Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The definition of quality criteria in health care is essential to implement structural organization strategies that ensure that patients (P) receive the best care according to the most updated recommendations available at the time they are treated. Quality indicators have recently been defined with regard to the approach and treatment of STEMI in the European Guidelines published in 2017.
Objective
The authors intend to characterize the level of care provided to P with STEMI inserted into a national multicenter registry since 2011 in order to establish a relationship with international recommendations.
Population and methods
Descriptive study based on a national multicenter registry. A total of 2051 P admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of STEMI were included, 1266 P for the year 2011 and 785 P for the year 2016.
Results
The P of the year 2011 and 2016 presented similar age (64±14 vs 63±13). There was a higher percentage of P admitted by STEMI fast track managed care system in 2016 (36.9% vs 22.2%, p<0,001) and less from the Emergency Department (31.6% vs 56.8%; p<0,001). Regarding the transport to the Hospital, there was an increase in patients transported by prehospital medical teams (28% vs 21%; p<0,001) and less by own means (35.7% vs 45.6%; p<0,001). Regarding in-hospital therapy, it was found that in 2016 more patients received loading doses of P2Y12 inhibitors – Clopidogrel (78.1% vs 70.3% P<0,001) and Ticagrelor (54.7% vs 0.7% P<0,001). In post-discharge therapy, there was also a slight improvement in care in 2016, with more P being treated with P2Y12 inhibitor (96.2% vs 92.4%; p=0.03) and beta-blocker (84.4% vs 78.7%; p<0,001). Regarding the type of reperfusion, there was an increase in angioplasty (95.5% vs 92.2%; p<0,001) and a decrease in fibrinolysis (4.5% vs 7.8%; p=0.03) in 2016. There was a slight worsening of the prehospital delay in 2016 (median 163min vs 120min) and an improvement in door to reperfusion time (median 60min vs 70min). There was also an increase in angioplasties performed in 2016 (87.1% vs 85.1%; p<0,001) as well as an increase in the percentage of left ventricular function evaluation before discharge (98.2% vs 93.9%; p<0,001).
Conclusion
The results presented demonstrate a slight improvement in the quality of the care provided to STEMI P. However, there are areas for improvement, in accordance with international recommendations, in particular with regard to reperfusion times.
