All public licensed hospitals of Germany are obligated since 2004 to establish and to publish a structured biennial quality report. The aim of this study was to analyse the quality reports from 2008 of clinics with nuclear-medicine therapy ward and to investigate developments for the inpatient nuclear-medicine therapy by comparing the results with the quality reports of the years 2004 and 2006.
All available structured quality reports of clinics with a nuclear-medicine therapy ward of the years 2004, 2006 and 2008 were evaluated.
The total number of inpatient treatment cases in 2008 amounted to 54190 (2006: 54884; 2004: 57366). This corresponds to a decrease of 5.5% in comparison to 2004. The number of the therapy wards decreased at the same time to currently 117 (2006: 120; 2004: 124). Remarkable changes were found in the spectrum of the main diagnosis. Thus, the most frequent diagnosis with the ICD-code E05 (hyperthyroidism) decreased continuously from 37747 treatments in 2004 and 34764 in 2006 to 31756 in the year 2008. In contrast, the ICD-diagnoses for thyroid cancer (C73, Z08) with 14761 cases in 2008 increased with time (2006: 13426; 2004: 12581).
In analogy to the observations from Europe after introduction of an iodine prophylaxis the improved iodine supply in Germany has led to a decline of the radioiodine therapy due to hyperthyroidism.
自2004年起,德国所有公立许可医院都有义务编制并发布一份结构化的两年期质量报告。本研究的目的是分析2008年设有核医学治疗病房的诊所的质量报告,并通过将结果与2004年和2006年的质量报告进行比较,调查住院核医学治疗的发展情况。
对2004年、2006年和2008年设有核医学治疗病房的诊所的所有可用结构化质量报告进行评估。
2008年住院治疗病例总数为54190例(2006年:54884例;2004年:57366例)。与2004年相比,这相当于减少了5.5%。与此同时,治疗病房数量降至目前的117个(2006年:120个;2004年:124个)。主要诊断范围出现了显著变化。因此,国际疾病分类代码为E05(甲状腺功能亢进)的最常见诊断从2004年的37747例治疗和2006年的34764例持续下降至2008年的31756例。相比之下,2008年甲状腺癌的国际疾病分类诊断(C73、Z08)有14761例,随时间增加(2006年:13426例;2004年:12581例)。
与欧洲在引入碘预防措施后的观察结果类似,德国碘供应的改善导致了因甲状腺功能亢进而进行的放射性碘治疗减少。
