RESUMEN

Objetivo Determinar la prevalencia de pacientes con trastorno mental (TM) ingresados en la UCI. Comparar las características clínicas según la presencia de antecedentes psiquiátricos. Revisar la pertinencia de las interconsultas realizadas a psiquiatría. Diseño Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo. Ámbito UCI del Hospital General del Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu, Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, España. Pacientes Pacientes ingresados entre enero de 2016 y junio de 2018. Intervenciones Ninguna. Variables de interés principales Nivel de gravedad (APACHEII), motivo de ingreso, días de ingreso, días de ventilación mecánica, antecedentes psiquiátricos y motivo de interconsulta a psiquiatría. Resultados Se incluyeron 1.247 pacientes; 194 (15,5%) cumplían criterios de TM, siendo su media de edad más joven (59 vs 68, p<0,001) y con menor puntuación media en la escala APACHEII (12 vs 14, p≤0,003). Se realizaron 64 interconsultas a psiquiatría (5,1% de los ingresos), 59 de las cuales fueron en pacientes con TM (92,1%). En cuanto a los motivos de la interconsulta, el 22,6% fueron por intento autolítico, el 61,3% para ajuste farmacológico, el 11,3% para descartar TM y el 4,8% para valoración de competencia. La posibilidad de que se realizara una interconsulta estando indicada fue del 89,1%, mientras que la posibilidad de no realizarla no estando indicada fue del 99,4%. Conclusiones Este estudio respalda la necesidad de ampliar las recomendaciones específicas para realizar interconsulta a psiquiatría, más allá de la valoración tras intento autolítico, puesto que un gran porcentaje (77,5%) de las interconsultas pertinentes fueron por otros motivos (AU)

Objective To describe the prevalence of patients with mental disorders (MD) admitted to the ICU. To compare the clinical characteristics according to the presence of psychiatric history. To review the relevance of the consultations made to Psychiatry. Design Retrospective descriptive study. Setting ICU of the General Hospital of the Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Deu, Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain. Patients Patients admitted between January 2016 and June 2018. Interventions None. Main variables of interest Severity level (APACHEII), reason for admission, days of admission, days of mechanical ventilation, psychiatric history and reason for psychiatric consultation. Results A total of 1,247 patients were included; 194 (15.5%) met MD criteria, their mean age being younger (59 vs 68, P<.001) and with a lower mean score on the APACHEII scale (12 vs 14, P≤.003). There were 64 consultations to Psychiatry (5.1% of admissions), 59 of which were in patients with TM (92.1%). Regarding the reasons for the consultation, 22.6% were for attempted suicide, 61.3% for pharmacological adjustment, 11.3% to rule out mental disorder, and 4.8% for competence assessment. The probability of a consultation being carried out while it was indicated was 89.1%, while the probability of not carrying it out when it was not indicated was 99.4%. Conclusions This study supports the need to expand the specific recommendations for consultation to Psychiatry, beyond the assessment after a suicide attempt, since a large percentage (77.5%) of the pertinent consultations were for other reasons (AU)

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The emotional experience of patients must be ascertained to ensure patient-centred care during hospitalisation. Improving this experience has a positive impact on patient prognosis. Therefore, in order to provide comprehensive care, therefore, patient emotional care needs must be known. The objective of this study was to produce a transcultural translation and validation of the Patient Evaluation of Emotional Care during Hospitalisation (PEECH) questionnaire. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The PEECH consists of three sections resulting in four subscales: level of security, level of knowledge, level of personal value, and level of connection. The questionnaire was translated into Spanish. An expert panel revised the translation until they were satisfied with the outcome. It was then back-translated and submitted to the author for approval. For its validation, 132 hospitalised patients completed the questionnaire. Expert judgement was used to analyse the content validity and factor analysis in order to confirm the construct validity. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was used to measure the internal consistency of the four subscales. RESULTS: In the confirmatory factor analysis of the four subscales, the weights of all questions were significant (>0.5), with the exception of Q7 (0.416) and Q18 (0.439), which nevertheless met the minimum interpretation level for the structure. In accordance with this criterion, the four subscales were justified. CONCLUSION: The Spanish version of the PEECH questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate the perception of emotional care in hospitalised patients. The information gathered can contribute to providing comprehensive care for patients in hospital.

RESUMEN

Fundamento: En los últimos años se ha recomendado la práctica de ejercicio físico en todas las edades. No existe un consenso unánime para establecer recomendaciones concretas sobre el tipo y nivel de actividad física necesario para mantener la salud en los niños y adolescentes. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el estado de forma física y los hábitos de vida relacionados con la alimentación y la práctica de ejercicio físico de un colectivo de adolescentes de Bilbao Material y método: Se ha realizado un estudio transversal en un colectivo de adolescentes con edades entre 13 y 15 años (n=75), 36 hombres y 39 mujeres. El protocolo de estudio contemplaba hábitos alimentarios, práctica deportiva usual y actividad física en el colegio y durante el fin de semana, exploración antropométrica y estimación de la forma física a partir del volumen máximo de oxígeno determinado mediante una prueba de esfuerzo submáximo, el Step-test de Astrand. Se monitorizó durante el esfuerzo la frecuencia cardiaca y la tensión arterial sistólica y diastólica. Resultados: El 33 por ciento de los hombres y el 35 por ciento de las mujeres realizaba consumos adecuados de frutas. Para el grupo de las verduras se observaron consumos adecuados en el 19 por ciento de los hombres y en el 40 por ciento de las mujeres. El 28 por ciento de los hombres y el 46 por ciento de las mujeres consume más de 3 raciones de bollería semanales. El 80 por ciento de los hombres y el 46 por ciento de las mujeres practicaba deporte más de 1 día a la semana. Ninguna de las mujeres que practicaba deporte realizaba control de su forma física. El porcentaje de hombres que lo hacía era del 11 por ciento. Conclusiones: Es necesario conocer con mayor detalle los patrones de actividad física y deportiva en la población escolar y adolescente de nuestro entorno y disponer de instrumentos que permitan realizar un seguimiento. Los resultados preliminares ponen en evidencia patrones de consumo alimentario inadecuado y un estilo de vida predominantemente sedentario (AU)

RESUMEN

In this work we present a hearing screening practised to 2802 six years children, attending to Public Schools in Bilbao area, during 1988, 1989 and 1990. We used the screening audiometry as method, placing the normality level in 30 dB H1 ISO. We obtained a prevalence of 6.6% and a 7.6% of false positives. Transmission hearing losses represent almost 70% and levels of low and moderate hearing loss were the most frequent, reading 88.6%. We also confirmed as parameters that contribute to hearing loss detection, the level and bilaterality of hearing loss, being language delay one of the most frequent reasons of suspicion. We also discovered that the vast majority of hearing losses that cause invalidation, deep and severe, have a perinatal origin, so early screenings would enable and early diagnostic and many benefits. In spite of all the screenings mant hearing losses are not detected, but they are moderate and can never cause incapacitation, being of little hearing relevance.

RESUMEN

A new "breast-halving incision" for subcutaneous mastectomy is described. It has particular advantages in the large breast, where the incidence of complications is much higher. Its main disadvantage is the length of the incision, which runs across the equator of the breast. However, subcutaneous mastectomy is not primarily a cosmetic operation. The improved results in immediate reconstruction would seem to justify this approach.
