¿Deberían los adultos mayores someterse a cirugías invasivas? Nueva investigación ofrece guía

Casi 1 de cada 7 adultos mayores muere dentro del año después de someterse a una cirugía mayor, según un nuevo estudio que arroja luz sobre los riesgos que enfrentan las personas mayores cuando tienen procedimientos invasivos.

…

Los pacientes mayores con probable demencia (33% mueren dentro del año) y fragilidad (28%), así como aquellos que se someten a cirugías de emergencia (22%) son los más vulnerables.

La edad avanzada también aumenta el riesgo: los pacientes de 90 años o más tienen seis veces más probabilidades de morir que los de 65 a 69.

El estudio, de investigadores de la Escuela de Medicina de Yale, publicado en JAMA Surgery, aborda una importante brecha: aunque en Estados Unidos los pacientes de 65 años y más representan casi el 40% de todas las cirugías, faltan datos nacionales detallados sobre los resultados de estos procedimientos.

“Como campo, hemos sido realmente negligentes al no comprender los resultados quirúrgicos a largo plazo para los adultos mayores”, dijo la doctora Zara Cooper, profesora de cirugía en la Escuela de Medicina de Harvard y directora del Centro de Cirugía Geriátrica en Brigham and Women’s Hospital de Boston.

La información sobre cuántas personas mayores mueren, desarrollan discapacidades, ya no pueden vivir de forma independiente o tienen una calidad de vida significativamente peor después de una cirugía mayor es crítica.

“Lo que los pacientes mayores quieren saber es: ‘¿cómo será mi vida?'”, dijo Cooper. “Pero no hemos podido responder antes con datos de calidad”.

En el nuevo estudio, el doctor Thomas Gill y sus colegas de Yale examinaron datos de reclamos de Medicare Tradicional y de encuestas del estudio Nacional de Tendencias de Salud y Envejecimiento que abarcan de 2011 a 2017.

Se contabilizaron como cirugías mayores los procedimientos invasivos que se realizan en quirófanos con pacientes bajo anestesia general. Los ejemplos incluyen cirugías para reemplazar caderas rotas, mejorar el flujo sanguíneo en el corazón, extirpar cáncer del colon, extirpar vesículas biliares, reparar válvulas cardíacas y hernias, entre muchas más.

Los adultos mayores tienden a experimentar más problemas después de la cirugía si tienen afecciones crónicas como enfermedades cardíacas o renales; si ya están débiles o tienen dificultad para moverse; si su capacidad para cuidar de sí mismos está comprometida; y si tienen problemas cognitivos, apuntó Gill, profesor de medicina, epidemiología y medicina de investigación en Yale.

Hace dos años, el equipo de Gill realizó una investigación que mostró que 1 de cada 3 adultos mayores no había vuelto a su nivel básico de funcionamiento a los seis meses de una cirugía mayor. Los más propensos a recuperarse fueron los adultos mayores que se sometieron a cirugías electivas para las que podían prepararse con anticipación.

En otro estudio, publicado el año pasado en Annals of Surgery, su equipo encontró que se realizan 1 millón de cirugías mayores en personas de 65 años o más cada año, incluido un número significativo cerca del final de la vida.

“Esto abre todo tipo de preguntas: ¿estas cirugías se hicieron por una buena razón? ¿Cómo se define la cirugía adecuada? ¿Se consideraron las metas del paciente?”, dijo el doctor Clifford Ko, profesor de cirugía en la Escuela de Medicina de UCLA y director de la División de Investigación y Atención Óptima del Paciente en el Colegio Estadounidense de Cirujanos.

Como ejemplo de este tipo de toma de decisiones, Ko describió a un paciente que, a los 93 años, se enteró que tenía cáncer de colon en etapa temprana además de una enfermedad preexistente del hígado, el corazón y los pulmones. Después de una discusión en profundidad y de que se le explicara que el riesgo de malos resultados era alto, el paciente decidió no realizar un tratamiento invasivo.

Pero la mayoría de los pacientes eligen la cirugía. La doctora Marcia Russell, cirujana del Sistema de Atención de Salud del Área de Asuntos de Veteranos de Los Ángeles, describió a un paciente de 90 años que recientemente se enteró de que tenía cáncer de colon durante una internación prolongada por una neumonía.

