Objectives: to analyze the trend, according to sex, of Ambulatory Care-Sensitive Conditions in the Primary Health Care of the Federal District, from 2009 to 2019.
Methods: ecological trend study using ACSC hospitalization data available in the Hospitalization System of the Single Health System. The Prais-Winsten method was used to calculate the annual rate variation, expressed in percentages. The dependent variable was the logarithm of the rates, and the independent one, the years in the time series.
Results: the Federal District registered 2,103,951 general hospitalizations, 16.4% of which were due to Ambulatory Care-Sensitive Conditions. Males had a higher rate of hospitalization in the period, and both sexes showed a stationary trend.
Conclusions: the time trend of Ambulatory Care- Sensitive Conditions was stationary, but further studies are necessary regarding primary health care coverage.

Preventable hospitalizations through ED: does the number of hospital beds matter under the global budget in a single-payer system in Taiwan?
Front Public Health
January 2025
Division of Medical Statistics and Bioinformatics, Department of Medical Research, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.
Background: Taiwan implemented global hospital budgeting with a floating-point value, which created a prisoner's dilemma. As a result, hospitals increased service volume, which caused the floating-point value to drop to less than one New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). The recent increase in the number of hospital beds and the call to enhance the floating-point value to one NTD raise concerns about the potential for increased financial burden without adding value to patient care if hospitals expand their bed capacity for volume-based competition.

Background: Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) are those for which hospital admission could be prevented by interventions in primary care. Children living in socioeconomic disadvantage have higher rates of emergency admissions for ACSCs than their more affluent counterparts. Emergency admissions for ACSCs have been increasing, but few studies have assessed how changing socioeconomic conditions (SECs) have impacted this.

BMJ Open
January 2025
Graduate School of Health Management, Keio University, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Objective: This study assessed whether patients with potentially preventable emergency admissions had limited access to outpatient care immediately before admission and whether they received appropriate outpatient care during their outpatient visits.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Setting: Linked outpatient and inpatient care records obtained from a nationwide claims database in Japan.
Outpatient follow-up and future care-seeking for pediatric ambulatory care-sensitive conditions.
Acad Pediatr
December 2024
Division of Emergency Medicine, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Objectives: Outpatient follow-up visits are often recommended for children with ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSCs) who are discharged from emergency departments or urgent care centers (acute care settings). We sought to assess whether attending a follow-up visit within 7 days is associated with seeking initial office-based care rather than acute care during a subsequent ACSC illness. Understanding this association is crucial to guide recommendations for routine short-term follow-up visits in children who seek acute care for these common conditions.

Centre for Nutrition, Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Bergen, P.O. Box 7804, NO-5020 Bergen, Norway.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate associations between risk of malnutrition and risk of rehospitalisation and death in older hospital patients, and whether the possible associations were modified by age, gender, comorbidity or Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSCs).
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Setting: Somatic hospital in Western Norway.
