Summary: | The objective of this study was to determine the smoking abstinence rate after hospital discharge in cardiovascular patients who had undergone a brief smoking cessation intervention during hospitalization. The prospective cohort study involved 252 smokers who were admitted to the Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge in Catalonia, Spain. Twenty-four hours after hospital discharge, 76.6% of patients were still abstaining from smoking. At 1, 3, 9, and 12 months, the abstinence rate diminished to 71.4%, 67.2%, 64.1%, and 62.2%, respectively. Patients diagnosed with ischemic cardiopathy had a significantly lower probability of a smoking relapse: hazard ratio =0.56 (95% confidence interval, 0.36-0.87). At our center, a brief smoking cessation intervention in cardiovascular patients during hospital admission was found unlikely to result in smoking abstinence following discharge.
El objetivo del estudio es estimar la tasa de abstinencia tabáquica posterior al alta hospitalaria en enfermos cardiovasculares que recibieron una intervención mínima de cesación tabáquica durante el ingreso. Se realizó un estudio prospectivo de una cohorte de 252 fumadores ingresados en el Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge. A las 24 h del alta hospitalaria se mantenía en abstinencia tabáquica el 76,6% de los pacientes. Tras 1, 3, 9 y 12 meses, las tasas de abstinencia habían disminuido al 71,4, el 67,2, el 64,1 y el 62,2%, respectivamente. Los pacientes diagnosticados de cardiopatía isquémica tenían menor probabilidad de recaída tabáquica:
hazard ratio = 0,56 (intervalo de confianza del 95%, 0,36-0,87). En nuestro centro, una intervención mínima de cesación tabáquica durante la hospitalización en los enfermos cardiovasculares probablemente no sea suficiente para mantener la abstinencia tabáquica al alta. |
