ABSTRACT

Introducción. Pese a las estrategias de vigilancia se cree que existe subregistro de dengue, lo que puede ser secundario a la no detección de casos ya sea por no consulta del paciente, por falla en el diagnóstico o diligenciamiento de fichas de notificación. Objetivo. Estimar el subregistro de los casos de dengue en el municipio de Tocaima durante el periodo de enero a septiembre de 2019 y establecer los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas respecto al dengue de los habitantes del municipio. Metodología. Se realizó un estudio transversal de prevalencia durante el período de enero a septiembre de 2019 en la población urbana de Tocaima, mediante encuestas a dos viviendas de las 262 manzanas seleccionadas por muestreo aleatorio simple en la búsqueda activa comunitaria y en el 100% de los registros individuales de prestación de servicios y del sistema de vigilancia nacional en salud pública SIVIGILA mediante Búsqueda Activa Institucional BAI. Resultados. Se encuestaron 440 personas de las cuales 19 manifestaron haber presentado síntomas y signos de dengue en el periodo de estudio, de estos, seis personas no asistieron a consulta médica. El Subregistro Comunitario por falta de asistencia a consulta médica fue de 31,5%. Se identificaron en SIVIGILA 125 casos de dengue notificados en el periodo y 156 en el Registro Individual de Prestación de Servicios (RIPS), aplicando el método de Chandra-Sekar Deming se estimaron un total de 257 casos, para un Subregistro Institucional de SIVIGILA de 48,5%. Conclusiones. Son diversas las razones por las cuales no se notificaron todos los casos de la enfermedad al sistema de vigilancia, la primera es que solo se notifican los casos de las personas que consultan a los servicios de salud y que además viven en Tocaima, la segunda es que algunos casos detectados no se notificaron al sistema de vigilancia por errores de procedimiento, o por desconocimiento del diagnóstico por el personal de salud.


Introduction. Despite the surveillance strategies, it is believed that there is an underreporting of dengue, which may be secondary to the non-detection of cases, either due to non-consultation of the patient, due to failure in the diagnosis or filling in of notification sheets. Objective. Estimate the under-registration of dengue cases in the municipality of Tocaima during the period from January to September 2019 and to establish the knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding dengue of the inhabitants of the municipality. Methodology and materials. A cross-sectional study of prevalence was carried out during the period from January to September 2019, in the urban population of Tocaima, through surveys of 2 dwellings of the 262 blocks selected by simple random sampling in the active community search, and in 100% of individual records of service provision and Sivigila through institutional active search. Results. 440 people were surveyed, 19 of whom reported having symptoms and signs of dengue in the study period, of these, six people did not attend a medical consultation. The Community Under-registration for lack of attendance at medical consultation was 31.5%. 125 cases of dengue reported in the period were identified in SIVIGILA and 156 in the Individual Service Provision Registry (RIPS), applying the Chandra-Sekar Deming method, a total of 257 cases were estimated, for a SIVIGILA Institutional Sub-registry of 48,5%. Conclusions. There are several reasons why not all cases of the disease were notified to the surveillance system, the first is that only the cases of people who consult the health services and who also live in Tocaima, the second, some cases detected were not notified to the surveillance system due to procedural errors, or due to lack of knowledge of the diagnosis by health personne.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: Brazil presented a high proportion of ill-defined causes of death (IDCD) in 2000, compromising accurate cause-of-death analysis. Objective: To analyze specific underlying causes for deaths originally assigned as IDCD in the Mortality Information System (SIM - Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade), after investigation activities implemented in country between 2006 and 2017. Method: For all IDCD identified in the SIM, municipal health professionals collected information about the final disease obtained from hospital records, autopsies, forms of family health teams, and home investigation. Specific causes among reclassified IDCD after investigation were evaluated according to age groups and four calendar periods. Results: Proportions of IDCD reassigned to other causes after review increased over time, reaching 30.1% in 2017. From a total of 257,367 IDCD reclassified in 2006-2017, neonatal-related conditions, injury, ischemic heart disease and stroke were the leading causes detected in the age groups 0-9 years, 10-29 years, 30-69 years, 70 years and over, respectively. Discussion: The similarity and plausibility of cause-specific proportions derived from the reclassification of IDCD by age group over time indicate the accuracy of the investigation data. Conclusion: High proportions of IDCD reassigned to more informative causes after review indicate the success of this approach to correct misclassification in the SIM, an initiative that should be maintained. Training physicians on death certification along with better quality of medical care and access to health services would lead to further improvement.


