Nota: El registro de SEMICYUC no es extensivo a todos los casos de ingresos en UCI que se han producido en Espa?a, dado que los datos s?lo han sido comunicados por 138 hospitales de la totalidad de los que existen en Espa?a, pero puede ser muy v?lido para extraer conclusiones sobre la gravedad de la enfermedad y sus repercusiones en el sistema sanitario.
Gripe
Uno de cada cuatro pacientes con gripe A ingresados en UCI falleci? a causa de esta enfermedad, seg?n SEMICYUC
Los intensivistas destacan que la "respuesta coordinada en Europa" contra la gripe A ha salvado la vida de 4.000 pacientes j?venes
MADRID, 26 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -
Uno de cada cuatro casos graves de gripe A ingresado en una UCI espa?ola falleci? a causa de esta enfermedad, seg?n el registro de casos graves de esta enfermedad creado a partir de los datos de 138 hospitales del pa?s por los expertos de la Sociedad Espa?ola de Medicina Intensiva, Cr?tica y Unidades Coronarias (SEMICYUC), donde, desde junio hasta ayer, se registraron 872 pacientes, de los que 416 completaron su evoluci?n (47,7%)
Las cifras de este registro fueron presentados hoy en Madrid por el presidente de la SEMICYUC, Crist?bal Le?n, y por el jefe del servicio de Medicina Intensiva del Hospital Joan XXIII de Tarragona y coordinador del registro europeo de casos graves de la enfermedad, Jordi Rello, para quien la alta tasa de supervivencia en UCI alcanzada por los pacientes espa?oles, un 20 por ciento superior a la registrada en las de los pa?ses de Lationam?rica, se debi? "a la r?pida hospitalizaci?n y tratamiento con antivirales", recibido por el 99,5 por ciento de estas personas.
Seg?n el doctor Rello, la hospitalizaci?n de los afectados en Espa?a se realiz? en una media de tres d?as, frente a los 6 de Latinoam?rica, y la administraci?n de antivirales --que en Espa?a se administraron al 99,5% de los pacientes ingresados en UCI-- se hicieron en cuatro d?as, frente a los ocho de media que se tardaba en los pa?ses latinoamericanos. A su juicio, este ?xito se debi? "a la anticipaci?n, coordinaci?n y buen trabajo realizado por sus expertos y las autoridades sanitarias".
M?S OBESOS Y ENFERMOS DE EPOC
El registro de pacientes de gripe A que pasaron por la UCI en Espa?a revela que la edad media de estas personas fue de 43 a?os y que en su mayor?a (54%) eran hombres. La comorbilidad aparec?a en el 69 por ciento de los casos, predominando como factores de riesgo la obesidad (35,9%), la EPOC (16%) y el asma (12%), seguidos de la diabetes (10%), las cardiopat?as (6,4%), el embarazo (5,8%) o la enfermedad renal (4,7%), entre otras.
Los responsables de SEMICYUC rechazaron valorar de forma directa la estrategia de la Organizaci?n Mundial de la Salud (OMS) frente a la pandemia, que hoy se eval?a en el seno del Consejo de Europa por las acusaciones que apuntan a una posible 'exageraci?n' de las consencuencias de la enfermedad en beneficio de la industria farmac?utica.
Para el doctor Rello, las medidas de preparaci?n frente a una pandemia como la de la gripe A "no deben generar alarma, sino trasmitir confianza" y la campa?a desarrollada en este campo "permiti? dar una respuesta eficaz al problema" y salvar vidas, de lo que se siente "satisfecho". "Gracias a la respuesta coordinada en Europa, se han salvado unos 4.000 pacientes j?venes, que est?n haciendo ahora vida normal", recalc?.
"SE SAB?A QUE EL VIRUS ERA POCO VIRULENTO"
Sin embargo, puntualiz? que, desde el primer momento, se sab?a que este virus "era poco virulento", aunque s? de f?cil trasmisi?n y que "era diferente a los que se hab?an visto antes, porque afectaban m?s a las personas j?venes". Otra particularidad de este virus se observ? en el registro, donde comprobaron que "tres de cada cuatro de estos pacientes presentaron una neumon?a directa por el virus de la gripe que afectaba al pulm?n". "Eso es nuevo", insisti?, asegurando que, durante el pasado noviembre, cuando la pandemia alcanz? su pico en Espa?a, "una de cada cuatro camas estaba ocupada por un paciente con gripe A".
