Prevalence of adult smokers in Brazilian capitals according to socioeconomic deprivation / Prevalência de fumantes adultos nas capitais brasileiras, segundo privação socioeconômica

ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the prevalence of adult smokers in the 26 capitals and the Federal District according to the Brazilian Deprivation Index (Índice Brasileiro de Privação - IBP). Methods: Dataset on smoking were obtained from the Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Noncommunicable Diseases by Survey (Vigitel) system for the 26 capitals and the Federal District, in the period from 2010 to 2013. The IBP classifies the census sectors according to indicators such as: income less than ½ minimum wage, illiterate population and without sanitary sewage. In the North and Northeast regions, the census sectors were grouped into four categories (low, medium, high and very high deprivation) and in the South, Southeast and Midwest regions into three (low, medium and high deprivation). Prevalence estimates of adult smokers were obtained using the indirect estimation method in small areas. To calculate the prevalence ratios, Poisson models are used. Results: The positive association between prevalence and deprivation of census sector categories was found in 16 (59.3%) of the 27 cities. In nine (33.3%) cities, the sectors with the greatest deprivation had a higher prevalence of smokers when compared to those with the least deprivation, and in two (7.4%) there were no differences. In Aracaju, Belém, Fortaleza, João Pessoa, Macapá and Salvador, the prevalence of adult smokers was three times higher in the group of sectors with greater deprivation compared to those with less deprivation. Conclusion: Sectors with greater social deprivation had a higher prevalence of smoking, compared with less deprivation, pointing to social inequalities.

RESUMO Objetivo: Estimar as prevalências de adultos fumante nas 26 capitais e no Distrito Federal segundo o Índice Brasileiro de Privação. Métodos: Os dados sobre tabagismo foram obtidos junto ao sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito (Vigitel) para as 26 capitais e o Distrito Federal, no período de 2010 a 2013. O Índice Brasileiro de Privação classifica os setores censitários segundo indicadores como: renda menor que meio salário mínimo, população não alfabetizada e sem esgotamento sanitário. Nas regiões Norte e Nordeste, os setores censitários foram agrupados em quatro categorias (baixa, média, alta e muito alta privação) e, nas regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste, em três (baixa, média e alta privação). As estimativas de prevalências de adultos fumantes foram obtidas pelo método indireto de estimação em pequenas áreas. Para o cálculo das razões de prevalências, empregram-se modelos de Poisson. Resultados: A associação positiva entre a prevalência e a privação das categorias de setores censitários foi encontrada em 16 (59,3%) das 27 cidades. Em nove (33,3%) cidades, os setores de maior privação apresentaram maior prevalência de fumantes quando comparados aos de menor privação e, em duas (7,4%), não apresentaram diferenças. Em Aracaju, Belém, Fortaleza, João Pessoa, Macapá e Salvador, as prevalências de adultos fumantes foram três vezes maiores no grupo de setores com maior privação em relação aos de menor privação. Conclusão: Setores de maior privação social apresentaram maiores prevalências de tabagismo, comparados com menor privação, apontando desigualdades sociais.

Premature mortality due to noncommunicable diseases in Brazilian capitals: redistribution of garbage causes and evolution by social deprivation strata / Mortalidade prematura por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em capitais brasileiras: redistribuição de causas garbage e evolução por estratos de privação social

