“…The difficulties observed in the institutional documents point to the need to adjust the SSD purchase time with training in order to improve cost-effectiveness. Allowing the SSDs to be made available for use, prior to training, can contribute to an increase in the number of accidents and to a lower cost-effectiveness ratio of the SSDs (11,19) .…”

Objetivo: Descrever o processo de implementação do Programa de Prevenção de Acidentes com Materiais Perfurocortantes em um hospital público e identificar as medidas de controle adotadas antes e após a sua implementação. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório. As informações foram coletadas no banco de dados do Serviço de Segurança e Medicina do Trabalho e nos documentos institucionais. Resultados: Antes da implementação do programa, a instituição utilizava medidas de controle convencionais. Após a implementação do programa, observou-se o aperfeiçoamento das medidas preventivas convencionais e a adoção de medidas de controle de engenharia. Conclusão: O programa de prevenção permitiu a adoção de novas medidas de controle. A descrição do processo de implementação do programa, serve como modelo para sua implementação em outros hospitais.

“…Despite the recommendations, the identified articles (Table 1) show a variation in analysis structure in terms of perspective, time horizon and data source. None of the studies describe in detail the structure of their economic model except De Jager (2018) [8], who developed a Markov simulation model with one-year cycle and seven health states over 45 years. All studies take the number of NSIs from spontaneous reporting systems, either via retrospective review of reports, prospective collection of data from reports, or a summary of reports found in literature.…”

BackgroundNeedlestick injury (NSI) is one of the most burdensome professional hazards in any medical setting; it can lead to transmission of fatal infectious diseases, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus. In the United States, the annual cost burden was estimated as somewhere between $118 million to $591 million; in the United Kingdom it is approximated to be £500,000 (US$919,117.65) per the National Health Service.MethodThis is the first published paper on the national cost burden of NSIs in Japan. A systematic literature review was conducted to review previous study design in global studies and to extract parameter values from Japanese studies. We conducted abstract searches through PubMed and the Japan Medical Abstracts Society (Ichushi), together with grey literature and snowball searches. A simple economic model was developed to calculate cost burden of NSIs from a societal perspective over a one-year time horizon. We assumed all NSIs are reported and perfect adherence in post NSI management that presented in the labour compensation scheme. Local guidelines were also referenced to extract resource utilization. Lastly, a deterministic sensitivity analysis was conducted and a scenario analysis which considered a payer perspective was also included.Result and conclusionThe national cost burden of in-hospital NSIs is estimated as ¥33.4 billion (US$302 million) annually, based on an average cost per NSI of ¥63,711 (US$577) and number of NSIs at 525,000/year. 70% of the cost is due to initial laboratory tests, followed by productivity loss, estimated at 20% of the total cost. Cost of contaminated NSIs remains at 5% of the total cost. Change in number of NSIs significantly influences outcomes. Variation in post-exposure management practices suggests a need for NSI specific National guidelines and holistic labour compensation scheme development in Japan.
