RESUMO

ABSTRACT Purpose: To describe the epidemiological and clinical profile of hospitalized patients with retinoblastoma in Brazil. Methods: Using data from the Hospital Cancer Registry of the Instituto Nacional de Câncer, patients with the morphological codes of retinoblastoma who were diagnosed between 2000 to 2018, aged 0-19 years, and followed up in registered hospitals (analytical cases) were selected. The relative and absolute frequencies of demographic, clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and outcome variables were described. Hospital performance indicators were calculated and compared between hospitals qualified and not qualified to treat pediatric oncology cases and between hospitals with different case volumes (<20, 20-75, >75 cases). Results: Of the 2,269 identified analytical cases from 86 institutions, 48% were from the Southeast, 54% were male, and 66% were aged <4 years. The proportion of missing data (NA) was too high for several variables. Approximately 84% of the patients were from the public health system, 40% had a positive family history, and 88% had unilateral involvement. The first treatment included surgery in 58.3% of the patients (NA=2), Approximately 36.6% of these patients achieved complete remission, 10.8% achieved partial remission, and 12.7% died (NA=59%). Hospital performance indicators were within the target in >90% of the patients. The median time between the first appointment and diagnosis (6 days, interquartile range [IQR] 1-14) was significantly lower and the median time to death was longer (343 days, IQR, 212-539) in high-volume hospitals (>75 cases) than in medium- and low-volume hospitals. Conclusions: Despite the high proportion of missing data, we found that the delay in diagnosis is due to prehospital factors. Additionally, there is a need for educational programs for healthcare professionals and families that emphasize early identification and referral to specialized centers. Future studies should focus on the impact of Hospital Cancer Registry data completeness on outcomes, causes of delay in diagnosis, regional inequalities, and barriers to accessing specialized services.

RESUMO

Multidisciplinary care is essential for the management of patients with psoriatic disease (PsD), considering the great range of cutaneous and musculoskeletal symptoms and the potential for associated comorbidities and extraarticular manifestations. Consequently, combined rheumatology/dermatology clinics represent a gold standard model of care for patients with PsD. Many challenges are associated with the establishment of these clinics in routine clinical practice. In this report, we describe the thoughts and debates within a collaborative care breakout session during the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 annual meeting. The breakout discussion focused around 3 main topics: (1) challenges of dermatologist-rheumatologist collaboration; (2) innovative approaches to encourage collaboration; and (3) how to identify patients with psoriasis at high risk of developing PsA.

RESUMO

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the agreement between established tools, such as the Palliative Performance Scale (PPS) and Brazilian version of the Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool (SPICT-BR), and the subjective assessment of palliative care (PC) need using the Surprise Question (SQ) administered by resident physicians. This assessment was conducted among hospitalized patients, with and without cancer, to determine the efficacy of these tools in indicating the need for PC. Methods: A six-month cross-sectional study in 2019 of medical records of patients hospitalized in a single center in IAMSPE-Brazil. The SPICT-BR and PPS were applied to the medical record data, and the SQ was posed to each resident physician. Comparisons for categorical data were made using the chi-square test, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Of 203 patients evaluated, 57.6% were male and 81.2% were older adults (≥60 years). The mean age was 67.40 ± 9.72 years. Chronic disease was nonneoplastic in 78.32% of patients, and 56.65% had not been hospitalized in the preceding year. The PPS score was <70% in 69.4% of patients, and 51.2% met at least one SPICT-BR criterion. Among patients with cancer, 40.9% had over two positive SPICT-BR criteria; 97.5% of these patients received NO responses to SQ by residents (p < 0.0001). Similarly, 90.6% of patients with one SPICT-BR criterion received NO responses to SQ, with no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: The SQ proved to be a valuable tool for PC indication, particularly when administered by untrained professionals. Consistent with SPICT-BR findings, our study highlights the SQ's role in facilitating early identification of patients in need of PC.

