Probabilidade de sobrevida: comparação dos resultados do trauma and injury severity score (TRISS) com sua nova versão (NTRISS) / Survival probability: comparison of the results of trauma and injury severity score (TRISS) and its new version (NTRISS)

Domingues, Cristiane de Alencar 30 April 2008 (has links)
Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) é um índice que permite calcular probabilidade de sobrevida de pacientes traumatizados. Para seu cálculo são necessárias as informações: idade; tipo de trauma - penetrante ou contuso; valor do Revised Trauma Score (RTS); e pontuação do Injury Severity Score (ISS). Em 1997 foi realizada uma revisão do ISS com o intuito de melhorar sua acurácia na determinação da gravidade do trauma. Essa revisão resultou em mudança no cálculo desse índice e, consequentemente, em uma nova versão, o New Injury Severity Score (NISS). Resultados de estudos têm indicado que o NISS se iguala ou supera o ISS na previsão de mortalidade. Procurou-se neste estudo verificar se a substituição do ISS pelo NISS, na fórmula original do TRISS, melhora sua estimação de sobrevida. Trata-se de pesquisa retrospectiva realizada no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. A população foi constituída por 533 pacientes traumatizados atendidos e internados no Pronto-Socorro deste hospital pelo período de um ano. Foi realizada análise descritiva das características das vítimas e calculadas as medidas de posição para as variáveis contínuas. Para verificar qual o melhor indicador (TRISS ou NTRISS) para probabilidade de sobrevida e o melhor ponto de corte, foi utilizada a curva ROC. Os resultados foram confrontados com as mortes e sobrevidas observadas com o intuito de se identificar a fórmula mais acurada para cálculo da probabilidade de sobrevida. Fizeram parte do estudo pacientes traumatizados entre 18 e 95 anos, sendo a maioria jovens (61,9%), do sexo masculino (80,5%). Os acidentes de transporte foram as causas externas mais frequentes (61,9%), e, consequentemente, houve predomínio de trauma contuso (87,1%). Do total de pacientes, 82,9% foram atendidos por unidades sistematizadas de atendimento pré-hospitalar. A região mais freqüentemente traumatizada foi a superfície externa (63,0%), seguida por cabeça e pescoço (55,5%). Os pacientes estiveram internados por uma média de 11,0 dias (+ 18,0). Dos 533 pacientes, 42,2% necessitaram de internação em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. A taxa de sobrevida foi de 76,9%. A maioria dos indivíduos (54,5%) apresentou valor de RTS de 7 a 7,84. O escore do ISS e do NISS variou de 0 a 75, com predomínio do escore de 9 a 15 (40,0%) para o ISS e de 16 a 24 (25,5%) para o NISS. O valor do TRISS e do NTRISS variou de 0 a 100,0%; probabilidade de sobrevida maior ou igual a 75,0% foi apresentada por 83,4% dos pacientes segundo o TRISS e por 78,4% dos pacientes de acordo com o NTRISS. O TRISS superestimou a probabilidade de sobrevida dos pacientes traumatizados. Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre a previsão de sobrevida dada pelo TRISS e NTRISS, e o NTRISS foi mais assertivo que o TRISS para prever sobrevida dos pacientes atendidos neste centro de trauma / The Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) is an index that permits the calculation of survival probability in trauma victims. The following information is necessary to perform this calculation: age, trauma type -penetrating or contusion; value from the Revised Trauma Score (RTS); and the scores from the Injury Severity Score (ISS). In 1997, a revision was done to the ISS to improve its accuracy for determining the severity of traumas, thus resulting in a new version called the New Injury Severity Score (NISS). Studies have shown that this NISS is equal to or greater than the ISS in the prediction of mortality. The objective of this study was to verify if substituting the ISS with the NISS, in the original TRISS form, improved the survival rate estimate. This retrospective study included 533 trauma victims who were attended and interned in the emergency room during a period of 1 year, in \"Hospital das Clínicas\" of the Medical School of the University of Sao Paulo. A descriptive analysis of the characteristics of the victims was performed and the position measurements for the continuous variables were calculated. An ROC curve was used to verify which would be the best indicator (TRISS or NTRISS) for calculating the survival probability. The results were compared with the deaths and survivors in order to indentify the most accurate formula for calculating survival probability. Included in this study were trauma victims, between the ages of 18 to 95, with the majority being youths (61.9%) and of the male gender (80.5%). Contributing causes were predominantly from motor vehicle accidents (61.9%), and predominantly with contusions (87.1%). Of the total victims, 82.9% were treated in first aid clinics. The most frequent trauma regions were superficial (63%) followed by the head and neck (55.5%) The victims were interned on an average of 11 days. ( +18.0). Of the 533 victims 42.2% were interned in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the survival rate was 76.9%. The majority of individuals (54.5%) had RTS scores between 7 and 7.84. The ISS and NISS score varied from 0 to 75, with the average ISS score ranging from 9-15 (40.0%) and the NISS score from 16-24 (25.5%). The TRISS and NTRISS scores varied between 0 and 100 %; probability of survival equal to or greater than 75.0% was presented for 83.4% of the victims according to TRISS and 78.4% according to NTRISS thus, the TRISS overestimated the probability of survival in trauma victims. There was a statistically significant difference in the estimate of survivability data between the TRISS and NTRISS with the latter being the more accurate scale for predicting survivability among the victims treated in this trauma center

