Introdução à Medicina I 2007/2008 Pediatric Quality Indicators
INTRODUCTION “Quality day care from infancy clearly has positive effects on children’s intellectual, verbal, phisical and cognitive development, especially when children would otherwise experience impoverished and relatively unstimulating home environments. Care of unknown quality may have deleterious effects.” Lamb’s,Michael. Handbook of Child Psychology 1998. 104
Background • In 1994 the Health Care Cost and Utilization Project were developed at the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality; (1) • 33 indicators were designed to evaluate quality at hospitals; (1) www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/documentation.htm (1) AHRQ: Agency for healthcare research and quality [Internet]. USA; Measures of Pediatric Health Care Quality Based on Hospital Administrative Data, The Pediatric Quality Indicators.2007 [about 1 screen] Available from: http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/downloads/pdi/
Background • Pediatric Quality Indicators - “Set of measures that focus on children’s health care quality” (1) - were created; • The population in study is submitted to several requirements; SS (1) AHRQ: Agency for healthcare research and quality [Internet]. USA; Measures of Pediatric Health Care Quality Based on Hospital Administrative Data, The Pediatric Quality Indicators.2007 [about 1 screen] Available from: http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/downloads/pdi/
Background • Provider-level indicators – include cases where a secondary diagnosis code flags a potentially preventable complication;(1) • Accidental Puncture or Laceration • Decubitus Ulcer • Foreign Body Left During Procedure • Iatrogenic Pneumothorax in Neonates • Iatrogenic Pneumothorax in Non-neonates • Pediatric Heart Surgery Mortality • Pediatric Heart Surgery Volume (1).

USA; Measures of Pediatric Health Care Quality Based on Hospital Administrative Data, The Pediatric Quality Indicators.2007 [about 1 screen] Available from: http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/downloads/pdi/
Postoperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma • Postoperative Respiratory Failure • Postoperative Sepsis • Postoperative Wound Dehiscence • Selected Infections Due to Medical Care • Transfusion Reaction • Area-level indicators – cases where a patient’s risk of the complication occurred in a separate hospitalization;(1) • Asthma Admission Rate • Diabetes Short-term Complication Rate • Gastroenteritis Admission Rate • Perforated Appendix Admission Rate • Urinary Tract Infection Admission Rate • (1).

Justification This study can be considered important and innovative since pediatric care is significantly different from adult care: • Evaluation of hospitals’ conditions focused on the quality of the pediatric services provided.
Justification Spread the results of our PDI’s studies Choose the best pediatric services
Justification Appeal to hospital’s attention in what concerns to their position in the ranking Improve services’ quality
Aims • Evaluate and compare the quality of Pediatric services in Portugal. • Considering: Location; economical groups and evolution among several years • Compare our results with other studies that have already been done: Sábado Magazine and USA Pediatric Quality Indicators.
Tipe of study • Retrospective • Analytic study • Longitudinal • Observational
Participants1. Targetpopulation Our study will focus on all impatient pediatric episodes of Portuguese Hospitals, based on administrative and clinical data, from 2000 to 2005. But…
Who is included in pediatric care? • People aged under 18 years; • Not in Major Diagnostic Category 14 (Pregnancy, Childbirth & the Puerperium); • Not in adult Diagnostic Related Groups. (1) (1). AHRQ: Agency for healthcare research and quality [Internet]. USA; Measures of Pediatric Health Care Quality Based on Hospital Administrative Data, The Pediatric Quality Indicators.2007 [about 1 screen] Available from: http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/downloads/pdi/
Example – Accidental Puncture or Laceration (PDI1) • The Accidental Puncture or Laceration indicator is intended to flag cases of complications that arise due to technical difficulties in medical care, specifically those involving an accidental puncture or laceration.

U.S. department of health and human services; AHRQ Quality Indicators Pediatric Quality Measures Clearinghouse [internet], USAgovernment; 2007, March; Available from http://www.qualitymeasures.ahrq.gov/summary/summary.aspx?doc_id=10696
Open SPSS data base and apply the general inclusion and exclusion criteria
b) Calculate the numerator Discharges among cases meeting the inclusion and exclusion rules for the denominator with ICD-9-CM code denoting accidental cut, puncture, perforation, or hemorrhage during medical care in any secondary diagnosis field. (3) (3). McDonald, K., Measures of Pediatric Health Care Quality Based on Hospital Administrative Data: The Pediatric Quality Indicators, 2006 February 20. 32
1. Apply the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria of the numerator of the chosen PDI • ICD-9-CM Accidental Puncture or Laceration Codes Obtained numerator: 997
c) Calculate the denominator 1. Apply the general inclusion and exclusion criteria of PDI’s 2. Apply the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria of the denominator of the chosen PDI Included cases: • All medical and surgical discharges under age 18 defined by specific DRGs - Diagnostic Related Groups, using ICD-9-CM codes available in Appendix B (Surgical Discharge DRGs) and E (Medical Discharge DRGs).
Excluded cases: • with ICD-9-CM code denoting technical difficulty (e.g., accidental cut, puncture, perforation, or laceration) in the principal diagnosis field; • MDC 14 (pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium); • normal newborn (DRG 391); • Newborns with birth weight less than 500 grams, available in Appendix G: Low Birth Weight Categories. • Obtained denominator: 784820
d) Divide the numerator by the denominator to obtain the final result. Final result: (779/ 784820) = 1,245 per 1000 Comparative Result from AHRQ (4):0,871 per 1000 (4). U.S. department of health and human services; AHRQ Quality Indicators Pediatric Quality Indicators Comparative Data for Provider Indicators [internet], USAgovernment; 2007, March; Available from: http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/downloads/pdi/pdi_provider_comparative_v31.pdf
Results were divided in: • Discharge Data: evaluation and comparison of the PDI’s along the years, from 2000 to 2005 • Tipe A: analysis by economic groups: • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • Tipe C: analysis by administrative division • 1 – Central Hospital • 2 – District Hospital • 3 – Distric Hospital of level 1 • Hospital reside :study includes the analysis of the variable “Hospital ID”, which means the values of Pediatric Quality Indicators were calculated to each Hospital and compared. Decrease of tecnology, complexity and specialisation
PDI 1 - Accidental Puncture or Laceration PDI 1= 997 / 784820 = 1,245 per 1000 Rate per 1000 (AHRQ)= 0,871
PDI 3 - Foreign Body left during procedure PDI 3 = 34 / 784810 = 0,043322588 per 1000 Rate per 1000 (AHRQ)= 0,034
PDI 7 - Pediatric Heart Surgery Volume PDI 7 frequency = 118
PDI 12 - Selected infection due to medical care Central Hospitals 8 7 6 5 ‰ 4 3 2 1 PDI 12 = 69 / 569861 = 0,12 per 1000 0 Rate per 1000 (AHRQ)= 2.677 2 6 24 54 88
PDI 16 - Gastroenteritis admission rate PDI 16 frequency = 38469
5. Compare our PDIs results with the ones obtained in other studies
There are studies that evaluate the Quality of Pediatric Services based on Pediatric Quality Indicators
Investigation published by Sábado Magazine • Ranking of the best pediatric services in Pediatric Health care (5) (5). Sábado, 2007, December, Supl 188: 8-18.
Expected Results • Differences between results of litoral and inner country PDIs, being the litoral services the most developed. • Evolution of the PDIs from 2000 to 2005. • Similarites and differences between our results and the ones obtained by other studies.
