The management of spinal cord compression in patients with advanced malignancy.

Ingham J, Beveridge A, Cooney NJ.

We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of 17 hospice patients who developed spinal cord or cauda equina compression due to metastatic epidural tumor to ascertain the nature and outcome of the disorder in this setting. Epidural compression occurred following admission to the hospice in five cases and prior to admission in 12 cases. Six patients were ambulatory following treatment, and this favorable outcome occurred only in those who were ambulatory at diagnosis. In the group of patients who were paraplegic after treatment, problems related to pain, decubitus ulcers, and constipation were most challenging. This experience highlights the need for a more vigilant approach to back pain in patients at risk of epidural compression in the hospice setting. Further studies are necessary to establish the appropriate management of these patients.

OBJECTIVE: Chronic constipation is a common disorder among residents in long-term care; yet the cost to the nursing home of constipation-related care is not known. The objective of this study was to quantify the nursing staff and supply-related cost of constipation care to nursing homes from the perspective of the nursing home. DESIGN: Prospective, observational time-and-motion design. SETTING: Two United States nursing homes. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 59 nursing home residents with chronic constipation and nursing staff providing constipation care to them. MEASUREMENTS: Actual time to complete constipation care-related tasks was measured via stopwatch by trained observers, and the number and professional level (eg, staff nurse, CNA) of staff performing each task was recorded. Frequency of constipation care task data was obtained through 60-day retrospective medical chart review for each subject. Nurse wage rate data was obtained from the Nursing Home Salary and Benefits Report, a US-based national source. Resident and nursing home descriptive information was also collected. RESULTS: The average cost per task occurrence ranged from 0.72 US dollars for enema administration to 1.74 US dollars for oral medication administration. Average nursing staff costs per subject per year were 1577 US dollars for oral medication administration, 215 US dollars for dietary supplement administration, 39 US dollars for constipation assessment, 17 US dollars for suppository administration, and 6 US dollars for enema administration. Based on estimates of frequency of occurrence, the total annual labor and supply cost per long-term care resident with constipation was 2253 US dollars. CONCLUSION: Nursing staff performance of constipation care-related tasks is time c

OBJECTIVES: This study investigates the cost of chronic constipation care. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: A consecutive sample of 31 chronically constipated elderly patients. SETTING: A not-for-profit long-term care facility in New Hyde Park, New York. MEASUREMENTS: Patient demographics and functional status, including activity of daily living scores, diagnosis, and medications were recorded. All constipation medication costs were obtained using the average wholesale price obtained from the Redbook (November 1999). All subjects were closely monitored for constipation care during two shifts a day (from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM), over a 6-week period resulting in the collection of 1,860 shift reports. Each component of constipation treatment cost, namely drugs and staff time for drug administration, was identified and analyzed. RESULTS: The average number of nursing interactions for constipation treatment was 23.3 per month. The average cost per day for care specifically for the treatment of constipation was 2.11 US dollars. Fleet Enema trade mark and milk of magnesia accounted for 49% of all treatments. Administration (staffing) costs accounted for 70% of total drug costs. CONCLUSIONS: Although laxatives are the most frequently prescribed drugs used in long-term care settings, drug utilization patterns and associated costs in the treatment of chronic constipation have not been systematically reported. Our study identified staffing as the major cost factor in constipation care.