RESUMO

To improve current data systems for institutional decision-making, the Adult Liver Transplant Registry was established at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Argentina. This article describes its design and implementation and reports on the outcomes for patients transplanted since its January 2020 launch. A multidisciplinary team designed the registry by identifying key variables from a literature review while considering balance between data depth and feasibility. Rigorous quality control measures were enforced, including monthly audits and staff training. Benchmark indicators for post-transplant outcomes were established. As of November 2023, the registry included 136 transplants. Its implementation and maintenance were straightforward, with no significant difficulties encountered. Cirrhosis was the predominant indication (77%) for transplant. Only one living donor transplantation was performed. Post-transplant results generally aligned with benchmarks, but rates of biliary complications slightly exceeded the recommended thresholds. The one-year post-transplant survival rate was 87%. The successful registry implementation provides a robust framework for research, treatment management, and patient care enhancement within a liver transplant unit.

RESUMO

Caregivers who provide transitional care to people with functional dependence require the mastery of skills that ensure successful continuity of care. This domain of care requires nursing interventions to support the caregiver. This study aims to understand aspects of the development of caregiver mastery for continuity of care after hospital discharge. METHOD: Exploratory, qualitative research carried out in a university hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, from July to December 2022, with fourteen qualified caregivers participating. Data was organized using the software Web Qualitative Data Analysis, analyzed by thematic content analysis, and discussed in light of the Theory of Transitions proposed by Dr. Afaf Meleis. RESULTS: The caregivers were women who cared for functionally dependent individuals and received training for care during hospitalization and telephone follow-up after discharge. Twelve achieved mastery; those with less experience needed more calls to acquire mastery. CONCLUSIONS: Discharge planning and caregiver education are essential to support them in safe and effective hospital-home transitions.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Perfusion safety in cardiac surgery is vital, and this survey explores perfusion practices, perspectives, and challenges related to it. Specifically, it examines the readiness of on-call and emergency operation rooms for perfusion-related procedures during urgent situations. The aim is to identify gaps and enhance perfusion safety protocols, ultimately improving patient care. METHODS: This was a preliminary survey conducted as an initial exploration before committing to a comprehensive study. The sample size was primarily determined based on a one-month time frame. The survey collected data from 236 healthcare professionals, including cardiac surgeons, perfusionists, and anesthetists, using an online platform. Ethical considerations ensured participant anonymity and voluntary participation. The survey comprised multiple-choice and open-ended questions to gather quantitative and qualitative data. RESULTS: The survey found that 53% preferred a dry circuit ready for emergencies, 19.9% preferred primed circuits, and 19.1% chose not to have a ready pump at all. Various reasons influenced these choices, including caseload variations, response times, historical practices, surgeon preferences, and backup perfusionist availability. Infection risk, concerns about error, and team dynamics were additional factors affecting circuit readiness. CONCLUSION: This survey sheds light on current perfusion practices and challenges, emphasizing the importance of standardized protocols in regards to readiness of on-call and emergency operation rooms. It provides valuable insights for advancing perfusion safety and patient care while contributing to the existing literature on the subject.

RESUMO

When faced with questions about artificial intelligence (AI), many surgeons respond with scepticism and rejection. However, in the realm of cardiac surgery, it is imperative that we embrace the potential of AI and adopt a proactive mindset. This systematic review utilizes PubMed® to explore the intersection of AI and cardiac surgery since 2017. AI has found applications in various aspects of cardiac surgery, including teaching aids, diagnostics, predictive outcomes, surgical assistance, and expertise. Nevertheless, challenges such as data computation errors, vulnerabilities to malware, and privacy concerns persist. While AI has limitations, its restricted capabilities without cognitive and emotional intelligence should lead us to cautiously and partially embrace this advancing technology to enhance patient care.

RESUMO

Nesta Tribuna, os autores discutem as transformações da sociedade e seu impacto na construção dos sistemas de saúde e a comprovada importância da Atenção Primária à Saúde, com a abordagem do processo de saúde-doença de modo singular e articulado ao contexto social por meio do trabalho em equipe interprofissional. A criação dos Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família, recentemente rebatizados como Núcleos Ampliados de Saúde da Família e Atenção Básica, é um bom exemplo da imperiosa importância dessa abordagem interprofissional no âmbito da atenção primária. Contudo, nessa interlocução, também emergem desafios e fragilidades. Esses aspectos são suscitados na reflexão proposta.

