilation, or antibiotics. The main predictor variables for mortality were as follows: ejection fraction, systolic blood pressure, estimated creatinine clearance, occurrence of hospital infections, and need for dobutamine, norepinephrine, or central catheters. These variables differ from other studies that evaluated similar outcomes. Chagas heart disease etiology was correlated to higher rates of cardiogenic shock, mortality rates, length of stay, and costs. The model used in the ADHERE registry could be used in our population; however, we proposed another variables integrating the regression and classification tree (systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen, and hemodynamic profile C). This model presented greater accuracy for hospital mortality in our population. The cost of admissions ranged according to clinical evolution of the patients, and as consequence of length of stay. Less than a third of the admissions reimbursed by the government had their costs below the mean estimated value for reimbursement

The Impact of Adverse Events on Hospital Outcomes and Sensitvity of Cost Estimates to Diagnostic Coding Variation

Wardle, Gavin John 01 September 2010 (has links)
Previous research has established a consensus that in-hospital adverse events are ubiquitous, cause significant harm to patients, and have important financial consequences. However, information on the extent, consequences and costs of adverse events in Canada is limited. For example, there is, as yet, no published study that has investigated the costs of adverse events in a Canadian context. This dissertation aims to redress this situation by providing Ontario-based estimates of the impact of eleven nursing sensitive adverse events on cost, death, readmission, and ambulatory care use within 90 days after hospitalization. This dissertation also aims to contribute more broadly to the patient safety literature by quantifying the impact of diagnostic coding error in administrative data on estimates of the excess costs attributable to adverse events. Given the increasing importance of these estimates in Canada and elsewhere for hospital payment policy and for assessments of the business case for patient safety, this is an important gap in the literature. Each of the adverse events was associated with positive excess costs, ranging from $29,501 (metabolic derangement) to $66,412 (pressure ulcers). Extrapolation from the study hospitals yielded a provincial estimate of $481 million in annual excess costs attributable to the adverse events, which represents 2.8 percent of Ontario’s total hospital expenditures. Several of the adverse events were also associated with significant excess rates of death, readmission, and ambulatory care use. These results suggest that there are economic as well as ethical reasons to improve patient safety in Ontario hospitals. Estimates of adverse event costs were highly sensitive to coding error. The excess cost of adverse events is likely to be significantly underestimated if the error is ignored. This finding, coupled with the observation that the likelihood of error is ignored in most studies, suggests that previous assessments of the business case for patient safety may have been biased against the cost effectiveness of patient safety improvements. Furthermore, the observed extent of institutional level variation in adverse event coding indicates that administrative data are an inadequate basis for adverse event payment policies or for public reporting of adverse event rates.

Evaluation économique de la prématurité : une première année de vie aux enjeux majeurs : le cas de la France / Economic evaluation of prematurity : a first year of life with major issues : the case of France

Soilly, Anne-Laure 08 July 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse présente la première évaluation économique de la prématurité en France. La prématurité intervient avant 37 semaines d’aménorrhée. Elle est en constante augmentation dans le monde. Si les enjeux de santé publique sont bien identifiés, la prise en charge et les choix collectifs en matière de prématurité comportent des enjeux économiques importants. La première partie de cette thèse présente les enjeux de santé publique de la prématurité et les efforts restant à fournir en matière de prévention en France. Elle conduit ensuite une réflexion économique sur les moyens d’une utilisation au plus « juste » socialement des ressources dédiées à la santé périnatale, dans le contexte d’augmentation des dépenses de santé. Une mesure de la charge collective de la prise en charge de la prématurité est nécessaire et envisagée au moyen d’une étude Cost-Of-Illness. Enfin elle pose le cadre dans lequel l’éthique et l’évaluation économique sont complémentaires. La deuxième partie présente la méthodologie et les résultats de l’étude, consistant à évaluer les coûts directs hospitaliers et extrahospitaliers des naissances prématurées et à terme, dans la première année de vie, du point de vue de l’Assurance Maladie. Les données sont extraites du Système National d’Information Inter-Régime de l’Assurance Maladie. Les résultats montrent l’ampleur des coûts moyens associés à la grande prématurité et une relation inverse et significative entre les coûts moyens et l’âge gestationnel. Cette étude économique invite à la sensibilisation des décideurs publics à la nécessité d’allouer les moyens financiers et humains pour prévenir la survenue de situations critiques associées à la prématurité. / This thesis focuses on a first economic assessment of prematurity in France. Prematurity is defined as occurring before 37 weeks of gestation. It is increasing in France and worldwide. If the issues of public health are already well identified, medical care and collective choices concerning prematurity matters also involve significant economic challenges. The first part of this thesis attempts to present the public health issues of prematurity and highlights the remaining efforts required to provide prevention in France. It then considers economic issues on the use of socially fairer resources dedicated to perinatal health in a context where current health expenditure is rising. Assessment of the collective burden of care for preterm infants is necessary and envisaged by a Cost-Of-Illness study. Finally it presents a framework where ethical and economic considerations are complementary. The second part addresses the methodology and results of the study. The study assesses the hospital and non-hospital direct costs for preterm and term births, in the first year of life, from health insurance point of view. It is based on an extraction of data from the National Heal Insurance Inter-Regime Information System. The results of the study highlight in particular the level of average costs associated with extreme prematurity (before 32 weeks) and demonstrate an inverse and significant relationship between average costs and the gestational age (GA) at birth. This economic study invites awareness of the policy makers about the need to provide financial and human resources to anticipate and prevent critical situations associated with prematurity.