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze premature mortality due to noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) in Brazilian capitals and the Federal District (DF) after redistribution of garbage causes and the temporal evolution according to social deprivation strata in the 2010 to 2012 and 2017 to 2019 triennia. Methods: Corrections were applied to the Mortality Information System (Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade - SIM) data such as the redistribution of garbage codes (GC). Premature mortality rates due to NCDs were calculated and standardized by age. The differences among NCDs mortality rates were analyzed according to the Brazilian Deprivation Index (Índice Brasileiro de Privação - IBP) categories and between the three-year periods. Results: In the capitals as a whole, rates increased between 8 and 12% after GC redistribution and the greatest increases occurred in areas of high deprivation: 11.9 and 11.4%, triennia 1 and 2, respectively. There was variability between the capitals. There was a reduction in rates in all strata of deprivation between the three-year periods, with the greatest decrease in the stratum of low deprivation (-18.2%) and the lowest in the stratum of high deprivation (-7.5%). Conclusion: The redistribution of GC represented an increase in mortality rates, being higher in the strata of greater social deprivation. As a rule, a positive gradient of mortality was observed with increasing social deprivation. The analysis of the temporal evolution showed a decrease in mortality from NCDs between the triennia, especially in areas of lower social deprivation.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a mortalidade prematura por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) nas capitais brasileiras e Distrito Federal (DF) após redistribuição das causas garbage, e a evolução temporal segundo estratos de privação social nos triênios 2010 a 2012 e 2017 a 2019. Métodos: Foram aplicadas correções ao Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM), sendo empregada metodologia para redistribuição das causas garbage (CG). As taxas de mortalidade prematura por DCNT padronizadas por idade foram estimadas. Foram analisadas as diferenças entre as taxas de mortalidade por DCNT segundo categorias do Índice Brasileiro de Privação (IBP) e entre os triênios. Resultados: No conjunto das capitais, as taxas aumentaram entre 8 e 12% após a redistribuição de CG, e os maiores acréscimos ocorreram em áreas de alta privação: 11,9 e 11,4%, triênios 1 e 2, respectivamente. Houve variabilidade entre as capitais. Observou-se redução das taxas em todos os estratos de privação entre os triênios, sendo maior decréscimo no estrato de baixa privação (-18,2%), e menor no estrato de alta privação (-7,5%). Conclusão: A redistribuição de CG representou aumento das taxas de mortalidade, sendo maior nos estratos de maior privação social. Via de regra, observou-se gradiente positivo de mortalidade com o aumento da privação social. A análise da evolução temporal evidenciou decréscimo da mortalidade por DCNT entre os triênios, sobretudo em áreas de menor privação social.

Premature mortality due to non-communicable diseases in Brazilian municipalities estimated for the three-year periods of 2010 to 2012 and 2015 to 2017 / Mortalidade prematura por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis nos municípios brasileiros, nos triênios de 2010 a 2012 e 2015 a 2017

ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate premature mortality due to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Brazilian municipalities. Methods: This ecological study estimated premature mortality rates due to cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, cancer and diabetes in Brazilian municipalities, for the three-year periods of 2010 to 2012 and 2015 to 2017, and it analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution of these rates. Data treatment combined proportional redistribution of the missing data and ill-defined causes, and the application of coefficients for under-registration correction. The local empirical Bayesian estimator was used to calculate municipal mortality rates. Results: Rates for the set of chronic diseases decreased in Brazil between the three-year periods. The mean rates for total NCDs declined in the South, Southeast and Central-West regions, remained stable in the North and increased in the Northeast. Mortality rates due to cardiovascular diseases were the highest in all regions but showed the greatest declines between the periods. Cancers were the second leading cause of death. The North and Northeast regions stood out as having increased mean rates of cancer between the periods analyzed and showing the highest mean premature mortality rates due to diabetes in the 2015 to 2017 period. Conclusion: Spatial and temporal distribution of premature mortality rates due to NCDs differed between Brazilian municipalities and regions in the three-year periods evaluated. The South and Southeast had decreased rates of deaths due to cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases, as well as diabetes. The North and Northeast had increased rates of deaths due to cancer. There was an increase in the rate of deaths due to diabetes in the Central-West.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate the prevalence of fruit and vegetable consumption, practice of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and binge drinking for small areas of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Methods: Ecological study conducted with data from the Surveillance System for Risk and Protection Factors for Noncommunicable Diseases by Telephone Survey (Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico - Vigitel). The prevalence of risk and protection factors from 2006 to 2013 were estimated and the 95% confidence intervals calculated. "Small areas" corresponded to the municipality division into four strata of health risk classification given by the Health Vulnerability Index 2012 (Índice de Vulnerabilidade à Saúde - IVS). Results: The mean prevalences for the period were: about 42% of regular intake of fruit and vegetable, 34.7% of leisure time activity and 20.4% of binge drinking. The prevalence of fruit and vegetable consumption was higher in low-risk areas (58.5%; 95%CI 56.8 - 60.2) and lower in very high-risk areas (32.3%; 95%CI 27.7 - 36.9). The practice of LTPA was higher in low-risk areas (40.8%; 95%CI 38.9 - 42.8) and lower in very high risk (25.2%; 95%CI 20.6 - 29.9). Binge drinking was higher in low-risk areas (22.9%; 95%CI 21.7 - 24.2) compared to very high-risk areas (14.3%; 95%CI 11.4 - 17.3). Conclusion: It was identified a gradient in the distribution of risk and protection factors for noncommunicable diseases in Belo Horizonte according to the risk classification. This information can support programs aimed at reducing health inequalities, especially in the most vulnerable areas.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate the prevalences of hypertension and diabetes for small areas in Belo Horizonte, according to the Health Vulnerability Index (HVI). Methods: Ecological study with data from the Surveillance of Risk and Protection Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (Vigitel) conducted in Belo Horizonte, from 2006 to 2013. The self-reported diagnosis of diabetes and hypertension were evaluated. The estimates of prevalence and the 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were calculated using the direct and indirect method by HVI grouped into four categories: low, medium, high and very high health risk. Results: During the period evaluated, 26% (95%CI 25.2 - 26.8) and 6.1% (95%CI 6.7 - 6.5) of the adult population from Belo Horizonte reported being hypertensive and diabetic, respectively. According to the indirect method to obtain estimates of hypertension and diabetes prevalences per HVI, it was found that areas of very high risk had a higher prevalence of adults with hypertension (38.6%; 95%CI 34.8 - 42.4) and diabetes (16.2%; 95%CI 13.1 - 19.3) when compared to the low risk (28.2%; 95%CI 27.0 - 29.4 and 6%; 95%CI 5.4 - 6.7, respectively). Conclusion: The adult population living in areas at high risk for health had a higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes compared to those with a lower risk.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Estimar as prevalências de hipertensão e diabetes para pequenas áreas em Belo Horizonte, MG, segundo o índice de vulnerabilidade da saúde (IVS). Métodos: Estudo ecológico com dados do sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico realizado em Belo Horizonte, nos anos de 2006 a 2013. Foi avaliado o diagnóstico autorreferido de diabetes e de hipertensão. As estimativas de prevalência e o intervalo de 95% de confiança (IC95%) foram calculados, segundo IVS, usando os métodos de estimação direto e indireto para pequenas áreas.

