Factors associated with the incidence of pressure ulcer during hospital stay

SUMMARY

OBJECTIVE Estimating the incidence rate of pressure ulcers and verifying factors associated with this occurrence in a cohort of hospitalized patients. METHOD This is a cohort study in which the considered outcome was the time until pressure ulcer occurrence. Estimated effect of the variables on the cumulative incidence ratio of the outcome was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model. Variable selection occurred via the Logrank hypothesis test. RESULTS The sample consisted of 442 adults, with 25 incidents of pressure ulcers. Patients with high scores on the Braden scale presented a higher risk of pressure ulcer incidence when compared to those classified into the low score category. CONCLUSION These results reinforce the importance of using the Braden Scale to assist in identifying patients more likely to develop pressure ulcers.

Complicaciones cardiovasculares y sus factores determinantes en pacientes adultos portadores de Enfermedad Renal Crónica / Cardiovascular complications and their risk factors in adult patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Complicaciones cardiovasculares y sus factores determinantes en pacientes adultos portadores de Enfermedad Renal Crónica / Cardiovascular complications and their risk factors in adult patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Objetivo: describir las complicaciones cardiovasculares y sus principales factores determinantes en los pacientes adultos con enfermedad renal crónica del consultorio 10, Policlínico “Adrián Sansaricq” de Artemisa, desde octubre de 2016 hasta abril de 2018. Materiales y Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal prospectivo. El universo estuvo compuesto por 856 personas. La muestra quedó representada por 214 pacientes. Las variables utilizadas fueron la clasificación de la Enfermedad Renal Crónica, causa básica, la edad, el sexo, los factores de riesgo cardiovasculares, las complicaciones, las comorbilidades y las causas de muerte. La información se obtuvo a partir de las historias clínicas individuales.Resultados: predominó la Enfermedad Renal Crónica en mujeres y adultos mayores entre 60-69 años. Prevaleció el estadio G3a en la clasificación de dicha enfermedad. Las principales causas básicas fueron la Nefropatía hipertensiva y la diabética, seguidas por la obstrucción urinaria. Se constató una alta exposición a los factores de riesgo cardiovasculares con mayor porcentaje de los fumadores y de la presencia de disturbios fosfocálcicos, mayormente en los adultos mayores. La Insuficiencia Cardíaca, las arritmias y la anemia, predominaron como comorbilidades asociadas. Falleció el 2,8% de los casos investigados, de forma predominante, por causas cardiovasculares y neoplasias.Conclusiones: la Enfermedad Renal Crónica se diagnosticó en un elevado porciento de personas, asociada principalmente a la Hipertensión Arterial, la diabetes Mellitus y los adultos mayores. ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the cardiovascular complications and their main determining factors in adult patients with chronic kidney disease in the office 10, Polyclinic “Adrián Sansaricq” of Artemis, from October 2016 to April 2018.Materials and Methods: a descriptive, longitudinal prospective study was conducted. The universe was composed of 856 people. The sample was represented by 214 patients. The variables used were the classification of Chronic Kidney Disease, basic cause, age, sex, cardiovascular risk factors, complications, comorbidities and causes of death. The information was obtained from the individual medical records.Results: Chronic Kidney Disease predominated in women and older adults between 60-69 years. The G3a stage prevailed in the classification of said disease. The main basic causes were hypertensive and diabetic nephropathy, followed by urinary obstruction. There was a high exposure to cardiovascular risk factors with a higher percentage of smokers and the presence of phosphocalcic disorders, mostly in older adults. Heart Failure, arrhythmias and anemia predominated as associated comorbidities. 2.8% of the cases investigated, predominantly, due to cardiovascular causes and malignancies.Conclusions: Chronic Renal Disease was diagnosed in a high percentage of people, mainly associated with Arterial Hypertension, diabetes Mellitus and the elderly.
