To assess the appropriateness of utilization of beds in the internal medicine department of a university hospital.
The appropriateness of hospital stay was evaluated using the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol. A random sample of 402 days of stay was assessed.
One hundred and thirty-nine days of stay (34.6%) were classified as inappropriate. The inappropriate stays were mostly secondary to hospital-related factors. The two major factors for inappropriate stays were 'inappropriate timing/delay in diagnostic procedures/consultations' (27%) and 'delay in obtaining test results' (27%). None of the factors including age, gender, residence and inpatient period was significantly related to inappropriate stay in univariate analysis.
This study indicated that a significant portion of stays were inappropriate. Efforts to decrease particularly hospital-related factors associated with inappropriate stay are needed.
评估某大学医院内科床位使用的合理性。
采用适宜性评估方案对住院适宜性进行评估。对402个住院日的随机样本进行了评估。
139个住院日(34.6%)被归类为不适宜。不适宜住院主要继发于医院相关因素。不适宜住院的两个主要因素是“诊断程序/会诊时间不当/延迟”(27%)和“获取检查结果延迟”(27%)。在单因素分析中,包括年龄、性别、居住地和住院时间在内的所有因素均与不适宜住院无显著相关性。
本研究表明,相当一部分住院是不适宜的。需要努力减少特别是与不适宜住院相关的医院相关因素。