Conclusão: A população de adultos residentes em áreas com risco elevado à saúde apresentou maiores prevalências de hipertensão e diabetes em comparação àquelas com menor risco.

Mortality due to garbage codes in Brazilian municipalities: differences in rate estimates by the direct and Bayesian methods from 2015 to 2017 / Mortalidade por causas garbage nos municípios brasileiros: diferenças nas estimativas de taxas pelos métodos direto e Bayesiano de 2015 a 2017

ABSTRACT: Objective: To generate estimates of mortality rates due to garbage codes (GC) for Brazilian municipalities by comparing the direct and the Bayesian methods, based on deaths registered in the Mortality Information System (SIM) between 2015 and 2017. Methods: Data from the SIM were used. The analysis was performed in groups of GC levels 1 and 2, levels 3 and 4, and total GC. Mortality rates were estimated directly and also according to the Bayesian method by applying the Empirical Bayesian Estimator. Results: About 38% of GC were estimated and regional differences in mortality rates were observed, higher in the Northeast and Southeast and lower in the South and Midwest regions. The Southeast presented similar rates for the two analyzed groups of GC. The smallest differences between direct and Bayesian method estimates were observed in large cities with a population over 500 thousand inhabitants. Municipalities in the north of the state of Minas Gerais and those in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Bahia presented high rates at levels 1 and 2. Conclusion: There are differences in the quality of the definition of the underlying causes of death, even with the use of Bayesian methodology, which assists in smoothing the rates. The quality of the definition of causes of death is important, as they are associated with the access to and quality of healthcare services and support health planning.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Gerar estimativas das taxas de mortalidade por causas garbage (CG) para os municípios do Brasil, fazendo a comparação entre o método direto e o Bayesiano, tendo como base os óbitos registrados no Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM) entre 2015 e 2017. Métodos: Os dados do SIM foram utilizados. A análise foi realizada com grupos de CG níveis 1 e 2, 3 e 4 e total de CG. As taxas de mortalidade foram estimadas de forma direta e bayesiana, aplicando o estimador Bayesianos Empírico Local. Resultados: Observaram-se 38% de CG e diferenças regionais nas taxas de mortalidade, maiores no Nordeste e Sudeste e menores no Sul e Centro-Oeste. O Sudeste apresentou taxas semelhantes para os dois grupos de CG analisados. As menores diferenças entre as estimativas diretas e bayesianas foram verificadas nas grandes cidades, acima de 500 mil habitantes. O norte de Minas Gerais e os estados do Rio de Janeiro, de São Paulo e da Bahia apresentaram municípios com altas taxas nos níveis 1 e 2. Conclusão: Existem diferenças na qualidade da definição das causas básicas de morte, mesmo com o uso de metodologia bayesiana, que auxilia na suavização das taxas. A qualidade da definição das causas de morte é importante, uma vez que se mostra associada ao acesso e à qualidade dos serviços de saúde e oferecem subsídios para o planejamento em saúde.

