Análise da fidedignidade dos dados estatísticos hospitalares disponíveis na Secretaria do Estado de São Paulo em 1974 / Analysis of the reliability of hospital statistical data available at the State Department of São Paulo in 1974

Lebrao, Maria Lucia 14 February 1977 (has links)
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo, analisar a fidedignidade dos dados estatísticos hospitalares recebidos pela Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de são Paulo. Mediante uma amostra sistemática por conglomerado em etapa única, com base nas saídas de pacientes relacionadas nos Boletins 101 - \"Movimento de Pacientes Saídos\" - recebidos pela Coordenadoria de Assistência Hospitalar da referida Secretaria, foram visitados 31 hospitais de assistência hospitalar geral e examinados 7.021 prontuários de pacientes saídos durante um mês. Encontrou-se uma perda de prontuários bastante grande (19,64 por cento ), havendo hospitais onde essa perda chegou a mais de 40 por cento . Em relação aos dados de identificação (idade e procedência) as concordâncias foram altas (97,08 por cento e 96,93 por cento ), o mesmo acontecendo com os dados administrativos - data de admissão (98,47 por cento ) e tipo de saída (99,82 por cento ). Porém, com referência a data de saída, a discordância média foi maior (7,43 por cento ), com valores de até 65,64 por cento e 82,51 por cento de erro. Alguns fatores responsáveis por esses resultados são analisados no trabalho. Quanto aos diagnósticos, verificou-se que há um aumento da relação de diagnósticos por paciente na medida em que se examina a folha de alta e os prontuários, em relação ao Boletim 101 e que alguns diagnósticos tais como anemias, desnutrição e verminoses apareceram inúmeras vezes nos prontuários sem que tivessem sido anotados nas folhas de alta e, consequentemente, no Boletim 101. Em 1404 casos (17,51 por cento ) os diagnósticos registrados nos boletins não concordavam com os diagnósticos anotados nos prontuários, havendo 458 saídas (6,52 por cento ) onde o único diagnóstico registrado era um estado mórbido mal definido, tendo sido possível reduzir, mediante análise dos prontuários, esse número para 174 casos (2,48 por cento ). Em relação à transcrição correta da saída completa, apenas 69,21 por cento dos casos estava totalmente certa, isto é, tinha todos os itens transcritos corretamente. / The objective of this work was to analyse the accuracy of hospital statistical data collected by means of the \"Model 101 Report\" of the Health Department of São Paulo, Brazil. The \"Model 101 Report\" summarizes the data on discharged patient records and is sent monthly to the Health Department by each hospital in the state of São Paulo. A one stage systematic cluster sampling of these data was performed. Only general care hospitals entered the sample. Thirty one hospitals with 7,021 medical records of discharged patients in a given month were reviewed. The mean loss percentage of medical records at the sample hospitals was 19.64 per cent , reaching as high as 40 per cent or more at some of them. The identifying information and personal data relating to each patient were correct in 97.08 per cent of the cases (age data) and 96.93 per cent of the cases (area of residence). The administrative information was correct in 98.47 per cent of the cases (date of admission) and 99.82 per cent of the cases (discharge status). Only the items of death or routine live discharge were checked. The date of discharge was in error in 7.43 per cent of the cases, as a mean, reaching as high as 65.64 per cent and 82.51 per cent in two of the hospitals. Some factors potentially responsible for these results were analised. There was a increase in the actual number of diagnoses relative to each patient after the medical records were checked. Also diagnoses such as: anemia, malnutrition and parasitosis were present many times in the medical records, without being transcribed to the discharge summary and therefore to the \"Model 101 Report\". In 1.404 cases (17.51 per cent ) the diagnoses on the \"Model 101 Report\" were erroneous. There were 458 (6.52 per cent ) discharges with an ill-defined condition as the unique diagnoses. It was possible to reduce this figure to 174 cases (2.48 per cent ) by checking the medical records. Only 69.21 per cent of the forms were considered entirely correct, i.e., with all the items correctly and completely transcribed.

