ABSTRACT
Abstract

Purpose:

To outline the epidemiological profile of clinical treatments for glaucoma provided by the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS, acronym in Portuguese) between January 2012 and December 2018.

Methods:

A quantitative and descriptive study was conducted using available data based on the outpatient information system from SUS (SIA/SUS, acronym in Portuguese). The variables were monocular treatment with first, second, and third-line drugs; monocular treatment with combinations of two drugs and three drugs from different lines; binocular treatment with first, second, and third-line drugs; and binocular treatment with combinations of two drugs and three drugs from different lines.

Results:

During the analysis period, the prevalence of clinical therapies for glaucoma increased from 2012 to 2017 and decreased from 2017 to 2018. Of the clinically treated patients, 96% were carriers of binocular glaucoma. Among the regions of Brazil, the Northeast had the highest prevalence of binocular glaucoma (about 60% of the number of cases), and the most common therapy was combinations of two drugs from different lines. The Southeast region had the highest concentration of monocular glaucoma (53% of cases), and the predominant therapy was combinations of three drugs from different lines. The Midwest region had the lowest prevalence of monocular-treatments for glaucoma (less than 6%).

Conclusion:

In Brazil, the highest number of treatments offered by the public health system was in the Northeast and Southeast regions. There is a high national prevalence and potential for the morbidity of this disease. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen programs aimed at early diagnosis and appropriate treatment to reduce adverse outcomes.
RESUMO
Resumo

Objetivo:

Traçar o perfil epidemiológico do tratamento clínico para o glaucoma no Brasil fornecido pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), no período de janeiro de 2012 a dezembro de 2018.

Métodos:

Estudo quantitativo e descritivo, utilizando a base de dados disponível no Sistema de Informações Ambulatoriais do SUS (SIA/SUS). As variáveis utilizadas foram tratamento monocular com drogas de primeira, de segunda e de terceira linha; tratamento monocular com combinações de duas drogas e de três drogas de diferentes linhas; tratamento binocular com drogas de primeira, de segunda e de terceira linha; e tratamento binocular com combinações de duas drogas e de três drogas de diferentes linhas.

Resultados:

Durante o período analisado, a prevalência de terapias clínicas para o glaucoma aumentou entre 2012 e 2017 e diminuiu entre 2017 e 2018. Dos pacientes tratados clinicamente, 96% eram portadores de glaucoma binocular. Entre as regiões do Brasil, o Nordeste teve a maior prevalência de glaucoma binocular (cerca de 60% do número de casos), e a terapia mais comum foi a combinação de duas drogas de diferentes linhas. A região Sudeste teve a maior concentração de glaucoma monocular (53% dos casos), e a terapia predominante foi a combinação de três drogas de diferentes linhas. A região Centro-Oeste apresentou a menor prevalência de tratamentos monoculares para o glaucoma (menos de 6%).

Conclusão:

No Brasil, o maior número de tratamentos oferecidos pelo sistema público de saúde foi nas regiões Nordeste e Sudeste. Existe uma alta prevalência nacional e um alto potencial para morbidade desta doença. Portanto, é necessário fortalecer programas voltados para o diagnóstico precoce e para o tratamento adequado a fim de reduzir os resultados adversos.