External validation of the estimate of prevalence of smokers in small areas by Vigitel, in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil / Validação externa da estimativa da prevalência de fumantes em pequenas áreas produzida pelo Vigitel, em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil

ABSTRACT: Objective: The study aimed to validate the estimates of adult smokers determined by Vigitel for small areas, defined by the Health Vulnerability Index (IVS). Methods: The database of the Health Survey of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (RMBH) carried out in 2010 and the data from Vigitel in the period from 2010 to 2013 were used to obtain estimates of adult smokers by IVS. With Vigitel, the estimate of smokers by IVS was obtained by the indirect estimation method in small areas. The prevalence of adult smokers was compared, considering RMBH as the gold standard. The t test was used to evaluate the difference between the means and the Pearson correlation, with a significance level of 5%. Results: When stratifying by IVS in the household survey, the prevalence of adult smokers ranged from 13.39% (95%CI 11.88 - 14.91) for residents in a low-risk area to 22.9% (95%CI 12.33 - 33.48) among residents in a very high-risk area. With Vigitel, according to IVS, the prevalence of adult smokers ranged from 11.98% (95%CI 10.75 - 13.21) for residents in the low-risk area to 22.31% (95%CI 18.25 - 26.1) in very high-risk areas. The prevalence was similar between the two surveys, showing good Pearson correlation (r = 0.93). Conclusion: The study points out that the estimates of smokers were similar in both surveys, showing the external validity of Vigitel. There was a gradient in prevalence, with progressive increase, identifying a higher proportion of smokers in high-risk areas.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Validar as estimativas de adultos fumantes produzidas pelo Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por inquérito telefônico (Vigitel) para pequenas áreas, definidas pelo Índice de Vulnerabilidade à Saúde (IVS). Métodos: A base de dados do Inquérito de Saúde da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (RMBH), realizado em 2010, e os dados do Vigitel Belo Horizonte, no período de 2010 a 2013, foram utilizados para obter as estimativas de adultos fumantes por IVS, mediante uso do método indireto de estimação em pequenas áreas. As prevalências de adultos fumantes foram comparadas, considerando-se o Inquérito de Saúde da RMBH como padrão-ouro. Foi utilizado o Teste de hipótese para diferença entre as médias e a correlação de Pearson, sendo considerado o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Ao estratificar por IVS no inquérito domiciliar, a prevalência de adultos fumantes variou de 13,39% (intervalo de confiança de 95% — IC95% 11,88 - 14,91), para residentes em área de baixo risco, a 22,9% (IC95% 12,33 - 33,48), entre residentes em área de muito alto risco. No Vigitel, segundo IVS, a prevalência de adultos fumantes variou de 11,98% (IC95% 10,75 - 13,21), para residentes em área de baixo risco, a 22,31% (IC95% 18,25 - 26,1), para residentes nas áreas de muito alto risco. As prevalências foram semelhantes entre os dois inquéritos, mostrando boa correlação de Pearson (r = 0,93). Conclusão: O estudo aponta que as estimativas de fumantes foram semelhantes em ambos os inquéritos, mostrando validade externa do Vigitel. Ocorreu gradiente nas prevalências, com aumento progressivo, identificando-se proporção mais elevada de fumantes em áreas de risco elevado.

