简要总结
Creating a 12 month profile of Vascular Surgery Admissions aims to inform service delivery and optimise patient care resources. There is a gap in the literature pertaining to this topic, particularly from an Irish perspective. This research could inform a clinical pathway to reduce LOS for patients cared for by the Department of Vascular Surgery.
详细描述
This is an observational cross sectional study. This study will be mixed methods. Following the profile creation the researcher aims to complete qualitative research in the form of interviewing a cohort of vascular patients about their experiences in order to inform practice development. Ethics approval will be granted prior to any activities taking place.

Patients attending UHL deemed to have vascular care needs and assigned to the care of a Vascular Consultant will be included in this study. The data will be collected 12 months from the date of commencing the study. Vascular consults will be excluded for the purpose for this research unless care is transferred. Informed consent is not required for this research so there in no exclusion criteria in relation to ability to provide same.

结局指标
主要结局
Clinical Frailty Scale
时间窗: 1 year
Clinical frailty score will be determined for vascular patient admissions. This is a 9 point scale. the higher the score means the greater the risk.
Charlson Co-Morbidity Scale
时间窗: 1 year
Scoring will be determined for vascular patient admissions. The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) assesses comorbidity level by taking into account both the number and severity of 19 pre-defined comorbid conditions. It provides a weighted score of a client's comorbidities which can be used to predict short term and long-term outcomes such as function, hospital length of stay and mortality rates.