The Development of a Hydrodynamics-Based Storm Severity Index

Todaro, Gabriel Francis 01 January 2015 (has links)
A hydrodynamic-based storm severity scale that ranks the damage potential of a storm at a given coastal area is developed. Seventeen tropical and extratropical storm events at 113 different locations on the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico are examined in order to create and verify a Storm Severity Index Model (SSIM). The results from the SSIM are then used to create a location-based storm severity scale titled the Twenty-Four Point Storm Severity Scale. The Twenty-Four Point Scale is based on three subsets of factors. The first is the energy flux above the normal mean high water line that the storm produces, the second is the amount of overwash due to wave-induced runup, and the third is the inundation due to surge-induced flooding that occurs during the event. The advantage of this methodology is that it enables the level of risk associated with a storm to be examined for a specific region, rather than having a single broad value define the entire event. Although, the index is intended for use on sandy beaches with or without dunes, the general methodology could be extended to armored beaches.

Normal sväljning hos friska vuxna

Enlund, Hanna, Nyström, Linn January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund Sväljning bedöms utifrån två aspekter - hur säker och hur effektiv den är. Tidigare studier har visat att vid stigande ålder blir sväljningen mindre effektiv och att förekomst av penetration ökar. Åldrande sväljning har i tidigare studier inte studerats specifikt utifrån säkerhet och effektivitet. Tidigare forskning med avseende på sväljning har enbart fokuserat på äldre individer respektive snävare åldersgrupper.  Syfte Aktuella studiens syfte är att undersöka om det ses en försämring i normal sväljförmåga vid stigande ålder. Studien syftar  även till att undersöka om det finns könsskillnader i hur sväljförmåga förändras vid ökande ålder, men även oavsett ålder. Bedömning av sväljfunktion, sväljningssäkerhet och sväljningseffektivitet genomfördes med Flexibel videoendoskopisk Undersökning av Sväljning (FUS).  Metod Totalt inkluderades 65 deltagare (33 st kvinnor och 32 st män), i åldrarna 21-91 år (median 44 år). FUS genomfördes för att undersöka sväljningen. Vid FUS sväljer deltagarna föda i olika konsistenser. Fynden från FUS bedömdes utifrån standardiserade skalor: The Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS), Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) och The Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale (YPRSRS).  Resultat Majoriteten av alla deltagare bedömdes ha funktionell sväljning. Kvinnor uppvisade en bättre sväljfunktion överlag, men inga könsskillander kunde påvisas gällande säkerhet och effektivitet. Deltagare med en högre uppnådd ålder uppvisade en sämre sväljningssäkerhet och sväljningseffektivitet. Ålder kan således vara en påverkande faktor för sväljningssäkerhet och sväljningseffektivitet.   Slutsatser Denna studie visade att sväljfunktionen hos äldre deltagare var sämre än hos yngre deltagare. Sväljningens säkerhet och effektivitet var inte försämrad hos friska äldre deltagare, jämfört med friska yngre deltagare. Det fanns könsskillnader i sväljförmåga avseende sväljfunktion, kvinnor har en högre förekomst av normal sväljning än männen. Könsskillnader gällande sväljningssäkerhet kunde inte konstateras. Könsskillnad för sväljningseffektivitet kunde ses för sinus piriformis, men inte vallecula. Männen uppvisade genomgående en mindre effektiv sväljning, jämfört med kvinnorna.
