Résumé
Potentially avoidable hospitalizations (PAH) are commonly used as an indicator for healthcare quality and primary care performance. However, data are usually presented in a restricted timeframe and for a specific region, limiting the identification of trends and national patterns. We aimed in this study to calculate rates, identify clinical determinants, and estimate costs of PAH for two frequent lung diseases (asthma and COPD) in Switzerland between 1998 and 2018 using hospital discharge data available for patients aged ≥20 years. PAH were defined according to the Health Care Quality Indicators Project (HCQIP) from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The distribution of PAH in seven administrative regions (Leman, Mittelland, Northwest, Zurich, Eastern, Central, and Ticino) was calculated, along with PAH-associated total hospital days and Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) estimated costs. Totals of 25,260 PAH for asthma and 135,069 PAH for COPD were identified in the 20-year period. The standardized rates of PAH per 100,000 people for asthma fluctuated from 18.7 in 1998 to 22.5 on 2018. The standardized rates of PAH per 100,000 people from COPD almost doubled from 77.4 in 1998 to 142.7 in 2018. In 2018, the estimated total costs of PAH amounted to 7.7 million CHF for asthma and 91.2 million CHF for COPD. We conclude that PAH for asthma and COPD represent a significant and unnecessary burden and costs of hospitalizations in Switzerland.
