Albuminemia e terapia medicamentosa no prognóstico de idosos hospitalizados

Abstract: ResumoObjetivOs. O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar a relação entre os níveis de albumina sérica, medicamentos utilizados, tempo de internação e número de doenças com o prognóstico de indivíduos idosos hospitalizados. MétOdOs. Estudo descritivo transversal e retrospectivo por meio de revisão de prontuários. Foram coletadas variáveis tais como: doença motivadora da internação, albuminemia, medicamentos utilizados e sua afinidade com a albumina e tempo de internação em uma população de idosos de um h… Show more

“…In this paper, hypoalbuminemia may be found in 87% of the studied elders at admission and in 90% after six days, being the averages statistically different (p=0,002). In a research performed in 179 elders hospitalized in a hospital in Brasilia, 84,3% (n=151) of the patients had hypoalbuminemia and an average of 2,74 ± 0,46g/dL, statistically different from the group with normal albumin levels (p=0,001) 8 . Theses results are quite close one to the other, either considering the prevalence or the average, something that helps to confirm in a certain measure, the results of this study.…”

“…The number of patients to be interviewed was calculated through a sampling formula, using the following parameters: sample error 5%, level of confidence 95%, population 900 people (average of elders hospitalized each month in the hospital), 84% was the maximum percentage (as per a study performed in 2010 8 . It was needed to have 169 elderly patients in the study plus a 10% for possible losses, a total of 186 individuals to be studied that should conform to the inclusion and exclusion criteria that will be noted below.…”

“…Salgado et al63 investigated the relationship between serum albumin levels, drugs used, length of hospitalization and number of diseases within the prognosis of hospitalized elderly and describe a mathematical equation obtained by this study which shows that albumin and days of hospitalization were inversely correlated with death and directly correlated with the number of drugs bound to albumin. A previously discussed study by Carvalho et al55 covers the prevalence of smoking among elderly patients Also previous discussed are two studies, one by Gai et al28 on factors related to falls of a group of independent and autonomous elderly women, one by Gawryszewski29 on characteristics of fall related injuries.…”