RESUMO Introdução: As proporções de causas de morte mal definidas (CMD) foram elevadas no Brasil em 2000. Objetivo: Analisar causas específicas para óbitos originalmente como CMD no Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM), após investigação implementada no país entre 2006 e 2017. Metodologia: Para as CMD identificadas no SIM, profissionais das secretarias de saúde coletaram informações sobre a doença final obtida nos registros hospitalares, autópsias, formulários de equipes de saúde da família e investigação domiciliar. Causas específicas entre as CMD reclassificadas após investigação foram avaliadas segundo idade em quatro períodos. Resultados: Proporções de CMD reclassificadas para outras causas após revisão aumentaram ao longo do tempo, atingindo 30,1% em 2017. De um total de 257.367 CMD reclassificadas entre 2006 e 2017, causas perinatais, causas externas, cardiopatia isquêmica e doença cerebrovascular foram os principais grupamentos de causas nos grupos etários de 0-9 anos, 10-29 anos, 30-69 anos, 70 anos ou mais, respectivamente. Discussão: A similaridade e a plausibilidade das proporções de causas específicas detectadas entre as CMD nos grupos etários ao longo do tempo indicam acurácia dos dados da investigação. Conclusão: Causas mais informativas detectadas após a revisão das CMD indicam o sucesso dessa abordagem para corrigir erros de classificação no SIM, que deve ser mantida. Maior capacitação dos médicos no preenchimento do atestado de óbito e melhor acesso e qualificação dos serviços de saúde são importantes para melhoria futura.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: to assess the precision on birth information at the Civil Registry and Sistema de Informações Sobre Nascidos Vivos (Sinasc) (Live Births Information System) in Minas Gerais with the purpose to analyze the most recent fecundity level and pattern on women and to assess the hypotheses on the fertility component for populational projections adopted by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) in the 2013 review. Methods: the estimation level of under registration at the Civil Registry and Sinasc was based on the comparison of number of births registered by these sources with the number of births obtained from an independent source, estimated by the Brass P/F technique with adaptation. Results: in 2010, the coverage on the Civil Registry and Sinasc was 96.0% and 95.0%, respectively. In the period of 2003 to 2015, both sources point to the same trend. From 2011, the total number of births was practically the same. The corrected Total Fertility Rate and The Specific Fertility Rates had a very similar level and pattern in the period of 2010 to 2015. Discrepancies in the fertility hypotheses were observed from the IBGE. Conclusions: from 2010, the births registered in both data sources were considered as good statistical quality in Minas Gerais and the hypotheses of the fertility level and pattern in the IBGE projections need to be revised.


