1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveIt is necessary to deepen in the knowledge of the Basic Minimum Set of Data (CMBD-RSS) of patients with chronic pathology associated and frequent hospitalisations (the subacute care). The aim of this study was to analyse the sanitary information of these patients, once initiated the subacute program.

methodsWe used data of 660 patients hospitalised in the subacute care unit at the Santa Caterina Hospital, sanitary region of Girona, from October 2013 to December 2014. The CMBD data base was analysed using SPSS Statistics 15.0. We verified the relationship between variables i.e. length of stay and age; origin of the patient admission and length of stay (Mann-Whitney U Test); main diagnosis and length of stay (Kruskal-Wallis). We also studied the relationship between origin of the patient admission and main diagnosis (Chi-square test and Cramer's V).

resultsThe average age of patients was 83 years old, and mainly female profile (55%). Five illnesses concentrated 80% of all patients' diagnosed diseases (mental health problems, nervous system diseases, circulatory problems, respiratory system problems and genitourinary infections). Patients admitted from hospitals had a shorter length of stay (8 days) than patients admitted from home (9 days). 80% of cases patients come back home after the hospital discharge.

conclusionsPeople with chronic pathology associated and frequent hospitalisations are an important group of risk. Elderly and clinical decompensations add complexity to these cases. The evaluation of these patients at the admission and discharge procedures optimise the use of the resources.
