Hospital Management System

Social service personnel from one public and two voluntary agencies were integrated into a consultation group in an academic pediatric hospital, leading to a reduction in the actual cost of medical services and the risk of reinjury subsequent to the diagnosis of child abuse. In the 1969-1970 hospital year, 62 cases of child abuse were seen, of which 39 were hospitalized. The average hospital stay was 29 days; the average hospital cost $3,000. Total hospital costs for the 39 cases were $123,000, of which bed costs made up $95,000. There were at least three subsequent incidents of child abuse in these 39 cases, and there was one subsequent death; the reinjury rate was 10% for hospitalized cases. In September 1970 the Trauma X Group, an interdisciplinary, interagency consultation unit based in the hospital, was formed. With formal consultation and continued surveillance after discharge by the Trauma X Group, the following data were obtained from the 1970-1971 hospital year. Of 86 cases, 60 were hospitalized. The average hospital stay was 17 days; the average hospital cost $2,500. Total hospital costs for the 60 cases was $150,000, of which bed costs made up $101,000. There was one incident of reinjury and no deaths subsequent to diagnosis in these 60 cases; the reinjury rate was 1.7%. The risk of reinjury calculated from a modified life table was reduced from 8% in the year previous to the formation of the group to 7% and 2%, respectively, in the subsequent year and six-month periods, supporting the dollar-cost impression of effectiveness. Foster placement, furthermore, was infrequent and does not explain the differential impact of the Trauma X Group in the intervals under study.

The results of surgical treatment of 59 women (average age 31.9 1.3 years) who underwent laser ablation of paraurethral cysts using the Lakhta-Milon laser apparatus (Russia) (diode laser with a wavelength of 0.97 m) are presented. The postoperative period in all patients proceeded without serious complications. The average hospital stay was 1.7 1.5 days. 4 weeks after surgery, all 59 patients noted improvement such as lack of dysuria, only 10 (16.9%) had minor discharge from the genital tract. 6 weeks after surgery all 59 operated patients had wound epithelization. Conclusion: The treatment of paraurethral cysts should be surgical and as radical as possible. The operation of choice is laser ablation of paraurethral formations.

Aim. Clinical justification for the necessity of sanitation surgeries for cholelithiasis and abdominal wall hernias in patients intended for heart valve surgery. Methods. The study is based on the analysis of operative treatment results of 54 patients admitted to surgical department of Interregional clinical diagnostic center (Kazan) in 2007-2017 with cholelithiasis and abdominal wall hernias, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy or herniotomy before or after an open heart surgery in cardiac surgical department No. 2 of the hospital. All patients were divided into two clinical groups. Group 1 consisted of 36 patients with a history of prosthetic heart valve, taking long-term warfarin. The comparison group included 18 patients, who at the first stage before cardiac surgery underwent sanitation surgeries for cholelithiasis and/or abdominal wall hernias. As part of the research, statistical analysis of intergroup differences was performed using non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-tests. Intergroup differences were determined by gender, age and type of cardiac and general surgical pathology. Results. The analysis of the study groups showed that the average hospital stay among patients with long-term use of indirect anticoagulants was 15±1 day and varied from 12 to 19 days. The results indicate more than two-fold increase of an average hospital stay compared to patients, who underwent the same surgeries before cardiac interventions (р <0.05). Conclusion. Before performing cardiac valve replacement with planned life-term or long-term use of anticoagulants with concomitant general surgical pathology (cholelithiasis, abdominal wall hernias with a tendency to strangulate), at the first stage, it is reasonable to perform so called sanitation surgeries aimed at eliminating abdominal pathology; such approach significantly decreases hospital stay of patients, and potentially contributes to lower probability of hemorrhagic complication incidences during the surgery and in the early post-operative period.

Object The authors debate the optimal management for Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I) while sharing their experience with posterior fossa decompression and duraplasty (PFDD). Methods The charts of 48 consecutive pediatric patients surgically treated for CM-I were retrospectively reviewed. Results Patients ranged in age from 2 to 17 years with an average age of 9.8 years. The most common presentations were headache, affecting 34 patients (71%), and pain (neck, back, or extremities), affecting 21 patients (44%). Twenty-seven patients (56%) had a syrinx. All 48 patients underwent PFDD utilizing acellular tissue matrix. The average hospital stay overall was 3.56 days, whereas the average stay for patients with (29 [60%] of 48) or without (19 [40%] of 48) scoliosis and/or syringomyelia was 3.72 and 3.32 days, respectively. The odds of a patient having a hospital stay of 4 or more days was nearly 3 times greater in patients with scoliosis and/or syringomyelia as compared with patients without either condition (OR 2.73, 95% CI 0.74–10.11, p = 0.1330). The average hospital stay for patients 0–8 years of age was 3.29 days; and for those 9–17 years of age, 3.78 days. The odds of a patient having a hospital stay of 4 or more days was nearly 4 times greater in 9- to 17-year-olds as compared with 0- to 8-year-olds (OR 3.73, 95% CI 1.03–13.52, p = 0.0455). Forty patients (89%) experienced early improvement in their signs and symptoms following PFDD. There were 2 revision PFDDs (4%). Conclusions Posterior fossa decompression and duraplasty is a safe and effective surgical option in the management of pediatric CM-I.

Background: Brazil is the second country in dementia cases prevalence. The populational aging worsens this situation and overloads the healthcare system. Objectives: To analyze the epidemiological data of dementia in the period from 2010 to 2020 in Brazil. Design and setting: Descriptive cross-sectional epidemiological study with patients with Dementia in Brazil between 2010 and 2019. Methods: Study realized using the SUS Hospital Information Systems (SIH/ SUS), with the information provided by the SUS Informatics Department. Results: From 2010 to 2020, Brazil had 170 million dementia cases notifications and 31 thousand hospitalizations. The southeast region had the highest case prevalence (88%), and the North region the lowest (0.36%). The hospitalized patients number per 100.000 inhabitants was highest in the South region (25.11) and lowest in the North region (4.55). The Center-west region had the highest mortality rate (16.43) and the North the lowest (1). 53% of the reported cases were males, being 51% of the hospitalization rate. The mortality rate was higher in female patients (8.58) and 7.18 for male patients. Patients over 70 years accounted for 75% of the deaths. The patients between 30 and 39 years presented the longest average hospital stay (140,6 days). Southeast and South had the longest (122.2) and shortest (15.1) hospital stay in days, respectively. Conclusion: The data showed the disparity among the regions, from hospitalizations to mortality rates. Hence, politics that can embrace the totality of the territory, improving patient comfort, and disease prognostic are needed.
