哮喘的计算机监测系统
2011/11/23
摘要
目的:哮喘是一种慢性炎症性气道疾病,主要表现为急性加重与无症状期交替出现。
设计和方法:研究对象为以色列南部重大健康维持组织(HMO)的注册人员(230000例成人,年龄为20~65岁)。本试验为回顾性研究,数据来自于2000年~2004年间常规用于服务的数项计算机数据库:药店;医政;初级医疗机构建立的数字化患者个人病历。
结果:基于来自72个初级医疗机构的数据,研究期间内,11054例成人同时采用β2激动剂和激素治疗,这些患者可能为哮喘患者。相反,仅有4061例成人诊断为哮喘。基于两个数据库,2569例成人同时出现在两数据库。这些结果显示,可以开发计算机自动监测系统,监测哮喘患者,同时确定其服务的质量。
研究的局限性:来自于不同数据库的数据在质量上参差不齐,使得数据管理存在一定难度。
实际意义:采用比较的方式可能更便于开发类似的监测系统,用于监测不同的慢性疾病,或引进管理指标来确保服务质量。
原创性/价值:本研究重点关注了如何采用计算机HMO数据相关信息来开发自动哮喘监测模型。

Abstract
PURPOSE: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airways disease characterized by acute exacerbations interspaced by symptom-free periods. Its management imposes a substantial burden on healthcare services, as well as personal suffering and significant financial tolls. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate links between routinely used computerized databases and to establish an automatic mechanism for monitoring asthma patients.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The study population was all adult subscribers to a major health maintenance organization (HMO) in Southern Israel (230,000 adults, age 20-65 years). Relevant data for this retrospective analysis (2000 to 2004) were extracted from several computerized databases routinely used in the service: pharmacy; administrative; and each person’s personal computerized medical file in the primary care clinic.
FINDINGS: Based on data from 72 regional primary care clinics, during the study period, 11,054 adults were treated simultaneously by beta2 agonists and steroids--assumed to be asthmatics. In contrast, asthma diagnosis was recorded in only 4,061 personal files. The intersection between two databases yielded 2,569 persons recorded in both. These findings attest to the feasibility of developing computerized automatic surveillance systems for monitoring asthma patients with certain algorithms to assure service quality.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: Data extracted from the various databases were unequal quality, a factor that imposed data management difficulties.
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Similar surveillance systems can be developed relatively easily by using comparable algorithms for monitoring different chronic diseases or introducing management indices to secure quality of services.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The paper focuses on developing an automatic asthma monitoring model, using information from routinely used computerized HMO DBs.
