“…(15) Sin embargo, encontramos similitudes con un estudio realizado en 2003 en un hospital universitario en España, donde se encontró una prevalencia de tabaquismo de 27% y de ex tabaquistas de 33%, con una población tabaquista más joven y una mayor prevalencia de ex tabaquistas a medida que aumenta el rango etario. (16) No encontramos estudios internacionales que evaluaran la duración de la hospitalización ni la mortalidad intra hospitalaria vinculada al tabaquismo.…”

Introduction: Smoking is the main cause of disease and death worldwide, being a frequent comorbidity in hospitalized patients, with longer stays and worse results. At Hospital de Clínicas, there are no studies evaluating the prevalence of smoking in hospitalized users since 2005. Objective: to assess the prevalence of smokers and their characteristics in patients admitted to the moderate care room of a University Hospital. Methods: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional study. Results: 100 patients were included, 38% were smokers, 27% ex-smokers and 35% had no history of smoking. The mean age was 48.65 years among the smokers; 63.11 in former smokers; 58.68 in non-smokers. 44.73% of the smokers reported abstinence and intended to maintain abstinence. The mean hospitalization of the group of smokers was 31.07 days, while among non-smokers it was 20.11 (p = 0.1337). 14% of the study population died during hospitalization. Of this group, 14.28% were not smokers, 28.57% were ex-smokers and 57.14% were smokers (p = 0.0569). The mean age of death in smokers was 49.37 years, in ex-smokers it was 70.75 years and 76 years in non-smokers. Conclusions and Implications: high prevalence of smoking in hospitalized patients, with longer

The objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of smokers admitted to different medical and surgical services in a university hospital and the perception of patients regarding the need for a specialized intervention. The sample comprises a total of 307 patients (mean age of 59.4 years), being 40% (n = 123) nonsmokers, 42.7% (n = 131) ex-smokers, and 17.3% (n = 53) smokers.The average consumption of smokers was 22.2 cigarettes / day and the severity of nicotine dependence evaluated with the Fagerström test exceeded 5 points in more than half of the sample. On the other hand, 77.7% had made at least one previous attempt to quit tobacco use. Almost the entire sample (89.9 %) of smokers and ex-smokers considered it necessary to develop tobacco treatment programs during hospitalization. Finally, the importance of the hospital context is argued as an opportunity to address the cessation of smoking. The data obtained in this study will allow focusing more appropriately on the management of these patients and optimizing resources.
