ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo é analisar a tendência temporal da incidência de leptospirose, de acordo com índices pluviométricos na Região da Grande Florianópolis, conforme sazonalidade - 2005 a 2015. Trata-se de estudo ecológico de séries temporais, com dados de leptospirose, índices pluviométricos e população. Foram analisadas taxas de incidência de leptospirose, excesso relativo da incidência, coeficiente de correlação de Pearson (r), coeficiente angular (ß), a partir do ajuste da regressão linear, com nível de significância de 95%. Apresenta distribuição dos casos de leptospirose, índices pluviométricos e razão casos/índices pluviométricos, estratificados por mês de ocorrência. Foram registrados 1.001 casos de leptospirose, média mensal de 83 casos, com variação de 43, nos meses de agosto, a 146, nos meses de fevereiro. A taxa média de leptospirose foi 8,24/100 mil habitantes. O índice pluviométrico médio foi 154,83 mm, os índices mais baixos ocorreram nos meses de junho, média de 99,48 mm, e, os mais elevados nos meses de janeiro, média de 226,16 mm. Uma correlação positiva entre taxas de leptospirose e níveis pluviométricos, ao longo do período, janeiro a dezembro (r=0,64; p=0,003), aponta para associação temporal positiva entre quantidade de chuva e casos da doença. A doença ocorreu o ano todo e apresentou nítida sazonalidade no período de outubro a março.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar a prevalência e os fatores associados à dislipidemia em pacientes que utilizam a Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional transversal que incluiu 100 pacientes que realizam acompanhamento em ambulatórios de Infectologia de Santa Catarina. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de revisão de prontuários e analisados no programa Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), versão 13.0. Utilizou-se o teste qui quadrado de Pearson ou teste exato de Fisher para as variáveis qualitativas. A associação entre as variáveis quantitativas foi avaliada por meio do teste t de Student. O nível de significância estabelecido foi p<0,05. RESULTADOS: Homens corresponderam a 51% e a média de idade foi de 42,90±11,39 anos. A prevalência de dislipidemia foi de 75% nos pacientes que utilizavam HAART e de 85% nos pacientes antes de iniciá-la. O colesterol total médio dos pacientes antes de iniciar HAART encontrou-se em 171,33±37,12, a HDL média em 41,01±14,57 e o LDL médio em 98,05±32,35. Já o colesterol total médio dos pacientes que utilizam HAART ficou em 199,97±42,47 (p<0,01), o HDL médio em 46,93±16,34 (p<0,01) e o LDL médio em 118,88±36,57 (p<0,01). Houve menor média de linfócitos TCD4+ pré-HAART entre pacientes com HDL reduzido (p=0,04) ou qualquer dislipidemia (p=0,01). CONCLUSÃO: Há alta prevalência de dislipidemia em pacientes infectados pelo HIV que utilizam ou não HAART.


OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with dyslipidemia in patients using the Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). METHODS: Cross-sectional observational study that included 100 patients who are being followed in infectious diseases clinics of the state of Santa Catarina. Data was obtained through the review of medical records and analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test were used for qualitative variables. Student's t test was used for the association of quantitative variables.The significance level was p<0.05. RESULTS: Men were 51% and the average age was 42.90±11.39 years. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 75% in patients using Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy and 85% before the beginning of therapy. The average total cholesterol of patients before starting Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy was 171.33±37.12, average highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) was 41.01±14.57 and the average low-density lipoprotein was 98.05±32.35. The average total cholesterol of patients using Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy remained at 199.97±42.47 (p<0.01), the average high-density lipoprotein at 46.93±16.34 (p<0.01) and the average low-density lipoprotein at 118.88±36.57 (p<0.01). There was a lower averagem of TCD4+ lymphocytes counts pre-Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy among patients with low high-density lipoprotein (p=0.04) or any dyslipidemia (p=0.01). CONCLUSION: There is high prevalence of dyslipidemia in HIV-infected patients using or not the Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy.

ABSTRACT

Introduction Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been used to treat large numbers of patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Lipid disorders are often observed in these patients, and include elevations in total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG). Methods A cross-sectional study was performed using 333 patient records from the Regional Hospital of São José Doutor Homero de Miranda Gomes (HRSJHMG). The study population consisted of patients with HIV who were under medical follow up, either on or off drug treatment. The data were entered into Excel and exported to SPSS 16.0 for analysis using chi-square testing. We used prevalence ratios as the measure of association. Results Lipid abnormalities were observed in 78.9% of individuals who received ART. Of the 308 subjects on ART, 59.1%, 41.9%, and 33.1% had TG, TC and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) abnormalities, respectively. The prevalence of LDL changes was 2.57-fold higher in individuals who had been using ART for more than 12 months, compared to those using ART for 6 to 12 months. Conclusions HIV patients showed a significant increase in the association between TC and TG levels and the use of ART. In particular, changes in TC, LDL and TG were greater in individuals who had received ART for over more than 12 months. .
