This report describes a care bundles implementation project for COPD undertaken during 2013 in England and Wales. High-level data were collected on outcomes of care for 11 748 patients admitted with an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). Patient-level data on processes and outcomes of care were collected on 3272 COPD admissions, among which 1174 bundles were delivered. Analysis demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in mortality and length of hospital stay from some bundle elements. Outcomes, including bundle completion rates, were better when specialist respiratory review occurred. The results support wider use of care bundles for AECOPD.
本报告描述了 2013 年在英格兰和威尔士开展的 COPD 护理包实施项目。收集了 11748 例因 COPD 急性加重(AECOPD)入院患者的护理结果的高级别数据。对 3272 例 COPD 入院患者的护理过程和结果数据进行了收集,其中有 1174 个护理包得到了实施。分析显示,某些护理包的要素在降低死亡率和住院时间方面具有统计学意义。当进行专科呼吸评估时,结果(包括护理包完成率)更好。这些结果支持更广泛地将护理包应用于 AECOPD。
