ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dentists' income and to identify associated factors in one of the poorest Brazilian states. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study including dentists who volunteered to answer an electronic questionnaire in Maranhão. Hierarchical multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed, estimating crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) (alpha=5%). Results: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the professionals´ income negatively [55.44% (50.26-60.52%)] and also positively [6.9% (4.55-9.94%)]. The negative impact on income was greater among male dentists (OR=2.54; 95%CI: 1.16-5.53), over 30 years of age (OR=3.03; 95%CI: 1.34-6.87), with family income below two minimum wages (OR=4.63; 95%CI: 1.50-14.30), who worked in the continent instead of in the capital island (OR=2.21; 95%CI: 1.14-4.29) and in the private sector (OR=31.43; 95%CI: 11.59-85.22). Moreover, those who had been tested for COVID-19, with a negative result, had a 21.3-fold greater chance of having an increased household income when compared to those who had not been tested. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the dentists' income in Maranhão, especially the older, males, with lower incomes, and who worked in the private sector, living far from the capital. The SUS played an important role in the social protection of dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic, mitigating the economic impacts on the public sector working class.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To present the results of preliminary research on the characterization of dental surgeons in the state of Pernambuco, during a pandemic of COVID-19. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study, whose population was composed of dental surgeons with active enrollment in the Regional Dentistry Council of Pernambuco. Data collection was performed using an electronic form and included characterization of professionals (gender, age, time since graduation, marital status, family income and field of work) and health status (vaccination schedule, presence of comorbidities, biosafety knowledge and testing for COVID-19). Preliminary data correspond to the first week of collection, which were analyzed from the frequency, proportions, and measures of central tendency distributions. Results: Of the 363 dental surgeons, for the field of work, 38.6% work in both the public and private sectors. Comorbidities related to the worsening of COVID-19 were identified in 35.0% of participants, 24.5% are not up to date with influenza and hepatitis vaccines, and 79.3% have not been tested for COVID-19. Regarding the biosafety instructions for COVID-19, 30.7% received no training. Conclusion: It is necessary to immunize dental surgeons to prevent immunological diseases and expansion of the testing capacity for COVID-19, especially for professionals belonging to the risk group. In addition to guaranteeing the offer of qualification courses on biosafety, which is essential for the safe resumption of activities.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo foi validar uma definição de identificação de casos de near miss neonatal precoce utilizando dados dos sistemas de informação em saúde (SIS). Estudo de validação concorrente entre três definições para identificação de casos de near miss neonatal precoce, realizado em hospital universitário com nascidos vivos ocorridos em 2012. Foram aplicadas três definições a esta coorte de nascidos vivos com utilização dos critérios peso ao nascer, idade gestacional, Índice de Apgar no 5º minuto de vida, internação em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva neonatal, ventilação mecânica e más-formações congênitas com diferentes combinações, considerando as proposições de dois artigos brasileiros publicados (definição Silva et al.; definição Pillegi-Castro et al.) e uma terceira (definição SIS) com dados disponíveis em Sistemas de Informação em Saúde. Foram considerados casos os sobreviventes às condições de risco até o 7º dia de vida. Para a validação concorrente, adotaram-se como referência os óbitos neonatais precoces. Dos 2.097 nascidos vivos estudados, 33 foram a óbito no período neonatal precoce, e o número de casos de near miss neonatal precoce variou segundo a definição adotada: 153 (definição Silva), 194 (definição Pileggi-Castro) e 304 (definição SIS). A sensibilidade e especificidade foi, respectivamente, 97% e 92,6% na definição Silva, 90,9% e 90,6% na definição Pileggi-Castro e 93,9% e 85,3% na definição SIS. Os resultados mostram que a definição SIS apresenta sensibilidade e especificidade próxima às outras definições e sugere que é possível monitorar o near miss neonatal precoce com uso apenas de dados disponíveis nos sistemas oficiais de informações em saúde.