In this forum, the authors discuss the transformations in society and their impact on the construction of health systems and the proven importance of Primary Health Care, with a unique approach to the health-disease process that is articulated with the social context through interprofessional teamwork. The creation of Family Health Support Centers, recently renamed Expanded Family Health and Primary Care Centers, is a good example of the imperative importance of this interprofessional approach in the context of primary care. However, in this dialogue, challenges and weaknesses also emerge. These aspects are raised in the proposed reflection.

RESUMO

Introducción: las competencias bioéticas permiten abordar colectiva y críticamente, aspectos éticos involucrados en la práctica clínica. Pero, la deliberación ética simultánea de médico/as con enfermero/as, en pacientes no críticos, es inhabitual. Objetivo: constatar la percepción de médico/as y enfermero/as de un hospital de alta complejidad, sobre sus competencias bioéticas y deliberación sincrónica, en hospitalizados pediátricos sin riesgo vital. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal mediante encuesta, a médico/as y enfermero/as del servicio médico-quirúrgico infantil, sobre presencia, modalidad de enseñanza de bioética en pregrado, percepción de tener conocimiento bioético suficiente para aplicarlo clínicamente y si hubo análisis ético-clínico conjunto, en pacientes hospitalizados. Resultados: la mayoría de los encuestados 47/54 (87%) recibió formación teórica obligatoria en bioética durante el pregrado. De ellos, 19/29 (65,5%) médico/as y 11/18 (61,1%) enfermero/as reconocieron que esta formación fue insuficiente para aplicarla en el trabajo. 25/35 (71,4%) médicos, afirmó participar en deliberación ética antes de enviar un caso al comité de ética asistencial, pero esta deliberación ocasionalmente incluyó a enfermero/as ya que, sólo 2/19 (10,5%) de los enfermero/as señalaron intervenir en este tipo de deliberación. Conclusiones: médico/as y enfermero/as que trabajan en pediatría y cirugía infantil, perciben insuficiencias de formación en pregrado en bioética e impericia para aplicar contenidos a la práctica cotidiana. La deliberación ética sobre casos clínicos pediátricos de enfermero/as es esporádica respecto de médico/as en hospitalización médico-quirúrgica básica.

Introduction: Bioethical skills are essential for addressing, both collectively and critically, ethical issues that arise in clinical practice. However, joint ethical deliberation between physicians and nurses with non-critical patients is uncommon Objective: To study the perception of physicians and nurses regarding their bioethical skills in a high-complexity hospital and whether they engage in collective deliberation in units of pediatric inpatients not at vital risk. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted via a survey targeting physicians and nurses in the pediatric medical-surgical service. The survey inquired about the presence and modality of bioethics teaching during undergraduate education, the perception of having sufficient bioethical knowledge for clinical application, and whether joint ethical-clinical analysis was performed regarding hospitalized patients. Results: Most respondents, 47/54 (87%), had received mandatory theoretical training in bioethics during their undergraduate education. 19/29 (65.5%) physicians and 11/18 (61.1%) nurses acknowledged that this training was insufficient for application in their work. A high percentage of physicians, 19/29 (65.5%), claimed to carry out ethical analysis of cases before referring them to the healthcare ethics committee, occasionally including nurses since only 2/18 (11.1%) of the nurses indicated participation in such analysis. Conclusions: Medical and nursing professionals who work in pediatrics and children's surgery perceive insufficiencies in undergraduate training in bioethics issues and an inability to apply content to daily practice. Ethical deliberation on pediatric clinical cases by nurses is sporadic compared to doctors in basic medical-surgical hospitalization.

RESUMO

Objective: To reflect on aspects of training, care and management that contribute to supporting families of people with intestinal stomas. Method: A theoretical reflection study based on a substantive theory developed with 12 families of people with ostomies due to intestinal cancer. Results: With the development of the substantive theory, it was possible to give a voice to families of people with ostomies due to intestinal cancer based on what they identify as the need for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary care capable of completing the procedural phases experienced throughout the investigated trajectory. For these care changes to be effective, healthcare professional training must include intestinal ostomy care in their curricula. Also, changes in intersectoral management are updating the Management of Users with Disabilities, investing in infrastructure, mainly in adequate public restrooms. Conclusion: This reflection demonstrates the importance of implementing these changes in training, care and management, which help in planning family-centered care, considering that the family provides home care based on interactions, and helps and empowers their family member to implement self-care for ostomy.

