ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To analyze the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the use of primary health care services to follow-up the child growth and development in Brazil. METHOD A total of 7.9 million consultations of children (0-2 years old) across Brazil between March 2017 and May 2020 were studied. Differences between medians were analyzed using non-parametric tests, the Global Moran Index (IGM) and the Local Indicators of Spatial Association. RESULTS During the initial period of the pandemic, the median number of consultations was significantly lower than the same period in previous years, reducing more than 50%. The drop in 2020, compared to 2019, ranged from 49% to 62.2% across all regions of the country, except the South. The percentage reduction registered in 2019-2020 showed significant spatial autocorrelation (IGM = 0.20; p = 0.04), with the presence of low-low (states with reduction between 29% and 51%) and high-high (states with reduction between 55% and 69%) spatial clusters. CONCLUSION The covid-19 pandemic impacted the follow-up of child growth and development in primary health care services in Brazil, with a geographically uneven reduction.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de risco cardiovascular (RCV) elevado, a proporção de pessoas com RCV elevado que recebem tratamento e aconselhamento, e investigar os fatores sociodemográficos associados ao desfecho, no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com dados de subamostra da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, coletados por exames bioquímicos, em 2014-2015. Empregou-se regressão de Poisson. Resultados: A proporção de RCV elevado em homens foi de 11,2% (IC95% 9,6;12,9), e em mulheres, de 10,4% (IC95% 9,2;11,8%). No grupo com RCV elevado, 68,8% (IC95% 63,7;73,4%) receberam aconselhamento; 59,3% (IC95% 54,2;64,3%), medicamento; e 55,6% (IC95% 50,4;60,7%), ambos. Na análise multivariável, receber tratamento e aconselhamento mostrou associação com a idade de 50 anos e mais, e com autoavaliação de saúde ruim/muito ruim (RP=1,26 - IC95% 1,06;1,51). Conclusão: A proporção de pessoas com RCV elevado que receberam tratamento e aconselhamento foi superior a 50%.


Objetivo: Estimar la prevalência de riesgo cardiovascular (RCV) elevado, la proporción de personas con RCV elevado que reciben tratamiento y asesoramiento, e investigar los factores sociodemográficos asociados al resultado, en Brasil. Métodos: Estudio transversal, con datos de la submuestra de la Investigación Nacional de Salud, recolectados por exámenes bioquímicos, en 2014-2015. Se usó la regresión de Poisson. Resultados: La proporción de RCV elevado en hombres fue del 11,2% (IC95% 9,6; 12,9) y en mujeres del 10,4% (IC95% 9,2;11,8%). En el grupo con RCV elevado, 68,8% (IC95% 63,7; 73,4%) recibió asesoramiento, 59,3% (IC95% 54,2;64,3%) medicamento y 55,6% (IC95% 50,4;60,7%) ambos. En el análisis multivariable, recebir tratamiento y asesoramiento se mostró asociado a la edad de 50 años y más, y a autoevaluación de salud mala/muy mala (RP=1,26 - IC95% 1,06;1,51). Conclusión: La proporción de personas con RCV elevado que recibió tratamiento y asesoramiento fue superior a 50%.


Objective: To estimate the prevalence of high cardiovascular risk (CVR), the proportion of people with high CVR who receive treatment and counseling, and to investigate the sociodemographic factors associated with this outcome, in Brazil. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, using subsample data from the National Health Survey, collected via biochemical tests, in 2014-2015. Poisson regression was used. Results: The proportion of high CVR in men was 11.2% (95%CI 9.6;12.9), and 10.4% (95%CI 9.2;11.8%) in women. In the group with high CVR, 68.8% (95%CI 63.7;73.4%) received counseling, 59.3% (95%CI 54.2;64.3%) received medication, and 55.6% (95%CI 50.4;60.7%) received both. In the multivariate analysis, receiving treatment and counseling was associated with being aged 50 years and over, and poor/very poor self-rated health (PR=1.26 - 95%CI 1.06;1.51). Conclusion: The proportion of people with high CVR who had received treatment and counseling was over 50%.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar indicadores antropométricos e demográficos associados à pressão arterial elevada em crianças de 6 a 10 anos de idade de áreas urbana e rural de Minas Gerais. Método: estudo transversal realizado com 335 crianças. Foram coletados dados antropométricos, demográficos e de pressão arterial. As análises foram realizadas por meio dos testes Qui-quadrado, t student, Mann-Whitney e regressão logística, com cálculo do odds ratio como medida de associação. Resultados: a prevalência de pressão arterial elevada foi significativamente maior entre as crianças da área rural. Na área urbana, a chance de pressão arterial elevada foi maior nas crianças que possuíam o índice de massa corporal elevado (2,97 [1,13-7,67]) e, na área rural, naquelas que possuíam a circunferência da cintura aumentada (35,4 [3,0-406,2]) e faixa etária de 9-10 anos (4,29 [1,46-12,6]). Conclusão: o índice de massa corporal e a circunferência da cintura elevados foram importantes indicadores antropométricos para a pressão arterial elevada, assim como a idade em crianças residentes na área rural. A avaliação do índice de massa corporal e da circunferência da cintura, para além das avaliações nutricionais, representa importante ação para o rastreio de pressão arterial elevada em crianças de diferentes contextos territoriais.


