- R Cardiac Surgery Costs According to the Preoperative Risk in the Brazilian Public Health System(2015) TITINGER, David Provenzale; LISBOA, Luiz Augusto Ferreira; MATRANGOLO, Bruna La Regina; DALLAN, Luis Roberto Palma; DALLAN, Luis Alberto Oliveira; TRINDADE, Evelinda Marramon; ECKL, Ivone; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; MEJIA, Omar Asdrubal Vilca; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliBackground: Heart surgery has developed with increasing patient complexity. Objective: To assess the use of resources and real costs stratified by risk factors of patients submitted to surgical cardiac procedures and to compare them with the values reimbursed by the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). Method: All cardiac surgery procedures performed between January and July 2013 in a tertiary referral center were analyzed. Demographic and clinical data allowed the calculation of the value reimbursed by the Brazilian SUS. Patients were stratified as low, intermediate and high-risk categories according to the EuroSCORE. Clinical outcomes, use of resources and costs (real costs versus SUS) were compared between established risk groups. Results: Postoperative mortality rates of low, intermediate and high-risk EuroSCORE risk strata showed a significant linear positive correlation (EuroSCORE: 3.8%, 10%, and 25%; p < 0.0001),as well as occurrence of any postoperative complication (EuroSCORE: 13.7%, 20.7%, and 30.8%, respectively; p = 0.006). Accordingly, length-of-stay increased from 20.9 days to 24.8 and 29.2 days (p < 0.001). The real cost was parallel to increased resource use according to EuroSCORE risk strata (R$ 27.116,00 +/- R$ 13.928,00 versus R$ 34.854,00 +/- R$ 27.814,00 versus R$ 43.234,00 +/- R$ 26.009,00, respectively; p < 0.001). SUS reimbursement also increased (R$ 14.306,00 +/- R$ 4.571,00 versus R$ 16.217,00 +/- R$ 7.298,00 versus R$ 19.548,00 +/- R$935,00; p < 0.001). However, as the EuroSCORE increased, there was significant difference (p < 0.0001) between the real cost increasing slope and the SUS reimbursement elevation per EuroSCORE risk strata. Conclusion: Higher EuroSCORE was related to higher postoperative mortality, complications, length of stay, and costs. Although SUS reimbursement increased according to risk, it was not proportional to real costs.
- Evidences in the treatment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus(2015) OLIVEIRA, Matheus Fernandes de; REIS, Rodolfo Casimiro; TRINDADE, Evelinda Marramon; PINTO, Fernando Campos GomesIntroduction: idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is characterized by gait apraxia, cognitive dysfunction and urinary incontinence. There are two main treatment options: ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) and endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). However, there are doubts about which modality is superior and what type of valve should be applied. We are summarizing the current evidence in INPH treatment. Methods: an electronic search of the literature was conducted on the Medline, Embase, Scielo and Lilacs databases from 1966 to the present to obtain data published about INPH treatment. Results: the treatment is based on three pillars: conservative, ETV and VPS. The conservative option has fallen into disuse after various studies showing good results after surgical intervention. ETV is an acceptable mode of treatment, but the superiority of VPS has made the latter the gold standard. Conclusion: well-designed studies with a high level of appropriate evidence are still scarce, but the current gold standard for treatment of INPH is conducted using VPS.
- General thoracic surgery workforce: training, migration and practice profile in Brazil(2015) TEDDE, Miguel Lia; PETRERE JR., Oleno; PINTO FILHO, Darcy Ribeiro; PEREIRA, Sergio Tadeu L. Fortunato; MONTEIRO, Rosangela; SASSAKI, Ana Maria; TOGORO, Silvia Yukari; TRINDADE, Evelinda; SAAD JR., Roberto; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliOBJECTIVES: This study is aimed at drawing the profile of the Brazilian general thoracic surgeon. This experience has been fruitful in other areas, helping attract manpower and to better serve the interests of other Societies. This is the first survey of this kind in Brazil and in Latin America. METHODS: An electronic invitation was sent to the members of the Brazilian Society of Thoracic Surgery to answer a web-based questionnaire and physicians potentially practising thoracic surgery, with 82 questions including demographic data, medical education, training in general and thoracic surgery, continued professional education, practice profile, research activities and certifications, participation in medical societies, income/compensation and career satisfaction. Quantitative and qualitative analyses are presented. RESULTS: The estimated level of participation was 82% (468). The mean age of the active general thoracic surgeon is 43.2 (range 45.3 +/- 11.4) years. Women comprised 8% (37) of respondents, and 60% (277) of the participants had graduated from public medical schools. Four states nationwide trained 88% (391) of the thoracic surgeons. Only 32% (149) of the surgeons work exclusively with thoracic surgery. The public health system is the main provider of income for thoracic surgeons. Only 11 of 27 states have an adequate, although poorly distributed, number of thoracic surgeons. CONCLUSIONS: Although Brazil has a reasonable number of general thoracic surgeons, inequalities in their distribution through the country arise as one of the most concerning problems of the speciality. The results of this study show that leadership actions and consistent government policies are required to improve work conditions and provide efficient workforce planning.