A total of 168 health professionals from four units (A, B, C and D) of adult intensive care participated. The questionnaire "Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture" was used. The patient's level of safety culture was considered as a dependent variable, and sociodemographic and labor aspects were the independent variables. Descriptive statistics were used and a multiple logistic regression model was developed to analyze the associated factors. Results: An association was identified between the type of hospital and eleven dimensions of the safety culture. In terms of function, the doctors, nursing technicians, and nurse were related to three dimensions; gender with two dimensions, and time working in the sector with one dimension. Conclusion: It was evidenced that the type of hospital, function, time working in the sector, and gender were associated with the dimensions of patient safety culture.

RESUMO

Rapid changes in medical education are being fueled by advancements in science, technology, and societal structures. However, the traditional medical curriculum often struggles to keep pace with the evolving demands of medical practice in light of these advancements. Neurology presents distinctive challenges in modern medicine, requiring innovative solutions to improve patient care and support the well-being of healthcare providers. This essay delves into the intricate issues encountered by neurologists, such as the diminishing interpersonal connections in the medical field and the prevalent issue of burnout among professionals, exacerbated by outdated educational programs. This research advocates for a comprehensive approach to enhancing neurology practice through the perspectives of Medical Humanities (MH) and neurobiology, within the evolving realm of Neurohumanities. By integrating stateof-the-art neurobiological findings, MH/Neurohumanities, and a focus on empathy, the article proposes practical strategies to rejuvenate clinical practice and bolster the resilience of neurology practitioners. Furthermore, it underscores the untapped potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning while examining how the digital ecosystem could revolutionize neurology medical education. Grounded in evidence-based research and practical insights, this article offers valuable guidance for navigating the complexities of contemporary neurology practice and cultivating a workforce of healthcare professionals who possess both technological acumen and compassion.

Mudanças rápidas na educação médica estão sendo impulsionadas pelos avanços na ciência, tecnologia e estruturas sociais. No entanto, o currículo médico tradicional frequentemente luta para acompanhar as exigências em constante evolução da prática médica diante desses avanços. A neurologia apresenta desafios distintos na medicina moderna, exigindo soluções inovadoras para melhorar o cuidado ao paciente e apoiar o bemestar dos profissionais de saúde. Este ensaio explora as questões complexas enfrentadas pelos neurologistas, como a diminuição das conexões interpessoais no campo médico e o problema prevalente do esgotamento entre os profissionais, exacerbado por programas educacionais desatualizados. Esta pesquisa defende uma abordagem abrangente para aprimorar a prática da neurologia por meio das perspectivas das Humanidades Médicas (HM) e da neurobiologia, dentro do campo em evolução das Neuro- Humanidades. Ao integrar descobertas neurobiológicas de ponta, HM/Neuro-Humanidades e um foco na empatia, o artigo propõe estratégias práticas para rejuvenescer a prática clínica e fortalecer a resiliência dos profissionais de neurologia. Além disso, destaca o potencial inexplorado da inteligência artificial e da aprendizagem de máquina ao examinar como o ecossistema digital poderia revolucionar a educação médica em neurologia. Fundamentado em pesquisas baseadas em evidências e insights práticos, este artigo oferece orientações valiosas para navegar pelas complexidades da prática contemporânea da neurologia e cultivar uma força de trabalho de profissionais de saúde que possuam tanto acuidade tecnológica quanto compaixão.

