尽管整体成像要求减少,但不适当的转诊比例在五年内显著增加. 遵守iRefer关于适当成像推的指导方针需要进一步改进,以减少不必要的辐射暴露和成本.
科学领域:
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
- 医疗保健管理的管理
- 医学成像的适当性 医学成像的适当性
背景情况:
- 该iRefer指南为医学成像转诊提供基于证据的建议,以优化患者护理并最大限度地减少辐射暴露.
- 2017年之前的一次机构审查评估了成像转诊的适当性.
- 这项研究提供了为期五年的后续工作,以评估转诊适当性的变化以及先前审查的影响.
研究的目的:
- 在初步审查后五年,更新成像推适当性的评估.
- 确定前一次审查对转案适当性的影响.
- 分析不同临床环境中不适当的成像请求的趋势.
主要方法:
- 从全科医生 (GPs),急诊部 (ED) 和住院患者的945个成像转诊的回顾性审计.
- 根据iRefer指南对转介进行了评估.
- 财务成本和累计辐射剂量估计用于不适当的转诊.
主要成果:
- 总体而言,X光照请求量有所下降,但不合适请求的相对比例显著增加.
- 整体医生的不适当的腹部X射线转诊减少了 (72%至37.5%).
- 不适当的ED转诊增加了 (38%至46%),住院转诊保持稳定 (30%).
- 不恰当的全科医生要求脊柱放射 (宫,胸部,腰部) 显著增加 (分别为18%至66%,47%至72%,53%至80%;p < 0.001).
- 不恰当的放射图导致了增加的财务负担和辐射剂量负担.
结论:
- 尽管在过去五年中,X射线图请求减少了,但不适当的转诊率显著上升.
- 对于确保适当,有效和安全的成像,iRefer指南非常有价值.
- 需要加大努力,以改善对成像转诊的iRefer指南的遵守.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