Retrospektive Analyse der Krankenakten der in den Jahren 1968 – 1999 in der Medizinischen Tierklinik der Universität Leipzig behandelten Rinder

Philipp, Anke 28 September 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Die vorliegende Analyse diente dem Ziel, Krankheitsschwerpunkte bei Rindern in den Jahren 1968 bis 1999 aus der Sicht der Medizinischen Tierklinik, Leipzig, nach Häufigkeit, Rasse-, Alters-, Jahreszeit- und Geschlechtsdisposition, Behandlungsdauer sowie –erfolg aufzuzeigen. In dem genannten Zeitraum wurden 2295 Rinderpatienten gemäß der Daten in den Kliniktagebüchern unter Berücksichtigung der wechselnden gesellschaftlichen und Besitzverhältnisse ausgewertet. Im Analysezeitraum nahmen Infektionskrankheiten ab, manche, wie z.B. Leukose, Brucellose und Tuberkulose, verschwanden ganz. Auch die Puerperale Hämoglobinurie sowie die Rachitis werden nicht mehr beobachtet. Dafür stieg der Anteil Verdauungsstörungen durch die Dislocatio abomasi beträchtlich an.

"Eventos adversos e óbitos hospitalares em serviço de emergências clínicas de um hospital universitário terciário: um olhar para a qualidade da atenção" / Adverse events and hospital deaths at the medical emergency department of a major university teaching hospital: a glance at the quality of care

Gallotti, Renata Mahfuz Daud 03 December 2003 (has links)
Eventos adversos (EAs), definidos como complicações não intencionais decorrentes do cuidado prestado, são reconhecidos como um dos maiores problemas na área da saúde. Embora a maior parte dos eventos acarrete incapacitações leves, uma proporção considerável está relacionada à morte de pacientes. O atendimento de urgência é considerado importante fator de risco para o desencadeamento destas complicações. No Brasil, estudos relacionados a este tema não foram publicados até o momento. O presente estudo objetivou identificar a ocorrência de EAs em pacientes admitidos por acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) ao Pronto-Socorro de Clínica Médica (PSM) do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (HCFMUSP) e determinar as categorias de EAs associadas a óbito. Este estudo caso-controle pareado envolveu 468 pacientes admitidos por AVC ao PSM-HCFMUSP no período de março de 1996 a setembro de 1999. O grupo-caso compreendeu 234 óbitos hospitalares consecutivos e o grupo-controle 234 pacientes que receberam alta, pareados pelo diagnóstico provisório e pela época de internação. Eventos adversos, detectados por revisão de prontuários, foram classificados segundo sua gravidade, causas imediatas, sistemas acometidos e categorias profissionais envolvidas no cuidado aos pacientes. A associação com óbito foi analisada por regressão logística multivariada condicional, incluindo variáveis relacionadas a aspectos demográficos, gravidade do quadro inicial e características da assistência. Nos 468 pacientes foram identificados 1.218 EAs: 932 EAs (76,5%) em 170 casos e 286 EAs (23,5%) em 125 controles. Eventos adversos major corresponderam a 54,1% do total de eventos, com 659 episódios: 538 eventos em 143 casos e 121 em 65 controles. Os procedimentos diagnósticos e terapêuticos e os cuidados de enfermagem foram responsáveis em conjunto por 55,2% do total de eventos. Em relação ao tipo de sistema afetado, 46,0% dos EAs identificados ocasionaram manifestações gerais. Eventos adversos relacionados à enfermagem e EAs médicos representaram as categorias profissionais de EAs mais freqüentes (38,4% e 31,0% do total de eventos). Uma associação significante com óbito foi encontrada em relação a EAs major, EAs médicos e infecções hospitalares, com valores de OR ajustado estimados em 3,72 (IC 95% = 1,63-8,48), 3,69 (IC 95% = 1,60-8,50) e 3,20 (IC 95% = 1,20-8,51), respectivamente. Em resumo, eventos adversos, na sua maioria graves, foram freqüentes em casos e controles, determinando predominantemente manifestações gerais. Os procedimentos diagnósticos e terapêuticos e os cuidados de enfermagem corresponderam às principais causas imediatas de EAs. Em relação à categoria profissional envolvida, os EAs relacionados à enfermagem e os eventos médicos predominaram. Eventos adversos major, EAs médicos e as infecções hospitalares associaram-se de maneira significante com óbito em pacientes com AVC admitidos ao Pronto-Socorro de Clínica Médica do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo / Adverse events (AEs), defined as unintended injuries caused by medical care, are recognized as a major health problem. Although most of them lead to minimal impairments, a considerable proportion is related to patients’ death. Urgent care is considered an important AE risk factor. No related Brazilian studies were published so far. The present study aimed to identify the occurrence of AEs in patients admitted for stroke to the medical emergency department of the Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (HCFMUSP) and to determine the AEs’ categories associated to death. This paired case-control study enrolled 468 patients admitted for stroke to the HCFMUSP medical emergency department from March 1996 to September 1999. The cases comprised 234 consecutive deaths and the controls 234 discharged patients, matched for primary diagnosis and admission period. AEs, detected by retrospective chart review, were classified with regard to their severity, immediate causes, affected systems and professional involved in patient care. The association with death was analyzed by multivariate conditional regression including variables related to demographic aspects, clinical severity on admission and care characteristics. A total of 1,218 AEs were identified in 468 patients: 932 AEs (76.5%) in 170 cases and 286 AEs (23.5%) in 125 controls. Major AEs corresponded to 54.1% of all AEs, with 659 episodes: 538 events in 143 cases and 121 in 65 controls. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and nursing activities accounted together for 55.2% of all events. Concerning the affected system, 46.0% of the identified AEs lead to general manifestations. Nursing and medical AEs represented the most frequent professional categories involved (38.4% and 31.0% of all events). A significant association with death was found regarding major AEs, medical AEs and nosocomial infections, with adjusted OR estimates of 3.72 (95% IC = 1.63-8.48), 3.69 (95% IC = 1.60-8.50) and 3.20 (95% IC = 1.20-8.51), respectively. In summary, adverse events, most of them severe, were frequent in cases and controls, leading mainly to general manifestations. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and nursing activities corresponded to the main AEs’ immediate causes. Regarding the professional involved, AEs related to nurses and physicians predominated. Major AEs, medical AEs and nosocomial infectious were significantly associated to death in stroke patients admitted to the medical emergency department of the Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo

Increased Prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori Antibodies Among Nurses

Wilhoite, S L., Ferguson, D A., Soike, D R., Kalbfleisch, J. H., Thomas, E. 22 March 1993 (has links)
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have suggested that Helicobacter pylori infection in asymptomatic subjects is transmitted from person to person. Its prevalence is higher in the institutionalized setting. If that is the case, persons involved in patient care should have a higher prevalence of the infection. METHODS: We estimated the prevalence of H pylori antibodies among groups of asymptomatic medical and nursing staff and compared them with volunteer blood donors of similar age and sex. RESULTS: One hundred fifty-eight nurses and aides, 59 residents, 46 senior medical students, and 22 senior nursing students were enrolled in this study. Serum samples were tested for IgG antibodies against H pylori by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Sixty-two (39%) of 158 nurses were found to be positive for antibodies to H pylori compared with 114 (26%) of 441 specimens from the blood donor group. Within the youngest age group (20 to 34 years), 13 (25%) of 51 nurses were positive for H pylori antibodies compared with 19 (13%) of 143 age-matched serum samples from the blood donor group. Within the middle age group (35 to 49 years), 32 (39%) of 83 nurses were positive for H pylori antibodies vs 43 (26%) of 167 age-matched blood donors. In the oldest age group (> 50 years), 17 (71%) of 24 nurses were positive for H pylori antibodies compared with 52 (40%) of 131 age-matched blood donors. Twenty-three (27%) of 86 nurses with 1 to 15 years of occupational exposure were positive for H pylori antibodies compared with 40 (56%) of 72 nurses with more than 15 years of occupational exposure. CONCLUSIONS: Nurses have an increased prevalence of H pylori antibodies that is significantly higher than the comparable prevalence of volunteer blood donors and is evident in the youngest age group. In addition, the increased prevalence is related to a longer duration of patient exposure in the nursing group.

Use of Emergency Departments by the Elderly in Rural Areas

Hamdy, Ronald C., Forrest, L J., Moore, S W., Cancellaro, L. 01 June 1997 (has links)
Sparse information is available concerning use of emergency departments (EDs) by the elderly in rural areas. We reviewed records of all patients seeking care at EDs of three rural hospitals during 7 days in October 1991. We found that elderly people did not use EDs in proportion to their numbers in the community (15.2% versus 19.3%). Compared with younger ED patients, more elderly patients required an ambulance (40.8% versus 10.7%), more needed hospitalization (38.4% versus 11.9%), and their ED stays were longer (140 minutes versus 89 minutes). Falls/injuries (18.7%) and cardiac illness (18.1%) were the most frequent reasons for ED visits by the elderly, and relatively few (2.8%) had confusion. More elderly patients arrived during daytime hours than during the night, and more on weekends than weekdays. Also, we found no difference between patients in the 65- to 74-year-old age group and those aged 75 years and older.