Resumo Objetivos: avaliar a precisão das informações de nascimentos no Registro Civil e no Sistema de Informações Sobre Nascidos Vivos (Sinasc) em Minas Gerais, com o propósito de analisar o nível e padrão da fecundidade mais recente das mulheres em Minas Gerais e avaliar as hipóteses da componente fecundidade para as projeções populacionais adotadas pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) na revisão de 2013. Métodos: a estimação do grau de sub-registro do Registro Civil e do Sinasc deu-se a partir da comparação do número de nascimentos registrado por estas fontes com o número de nascimentos obtido de fonte independente, estimado pela técnica P/F de Brass, com adaptação. Resultados: no ano de 2010 a cobertura do Registro Civil e do Sinasc era de 96,0% e 95,0%, respectivamente. As duas fontes apontam para uma mesma tendência no período de 2003 a 2015. A partir de 2011 o total de nascimentos é praticamente igual. As Taxas de Fecundidade Total e as Taxas Específicas de Fecundidade corrigidas apresentam nível e padrão bastante semelhantes no período de 2010 a 2015. Foram observadas discrepâncias nas hipóteses de fecundidade do IBGE. Conclusões: os nascimentos registrados em ambas as fontes de dados foram considerados de boa qualidade a partir de 2010 para Minas Gerais e as hipóteses de nível e padrão de fecundidade das projeções do IBGE precisam ser revisadas.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the under-registration rate related to mortality surveillance program in Jinan city,from 2013 to 2014,using the capture-mark-recapture method.Methods Under the stratified cluster random sampling method,samples were stratified,according to urban and rural areas.Two districts and three counties were chosen,with three towns/streets in each county/district and eight villages/communities in each township/street,randomly selected.With the participation of departments as civil affairs,public security,maternal/child institutions and community committees as well as individuals as village doctors and community leaders,a list of deaths from January 1,2013 to December 31,2014 was collected and compared to the National Mortality Surveillance System on the rates related to under-registration.Results A total of 2 903 records on deaths were collected from 2013 to 2014,while 3 113 deaths were reported in the surveillance system of the same period.3 772 (95% CI:3 741-3 802) deaths were estimated by the capture-mark-recapture method.The two-year total under-registration rate was 17.46%.The under-registration rates in 2013 and 2014 appeared as 19.29% and 15.57% (x2 =8.92,P<0.01),respectively,with the rates in urban and rural areas as 20.91% and 11.93% (x2 =47.35,P<0.01).The rates on male and female were 17.87% and 16.98% (x2 =0.48,P>0.05).The rates of <5 years old group and ≥5 years old group were 21.57% and 17.45% (x2 =0.03,P>0.05) respectively.Conclusions Under-registration in the mortality surveillance was noticed in Jinan.The capture-mark-recapture method seemed useful for evaluating the under-registration rate in the mortality surveillance program.It is suggested that the survey on under-registration rate should be carried out on the regular base.The under-registration rate seemed useful in adjusting the mortality rate.

ABSTRACT

Objetivou-se descrever o perfil sociodemográfico, obstétrico e assistencial de todas as internações de abortamento em maio-agosto/2012, em emergência, em estudo transversal. Resultado: 20,5% eram adolescentes, 79,5% tinham mais de 20 anos de idade e 48,7% tinham a pele parda; 84,7% foram abortos não especificados e o tempo foi apropriado entre a classificação de risco e a internação em 36,6% dos casos. Há mudanças no perfil das complicações, com redução das infecções e aumento na porcentagem de adolescentes (20,5%). Na atenção diferenciada do Programa Rede Cegonha, a avaliação de risco acolheu 90% das mulheres em 30 minutos. O sub-registro do processo de abortamento persiste pela condição de ilegalidade e por dilemas ético-morais dos profissionais.


It was aimed to describe the socio-demographic, obstetric and care profile of all in-door abortion hospitalizations from May-August/2012, in emergency, in cross-sectional study. Result: 20.5% were adolescents, 79.5% were over 20 years old and 48.7% were brown colored; 84.7% were unspecified abortions and the time between risk assessment and admission was appropriate in 36.6% of the cases. There are changes in the profile of complications, with reduction of infections and percentage increase of adolescent abortions (20,5%). In the differentiated approach of The Rede Cegonha National Program the risk assessment hosted 90% of women in 30 minutes. The under-registration of the abortion process remains due to lawlessness condition and to ethical and moral dilemmas of the professionals.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo descreve as taxas de internação por tentativas de suicídio entre idosos brasileiros e discute as fragilidades dos dados dos sistemas de informação. Empregaram-se dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) e do Sistema de Vigilância de Violências e Acidentes (VIVA). Analisou-se: (1) a evolução temporal das taxas segundo faixa etária (1-9; 10-19; 20-39; 40-59 e 60 ou mais anos), entre 2000 e 2014, por região; (2) as taxas trienais de internação segundo o sexo e faixas etárias 60-69, 70-79 e 80 ou mais anos, por região e unidade da federação; (3) as taxas de internação para idosos dos dois sistemas de informação. Quanto à evolução temporal, observou-se taxas mais elevadas na região Norte, e mais baixas no Nordeste. A análise segundo faixa etária e sexo mostrou taxas mais elevadas para os homens idosos das três faixas etárias investigadas. A comparação das taxas obtidas a partir dos dois sistemas mostrou um aumento gradativo daquelas oriundas do VIVA. A partir de 2012, observou-se que as taxas obtidas a partir do VIVA foram mais elevadas para as regiões Sudeste, Sul e Centro-Oeste. Destaca-se a necessidade de aprimoramento da informação sobre morbidade hospitalar e dos dados provenientes da notificação compulsória da violência.