Methodological proposal for the redistribution of deaths due to garbage codes in mortality estimates for Noncommunicable Chronic Diseases / Proposta metodológica para redistribuição de óbitos por causas garbage nas estimativas de mortalidade para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis

ABSTRACT: Objective: To propose a method for improving mortality estimates from noncommunicable diseases (NCD), including the redistribution of garbage codes in Brazilian municipalities. Methods: Brazilian Mortality Information System (MIS) was used as a data source to estimate age standardized mortality rates, before and after correction, for NCD (cardiovascular, chronic respiratory, diabetes, and neoplasms). The treatment for the correction of data addressed missing data, under-registration, and redistribution of garbage codes (GCs). Three-year periods 2010-2012 and 2015-2017, and the Bayesian method were used to estimate mortality rates, reducing the effect of fluctuation caused by small numbers at the municipal level. Results: GCs redistribution step showed greater weight in corrections, about 40% in 2000 and roughly 20% as from 2007, with stabilization starting in this year. Throughout the historical series, the quality of information on causes of death has improved in Brazil, with heterogeneous results being observed among municipalities. Conclusion: Methodological studies that propose correction and improvement of the MIS are essential for monitoring mortality rates due to NCD at regional levels. The methodological proposal applied, for the first time in real data from Brazilian municipalities, is challenging and deserves further improvements. Improving the quality of the data is essential in order to build more accurate estimates based on the raw data from the SIM.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Propor método para melhoria das estimativas de mortalidade por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, incluindo a redistribuição de causas garbage nos municípios brasileiros. Métodos: O Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade foi utilizado como fonte de dados para estimar as taxas padronizadas por idade, antes e depois da correção de dados, para as doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (cardiovasculares, respiratórias crônicas, diabetes e neoplasias). O tratamento para correção dos dados abordou dados faltantes, sub-registro e redistribuição de causas garbage. Foram utilizados os triênios 2010-2012 e 2015-2017 e o método bayesiano para estimar as taxas de mortalidade, diminuindo-se o efeito da flutuação provocada pelos pequenos números no nível municipal. Resultados: A etapa de redistribuição causas garbage mostrou maior peso nas correções: cerca de 40% em 2000 e aproximadamente 20% a partir de 2007, com estabilização neste ano. Ao longo da série histórica, a qualidade da informação sobre causas de morte melhorou no Brasil, sendo vistos resultados heterogêneos nos municípios. Observaram-se clusters com as maiores proporções de correção nas regiões Nordeste e Norte. O diabetes foi a causa com maior proporção de acréscimo (mais de 40%, em 2000). Conclusão: Estudos metodológicos que propõem correção e melhoria do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade são essenciais para o monitoramento das taxas de mortalidade por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em níveis regionais. A proposta metodológica aplicada, pela primeira vez em dados reais de municípios brasileiros, é desafiadora e merece aprimoramentos. Apesar da melhora nos dados, o método utilizado neste estudo para tratamento dos dados brutos mostrou grande impacto nas estimativas finais.

Analysis of clinical distribution and drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa in the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa changes in the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo, Zhejiang province, in order to provide a basis for clinical rational use of antimicrobial drugs. Methods The clinical distribution and drug resistance to commonly used antimicrobial agents in 1970 strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa from the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo in 2014 －2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The data were statistically analyzed using WHONET 5. 6 software, excel software, SPSS17. 0 software. Results Clinical specimens isolated 15 963 strains of pathogenic bacteria,including 1 970 strains pseudomonas aeruginosa,accounted for 12. 34% . The detection rate of multi－drug resistance pseudomonas aeruginosa( MDRPA) reduced year by year, the detection rate in 2014 was 60. 95% ,which in 2015 was 58. 00% ,which in 2016 was 45. 58% . Pseudomonas aeruginosa was mainly isolated from sputum(67. 16% ),followed by wound secretion(23. 05% ). The detection rate of pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU and geriatric department was higher,accounted for 20. 25% and 25. 28% respectively. The resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa to many kinds of antimicrobial agents was increased from 2014 to 2016,the resistance rates to cefoperazone/ sulbactam were＞30% in 3 years,the resistance rate to imipenem was higher than meropenem. The drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from sputum in ICU was higher than that in geriatric department(all P＜0. 05). Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa nosocomial infection in the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo is severe,the infection rate and drug resistance monitoring should be strengthened,in order to reduce the infection rate and drug resistance.

