Abstract
RAMIREZ-NAVA, José R. et al. Attachment to quality indicators in upper endoscopy at the Dr. Manuel Gea González General Hospital. Endoscopia [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.4, pp.147-153. Epub Nov 01, 2021. ISSN 2444-6483. https://doi.org/10.24875/end.m19000174.
The endoscopy of the upper digestive tract is used for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive disorders. The quality of health care can be measured by comparing the performance of an individual or group with a given benchmark.
Material and methods:
This is a descriptive study in which the database registry of the endoscopy service of the Dr. Manuel Gea González General Hospital was taken as a reference.
Results:
300 endoscopy reports were reviewed, of which 154 were from men (51.3%), and 146 from women (48.7%), with a median age of 56 years; of the 21 indicators of endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract that if they could be evaluated, 12 (57.1%) are met; The American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and the American College of Gastroenterology published the first version of quality indicators for higher endoscopy, being updated with new relevant data in 2015, on which the results were based.
Conclusions:
We consider that having carried out this study is a watershed to know our deficiencies in terms of the quality of our procedures, evaluate the reasons for non-compliance with the indicators and thus implement improvement actions, which will lead to the compliance suggested by the guidelines.