The study describes hospital admission rates for suicide attempts among the Brazilian elderly and discusses the weaknesses of data from information systems. Data were extracted from the Hospital Information System (HIS) and from the Violence and Injury Surveillance System (VIVA). The analyzes included: (1) temporal evolution of rates by age group (1-9; 10-19; 20-39; 40-59 and 60 or over) from 2000 to 2014 by region; (2) triennial hospital admission rates by sex for age groups 60-69, 70-79 and 80 or over by region and state; (3) hospital admission rates for the elderly from the two information systems. Temporal evolution showed higher rates in the north and lower ones in the northeast. The analysis by age group and sex showed higher rates for older men of the three investigated age groups. The comparison of rates obtained from the two information systems showed a gradual increase in rates from VIVA. After 2012, rates obtained from VIVA were higher in the Southeast, South and Midwest regions. The study highlights the need for further improvement of information on hospital morbidity and data from compulsory notification of violence.

ABSTRACT

No Brasil, há deficiência de registros completos na Declaração de Óbito, sendo questionada a confiabilidade, especialmente das causas relacionadas ao ciclo grávido-puerperal. Investigamos, em Declarações de Óbito de mulheres em idade fértil, o preenchimento dos campos que permitem identificar óbitos maternos. Pesquisa documental, conduzida a partir de prontuários hospitalares. Analisamos mortes maternas declaradas, não maternas, inconclusivas e mortes presumíveis. Para análise das causas básicas de morte utilizamos a Lista de Tabulação de Mortalidade da CID - BR-10. Das 301 declarações de óbito analisadas, 60% apresentaram os campos 43/44 preenchidos, e 40% apresentaram estes campos em branco e/ou ignorados. Encontramos 58,5% de mortes não maternas, 2% de mortes maternas declaradas e 39,5% mortes inconclusivas. A análise das mortes inconclusivas permitiu-nos classificar 4,3% como mortes presumíveis. Para sanar as incompletudes dos registros civis, é necessário o empenho de todos os profissionais de saúde para que a fidedignidade das informações seja uma meta atingida.


In Brazil, there is a lack of complete records on death certificates, and its reliability is questioned, especially for causes attributed to pregnancy and childbirth. We investigated, based on death certificates of women in reproductive age, any fields for identifying maternal deaths. Documentary research, conducted in hospital records. We analyzed in death certificates, maternal and no maternal deaths, inconclusive deaths and hidden deaths. To analyze the underlying causes of death we used ICD 10th Revision. Of the 301 death certificates reviewed, 60% had the fields 43/44 completed, and 40% had these fields blank and/or ignored. We found 58.5% of no maternal deaths, 2% of maternal deaths and 39.5% inconclusive. The analysis of inconclusive deaths allowed us to classify 4.3% as hidden deaths. To overcome the incompletitudes of civil registries, it is necessary that all health professionals be committed to the reliability of the information, so the priority target could be reached.


En Brasil, hay falta de registros completos sobre los certificados de defunción, y la fiabilidad, especialmente por causas relacionadas con el embarazo y puerperio he sido cuestionado. Investigamos, con base en los certificados de defunción de mujeres en edad fértil, los campos para la identificación de las muertes maternas. Investigación documental, realizada a partir de registros hospitalarios. Se analizaron los certificados de defunción, muertes maternas y no maternas, no conclusivas y presumibles. Para analizar las causas subyacentes de la muerte utilizamos la CIE 10 Revisión. De los 301 certificados de defunción revisados, 60% tenían campos 43/44 completos, 40% tenían estos campos en blanco y/o ignoradas. Se encontró 58,5% muertes no maternas, 2% de muertes maternas y 39,5% no conclusivas. El análisis de las muertes no conclusivas nos ha permitido clasificar 4,3% de muertes presumibles. Para superar las incompletitudes de los registros civiles, es necesario que todos los profesionales de la salud estén comprometidos con la fiabilidad de la información.

