C., A. M. Oliveira, et al. (2008). "[Evaluating Portuguese primary healthcare through Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs)]." 35. Unpublished data.

  4. PQI’s • IncludedinQI’s • Createdby AHRQ • BasedonACSC’s

  5. PQI1: Diabetes shorttermcomplication

  6. Aims Using several PQIs, compare Portugal`s primary healthcare system with other countries. (USA, Italy, Spain and Singapore)

  7. Participants & Methods Portugal • Database with hospitalizations in Portuguese mainland public hospitals • 2000 - 2007 All the following conditions

  8. Participants & Methods Italy • Patients between 20-64 years-old admitted in four Italian cities (Turin, Milan, Bologna, Rome) • 2000 - 2007 PQI#3 Diabetes Long-term Complications Admission Rate PQI#5 - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease PQI#7 - Hypertension without procedures PQI#8 - Congestive Heart Failure without procedures PQI#13 - Angina without procedures

  9. Participants & Methods Spain • Patients between 0-44 years-old admitted in public Spanish hospitals [3] • January – December (2000) Angina Asthma Cellulitis Congestive heart failure Congestive pulmonar disease Dehydration Diabetes Gastroenteritis Great evil Hypertension Hypoglycemia Urinary and kidney tract infections Pneumonia Severe ENT Infections Immunizable disorders Convulsions Pulmonary Tuberculosis Other tuberculosis Congenital syphilis Dental problems Iron deficiency anemia Nutritional deficiency Growth Failure Pelvic inflammatory disease [3] José LuisAlfonso, S., V. JoanSentís, et al. (2004). "[Characteristics of avoidable hospitalization in Spain]." Med Clin (Barc)122(17): 653-658.

  10. Participants & Methods Singapore • Nationwide data with hospitalizations in Singapore [4] • 1991 - 1998 • Asthma • Congestive heart failure • Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases • Diabetes mellitus • Hypertension [4] Niti M, Ng TP. Avoidable hospitalization rates in Singapore, 1991-1998: assessing trends and inequities of quality primary care. J Epidemiol Community Health. 2003; 57: 17-22.

  11. Participants & Methods USA • Patients over 18 years old admitted in hospitals of USA • Data calculated and made available by AHRQ [1] • 2004 - 2007 All 14 PQIs [1] Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Guide to Prevention Quality Indicators, Ver 3.1 [Internet]. 2007 Mar [cited 2009 Dec 7]. 59p. Available from: http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/downloads/pqi/pqi_guide_v31.pdf

  12. Data Collection • Data retrieved from acute care hospital database • Variables of interest present in selected articles from other countries (Pubmed,INE…) • We retrieved articles from PubMed using the following query: "prevention quality indicators" OR "ambulatory care sensitive" OR "avoidable hospitalizations" OR "avoidable hospitalization" OR "preventable hospitalization" OR "preventable hospitalizations" OR "PQI" OR "primary care quality" AND ”(country of interest)

  13. IndicatorCalculation • To calculate, we used a syntax (it allows filter admittance for a given disease) for each indicator of each article and also data provided by AHRQ • After obtaining a certain frequency for each case we divide it by the entire population of Portugal which results on a quotient similar to PQI. For PQI 2 and PQI 9 the denominator is not related to the population.

  25. Discussion Discussion

  26. Discussion Discussion • Italy vs Portugal • Higher rates in Italy in all of the five conditions compared. • Worse food habits might be a reason, due to a diet rich in lipids, carbohydrates, fatsandvegetableoils. [8] • Therefore, cultural, social andeconomicaldisparities are, amongotherfactors, na explanation for theresultsobtained[8]. [8] Statistics Portugal [internet]. Lisbon: INE 1864- [cited 2010 April 06]. Availablefrom: http://www.ine.pt

  27. Discussion Discussion • Singapore vs. Portugal • Portugal has for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease, Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension higher rates, explained by: • Environmental issues • Cultural issues • Singapore presents higher rates for: • Asthma (climate) • Congestive heart failure (diet enriched in lipids) • Comparison between these two countries is not reliable as this two countries have great cultural, economical and social disparities and the results for Singapore match the year 1998, as Portuguese results match the year 2000.

  28. Discussion Discussion • USA vs Portugal • USA hospitalization rates are higher than in Portuguese ones except PQI 13 and 14, which are related with angina and diabetes, respectively. • WHY? • USA is more developed than us and therefore: • greater pollution; • greater racial disparities; • greater obesity; • other conditions that may lead to higher rates of unnecessary hospitalizations. • However PQI 13 and 14 may be explained by our diet, which is often exaggerated in quantity and impoverished in quality.

  29. Discussion Discussion • Spain vs Portugal • In the comparison made with Spain, we found that in the 24 conditions faced Portugal has, in eight of them, higher rates. • ThisisoneofthemostreliableofourcomparisonsbecausePortugal and Spain have cultural and ethnical similarities due to geographical proximity (same pollution values, same food habits, etc). • Overall, we may infer that spain’s prevention system is worst than ours
