Puntos de encuentro. Investigaciones de posgrado en proceso (II)

Puntos de encuentro. Investigaciones de posgrado en proceso (II) es la continuación del proyecto de innovación docente “Puntos de encuentro. Investigaciones de posgrado en proceso” desarrollado durante el curso 2017-18. Dicho proyecto trataba de generar una comunidad de aprendizaje a través de encuentros periódicos, seminarios y actividades comunes entre directores de tesis, profesores y doctorandos. El desarrollo del mismo ha puesto de manifiesto la necesidad de continuar las dinámicas instauradas, así como la articulación de otros posibles modos de ensayar metodologías colaborativas, que son la base de la propuesta. Teniendo en cuenta los resultados obtenidos durante el curso 2017-18 el desarrollo de este proyecto ha estado condicionado por el interés de mantener y propiciar la comunidad de aprendizaje generada. Por otra parte, ha sido fundamental la experimentación en procesos de tutorización entre pares y colectivos, en un periodo formativo definido, en el campo de estudio propuesto por procesos de investigación de carácter individual. El desarrollo de las actividades desarrolladas ha puesto en práctica metodologías colaborativas capaces de ensayar otras aproximaciones a procesos de aprendizaje para las nuevas generaciones de estudiantes. El equipo de trabajo ha estado compuesto por los miembros que ya habían participado en el anterior proyecto (22 doctorandos y 10 docentes) y por nuevas incorporaciones que demostraron interés en formar parte del grupo (28 doctorandos y 14 docentes). En este sentido, cabe destacar que la comunidad no únicamente se ha mantenido sino que se ha visto incrementada. Al igual que el curso anterior el desarrollo de las investigaciones en curso se inscriben en distintos campos de conocimiento afines lo que ha permitido seguir articulando espacios transdisciplinares de encuentro que dieran lugar al debate y al diálogo, así como la creación de redes propiciadas por las afinidades entre distintos miembros del grupo. Esta memoria recoge la valoración de los resultados obtenidos haciendo mención a los objetivos alcanzados, a la metodología empleada, al grupo de trabajo adscrito al proyecto y a las actividades desarrolladas a lo largo del curso 2018-19. Presenta a modo de anexo una serie de imágenes de los encuentros realizados y los documentos de difusión del seminario de investigación

Association Between Use of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol and Postoperative Complications in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in the Postoperative Outcomes Within Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol in Elective Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Study (POWER2)

[Importance] The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care protocol has been shown to improve outcomes compared with traditional care in certain types of surgery.[Objective] To assess the association of use of the ERAS protocols with complications in patients undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).[Design, Setting, and Participants] This multicenter, prospective cohort study included patients recruited from 131 centers in Spain from October 22 through December 22, 2018. All consecutive adults scheduled for elective THA or TKA were eligible for inclusion. Patients were stratified between those treated in a self-designated ERAS center (ERAS group) and those treated in a non-ERAS center (non-ERAS group). Data were analyzed from June 15 through September 15, 2019.[Exposures] Total hip or knee arthroplasty and perioperative management. Sixteen individual ERAS items were assessed in all included patients, whether they were treated at a center that was part of an established ERAS protocol or not.[Main Outcomes and Measures] The primary outcome was postoperative complications within 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes included length of stay and mortality.[Results] During the 2-month recruitment period, 6146 patients were included (3580 women [58.2%]; median age, 71 [interquartile range (IQR), 63-76] years). Of these, 680 patients (11.1%) presented with postoperative complications. No differences were found in the number of patients with overall postoperative complications between ERAS and non-ERAS groups (163 [10.2%] vs 517 [11.4%]; odds ratio [OR], 0.89; 95% CI, 0.74-1.07; P = .22). Fewer patients in the ERAS group had moderate to severe complications (73 [4.6%] vs 279 [6.1%]; OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.56-0.96; P = .02). The median overall adherence rate with the ERAS protocol was 50.0% (IQR, 43.8%-62.5%), with the rate for ERAS facilities being 68.8% (IQR, 56.2%-81.2%) vs 50.0% (IQR, 37.5%-56.2%) at non-ERAS centers (P < .001). Among the patients with the highest and lowest quartiles of adherence to ERAS components, the patients with the highest adherence had fewer overall postoperative complications (144 [10.6%] vs 270 [13.0%]; OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.64-0.99; P < .001) and moderate to severe postoperative complications (59 [4.4%] vs 143 [6.9%]; OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.45-0.84; P < .001) and shorter median length of hospital stay (4 [IQR, 3-5] vs 5 [IQR, 4-6] days; OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96-0.99; P < .001).[Conclusions and Relevance] An increase in adherence to the ERAS program was associated with a decrease in postoperative complications, although only a few ERAS items were individually associated with improved outcomes.This study was supported by institutional and/or departmental sources. The Postoperative Outcomes Within Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol in Elective Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty (POWER2) study was supported by the Spanish Perioperative Audit and Research Network (REDGERM
