Introdução: A Associação Internacional para o Estudo da Dor (IASP) tem estimulado a organização de Programas de Tratamento de Dor Aguda (SDAP) para um manejo mais efetivo, bem como avaliar seu impacto em desfechos passiveis de mensuração. Estudos têm sido conduzidos para mostrar a necessidade dos hospitais organizarem serviços de dor aguda pós-operatória, com vistas a melhora do tratamento da dor e para avaliar o processo de recuperação do paciente, redução do tempo de internação consequente ao uso de técnicas analgésicas mais eficazes. Então o objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o tempo de internação de pacientes submetidos a cirurgias eletivas com alta probabilidade de apresentarem dor pós operatória intensa sob os cuidados de uma equipe multidisciplinar especializada do SDAP comparado a uma coorte submetida a procedimentos cirúrgicos equivalentes no mesmo período, que tiveram seu tratamento da dor pós-operatório sob o cuidado da cirurgia equipe. Métodos: trata-se de uma coorte naturalista, retrospectiva, que incluiu 1011 pacientes com idade superior a 18 anos, de ambos os sexos submetidos à cirurgia eletiva de grande porte, tais como cirurgias torácicas com toracotomia, cirurgias proctológicas com abertura da cavidade abdominal e cirurgias ortopédicas para prótese de joelho e quadril. Os dados foram obtidos a partir do pontuaria o eletrônico do Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) no período compreendido entre 2011 e 2015. Resultados: Avaliamos retrospectivamente 1050 pacientes assim distribuídos [cirurgia proctológica 506 (50,4%), cirurgia torácica 216 (21,36%) e cirurgia ortopédica 293 (29,17%)]. A média (SD) da internação hospitalar em pacientes sob o atendimento do SDAP foi de 7,84 (4,41) comparado controles correspondentes sob o cuidado da equipe cirúrgica, que apresentaram uma média (SD) de internação de 9,72 (8,64), respectivamente. Foram fatores associados com prolongada internação pós-operatória a mortalidade pós-operatória, reoperação cirúrgica e pacientes que necessitaram de terapia intensiva pós-operatória. Conclusão: Estes resultados sustentam a hipótese de que uma mudança no cuidado pós-operatório de pacientes submetidos a cirurgias com propensão para dor pós-operatória intensa, sob os cuidados de uma equipe multidisciplinar especializada do SDAP reduziu o tempo de internação pós-operatório comparado aos pacientes submetidos a cirurgias equivalentes com o tratamento da dor pós-operatória aos cuidados da equipe assistente. / Background: The American Pain Society stimulate to organize Programs of the Acute Pain Services (APS) fora most efficient pain management, as well to assesses its impact on the measurable outcomes. Studies around the world remind us of the imminent need for hospitals maintain service acute postoperative pain, since it is known that in this way, through better treatment of pain increases the likelihood of establishing strategies to improve patient recovery, coupled with reductions in average length of stay (hospital), more effective analgesic techniques and potential cost savings. Thus, this study compared the long hospital stay between patients underwent to care for a specialized multidisciplinary team of the APS, with a matched cohort suffered to same surgical procedures, during the same period, which had their postoperative pain management under the care of the surgical team. Methods: This is a retrospective naturalistic cohort that included 1011 patients older than 18 years, male and female underwent to elective major surgery, with an open cavity (proctologic and thoracic surgeries) and orthopedic surgeries (knee and hip replacement). The Electronic Information Database, comprehend the years of 2011 through 2015 at a teaching hospital in the south of Brazil. Results: We assessed retrospectively 1050 patients [proctologic surgery 506 (50.4%), thoracic surgery 216 (21.36%) and orthopedic surgery 293 (29.17%)]. The mean (SD) of hospital stay in patients under of the APS care was 7.84 (4.41) compared to their matched controls, which had a mean (SD) of hospital stay of 9.72 (8.64), respectively. Another risk factor for the long hospital stay were the postoperative mortality, surgical re-operation, and patients that needed postoperative intensive care. Conclusion: These findings support the hypothesis that a change in patients undergone to surgeries with a higher propensity to have severe postoperative pain with the postoperative pain management under a specialized multidisciplinary team of APS reduced the postoperative extended hospital stay.

The thesis analyses the influence of reimbursement regulatory fee for hospitalization which was introduced in regional hospitals in 2009 in Czech Republic. The difference in differences analysis was used to study the possible relationship between reimbursement of the fee for length of hospitalization in acute care hospitals and in after-care facilities. In acute care the influence was 0,5-1 % of the length and in after-care facilities between 8-12 %. This relationship may be biased because of introduction of DRG system which may decrease the length of stay and may be differently distributed between the treatment and control groups.

