Fundamento

Conocer los factores que pueden influir en los ingresos inadecuados en un servicio de medicina interna.

Pacientes y método

Analizamos 1.993 ingresos, evaluando su adecuación utilizando el Protocolo de Evaluación de la Adecuación.

Resultado

Un total de 187 ingresos se consideraron inadecuados (9,4%). La probabilidad de ingreso inadecuado era mayor si el paciente tenía menos de 65 años (OR, 1,94; IC del 95%, 1,32-2,85) o si el ingreso era programado desde consultas externas (OR, 10,58. IC del 95%, 2,79-40,1). Además, el diagnóstico clínico influía en dicha inadecuación.

Conclusiones

La edad, el diagnóstico y la procedencia del ingreso influyen en la inadecuación de los ingresos producidos en nuestro servicio.

Background

To determine the factors associated with inappropriate admissions in an Internal medicine department.

Subjects and method

We included 1,993 admissions. The justification for the admissions was evaluated using the Appropriateness Evalutation Protocol.

Results

187 (9.4%) admissions were considered inappropriate. The likelihood of an inappropriate admission was higher as long as the patient was younger than 65 years of age (OR, 1.94; (95%) IC, 1.32-2.85) and the admission had been programmed from the outpatients clinic (OR, 10.58; (95%) IC,2.79-40.1). Clinical diagnosis also influenced the inappropriateness of admissions.

Conclusion

Age, diagnosis and source of patients determine inappropriate admissions in an internal medicine department.