ABSTRACT

Estratégias que acelerem o processo de consolidação dos sistemas de informações em saúde e permitam a obtenção de dados confiáveis a partir das estatísticas vitais são uma necessidade urgente. Neste estudo, de natureza qualitativa, buscou-se compreender as concepções de gestores municipais e gerentes de Epidemiologia acerca do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM) na Macrorregião Nordeste de Minas Gerais, uma das mais pobres do Estado e com maiores proporções de óbitos por causas mal definidas. Foram entrevistados profissionais em dez municípios. Utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Verificou-se que o SIM era reconhecido como importante para a gestão, mas havia uma percepção generalizada entre os entrevistados de que ele atendia mais aos gestores estadual e federal do que ao município no planejamento de ações de saúde. Foram relatadas melhorias quanto à estrutura física dos municípios para operacionalizar o SIM, mas também lacunas relacionadas com a carência de recursos humanos capacitados para o uso sistemático e produtivo dos dados no nível local e com a rotatividade de profissionais. Parcerias entre a secretaria de saúde e outros setores do Estado podem contribuir para a redução da subnotificação de eventos e dos óbitos com causa mal definida.


Strategies to accelerate the consolidation process of health information systems and make it possible to obtain reliable data on vital statistics are urgently needed. This qualitative study sought to understand the concepts of municipal administrators and Epidemiology managers about the Mortality Information System (MIS) in the Northeast region of Minas Gerais, one of the poorest in the state with the highest proportions of deaths with ill-defined causes. Professionals from ten municipalities were interviewed and their answers evaluated by content analysis. It was found that the MIS was perceived as important for management, but there was a general perception among respondents that it served the state and federal managers rather than the municipality in the planning of health actions. Improvements were reported in the physical structure of the municipalities to make the MIS operational, but also shortcomings related to lack of trained human resources for the systematic use and production of data at the local level and with high staff turnover. Partnerships between the health department with other state sectors can contribute to reduce under-registration of events and deaths with ill-defined causes.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho analisa a evolução da cobertura do registro de óbitos e sua relação com o número de mortes por causas mal definidas, em Minas Gerais, entre 1980 e 2007. O trabalho combina técnicas de demografia formal com técnicas de análise espacial, visando investigar se a melhoria da cobertura dos registros de óbitos caminha junto com o aumento dos registros de mortes mal definidas. Os resultados mostram que, ao mesmo tempo em que a cobertura das mortes apresentou melhorias, os focos de mortes por causas mal definidas aumentaram expressivamente. Os resultados indicam que uma morte mal definida, hoje, provavelmente substitua um óbito não registrado no passado. Uma análise complementar espacial das taxas de mortes por causas mal definidas ainda aponta para uma crescente correlação de mortes mal definidas nas direções norte e nordeste do Estado de Minas Gerais.


This paper analyzes the evolution of the coverage of the death counts registration system and its relation to the presence of ill-defined causes of deaths, in the state of Minas Gerais, between 1980 and 2007. The study combines formal demography techniques with spatial analysis techniques, aimed at investigating if the improvement in the death counts registration system is accompanied by an increase in the registration of ill-defined causes of death. The results show that although the coverage of deaths has improved, foci of ill-defined causes of death have increased substantially. The results indicate that ill-defined causes of death have probably currently replaced the non-registered deaths of the past. A complementary spatial analysis of rates of ill-defined causes of death also points toward a growing correlation in ill-defined deaths in the North and Northeast of the State of Minas Gerais.


Este trabajo analiza la evolución de la cobertura del registro de defunciones y su relación con el número de muertes por causas mal definidas, en Minas Gerais, entre 1980 y 2007. El trabajo combina técnicas de demografía formal con técnicas de análisis espacial, que tienen por objetivo investigar si la mejoría de la cobertura de los registros de defunciones se produce junto al aumento de los registros de muertes mal definidas. Los resultados muestran que, al mismo tiempo en que la cobertura de las muertes presentó mejorías, los focos de muertes por causas mal definidas aumentaron de manera significativa. Los resultados indican que una muerte mal definida, hoy, probablemente substituya una defunción no registrada en el pasado. Un análisis complementario espacial de las tasas de muertes por causas mal definidas indica, incluso, una creciente correlación de muertes mal definidas en las zonas del norte y noreste del Estado de Minas Gerais.
