Descrizione indicatore

L’indicatore ci consente di calcolare il numero di interventi chirurgici di riparazione di aneurisma dell’aorta addominale non rotto eseguiti in un anno in una struttura ospedaliera.
Questo numero rappresenta il "volume" di interventi (indicatore di "volume").

Come si legge

L’indicatore si riferisce al grado di "competenza" e di "sicurezza" delle cure prestate.

Più alto è il numero di interventi chirurgici di riparazione di aneurisma dell’aorta addominale non rotto eseguiti in una struttura ospedaliera, maggiore è il grado di esperienza della struttura stessa e la sicurezza del trattamento offerto.

Fonte del dato

Programma Nazionale Esiti 2023.
Confronto tra strutture calcolato su dati 2022.

Nota bene: per tener conto di errori nell’attribuzione di condizioni/interventi a singoli ospedali, sono state escluse dalle analisi tutte le strutture con volumi di attività molto bassi in relazione alla condizione considerata (volume di attività minimo 5 casi/anno). 

Valutazione istituzionale

Il Gruppo di lavoro del Programma Nazionale Esiti ha stabilito che un ospedale dovrebbe eseguire almeno 60 interventi all’anno di riparazione di aneurisma dell’aorta addominale non rotto.
 
Il semaforo è calcolato sulla base dei seguenti documenti ufficiali:

Altre informazioni

Codici ICD-9-CM selezionati
Sono inclusi tutti i ricoveri, in regime ordinario, con diagnosi principale o secondaria di aneurisma dell’aorta addominale senza rottura (ICD9-CM 441.4) e con le seguenti procedure in qualsiasi campo:

• Resezione dell'aorta con anastomosi (ICD-9-CM 38.34);
• Resezione dell’aorta addominale con sostituzione (ICD-9-CM 38.44);