“Hablamos con él sobre la cirugía y su meta era vivir el mayor tiempo posible”, dijo Russell. Para prepararlo en casa para la futura cirugía, le recomendó que hiciera fisioterapia y comiera más alimentos ricos en proteínas, para fortalecerse.

“Es posible que necesite de seis a ocho semanas para prepararse para la cirugía, pero está motivado para mejorar”, dijo Russell.

Las decisiones que toman las personas mayores acerca de someterse a una cirugía mayor tienen amplias implicaciones sociales.

A medida que crece la población de más de 65 años, “cubrir la cirugía va a ser un desafío fiscal para Medicare”, señaló el doctor Robert Becher, profesor asistente de cirugía en Yale y colaborador de investigación de Gill.

Un poco más de la mitad del gasto de Medicare se deriva a la atención quirúrgica para pacientes hospitalizados y ambulatorios, según un análisis de 2020.

Además, “casi todas las subespecialidades quirúrgicas experimentarán escasez de profesionales en los próximos años”, dijo Becher. Señaló que en 2033 habrá casi 30,000 cirujanos menos de los necesarios para satisfacer la demanda esperada.

Estas tendencias hacen que los esfuerzos por mejorar los resultados quirúrgicos para los adultos mayores sean aún más críticos. Sin embargo, el progreso ha sido lento. El Colegio Estadounidense de Cirujanos lanzó un importante programa de mejora de la calidad en julio de 2019, ocho meses antes de la pandemia de covid-19.

Requiere que los hospitales cumplan con 30 estándares para lograr una experiencia reconocida en cirugía geriátrica. Hasta ahora, están participando menos de 100 de los miles de hospitales elegibles.

Uno de los sistemas más avanzados del país, el Centro de Cirugía Geriátrica del Brigham and Women’s Hospital, ilustra lo que es posible. Allí, se examina a los adultos mayores candidatos y, aquellos a los que se considera frágiles se someten a una evaluación geriátrica exhaustiva y se reúnen con una enfermera que ayudará a coordinar la atención después del alta.

También se evalúa a los seniors tres veces al día en busca de delirio (un cambio agudo en el estado mental que a menudo afecta a los pacientes mayores hospitalizados), y se usan analgésicos no narcóticos. “El objetivo es minimizar los daños de la hospitalización”, dijo Cooper, quien dirige el esfuerzo.

Cooper comentó sobre una paciente a quien describió como una “mujer sociable de poco más de 80 años que todavía usaba jeans ajustados e iba a cócteles”. Esta mujer llegó a la sala de emergencias con diverticulitis aguda y delirio. Se llamó a un geriatra antes de la cirugía para ayudarla a controlar sus medicamentos y su ciclo de sueño y vigilia, y para recomendar intervenciones no farmacéuticas.

Con la ayuda de los miembros de la familia que la atendieron, “ella está muy bien”, dijo Cooper. “Es el tipo de resultado que trabajamos muy duro para lograr”.

98% of neurosurgery advances apply to DR patients

According to Dr. José Orlando Bidó Franco, technologies are used in neurosurgery to reduce morbidity and improve patient’s quality of life. In neurosurgery, the country is at the forefront of surgical procedures to treat complex brain conditions, working in tandem with non-invasive technologies that allow access to deep brain areas without opening the skull.

…

To provide a more precise description of the extent of advances in this field of medicine, consider neuronavigation, a piece of equipment that uses GPS technology to trace inside the brain to identify areas close to the area where the surgery will be performed while avoiding collateral damage.

Gamma Knife radiosurgery is another non-invasive radiation-based procedure that does not damage the skin or the brain that it passes through. There is 3 Tesla magnetic resonance equipment in the diagnostic section, which allows real-time analysis of brain behavior and study of the main nerve connection pathways. These encouraging details are provided by neurosurgeon José Orlando Bidó Franco, who admirably describes how technology has allowed neurosurgery to advance.

“I would say that 98% of the procedures done in neurosurgery in the world are done in our country, even though some emerging technologies have not yet arrived.” Dr. Bidó Franco discusses the main tools available to neurosurgeons in the country that make surgeries and other procedures more effective by reducing morbidity and improving patients’ quality of life. In this regard, he cited stereotaxic, a technique that allows access to deep brain structures with submillimeter precision while causing minimal damage to the surrounding tissue.

