Effect of part-time cardiac catheterization facilities in patients with acute myocardial infarction
2017
Although the easy availability of invasive cardiac care facilities is associated with an increase in their use, their influence on outcomes is not clear. We sought to investigate whether a newly available cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on a part-time (PT) basis might improve outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).This was an observational cohort study that included all consecutive patients with AMI admitted to a secondary-level hospital in Spain before and after the PT-CCL opened in January 2006: during 1998-2005 and 2006-2014, respectively. All-cause in-hospital and long-term mortality were the co-primary en…
Segmentación y comportamiento de lealtad de los pacientes: un análisis clúster en los departamentos de salud de la Comunidad Valenciana
2018
Resumen En un marco sanitario de fragmentación territorial y cohabitación de gestión pública con colaboración público-privada, tiene sentido analizar y clasificar los departamentos sanitarios, atendiendo a múltiples objetivos: conocer el comportamiento real de los pacientes cuando pueden elegir dónde ser atendidos, adaptar la cartera de servicios a las preferencias del paciente y organizar la asistencia sanitaria desde una óptica territorial, considerando si afecta el modelo de gestión. Se utilizan datos secundarios (más de dos millones) en la Comunidad Valenciana, con un análisis clúster del comportamiento de lealtad (captación, retención y deserción). Esta metodología permite la reagrupac…
Comparison of Epithor clinical national database and medico-administrative database to identify the influence of case-mix on the estimation of hospit…
2019
BackgroundThe national Epithor database was initiated in 2003 in France. Fifteen years on, a quality assessment of the recorded data seemed necessary. This study examines the completeness of the data recorded in Epithor through a comparison with the French PMSI database, which is the national medico-administrative reference database. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the influence of data quality with respect to identifying 30-day mortality hospital outliers.MethodsWe used each hospital's individual FINESS code to compare the number of pulmonary resections and deaths recorded in Epithor to the figures found in the PMSI. Centers were classified into either the good-quality data (GQD) …
