Abstract

Pediatric patients with chronic conditions frequently have unmet care needs, make extensive use of healthcare services, and often encounter fragmented, non-centered care. This study aimed to analyze the differences in the utilization of primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC) services by these patients according to sex, age, and complexity and to identify associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a basic health area of Madrid, including patients under 18 years. Among these patients, 15.7% had ≥1 chronic disease, 54.1% were male, the average age was 9.5 years, 3.5% had complexity, and 11.3% had multimorbidity. The mean number of contacts/year with the healthcare system was 9.1, including 8.3 contacts/year with PC (4.9 with pediatricians and 1.9 with nurses) and 0.8 contacts/year with HC (0.8 in external consultations and 0.01 hospitalizations). The factors associated with PC utilization were complexity; female sex; European origin; and diseases like asthma, epilepsy, stroke, recurrent urinary infection, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and anxiety, while older age was negatively associated. Thyroid disorders were significantly associated with HC utilization. These findings could help guide the design of optimized pediatric patient-centered care approaches to coordinate care across healthcare services and reduce high healthcare utilization, therefore improving the healthcare outcomes and quality of life for these patients.

摘要

患有慢性病的儿科患者经常有未得到满足的护理需求,大量使用医疗服务,并且经常遭遇分散的、非中心化的护理。本研究旨在分析这些患者根据性别、年龄和病情复杂程度在初级保健(PC)和医院护理(HC)服务利用方面的差异,并确定相关因素。在马德里的一个基本卫生区域进行了一项横断面研究,纳入了18岁以下的患者。在这些患者中,15.7%患有≥1种慢性病,54.1%为男性,平均年龄为9.5岁,3.5%病情复杂,11.3%患有多种疾病。每年与医疗系统的平均接触次数为9.1次,其中每年与PC的接触次数为8.3次(与儿科医生接触4.9次,与护士接触1.9次),与HC的接触次数为0.8次(门诊0.8次,住院0.01次)。与PC利用相关的因素包括病情复杂程度、女性、欧洲血统以及哮喘、癫痫、中风、复发性尿路感染、注意力缺陷多动障碍和焦虑等疾病,而年龄较大则呈负相关。甲状腺疾病与HC利用显著相关。这些发现有助于指导设计以儿科患者为中心的优化护理方法,以协调跨医疗服务的护理并降低高医疗利用率,从而改善这些患者的医疗结局和生活质量。