Introducción La implementación del ABCDEF ha demostrado mejores resultados en los pacientes críticos. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar el cumplimiento del registro diario del ABCDEF en una unidad de cuidados intensivos chilena. Métodos Estudio observacional retrospectivo de los registros clínicos electrónicos de profesionales de enfermería, kinesiología y medicina que trataron a pacientes mayores de 18 años, hospitalizados en una unidad de cuidados intensivos durante al menos 24 horas, con o sin requerimiento de ventilación mecánica. Se determinó el cumplimiento diario del considerando la presencia del registro en la ficha clínica de cada elemento: evaluación del dolor (elemento A), prueba de interrupción de la sedación (elemento B1) y ventilación espontánea (elemento B2), elección de la sedación (elemento C), evaluación del (elemento D), movilización temprana (elemento E) y empoderamiento de la familia (elemento F). Resultados Se obtuvieron 4165 elementos del registrados provenientes de enfermería (47%), kinesiología (44%) y medicina (7%), incluyendo 1134 días/paciente (133 pacientes). Los elementos E y C mostraron un cumplimiento del 67 y 40%, mientras que D, A, y B2 mostraron 24, 14 y 11%, respectivamente. Para B1 y F se obtuvo 0% de cumplimiento. El cumplimiento fue mayor en los pacientes sin ventilación mecánica para A y E, mientras que para D fue similar. Conclusiones La movilización temprana fue el elemento con mayor cumplimiento, mientras que las pruebas de interrupción de sedación y el empoderamiento de la familia tuvieron incumplimiento absoluto. Futuros estudios deberían explorar las razones que expliquen los diferentes grados de cumplimiento por elemento del en la práctica clínica.

Introduction Implementing the ABCDEF bundle has demonstrated improved outcomes in patients with critical illness. This study aims to describe the daily compliance of the ABCDEF bundle in a Chilean intensive care unit. Methods Retrospective observational study of electronic clinical records of nursing, physiotherapy, and medical professionals who cared for patients over 18 years of age, admitted to an intensive care unit for at least 24 hours, with or without mechanical ventilation. Daily bundle compliance was determined by considering the daily records for each element: Assess pain (element A), both spontaneous awakening trials (element B1) and spontaneous breathing trials (element B2), choice of sedation (element C), delirium assessment (element D), early mobilization (element E), and family engagement (element F). Results 4165 registered bundle elements were obtained from nursing (47%), physiotherapy (44%), and physicians (7%), including 1134 patient/days (from 133 patients). Elements E and C showed 67 and 40% compliance, while D, A, and B2 showed 24, 14 and 11%, respectively. For B1 and F, 0% compliance was achieved. Compliance was higher in patients without mechanical ventilation for A and E, while it was similar for D. Conclusions Early mobilization had the highest compliance, while spontaneous awakening trials and family engagement had absolute non-compliance. Future studies should explore the reasons for the different degrees of compliance per bundle element in clinical practice.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an intervention using the Treatment Summary and Survivorship Care Plan (TSSCP-P) on self-efficacy and quality of life (QoL) in breast cancer survivors. METHOD: A clinical study, randomized and controlled, conducted to assess self-efficacy and QOL in breast cancer survivors. The participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received individualized nursing consultations guided by the TSSCP-P, while the control group received standard care. Self-efficacy and QoL were assessed at three evaluation moments using validated scales: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Plus Anm Morbidity (FACT B + 4) and Perceived General Self-Efficacy Scale. Statistical analyses, including regression analysis and hypothesis tests, were conducted to examine the effects of the intervention on self-efficacy and QoL. RESULTS: Female breast cancer survivors (N = 101) were recruited. The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in self-efficacy over time compared to the control group (p = 0.01). However, no significant differences were observed in the overall QoL scores between the two groups. Subscale analysis revealed a significant improvement in physical well-being for the intervention group (p = 0.04), while emotional well-being showed a non-significant improvement (p = 0.07). The study suggests that individualized care plans and support strategies, such as the TSSCP-P, can positively influence breast cancer survivors' self-efficacy and certain aspects of their QoL. CONCLUSION: These findings highlight the potential benefits of the TSSCP-P intervention in enhancing self-efficacy among breast cancer survivors. However, further research is needed to explore its impact on overall QoL and its effectiveness across different stages of breast cancer, as well as with longer follow-up periods. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (ReBEC- RBR-2m7qkjy; UTN code: U1111-1257-3560), registered in April 19th, 2022.