O faturamento gerado pelos procedimentos de enfermagem em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. / Turnover generated by nursing procedures at a intensive care unit.

Zunta, Raquel Silva Bicalho 21 September 2006 (has links)
Todos os países, independente do modelo de assistência à saúde adotado, têm compartilhado de um problema comum, os custos explosivos frente a recursos ou orçamentos limitados. Assim, custos crescentes e elevados dos serviços de saúde têm afetado todos os prestadores de serviços, sejam públicos ou privados. Na atual realidade financeira da saúde os hospitais terão que adotar um sistema para se ter um melhor controle dos processos de trabalho e informações precisas que possibilitem avaliar os resultados financeiros do hospital. As enfermeiras administradoras estão cada vez mais sendo envolvidas em decisões financeiras, no planejamento orçamentário de suas instituições, tendo que gerir recursos (humanos, materiais e financeiros) muitas vezes escassos. Diante destas considerações, constata-se a importância da enfermeira enquanto geradora de receita por ações prescritas ao paciente e como gestora das atividades realizadas na sua unidade, demandadas por outro profissional, principalmente em um hospital privado, onde as maiores fontes pagadoras são os convênios. Assim os objetivos desse estudo foram: calcular o faturamento gerado pelos procedimentos de enfermagem em uma unidade de terapia intensiva e calcular a porcentagem do faturamento gerado pela enfermagem em relação ao faturamento total da UTI. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, documental, com abordagem quantitativa. Foi realizado em uma UTI geral, de um hospital geral, privado, de grande porte, com 407 leitos, na cidade de São Paulo. A amostra foi de 159 pacientes. As fontes para obtenção dos dados foram as prescrições de enfermagem, as prescrições médicas, a fatura do paciente, o guia para apontamento em planilhas e procedimentos da qualidade. Foram elaborados dois instrumentos para coleta de dados. Concluiu-se que os procedimentos da prescrição de enfermagem, que mais contribuíram, foram: verificar débito cardíaco, instalar VAMP, colocar trackcare, trocar filtro umidificador, verificar pressão capilar pulmonar e fazer curativos e os procedimentos de enfermagem, da prescrição médica, que mais contribuíram foram: dieta enteral, dieta parenteral (NPP) e diálise. Em média, o faturamento recebido de cada paciente foi de R$8.918,30; o faturamento dos procedimentos de enfermagem, oriundos da prescrição de enfermagem foi de R$1.230,33 e os da prescrição médica foi de R$508,57. Em média o faturamento da prescrição de enfermagem foi de 11,3%, ou seja, o faturamento da prescrição de enfermagem foi maior que o da prescrição médica; sendo 5,4% com mão-de-obra e 5,9% foram com materiais e em média, 3,8% do faturamento obtido de cada paciente, foi da prescrição médica; desses, 1,4% foi com mão-de-obra e 2,4% foi com materiais. Obteve-se, então, que os procedimentos de enfermagem foram responsáveis por 15,1% do faturamento total da UTI. A abordagem do tema representou um grande desafio pela falta de literatura específica a respeito, além de ser uma realidade, praticamente, nova para a enfermeira que, hoje, é considerada gestora de sua unidade de negócio. / Every country, no matter the health assistance model adopted, has been sharing a common problem: high costs facing limited resources and budgets. Thus, growing and high costs of health services have been affecting all public or private service providers. In the current financial health reality, hospitals will have to adopt a system to get a better control of work processes and precise information to make possible to evaluate the Hospital’s financial results. Nurse managers are even more involved in financial decisions, and budget institution planning and have to manager human, material and financial resources which sometimes are rare. Facing those considerations, the importance of the nurses is proven as income generator by actions prescribed to patients and as managers of activities held at their units, demanded by another professional, mainly at a private hospital, where major payer sources are medical health care. Thus, this study objects were: calculating incoming generated by nursing procedures at a intensive care unit and calculating percentage of incoming generated by nursing facing the total IUC incoming. It was an exploratory, descriptive, documental and quantitative approach research. It was held at a general ICU at a general private big hospital with 407 beds in the city of São Paulo. 159 patients were enrolled for the sample. Data sources were nursing prescriptions, medical prescriptions, patient’s invoice, permit to note in spreadsheet and quality procedures. Two data collection instruments were elaborated. We concluded nursing prescription procedures that contributed most were: verifying heart debt, installing VAMP, placing trackcare, changing humidifier filters, verifying pulmonary capillary pressure and plastering and nursing medical prescription procedures that contributed most were: enteral diet, parenteral diet (NPP) and dialysis. As an average, incoming received from each patient was R$8.918,30; nursing procedure incoming, from nursing prescription was R$1.230,33 and those from medical prescription was R$508,57. Nursing prescription incoming was 11,3%, that means, nursing prescription incoming was higher than the medical prescription one; nursing prescription turnover was higher than medical prescription turnover; it was 5,4% with workforce and 5,9% with materials, and 3,8% of each patient turnover was from medical prescription; of these, 1,4% was with workforce and 2,4% with materials. We concluded that nursing procedures were responsible for 15,1% of total ICU incoming. This approach represented a great challenge due to the lack of specific literature, and it is an almost new reality for nurses considered managers of their business unit today.
