ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background: We investigated the time to death and factors associated with deaths from dengue and chikungunya during the first epidemic after the introduction of the chikungunya virus in Northeastern Brazil. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in Pernambuco between 2015 and 2018. Logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors. The probability of survival among individuals with different arbovirus infections was estimated and the survival curves were compared using log-rank tests. Results: The lethality coefficients for dengue and chikungunya viruses were 0.08% and 0.35%, respectively. The chance of death due to chikungunya infection increased progressively from the age of 40 years. At 40-49 years, the odds ratio was 13.83 (95%CI, 1.80-106.41). At 50-59 years and 60 years or older, the odds ratio was 27.63 (95%CI, 3.70-206.48); and 78.72 (95%CI, 10.93-566.90), respectively. The probability of death associated with dengue virus infection increased from the age of 50 years. Among patients aged 50-59 years and 60 years or older, the odds ratio was 4.30 (95%CI, 1.80-10.30) and 8.97 (95%CI, 4.00-20.0), respectively. Independent factors associated death were headache and age of 50 years or older for dengue; and headache, nausea, back pain, intense arthralgia, age 0-9 years or 40 years and older, and male sex for chikungunya. The ratio between mortality rates revealed that the time to death from dengue was 2.1 times faster than that from chikungunya (95%CI, 1.57-2.72). Conclusions: The time to death was shorter in patients with dengue than in those with chikungunya disease. This study reinforces the need for faster and more effective decision-making in public health services to enhance patient outcomes and minimize mortality.
ABSTRACT
RESUMO: Introdução: Os acidentes de trânsito urbano são um problema de saúde pública mundial. Objetivou-se descrever o perfil das vítimas atendidas pelo Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU) no Recife e das ocorrências por acidentes de trânsito urbano, bem como sua distribuição a partir de análise espacial. Metodologia: Estudo ecológico, desenvolvido a partir de dados secundários do SAMU no Recife, referentes às ocorrências dos acidentes de trânsito urbano de 01 de janeiro a 30 de junho de 2015. A análise espacial se deu por meio do índice de Moran. Resultados: As unidades de suporte básico realizaram a maioria dos atendimentos (89,2%). Entre as vítimas, houve predomínio do sexo masculino (76,8%) e da faixa etária de 20 - 29 anos (31,5%). A colisão foi responsável por 59,9% dos acidentes de trânsito, e as motos representaram 61,6% das ocorrências entre os meios de locomoção. A sexta-feira apresentou maior risco e houve concentração de acidentes das 06h00min. às 08h59min. e das 18h00min. às 20h59min. O MoranMap identificou áreas críticas para a ocorrência de atendimentos durante o período analisado. Discussão: As fichas de atendimento do SAMU, a partir da análise espacial, configuraram-se como importante fonte de informação para a vigilância em saúde. Conclusão: A análise espacial dos acidentes de trânsito urbano identificou regiões com correlação espacial positiva, proporcionando subsídios ao planejamento logístico do serviço de atendimento móvel de urgência. Este estudo é pioneiro ao contribuir com tais informações na região.
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Urban transit accident are a global public health problem. The objective of this study was to describe the profile of the victims and the occurrences of urban transit accidents attended to by emergency mobile care services (Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência- SAMU) in Recife, and their distribution based on spatial analysis. Methodology: An ecological study, developed through secondary data from emergency mobile care services in Recife, referring to the total number of occurrences of urban transit accidents attended to from January 1 to June 30, 2015. The spatial analysis was performed using the Moran index. Results: Basic support units performed most of the emergency services (89.2%). Among the victims, there was a predominance of males (76.8%) and an age group of 20 - 29 years old (31.5%). Collisions were responsible for 59.9% of the transit accidents, and motorcycles for 61.6% of the accidents among all means of transportation. Friday was the day that showed the highest risk for treatment, and there was a concentration of events between 6:00 am - 8:59am and 6:00pm - 8:59pm. The MoranMap identified critical areas where calls came from traffic accidents during the period analyzed. Discussion: The records of the mobile service from the spatial analysis are an important source of information for health surveillance. Conclusion: The spatial analysis of urban transit accidents identified regions with a positive spatial correlation, providing subsidies to the logistical planning of emergency mobile care services. This study is groundbreaking in that it offers such information about the region.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of intimate partner violence against women reported in the last 12 months and seven years with the incidence of common mental disorders. METHODS A prospective cohort study with 390 women from 18 to 49 years, registered in the Family Health Program of the city of Recife, State of Pernambuco; from July 2013 to December 2014. The Self Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20) assessed mental health. Intimate partner violence consists of concrete acts of psychological, physical or sexual violence that the partner inflicts on the woman. Poisson regression was used to estimate crude and adjusted relative risks (RR) of the association between common mental disorders and intimate partner violence. RESULTS The incidence of common mental disorders was 44.6% among women who reported intimate partner violence in the last 12 months and 43.4% among those who reported in the past seven years. Mental disorders remained associated with psychological violence (RR = 3.0; 95%CI 1.9–4.7 and RR = 1.8; 95%CI 1.0–3.7 in the last 12 months, and seven years, respectively), even in the absence of physical or sexual violence. When psychological violence were related to physical or sexual violence, the risk of common mental disorders was even higher, both in the last 12 months (RR = 3.1; 95%CI 2.1–4.7) and in the last seven years (RR = 2.5; 95%CI 1.7–3.8). CONCLUSIONS Intimate partner violence is associated with the incidence of common mental disorders in women. The treatment of the consequences of IPV and support for women in seeking protection for themselves for public services is essential.
RESUMO OBJETIVO Investigar a associação da violência por parceiros íntimos relatada contra as mulheres nos últimos 12 meses e últimos sete anos com a incidência dos transtornos mentais comuns. MÉTODOS Estudo de coorte prospectivo com 390 mulheres de 18 a 49 anos, cadastradas no Programa Saúde da Família da cidade do Recife, PE, entre julho de 2013 e dezembro de 2014. A saúde mental foi avaliada pelo Self Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20). A violência por parceiro íntimo foi definida por atos concretos de violência psicológica, física ou sexual infligidos à mulher pelo parceiro. A regressão de Poisson foi utilizada para estimar os riscos relativos (RR) brutos e ajustados da associação entre transtorno mental comum e violência por parceiro íntimo. RESULTADOS A incidência dos transtornos mentais comuns foi de 44,6% entre as mulheres que relataram violência nos últimos 12 meses e de 43,4% nas que relataram violência nos últimos sete anos. Os transtornos mentais mantiveram-se associados à violência psicológica (RR = 3,0; IC95% 1,9–4,7 e RR = 1,8; IC95% 1,0–3,7 nos últimos 12 meses, e sete anos, respectivamente), mesmo na ausência de violência física ou sexual. Quando a violência psicológica esteve combinada com violência física ou sexual, o risco dos transtornos mentais comuns foi ainda mais elevado, tanto nos últimos 12 meses (RR = 3,1; IC95% 2,1–4,7) quanto nos últimos sete anos (RR = 2,5; IC95% 1,7–3,8). CONCLUSÕES A violência por parceiro íntimo está associada à incidência de transtornos mentais comuns nas mulheres. É fundamental o tratamento das consequências da VPI e o apoio às mulheres na busca de proteção para si pelos serviços públicos.
