ÁMSTERDAM, July 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Norgine da la bienvenida a la nueva codificación para encefalopatía hepática[i] ICD-11 de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) 

Norgine anunció hoy que da la bienvenida a la inclusión de la encefalopatía hepática en la nueva publicación de la OMS acerca de International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).

     (Logo: http://mma.prnewswire.com/media/597589/Norgine_Logo.jpg )

Finalidades y usos de ICD:   

ICD es la base para la identificación de tendencias de salud y estadísticas a nivel mundial, además del estándar internacional para información de enfermedades y condiciones de salud. Se trata del estándar de clasificación de diagnosis para todos los fines clínicos y de investigación. ICD define el universo de las enfermedades, desórdenes, heridas y otras condiciones de salud relacionadas, que están incluidas en una lista de moda jerárquica y completa que permite:

  • almacenamiento sencillo, retirada y análisis de información de salud para toma de decisiones basadas en la evidencia;
  • compartir y comparar la información de salud entre los hospitales, regiones, escenarios y países; y
  • comparación de datos en la misma localización a través de diferentes periodos de tiempo.

Entre los usos se incluyen el control de las incidencias y prevalencia de las enfermedades, observando los reembolsos y tendencias de colocación de recursos, además de manteniendo la pista en la seguridad y calidad de las directrices. Incluye además la contabilidad de los fallecimientos, heridas, síntomas, razones de encuentro, factores que incluyen en el estado de salud y causas externas de la enfermedad.

El nuevo código ICD para encefalopatía hepática es DB99.5.  

El doctor Alastair Benbow, responsable de desarrollo y médico de Norgine, explicó: "Incluyendo la encefalopatía hepática, una complicación ordinaria de la cirrosis de hígado, en ICD-11 hay un hito destacado que debería ayudar a mejorar la diagnosis y tratamiento de esta enfermedad debilitadora, reduciendo finalmente la carga social y económica para la salud".

Y añadió: "Europa cuenta con la carga más grande de enfermedad hepática en el mundo, y en algunos países como Reino Unido y Finlandia, el aumento de fallecimientos hepáticos en los últimos 40 años se han indicado como "impactantes".[ii] A pesar de que apreciamos que la implementación de ICD-11 llevará algo de tiempo, creemos que nos ayudará a reconocer que la encefalopatía hepática es una enfermedad que supone una amenaza para la vida, y los pacientes pueden gestionarla de forma acorde".

Norgine cuenta actualmente con derechos de comercialización para rifaximin-α (XIFAXAN® 550mg, conocido además como TARGAXAN® 550mg en Reino Unido y Bélgica) en Australia, Bélgica, Dinamarca, Finlandia, Alemania, Luxemburgo, Países Bajos, Nueva Zelanda, Noruega, República de Irlanda, Suecia y Reino Unido.

XIFAXAN® 550mg está indicado para reducir el riesgo de recurrencia de encefalopatía hepática (HE) evidente en pacientes de más de 18 años.
