Abstract
Objetivo: Evaluar la calidad del diagnóstico del parte de baja en los procesos de incapacidad temporal. Material y Método: Estudio observacional descriptivo, de una muestra aleatoria de 1200 pacientes en baja laboral de duración superior a 15 días, controlados por la Unidad Médica de Valoración de Incapacidades (UMVI) de Córdoba, desde 1-01-2007 a 30-06-2008. Fuentes de datos: Partes de baja y alta de los trabajadores, recogidos en la UMVI, contando con el asesoramiento del Médico del Trabajo. Se valoró la calidad mediante la reproducibilidad, a través del índice kappa, y la validez del diagnóstico por grupos de la CIE-9-MC con los parámetros sensibilidad, especificidad y valores predictivos. Resultados: La mayor concordancia se obtuvo para el grupo diagnóstico de trastornos mentales (kappa 0,86; error estándar 0,03). La sensibilidad más alta se produjo en los grupos diagnósticos V (82,9%), XII (78,6%) y XIII (78,4%), y los valores predictivos positivos fueron superiores en los grupos V (94,6%), XIII (85%) y II (85%). Conclusiones: La calidad del diagnóstico que consta en los partes de baja es aceptable. Una buena información a los médicos de Atención Primaria y una estrecha colaboración con el médico especialista en Medicina del trabajo permitirá mejorar la calidad de los diagnósticos.
Objective: To evaluate the quality of the diagnosis in the sick leave certificate of the sickness absence processes. Material and Method: Descriptive observational study. A sample of 1200 patients of long term sick leave (>15 days), controlled by the Medical Unit of Valuation of Disabilities (MUVD), from 1-01-2007 at 30-06-2008. Data source: sickness leaves certificates, registered in the MUVD, having the advice of the occupational medicine specialist. The quality was determined using the reliability, through the kappa index; and the agreement of the diagnosis for groups of the CIE-9-MC with the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values parameters. Results: The biggest agreement was obtained for the diagnosis group of mental diseases (kappa 0,86; standard error 0,03). The highest sensitivity took place in the diagnoses V (82,9%), XII (78,6%) and XIII (78,4%); and the positive predictive values were but high in the V (94,6%), XIII (85%) and II (85%) groups. Conclusions: The quality of the diagnosis on the sick leave certificate is acceptable. Good information to the primary health care physicians and a narrow collaboration with the occupational medicine specialist will allow to improve the quality of the diagnoses.
