Afin d'évaluer la fréquence des admissions non pertinentes et d'identifier les facteurs qui leur sont associés, une étude descriptive a été conduite sur un échantillon aléatoire de 411 hospitalisations dans 3 hôpitaux régionaux. L'évaluation de l'adéquation des admissions a été faite en utilisant le protocole d'évaluation Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP). Vingt et un pour cent (21 %) [IC 95 % : 17-25] des admissions ont été jugées évitables selon l'AEP. Les hospitalisations non pertinentes étaient associées au lieu d'hospitalisation (p = 0,005), à l'âge du patient (p = 0,003), à la durée du séjour et au diagnostic (p < 0,01).Les principales raisons justifiant les admissions étaient la thérapie parentérale, la présence de troubles sensorimoteurs circulatoires ou respiratoires aigus ou progressifs entraînant une incapacité pour le patient et la présence de troubles électrolytiques sévères. Cette étude souligne le besoin d'une meilleure organisation des hôpitaux. Dans ce cadre, il est nécessaire de développer des alternatives à l'hospitalisation. Analysis of the appropriateness of hospitalizations in Monastir, TunisiaABSTRACT We aimed to measure the extent of inappropriate hospital admissions and to identify factors associated with inappropriate hospital use. A descriptive study was carried out on a randomized sample of 411 hospitalizations in 3 regional hospitals. The appropriateness of admissions was assessed using the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP). We found 21% (95% CI: 17%-25%) of the admissions were avoidable according to the AEP. Inappropriate admissions were associated with the hospital (P = 0.005), patient age (P = 0.003), length of stay and diagnosis (P < 0. 001). The most frequent reasons for appropriate admissions were parenteral therapy, an acute or progressive sensory motor circulatory or respiratory condition sufficient to incapacitate the patient and severe electrolyte or blood gas abnormality. Our study highlights the need to improve hospital management and to develop alternatives to hospitalization.