Aunque reconoce que a?n no se sabe por qu? la gripe pand?mica afecta de forma m?s grave a las personas obesas, embarazadas o enfermos cr?nicos, asegura que se ha constatado ya que, parad?gicamente, las personas infectadas de VIH superaron esta gripe casi sin problemas adicionales. De hecho, s?lo el 2,1 por ciento de los pacientes con VIH/sida.
Apuestan por mantener activo el registro de casos graves de gripe A "en los pr?ximos meses a fin de registrar la mayor parte de los casos y sus posibles variaciones", a la espera de que se pueda producir, en oto?o o primavera, un nuevo brote pand?mico, ya que, para que, en la actualidad, est? inmunizada menos del 50 por ciento de la poblaci?n.

MADRID, Jan. 26 (EUROPA PRESS) --
One in four serious cases of influenza admitted to a Spanish ICU died of the disease, according to the record of serious cases of this disease created from data from 138 hospitals in the country by the experts of the Spanish Society of Medicine Intensive and Critical and Coronary Units (SEMICYUC), where, from June to yesterday, there were 872 patients, of whom 416 completed their development (47.7%)
The figures in this record were presented today in Madrid by the President of SEMICYUC, Crist?bal Le?n, and the head of the department of Intensive Care Medicine Hospital of Tarragona Joan XXIII, coordinator of the European registry of severe cases of the disease, Jordi Rello, for whom the high survival rate in ICU patients achieved by the Spanish, 20 percent higher than that recorded in the countries of lationamerica, was due "to the prompt hospitalization and treatment with antivirals," received 99.5 percent of these people.
According to Dr. Rello, hospitalization of those affected in Spain took place in an average of three days, compared to 6 in Latin America, and administration of antivirals - in Spain were administered to 99.5% of patients admitted to UCI - were made in four days, compared with eight half it took to Latin American countries. In his view, this success was "the anticipation, coordination and good work of its experts and health authorities.
MORE OBESE AND SICK OF COPD
The registration of influenza patients who went through the ICU in Spain reveals that the average age of these persons was 43 years and most (54%) were men. Comorbidity appeared in 69 percent of cases, predominantly as risk factors for obesity (35.9%), COPD (16%) and asthma (12%), followed by diabetes (10%), the heart disease (6.4%), pregnancy (5.8%) or renal disease (4.7%), among others.
Those responsible for SEMICYUC directly rejected assessing the strategy of the World Health Organization (WHO) against the pandemic, which today is evaluated in the Council of Europe over allegations that point to a possible 'exaggeration' of the consencuencias disease benefit the pharmaceutical industry.
For Dr. Rello, preparedness measures against a pandemic such as influenza A "should not cause alarm, but to convey confidence" and the campaign developed in this field enabled an effective response to the problem and save lives, how it feels "satisfied". "Thanks to the coordinated response in Europe, have saved some 4,000 young patients are now doing normal life," he said.
"It was known that the virus was of low virulence"
However, he pointed that since the beginning, it was known that this virus was not very virulent, "although they easily transmitted and that" was different from that seen before, because it particularly affects young people. " Another feature of the virus was found in the registry, where they found that "three out of four of these patients had pneumonia directly by the influenza virus affecting the lung." "That's new," he insisted, saying that during last November, when the epidemic peaked in Spain, "one in four beds was occupied by a patient with influenza.
While acknowledging that it is not known why the pandemic affects more severely obese people, pregnant or chronically ill, says that is already evident that, paradoxically, people infected with HIV almost beat this flu without further problems. In fact, only 2.1 percent of patients with HIV / AIDS.
Bid to maintain active registration of severe cases of influenza A in the coming months to record most of the cases and its possible variations, pending that may occur in autumn or spring, a new outbreak pandemic because, for at present, is immunized less than 50 percent of the population.
