科学领域:
- 老年医学
- 危急护理医学
- 公共卫生政策
背景情况:
- 预期寿命的增加导致老年人更多地使用医疗保健,包括重症监护.
- 伦理和政治挑战源于老年人群的关键护理的配额和获取差异.
- 了解老年重症监护室 (ICU) 入院的趋势对于医疗保健规划至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 描述苏格兰老年人集中治疗室住院的发生率.
- 在老年和年轻患者群体中比较ICU入院率,死亡率和治疗强度.
- 分析六年来老年人集中治疗室使用的趋势.
主要方法:
- 使用了与医院和死亡记录相关的苏格兰ICU入院的六年队列 (2005-2010).
- 对于80岁及以上的个体来说,标准化的每年急症室住院率.
- 使用日志等级测试来比较老年人和年轻人 (<65岁) 的死亡率.
主要成果:
- 老年人 (≥80岁) 住院人数占总住院人数的9. 5%,在2005年至2010年间,病例发生率从每10,000人中的36. 6下降到30. 3.
- 与年轻患者 (16. 1%) 相比,老年人 (26. 4%) 的急症室死亡率显著高,六年死亡率为68. 0%,而34. 5%.
- 年长的幸存者退院率较低 (80%),而年轻的患者 (92%),接受康复的比例更高 (14.2%对5.1%). 年龄是死亡率的一个独立预测因素.
结论:
- 与之前的研究相反,苏格兰的老年人住院率在2005-2010年间有所下降.
- 这项研究表明,只有最适合的老年人被接收到ICU.
- 老年患者最初接受了更密集的治疗,但在ICU停留时间较短,死亡率高,年龄作为独立预测因素.