Foi um estudo descritivo, analítico, retrospectivo, realizado através de dados dos prontuários de pacientes nascidos vivos entre os anos de 1951 a 2000, com uma amostra de 5001 recém-nascidos, selecionada através de sorteio, dentre a população total incluindo todos os anos do período de estudo. A variável dependente foi o tempo de permanência hospitalar e as independentes foram peso de nascimento, idade materna, tipo de parto e categorias de internação. Para analisar a tendência secular do tempo de permanência hospitalar em função do ano de nascimento, bem como sua associação com as variáveis independentes, foi utilizado análise de regressão linear com estimação pelo método dos quadrados mínimos. O nível de significância adotados para os testes estatísticos foi de 5%. A média de tempo de permanência hospitalar do binômio mãe-filho na maternidade em 1951 foi de 123 horas e em 1970, já havia diminuído para 55, 8 horas. O tempo de permanência Hospitalar não variou com o peso de nascimento, a idade materna e a categoria de internação, variando apenas com o tipo de parto. Concluiu-se que houve um decréscimo vertiginoso no tempo de permanência hospitalar no período de 1951 a 1970 independente do peso de nascimento, da idade materna e das categorias de internação, variando apenas com o tipo de parto, as cesáreas apresentaram queda mais significativa do tempo de internação, destes recém- nascido / Abstract: The objective of this research was to become known the secular tendency of lenght of perinatal hospital stay in healthy newborns, with birth weight more than 2.500g in a big hospital of Campinas (Hospital Maternidade de Campinas). It was a descriptive, analitic and retrospective study, analyzing prontuary datas of pacients that have been borned from 1951 to 2000. They have been choosen by picking them up from the total population during all years. The dependent variable has been the lenght of stay and the independents have been birth weight, maternal age, kind of delivery and economic categories. To analyse the secular tendency of length of stay for each year and associate it with the independent variables, it has been used linear regression analysis. The significance level was 5%. The middle time of length of stay for mother and newborn, in 1951, was 123 hours and in 1970, was 55,8 hours.The variables: birth weight, maternal age and economic categories haven't change hospitalar permanency, only kind of delivery has interwied in this process. Conclusion: the length of stay has decreased significantly between 1951 to 2000. Birth weight, maternal age and economic categories haven't interviewed in this process. Only the kind of delivery, the cesareans have been decreased significantly during 1951 to 2000 / Mestrado / Pediatria / Mestre em Saude da Criança e do Adolescente

Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between respiratory status and feeding difficulties in infants with NAS in comparison to full-term infants with no exposure to opioids. Methods: A group of infants with NAS (262) were compared to a group of full-term infants with no exposure to opioids (279). These groups were further divided into feeding and respiratory groups based on severity. These groups were analyzed for differences in behavior and outcomes. Results: Infants with NAS are 34.23 times more likely to develop respiratory distress and 111.03 times more likely to develop severe feeding difficulty. For infants with NAS, respiratory and feeding impairment may occur in isolation, suggesting a different withdrawal-based etiology of impairment as compared to premature infants. Conclusion: This study is unique in its size, scope, and attention to the respiratory factors involved in the feeding outcomes of infants with NAS.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Hospital readmission is of growing importance in the healthcare industry because of associated patient and system costs, impact to the quality of patient care, and hospital Medicare payment penalties. The increasing interest in sepsis readmission prevention has highlighted the uniqueness of severe sepsis or septic shock survivors. The results of this study provide insight into the relationship between index hospital length of stay (LOS) and 30-day readmissions for older adults (> 65 years) who discharged home from an index hospital with a principle or secondary discharge diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between index hospital LOS and 30-day readmissions in older adults (> 65 years) whose expected primary payer was Medicare and who discharged home with a principle or secondary diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock. Data used to answer the proposed research questions consisted of older adult discharge records from the 2014 Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD), Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Differences in 30-day readmissions between older adult age groups, gender, and older adult location were examined. The number of days to readmission since discharge was evaluated for the subset of older adults with a readmission. Approximately 15.6% of older adults were readmitted within 30 days of their discharge. Readmissions were statistically different based on the older adult’s age, gender, and LOS. Location did not have a significant effect on readmissions. Mean LOS among readmitted older adults was 10.1 days. Analysis indicates that an older adult’s LOS had a significant effect on readmissions, although models performed poorly. Findings suggest that there are certain factors that can predict older adults who are at risk for being readmitted after being discharged with a principle or secondary discharge diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock.