Geographical Variations and Trends in Major Cancer Incidences throughout Korea during 1999-2013 / Journal of the Korean Cancer Association, 대한암학회지

PURPOSE: We aimed to describe the temporal trends and district-level geographical variations in cancer incidences throughout Korea during 1999-2013. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were obtained from the Korean National Cancer Incidence Database. We calculated the age-standardized cumulative cancer incidences according to sex and geographical region (metropolitan cities, provinces, and districts) for three 5-year periods (1999-2003, 2004-2008, and 2009-2013). Each quintile interval contained the same number of regions. Disease maps were created to visualize regional differences in the cancer incidences. RESULTS: Substantial differences in cancer incidences were observed according to district and cancer type. The largest variations between geographical regions were found for thyroid cancer among both men and women. There was little variation in the incidences of stomach, colorectal, and lung cancer according to geographical region. Substantially elevated incidences of specific cancers were observed in Jeollanam-do (thyroid); Daejeon (colorectum); Jeollanam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Chungcheongbuk-do (lung); Seocho-gu, Gangnam-gu and Seongnam, Bundang-gu (breast and prostate); Chungcheong and Gyeongsang provinces (stomach); Ulleung-gun and the southern districts of Gyeongsangnam-do and Jeollanam-do (liver); and along the Nakdonggang River (gallbladder and biliary tract). CONCLUSION: Mapping regional cancer incidences in Korea allowed us to compare the results according to geographical region. Our results may facilitate the development of infrastructure for systematic cancer incidence monitoring, which could promote the planning and implementation of region-specific cancer management programs.

Evaluation of Geographic Indices Describing Health Care Utilization / 예방의학회지

OBJECTIVES: The accurate measurement of geographic patterns of health care utilization is a prerequisite for the study of geographic variations in health care utilization. While several measures have been developed to measure how accurately geographic units reflect the health care utilization patterns of residents, they have been only applied to hospitalization and need further evaluation. This study aimed to evaluate geographic indices describing health care utilization. METHODS: We measured the utilization rate and four health care utilization indices (localization index, outflow index, inflow index, and net patient flow) for eight major procedures (coronary artery bypass graft surgery, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, surgery after hip fracture, knee replacement surgery, caesarean sections, hysterectomy, computed tomography scans, and magnetic resonance imaging scans) according to three levels of geographic units in Korea. Data were obtained from the National Health Insurance database in Korea. We evaluated the associations among the health care utilization indices and the utilization rates. RESULTS: In higher-level geographic units, the localization index tended to be high, while the inflow index and outflow index were lower. The indices showed different patterns depending on the procedure. A strong negative correlation between the localization index and the outflow index was observed for all procedures. Net patient flow showed a moderate positive correlation with the localization index and the inflow index. CONCLUSIONS: Health care utilization indices can be used as a proxy to describe the utilization pattern of a procedure in a geographic unit.

The Effect of Geographic Units of Analysis on Measuring Geographic Variation in Medical Services Utilization / 예방의학회지

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the effect of geographic units of analysis on measuring geographic variation in medical services utilization. For this purpose, we compared geographic variations in the rates of eight major procedures in administrative units (districts) and new areal units organized based on the actual health care use of the population in Korea. METHODS: To compare geographic variation in geographic units of analysis, we calculated the age-sex standardized rates of eight major procedures (coronary artery bypass graft surgery, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, surgery after hip fracture, knee-replacement surgery, caesarean section, hysterectomy, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging scan) from the National Health Insurance database in Korea for the 2013 period. Using the coefficient of variation, the extremal quotient, and the systematic component of variation, we measured geographic variation for these eight procedures in districts and new areal units. RESULTS: Compared with districts, new areal units showed a reduction in geographic variation. Extremal quotients and inter-decile ratios for the eight procedures were lower in new areal units. While the coefficient of variation was lower for most procedures in new areal units, the pattern of change of the systematic component of variation between districts and new areal units differed among procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Geographic variation in medical service utilization could vary according to the geographic unit of analysis. To determine how geographic characteristics such as population size and number of geographic units affect geographic variation, further studies are needed.

