Neumonía Adquirida en la Comunidad de manejo ambulatorio en Mayores de 65 años y más

2- Recomendación / Juicio del Panel y Evidencia

En personas de 65 años y más con diagnóstico de Neumonía Adquirida en la comunidad, el Ministerio de Salud SUGIERE NO USAR Índice de gravedad de la neumonía (PSI).
Comentarios generales del panel:
►Es necesario considerar otros factores para definir la conducta a seguir y predecir mortalidad en pacientes mayores de 65 años con neumonía adquirida en la comunidad (decisión de hospitalizar o no)

El Panel de Expertos analizó y debatió cada uno de las preguntas de la “Tabla de la evidencia a la decisión”, considerando tanto la evidencia de investigación, experiencia clínica, conocimiento de gestión o experiencia de los pacientes. Una vez consensuada la postura del panel respecto a las preguntas, emitieron un juicio seleccionando la opción de respuesta que mejor representaba la opinión del conjunto (destacada con color). Finalmente cuando el panel emitió su juicio sobre todas las preguntas, se emitió la recomendación.

A continuación se presenta la “Tabla de la evidencia a la decisión” con el resumen de los juicios, la evidencia de investigación evaluada, consideraciones adicionales y comentarios planteados por el panel.

 1.- ¿El problema es una prioridad?
No Probablemente no Probablemente sí Varía No lo sé

El problema ha sido definido como prioritario en el marco de las Garantías Explícitas en Salud (GES), régimen integral de salud que prioriza un grupo de patologías o problemas de salud, garantizando el acceso a tratamiento oportuno y de calidad.

 2.- ¿Qué tan precisa es este test?
Muy imprecisa Imprecisa Precisa Muy precisa Varía No lo sé

Muy precisa: La prueba PSI es capaz de diferenciar en forma confiable quienes padecen y no padecen la enfermedad o condición.
