ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Pharmaceutical Assistance (PA) is a dynamic and multidisciplinary process that aims to supply health systems, programs or services with quality medicines, enabling access and health care, in an efficient and timely manner. The objective of the study was to evaluate the profile of administrative processes for the treatment of PsA, identify the time elapsed in the flow of processes and its associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study of medication requests for the treatment of PsA was carried out between November 2014 and December 2016. Linear regression was used to verify the factors associated with time to delivery. Results: A total of 218 cases containing 250 drugs were analyzed. The median time between the medical appointment and the first dispensation was 66 days (interquartile range, 44-90). The State proceedings, which includes requesting the drug until the authorization of treatment, was the stage that most contributed to the total time spent. The factors associated with the longer time to delivery of medications were prescriptions coming from clinics and specialty centers, from dermatologists, non-authorized processes and non-persistent patients in the treatment in 12 months. Conclusion: The median time to receive medicines for the PsA treatment in Belo Horizonte health region after a medical prescription was higher than 2 months. The time between the solicitation of the medicines and the authorization of the treatment in the SUS (State administrative procedure) was the main component of the total time spent.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la influencia de factores sociodemográficos en las manifestaciones clínicas, actividad de la enfermedad, estado funcional y calidad de vida de pacientes con artritis psoriásica (APs). Métodos: Se incluyeron 148 pacientes con APs reclutados de varios centros de reumatología de Argentina. Se determinaron factores sociodemográficos: edad, sexo, raza, nivel de educación, fuentes de ingreso personal, escala de Graffar y clases sociales. Al inicio de la enfermedad se evaluaron las siguientes variables: edad al inicio, duración de la enfermedad, manifestaciones clínicas y forma clínica de presentación. La actividad de la enfermedad fue evaluada mediante número de articulaciones activas, escala visual análoga (EVA) global del paciente y BASDAI. El estado funcional y la calidad de vida de los pacientes se determinó por medio de BASFI, ASQoL y SF-12 (Versión 1.0). Para el análisis estadístico de los datos obtenidos se utilizó test de Chi-cuadrado, test exacto de Fisher y test de Kruskal-Wallis. Resultados: De los 148 pacientes, 58,8% fueron mujeres con una edad media al inicio de la enfermedad de 53,2 ± 13,6 años y una duración media de enfermedad de 9,3 ± 8,9 años. La edad al inicio, el sexo, la raza y la escala de Graffar no estuvieron asociados con manifestaciones clínicas, actividad de la enfermedad, estado funcional y calidad de vida