Objective: to evaluate anthropometric and demographic indicators associated with high blood pressure in children aged 6 to 10 years in urban and rural areas of Minas Gerais. Method: this is a cross-sectional study with 335 children. Anthropometric, demographic and blood pressure data were collected. The statistics analyzes were performed using the chi-square, t-student, Mann-Whitney and logistic regression tests, and the odds ratio was the association measure. Results: the prevalence of high blood pressure was significantly higher among rural children. In the urban area, the chance of high blood pressure was higher in children who had a high body mass index (2.97 [1.13-7.67]) and in the rural area, in those who had increased waist circumference (35.4 [3.0-406.2]) and the age range of 9-10 years (4.29 [1.46-12.6]). Conclusion: elevated body mass index and waist circumference were important anthropometric indicators for high blood pressure, as well as age in children living in rural area. The evaluation of body mass index and waist circumference, in addition to nutritional assessments, represents an important action for the screening of high blood pressure in children from different territorial contexts.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO: Estudo observacional que analisa a qualidade das ações de diagnóstico, tratamento e controle da esquistossomose na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em área endêmica. Foram utilizados questionários estruturados em 97 profissionais de saúde da ESF e em secretários municipais de saúde de 25 municípios pertencentes à Gerência Regional de Saúde de Pedra Azul, Minas Gerais. Foram utilizados os Modelos de Variáveis Latentes para definir um escore a fim de avaliar a qualidade da proposta. Os resultados mostraram que 57,8% das equipes da ESF realizam suas ações de maneira insatisfatória ou crítica. Os profissionais não realizam ações efetivas para controle da infecção e 8,1% não utilizam o método diagnóstico preconizado pelo governo. As estratégias de vigilância e controle ainda são incipientes. Da mesma forma, os profissionais não receberam treinamento adequado para o desenvolvimento das ações de prevenção e controle da esquistossomose. Falta material educativo para o desempenho das atividades de educação em saúde, sendo que as equipes da ESF realizam atividades educativas nas escolas em 48% dos municípios. Menos da metade dos profissionais entrevistados conhecia o Programa de Controle da Esquistossomose (PCE). É necessário integrar as práticas do PCE à ESF, além de buscar um adequado suporte da gestão municipal por meio de pactuações e do controle social.


ABSTRACT: Observational study that examined the quality of the preventive actions for schistosomiasis control in the Brazilian Family Health Strategy (FHS) in an endemic area. Structured questionnaires were used to interview 97 health professionals of the FHS and the Secretary of Health of 25 municipalities belonging to the State Health Department of Pedra Azul, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Models of latent variables were used to define a score to evaluate the quality of the process. The results showed that 57.8% of the FHS teams' actions were unsatisfactory or critical. The professionals did not perform effective activities for the control of the infection and 8.1% did not use the diagnostic methods required by the government. Similarly, the professionals did not receive adequate training for the development of schistosomiasis prevention and control. There was a lack of educational materials to carry out health education activities, and the FHS teams conducted educational activities in only 48% of the schools of municipalities. Less than half of the professionals interviewed knew about the Schistosomiasis Control Program. We concluded that it is necessary to integrate this Program's practices to the FHS, and seek a suitable support of municipal management through pacts and social control.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a relação entre a infecção e a reinfecção pelo Schistosoma mansoni e os fatores demográficos, socioeconômicos, imunológicos e de contato com água, em 127 indivíduos residentes em Virgem das Graças, área rural endêmica domunicípio de Ponto dos Volantes, Minas Gerais. Foram coletados dados socioeconômicos, demográficos e de contato com água além de fezes e sangue para análises parasitológicas e sorológicas de todos os indivíduos participantes do estudo no período entre 2001 e 2009. Osoro foi utilizado para avaliação da reatividade dos anticorpos IgE e IgG4 específicos contra antígenos do ovo (SEA) e do verme adulto (SWAP). A prevalência da endemia no inicio do estudo (2001) foi 59% (IC 95%= 50,38- 67,72) e a média geométrica de ovos por grama de fezes (OPG) de 61,05 (IC95%= 58,70 – 63,40). Um ano após o tratamento de todos os indivíduos (2002), a prevalência e a carga parasitária reduziram significativamente para 16,5% (IC 95%= 9,98 – 23,08) e 40,6 opg (IC 95%= 37,80 – 43,42), respectivamente. Em 2005, a prevalência aumentou para 27,6% (IC 95%= 19,68 – 35,43), mas a carga parasitáriamanteve-se semelhante à de 2002 sendo de 39,81 opg (IC95%= 37,27 – 42,35). No último ano avaliado (2009) a prevalência permaneceu em 26,8% (IC 95%= 18,96 – 34,57), mas a carga parasitária reduziu significativamente para 8,78 opg (IC 95%= 6,45 – 11,11) quandocomparada aos anos anteriores. A análise multivariada mostrou que a idade, o contato com água e as características imunológicas foram associadas à infecção pelo S. mansoni. Um maior risco de infecção foi observado nos indivíduos mais jovens (6-14 e 15-29 anos) e naqueles que realizavam atividades de pescar e atravessar o córrego. Foi evidenciado também que o aumento na reatividade de IgG4 anti-SEA e SWAP e da razão entre IgG4/IgE contra esses antígenos relacionaram-se ao risco de infecção pelo parasito, deixando os indivíduos mais susceptíveis. A análise da...


