To analyse the factors associated with length of stay (LOS) and death in nasogastric/nasoenteric tube (NG/NET)-fed patients.
A cross-sectional multicentre study.
Data collection took place from October 2017-April 2019, and the sample consisted of 365 participants from seven Brazilian hospitals. Demographic, clinical and therapeutic data were collected from the patients' medical records. Data analysis was performed using bivariate and multivariate tests, considering a significance level of p<.05.
Most patients were male, older adults, with high risk of death and highly dependent on nursing care. The LOS was associated with age, patient care complexity and length of NG/NET use. Death was associated with patient age. In the multivariate analysis, patients highly dependent on nursing care, and intensive and semi-intensive care had a greater chance of dying when compared with patients receiving minimal care. Screening for factors affecting LOS and death is important to plan effective nursing care.
分析与鼻胃/肠管(NG/NET)喂养患者住院时间(LOS)和死亡相关的因素。
一项横断面多中心研究。
数据收集于 2017 年 10 月至 2019 年 4 月进行,样本包括来自巴西 7 家医院的 365 名参与者。从患者的病历中收集人口统计学、临床和治疗数据。使用双变量和多变量检验进行数据分析,p<.05 为显著性水平。
大多数患者为男性、老年人,死亡风险高,高度依赖护理。LOS 与年龄、患者护理复杂性和 NG/NET 使用时间有关。死亡与患者年龄有关。在多变量分析中,与接受最低限度护理的患者相比,高度依赖护理以及接受强化和半强化护理的患者死亡的可能性更大。筛查影响 LOS 和死亡的因素对于计划有效的护理非常重要。