The aim of this study was to validate a definition to identify cases of early neonatal near miss using data from health information systems (SIS in Portuguese). This was a concurrent validation study focusing on three definitions for identification of cases of early neonatal near miss among live births in a university hospital in 2012. Three different definitions were applied to this live birth cohort using the criteria birth weight, gestational age, 5-minute Apgar score, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, mechanical ventilation, and congenital malformations, in different combinations, considering the proposals in two Brazilian articles (Silva et al.; Pillegi-Castro et al.) and a third (SIS definition) with available data from health information systems. Cases were defined as infants that had survived the risk conditions as of the 7th day of life. For concurrent validation, the study adopted early neonatal deaths as the reference. Of the 2,097 live births studied, 33 died in the early neonatal period, and the number of cases of early neonatal near miss varied according to the definition used: 153 (Silva definition), 194 (Pileggi-Castro definition), and 304 (SIS definition). Sensitivity and specificity were 97% and 92.6%, respectively, according to the Silva definition, 90.9% and 90.6% according to the Pileggi-Castro definition, and 93.9% and 85.3% according to the SIS definition. The results show that the SIS definition has sensitivity and specificity close to the other definitions and suggest that it is possible to monitor early neonatal near miss using only data that are available in official health information systems.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to analyze factors associated with the use of dental services in areas covered by the Family Health Strategy in the city of Olinda, northeastern Brazil. METHODS: A quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted involving individuals over 18 years of age (n=492) registered at Family Health Units. Data analysis was performed with SPSS program (version 11.0) and involved 2 test and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The number of individuals who sought dentists at public services (58.6%) was greater than that who sought dentists in the private sector (37.4%). Among those who used public services in the previous 12 months, only 18.9% had access to a dentist from a Family Health Unit. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the use of services was associated with toothaches in the previous six months and living in a rented home (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The results show that access to dental services was highly limited, even in areas covered by an Oral Health Team. Moreover, access was potentiated by indicators of oral health needs and socioeconomic status. .


OBJETIVO: O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar os fatores associados à utilização dos serviços odontológicos em áreas adstritas da Estratégia Saúde da Família, no município de Olinda, Pernambuco. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, analítico, do tipo transversal, com amostra composta por indivíduos acima de 18 anos (n=492) cadastrados na Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF). A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio do SPSS versão 11.0, envolvendo a utilização do teste do χ2 e a análise de regressão logística. RESULTADOS: O número de indivíduos que procuraram dentistas do serviço público (58,6%) foi maior do que os que procuraram dentistas do setor privado (37,4%). Daqueles que utilizaram o serviço público nos últimos 12 meses, apenas 18,9% tiveram acesso ao dentista da USF. A análise de regressão logística múltipla demonstrou que a utilização dos serviços permaneceu associada a dor de dente nos últimos 6 meses e possuir casa emprestada (p<0,05). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados demonstraram que o acesso aos serviços de saúde bucal foi expressivamente limitado, mesmo em áreas cobertas pela Equipe de Saúde Bucal. Esse acesso foi potencializado pela presença de indicadores de necessidades de saúde bucal e condição socioeconômica. .

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Comparar a utilização e acesso dos serviços odontológicos do SUS entre população urbana e rural. Método: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo com um desenho do tipo transversal, de base populacional, desenvolvido com uma amostra aleatória e representativa da população registrada nas unidades de saúde da família de dois municípios pernambucanos de pequeno porte populacional. A amostra de participantes foi calculada com referência às pessoas de "idades/faixas etárias índices": cinco anos, 12 anos, 15 a 19 anos e 33 a 44 anos. O total da amostra, já retiradas as "perdas", foi de 949 indivíduos no município "A" e 1.049 indivíduos no município da "B". Utilizou-se o método descritivo e analítico com o teste de qui-quadrado de Pearson. Resultados: No município "A", 80% dos respondentes afirmam já ter ido ao Dentista pelo menos uma vez na vida, contra 67,6% do município "B", sendo no primeiro município 80,1% da população urbana e 79,9% da rural e no segundo com 64,4% (urbana) e 70,8% (rural). No entanto ao particularizar as idades de 15 a 19 anos esta diferença não foi significativa para os dois municípios analisados. No município "A", 70,5% consideraram o serviço público odontológico bom ou ótimo enquanto que esta avaliação se repetiu no município "B" em 64,5% dos entrevistados. Conclusão: O município "A" apresentou maior acesso e melhor utilização do serviço de saúde bucal do SUS na média da população total quando comparado com o município "A". Porém, adolescentes bem como moradores das áreas rurais continuam em situações desfavoráveis. Tais constatações podem ser melhor caracterizadas por outros estudos que aprofundem determinantes relacionados à organização do serviço.


