Abstract
Objective
To describe health status and health care services of the people included in home care program (HC) through secondary use of data from the public system.
Design
Observational population-based study.
Location
Primary health care in Catalonia (2022).
Participants
All people over 65 years of age included in HC matched 1:1 with people not attended in HC by age, sex, socioeconomic level and primary care team (45,578 persons per group, 70.5% women and mean age 86.8 years).
Interventions
People receiving HC.
Main measurements
Morbidity, healthcare use and events (hospital admissions, mortality).
Results
53.6% of people in HC had a diagnosis of complex chronic patient and 5.7% of advanced chronic disease, compared to 1.1% and 0.05% in the non-HC population. There were more people in HC with heart failure, dementia, stroke, auricular fibrillation and COPD, with higher drug use and pharmaceutical expenditure (€1,446 vs. €732, ratio 1.98, 95%CI 1.95-2.00). Mortality was 20% in HC and 6% in the non-HC population (ratio 3.3, 95%CI 3.17-3.44). A stratified analysis by age showed a higher complexity, morbidity and events in people between 65 and 80 years of age with respect to those over 80 years of age in HC.
Conclusions
The results, which show increased morbidity and complexity in HC, especially in people under 80 years of age, may be useful to better identify care needs of these people and program planning.
期刊介绍:
Atención Primaria es una revista que publica trabajos de investigación relativos al ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. Desde el punto de vista conceptual, Atención Primaria asume el nuevo modelo de atención primaria de salud, orientado no sólo a la curación de la enfermedad, sino también a su prevención y a la promoción de la salud, tanto en el plano individual como en el de la familia y la comunidad. En estos nuevos aspectos que definen el modelo de atención primaria de salud es en los que se centran los trabajos de investigación que publica Atención Primaria, la primera revista de originales española creada para recoger y difundir la producción científica realizada desde los centros de atención primaria de salud sobre cuestiones como protocolización de la asistencia, programas de prevención, seguimiento y control de pacientes crónicos, organización y gestión de la asistencia primaria, entre otros.
