Características y uso del documento de voluntades anticipadas en un hospital terciario

Abstract

Resumen Objetivo Evaluar las caracteristicas de los pacientes que otorgan documentos de voluntades anticipadas (DVA) y su uso en la practica asistencial. Metodologia Estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo, de todos los DVA registrados en un hospital universitario en el periodo 2001-2011. Se investigaron las caracteristicas clinico-demograficas de los pacientes en el momento de su otorgamiento y, mediante el analisis de la historia clinica (HC) electronica, el uso posterior de los DVA. Resultados Se registraron 130 DVA. En el momento de su otorgamiento, la edad media era 61 anos, un 64% estaba diagnosticado de enfermedad neoplasica, un 73% era totalmente independiente (Barthel) y un 36,4% no presentaba comorbilidad (Charlson). Las mujeres tenian, respecto a los hombres, una edad ligeramente superior (63 vs. 60, p = 0,17), otorgaban en mayor medida (61,5% vs. 31,5%, p = 0,08), su enfermedad era menos relevante (p = 0,001) y presentaban una menor comorbilidad (p = 0,01). Se revisaron 361 actos medicos (193 ingresos hospitalarios y 168 visitas a urgencias). Al finalizar el estudio, 74 pacientes estaban vivos (57%), 37 habian fallecido (28%) y en 19 casos (15%) se habia perdido su evolucion. De los fallecidos, 13 (35,1%) presentaban incapacidad de decision en la fase terminal de su enfermedad y en 9 (69%) se realizaron uso y referencia expresa a los DVA en la fase final de su enfermedad. Conclusiones El numero de DVA registrados es escaso; no interfieren en la practica asistencial y los mismos son considerados en la toma de decisiones al final de la vida.