Objective: To compare the access to and use of dental services at public health units (SUS) between the rural and urban populations. Method: This was a quantitative, cross-sectional, population-based study, with a random and representative sample of the population registered in family health units in two small-sized cities of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. The sample of participants was calculated referring to the people "age / age group indexes": 5 years, 12 years, 15 to 19 years and 33 to 44 years. The total sample, discounting the "losses", included 1049 individuals in the city "A" and 949 in city "B". Descriptive and analytical method with the chi-square test was used. Results: In the city "A", 80% of respondents said they had gone to the dentist at least once in their lifetime, compared with 67.6% from the city "B", being 80.1% of the urban population and 79.9% of the rural population in the city "A" and 64.4% of the urban population and 70.8% of the rural in the city "B" However, in the 15-19-year-old age group in both cities, this difference was not significant. In the city "A", 70.5% of the respondents considered the public dental services good or excellent, while in "B", 64.5% had the same opinion. Conclusion: The average population in the city "A" presented wider access and better use of the SUS oral health services, compared with the city "B". However, adolescents and residents of rural areas remain in an unfavorable situation. These findings can be best characterized by further studies to investigate the determinants related to dental service organization.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Avaliar o cumprimento da atenção secundária em saúde bucal em Pernambuco, nos CEO (Centro de Especialidades Odontológicas implantado até 31 de dezembro de 2007). Há diversas finalidades em avaliar um serviço de saúde, seja para um efetivo direcionamento de recursos, aprimoramento do sistema ou verificar a qualidade do serviço. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, quantitativo, com caráter avaliativo, utilizando características estruturais (antecipação financeira, tempo de implantação, tipo de CEO e cobertura pela ESF) e contextuais (porte populacional e IDH) dos CEO implantados em Pernambuco. Foram analisados, ainda, dados secundários da produção ambulatorial, critérios e normas instituídas para implantação dos CEO. A variável dependente utilizada foi o indicador denominado Cumprimento da Atenção Secundária em Saúde Bucal, as variáveis independentes se referiram às características dos serviços e dos municípios. Resultados: A relação entre o Cumprimento da Atenção Secundária em Saúde Bucal e as variáveis estruturais apontou que dentre os CEO Tipo I, a maioria (63,6%) não cumpriu o indicador avaliado. Serviços com tempo superior a um ano de credenciamento cumpriram o indicador (81%). Verificou-se que 90% dos CEO que não solicitaram antecipação financeira cumpriram o indicador. Dentre as características contextuais, a maioria dos municípios de grande porte (78,6%) cumpriu a atenção secundária em saúde bucal e para os municípios com cobertura acima de 50% de ESB no PSF a maioria (62.5%) não cumpriu o indicador avaliado. Conclusão: O cumprimento da atenção secundária em saúde bucal está associado a fatores estruturais e contextuais dos serviços avaliados.


Objective: To evaluate the secondary attention of the dental health services in Pernambuco, Brazil at the CEOs (public specialized dental clinics) established until December 31, 2007. There are different goals for the evaluation of a health service: orientations for an effective use of resources, improvement of the system, or service quality inspection. Methods: This study was a descriptive and quantitative research with evaluative nature, which used structural (financial anticipation, period for implantation, kind of CEO and Family Health Strategy coverage) and contextual (population behavior and HDR - Human Development Report) characteristics of the CEOs established in state of Pernambuco. Additionally were also analyzed secondary data of outpatient production, the rules and criteria set up for CEO implantation. The dependent variable was the indicator named fulfillment of the secondary attention in oral health care, and the independent variable referred to the characteristics of the service and districts. Results: The relationship between the secondary attention in oral health care and the structural variables pointed that most type 1 CEOs (63.6%) have not fulfilled the evaluated indicator. Clinics with more than 1 (one) year accreditation fulfilled the indicator (81%). It was noticed that 90% of the CEOs that had not requested the financial anticipation fulfilled the indicator. Regarding contextual characteristics, most of the large districts (78.6%) have fulfilled the secondary attention in oral health care and most (62.5%) the districts with coverage above 50% of health care team in the Family Health Strategy, did not fulfill the indicator. Conclusion: The fulfillment of the secondary attention in oral health care is associated to the structural and contextual factors of the evaluated services.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to compare the flexural strength and elasticity modulus of two types of staple reinforcement fibers, Interlig - Ângelus®/glass (Londrina, PR, Brazil) and Connect - KerrLab®/polyethylene (MFG Co., West Collins Orange, CA, USA), which are widely used in Dentistry for chairside use, after varying the number of layers employed and submitting or not to thermocycling. This study was performed on 72 specimens, divided into 8 groups: G1 - single layer of Interlig fibers without thermocycling; G2 - double layer of Interlig fibers without thermocycling; G3 - single layer of Interlig fibers with thermocycling; and G4 - double layer of Interlig fibers with thermocycling; G5 - single layer of Connect fibers without termocycling; G6 - double layer of Connect fibers without termocycling; G7 - single layer of Connect fibers with termocycling; G8 - double layer of Connect fibers with termocycling. For each group, values for flexural strength and elasticity modulus were obtained. The polyethylene fiber employed in a double layer presented the highest flexural strength (p < 0.05), independently of thermocycling (p < 0.001), when compared to the other evaluated combinations. The polyethylene fiber, used in a single layer without thermocycling, demonstrated a significantly higher elasticity modulus, when compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). Within the limits of this study, it was concluded that the polyethylene fiber in a double layer appears to be more resistant, regardless of whether it was submitted to thermocycling or not.