If the candidate fails to provide valid or appropriate domicile certificate during verification, then the candidate shall be considered as non domicile to the State of WB, then he/she can participate for Management Quota seats of Private colleges in the same round if such candidate requests in pen and paper before the nodal officer of concerned verification center.

The candidates shall be asked to provide the caste status afresh. if the candidate fails to provide valid document in favor of his/her caste status the candidate shall be considered as un-reserved category from that round for entire counseling process, provided he/she is having the appropriate cut off as per the changed category status to remain eligible in counseling process.

It is understood that there is possibility that central and State list of caste and sub caste may be different so candidate who had stated himself/herself as UR in central list while filling up form of NEET UG 2022 but has valid caste/economically weaker section certificate issued in the State of WB, can declare themselves as SC/ST/OBCA/OBCH/EWS in WB. They can participate for caste state quota seats counseling provided he/she is also domicile in WB.

If a candidate is domicile in WB but the SC/ST/OBC/EWS certificate is of other state, then he/she would be treated as Unreserved for state quota counseling and can participate for UR seats in state quota if achieved UR cut off 50 percentile in NEET UG 2022. They can however participate also for management quota seats as per combined rank in NEET UG 2022 exam. They can however participate in central institute if any, as caste candidate.

Candidates who have opted for PwD shall be asked if they have certificate from IPGIVIER Kolkata for PwD status as per 21 benchmark disabilities as per Disability Act of 2016 and if the answer is affirmative then he/she can participate for PwD seats counseling provided he/she is successfully verified by the college authority and also the domicile in WB. If he/she cannot provide appropriate PD certificate issued by the IPGrVIER Kolkata Medical board, and then shall be considered as non PwD candidate, provided the candidate still remains eligible after the changed status.

If a candidate cannot provide domicile/caste/PwD appropriate certificate during verification and not want to participate as non domicile/changed caste status/changed PwD status as applicable, then he/she shall be rejected by the verifying authority. If the candidate after rejection wants to appear in next round afresh, then he/she has to request for the same in pen and paper before the nodal officer of the concerned verification center for initialization of candidature data so that he/she shall be able to participate in subsequent round only, by fresh application and payment of counseling fees.

Even after first round of Physical Document Verification before online choice fill up, during admission stage also there shall be another round of document verification and if it Is found that the candidate is not having appropriate caste or PwD certificate as was stated during online Registration and Application stage then the seat of that round shall be cancelled and the candidate can be considered as Unreserved or Non PwD case for subsequent round provided the candidate still remains eligible with the changed status.

The age must be at least 17 completed years by 31 Dec 2022. Else the candidature shall be cancelled. This cancellation by this criteria is irrevocable.

The candidate must obtain minimum qualification with pass marks in class XII Higher Secondary or equivalent examination as per his or her caste status in WB. Else the candidature shall be cancelled.

The cut off for Management quota seats shall be 50 percentile for UR/EWS candidates or 45 percentile for UR PwD/EWS PwD candidate or 40 percentile for SC/ST/OBC candidates with or without PwD status. There is no caste reservation in management quota seats. For such quota seats domicile certificate is not required but age and class XII exam result criteria is applicable.

The candidates for Central quota seats and Management quota seats in Private AYUSH colleges do not require any domicile certificate. However, the Central quota seats in Private AYUSH colleges have caste reservation. They are not however eligible for the state quota seats due to want of domicile certificate.

Candidates eligible for State quota seats are also eligible to participate for Central quota seats and Management quota seats in the Private AYUSH colleges.

If the candidate fails to provide valid or appropriate domicile certificate during verification, then the candidate shall be considered for Management Quota and Central quota seats of Private colleges in the same round, if such candidate requests for the same in pen and paper before the nodal officer of the concerned verification center.

Alternatively, If State quota candidate fail in verification of documents, then the candidate may request the verifying authority to initialize his/her data so that he/she can participate in next round by applying and paying counseling fee afresh.

Unless the candidate wants initialization, the Online Registration and Application shall be one time for a particular candidate. Fee payment shall be one time for a particular candidate unless the candidate remains not reported for Round 2 and again wants to participate in mop up round or the candidate wants initialization as discussed earlier.