Mortalidade infantil nos municípios brasileiros: uma proposta de método de estimação / Infant mortality rate in Brazilian municipalities: a proposal of an estimation method

Propor um método para estimação do Coeficiente de Mortalidade Infantil (CMI) por município, levando em consideração a subenumeração de óbitos e a estimação do CMI em áreas de pequeno porte populacional. Métodos: o método foi desenvolvido a partir da estimação de fatores de correção de óbitos e nascidos vivos por município, no triênio 2009-2011, através de indicadores construídos para caracterizar a cobertura das informações vitais. Foi proposto um procedimento para verificar se o número corrigido de óbitos infantis atingiu o valor mínimo esperado de acordo com o porte populacional do município. No caso de insuficiência do fator de correção, foram usados os valores preditos de uma regressão multivariada para estimar o CMI. Resultados: os modelos de estimação dos fatores de correção das estatísticas vitais mostraram correlações inversas e significativas com os indicadores que caracterizam a cobertura dos dados vitais. Os valores preditos dos fatores de correção foram aplicados para todos os municípios localizados nos estados que não têm informações vitais completas. Em apenas 230 municípios, a correção foi considerada insuficiente. Conclusões: os achados evidenciam que existem, ainda, grandes problemas a superar, como as persistentes desigualdades relacionadas ao desenvolvimento socioeconómico, o acesso à assistência de saúde e à omissão da informação de óbito, que compromete o dimensionamento da situação local...

To propose a method to estimate the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) by municipality, taking into consideration the underreporting of deaths and the IMR estimation in small population areas Methods: the method was developed on the basis of estimating the correction factors of death and live births by municipality, in the triennium 2009-2011, through indicators that characterize the completeness of vital information. A procedure to test if the corrected number of infant death achieved the expected minimum value was proposed accordingly to the municipality population size. In the case the correction is insufficient the predicted values of a multivariate regression were used to estimate the IMR. Results: the estimation models of the vital information correction factors showed inverse and significant correlations with the completeness indicators. The predicted correction factors were applied to all municipalities located in the states with incomplete vital information. In only 230 municipalities, the correction factors were considered not sufficient. Conclusion: the findings evidence that there are still great problems to surpass, such as the persistent inequalities related to socioeconomic development, access to health care, and omission of death reporting, which compromises the comprehension of a local situation...

Epidemiological characteristics of and temporal-spatial clustering of gonorrhea in Zhejiang province during 2004-2012 / 中华皮肤科杂志

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of gonorrhea,and to analyze its temporal-spatial clustering in Zhejiang province.Methods Data on the incidence and demographic characteristics of gonorrhea in Zhejiang province from January 2004 to December 2012 were obtained from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention.The population,time and space distributions of gonorrhea were described.Epidemic curve and incidence maps were drawn.A space-time permutation scan statistic was used to detect space-time clusters,and spatial autocorrelation analysis was performed to calculate the Moran's I value and draw Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) cluster maps.Results In Zhejiang province,a total of 199 956 cases of gonorrhea were reported with a decreasing trend in incidence rate from 2004 to 2012.The male to female ratio was 3.51:1 (155 634/44 331).People aged between 25 and 60 years accounted for 75.21％ of these patients,whereas the constituent ratio of people aged 0-1 years and ＞ 60 years increased with time.The incidence rate of gonorrhea was significantly higher in middle and north parts than in the south part of Zhejiang province,and higher in summer than in winter and spring with the peak incidence observed in August.Thirteen temporal-spatial clusters were detected,with the large clusters in Hangzhou,Huzhou,Ningbo,Shaoxing and their neighbor counties/cities/ districts,as well as some counties/cities/districts in Jinhua.All of the above clusters lasted 4.5 years.LISA maps showed an increasing trend in high-high aggregation counties/cities/districts which spread from the north to south part of Zhejiang province.Conclusion There is a temporal-spatial aggregation of gonorrhea in Zhejiang province with young and middle-aged men as the main affected population.