This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between S. mansoni infection and reinfection using demographic, socioeconomic, immunological and water contact factors, in 127 individuals in Virgem das Graças, an endemic area in municipality of Ponto dos Volantes,Minas Gerais. Demographic, socioeconomic and water contact behavioral data were collected, as well as feces and blood for parasitological and serological analysis, of all individuals participating in the study between 2001 and 2009. Serum was used to evaluate specific IgE and IgG4 antibody reactivity against soluble egg (SEA) and adult worm (SWAP) antigens. The prevalence for S. mansoni infection before treatment (2001) was 59% (CI 95%= 50.38-67.72) with the geometric mean egg count (epg) of 61.05 (CI95%= 58.70 – 63.40). One yearafter treatment (2002), prevalence and intensity of infection reduced significantly to 16.5% (CI 95%= 9.98 – 23.08) and 40.6 epg (CI 95%= 37.80 – 43.42), respectively. In 2005, the prevalence increased to 27.6% (CI 95% = 19.68 to 35.43), but the intensity of infection remained similar to that of 2002 with 39.81 epg (CI 95% = 37.27 - 42.35). In the last year ofevaluation (2009), the prevalence remained at 26.8% (CI 95% = 18.96 to 34.57) but the intensity of infection reduced significantly to 8.78 epg (CI 95% = 6.45 to 11.11) when compared to previous years. Multivariate analysis showed that age, water contact and immunological characteristics were associated with S. mansoni infection. A higher risk of infection was observed in younger individuals (6-14 and 15-29 years) as well as in those who performed activities of fishing and crossing stream. It was shown that the increase in IgG4 anti-SEA and SWAP reactivity and the IgG4/IgE ratio against these antigens were related torisk of infection, with individuals being more susceptible to infection. Analysis of IgE anti-SEA and SWAP reactivity showed an increase over time for both infected and uninfected individuals...

ABSTRACT

The objective of the present paper was to compare accessibility and utilisation of schistosomiasis diagnostic and treatment services in a small village and the surrounding rural area in northern part of the state of Minas Gerais Brazil. The study included 1,228 individuals: 935 central village residents and 293 rural residents of São Pedro do Jequitinhonha. Schistosoma mansoni infection rates were significantly higher in the central village than in the rural area during a survey in 2007 (44.3 percent and 23.5 percent, respectively) and during the 2002 schistosomiasis case-finding campaign (33.1 percent and 26.5 percent, respectively) (p < 0.001). However, during the 2002-2006 period, only 23.7 percent of the villagers and 27 percent of the rural residents obtained tests on their own from health centres, hospitals and private clinics in various nearby towns. In 2007, 63 percent of the villagers and 70.5 percent of the rural residents reported never having received treatment for schistosomiasis. This paper reveals considerable variation in the accessibility and utilisation of schistosomiasis-related health services between the central village and the rural area. A combination of low utilisation rates between 2002-2006 and persistently high S. mansoni infection rates suggest that the schistosomiasis control program must be more rapidly incorporated into the primary health services.