Spatial distribution of dengue incidence and socio-environmental conditions in Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil, 2007 / Distribuição espacial da incidência de dengue e condições socioambientais em Campinas, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, 2007 / Distribución espacial de la incidencia de dengue y condiciones socioambientales en Campinas, estado de São Paulo, Brasil, 2007

This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of dengue risk and its association with socio-environmental conditions. This was an ecological study of the counts of autochthonous dengue cases in the municipality of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil, in the year 2007, aggregated according to 47 coverage areas of municipal health centers. Spatial models for mapping diseases were constructed with Bayesian hierarchical models, based on Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA). The analyses were stratified according to two age groups, 0 to 14 years and above 14 years. The results indicate that the spatial distribution of dengue risk is not associated with socio-environmental conditions in the 0 to 14 year age group. In the age group older than 14 years, the relative risk of dengue increases significantly as the level of socio-environmental deprivation increases. Mapping of socio-environmental deprivation and dengue cases proved to be a useful tool for data analysis in dengue surveillance systems.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a distribuição espacial do risco de dengue e a sua relação com condições socioambientais. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico da contagem dos casos de dengue autóctone, no Município de Campinas, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, no ano de 2007, agregados em 47 áreas de cobertura dos Centros de Saúde do município. Modelos espaciais de mapeamento de doenças foram construídos utilizando-se modelos hierárquicos bayesianos, por meio do método de Integração Aproximada Aninhada de Laplace (INLA). As análises foram estratificadas segundo os grupos etários até 14 anos e acima de 14 anos. Os resultados indicam que a distribuição espacial do risco de dengue não está associada a condições socioambientais para o grupo etário até 14 anos. No grupo etário acima de 14 anos, o risco relativo de dengue aumenta significativamente conforme aumenta o nível de carência socioambiental. O mapeamento dos estratos de carência socioambiental e dos casos de dengue mostrou-se uma ferramenta útil na análise dos dados dos sistemas de vigilância de dengue.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la distribución espacial del riesgo de dengue y su relación con condiciones socioambientales. Se trata de un estudio ecológico del cómputo de los casos de dengue autóctono, en el Municipio de Campinas, estado de São Paulo, Brasil, año 2007, englobados en 47 áreas de cobertura de los centros de salud del municipio. Los modelos espaciales de mapeamiento de enfermedades se construyeron utilizándose modelos jerárquicos bayesianos, a través del método de Integración Aproximada Anidada de Laplace (INLA). Los análisis fueron estratificados según los grupos de edad de hasta 14 años y por encima de 14 años. Los resultados indican que la distribución espacial del riesgo de dengue no está asociada a condiciones socioambientales para el grupo de edad de hasta 14 años. En el grupo de edad por encima de 14 años, el riesgo relativo de dengue aumenta significativamente, conforme aumenta el nivel de escasez socioambiental. El mapeamiento de los estratos de escasez socioambiental y de los casos de dengue se mostró una herramienta útil en el análisis de los datos de los sistemas de vigilancia del dengue.

OBJETIVO: Descrever o uso dos sistemas de informação em saúde em cidades com menos de 10 mil habitantes. MÉTODOS: Estudo realizado no estado do Rio de Grande do Sul, entre 2003 e 2004. Foi enviado um questionário auto-aplicável a gestores dos municípios, contendo 11 questões de escolha simples, três de escolha múltipla e três abertas, sobre a estrutura disponível, utilização das informações, indicadores valorizados e satisfação com os sistemas. O questionário foi respondido por gestores de 127 (37,7 por cento) dos municípios gaúchos com menos de 10 mil habitantes. As respostas foram tabuladas em planilha eletrônica e a diferença entre municípios respondentes e não-respondentes foi avaliada pelo teste qui-quadrado, considerando-se significativo p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Todos os municípios dispunham de computadores (média de três por município) e 94 por cento tinham acesso à Internet. Os responsáveis pela alimentação e análise dos sistemas de informação eram funcionários estatutários (59 por cento) que acumulavam outras tarefas. Os sistemas mais utilizados relacionavam-se a controle orçamentário e repasse de verbas. Em 59,1 por cento dos municípios havia análise dos dados e geração de informações utilizadas no planejamento local. Os indicadores citados como importantes para o planejamento local foram os mesmos utilizados na pactuação com o Estado, mas houve dificuldade de compreensão dos termos "indicadores" e "dados estatísticos". Apenas 4,7 por cento estavam plenamente satisfeitos com as informações obtidas dos sistemas de informação em saúde. CONCLUSÕES: Duas realidades coexistem: municípios que percebem a alimentação dos sistemas de informação em saúde como tarefa a ser cumprida por ordem dos níveis centrais, em contraposição a municípios que visualizam o potencial desses sistemas, mas têm dificuldades em sua utilização.
