RESUMO
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as tendências temporais e geográficas das diarreias e suas implicações nas demandas de hospitalizações de crianças menores de cinco anos no Estado de Pernambuco, nos anos 1997 e 2006. Foram usados os bancos de dados de dois inquéritos de base populacional, com amostras probabilísticas de 2078 crianças, em 1997, e 1650 crianças, em 2006, avaliadas em 18 municípios de Pernambuco, incluindo a Região Metropolitana do Recife, Interior Urbano e Interior Rural. Considerou-se como prevalência a ocorrência de casos no dia ou nas duas semanas anteriores à entrevista e como internações o atendimento de casos com internação mínima de 24 horas, cobrindo o retrospecto de 12 meses. A prevalência das diarreias em Pernambuco teve um declínio estatisticamente não significante (19,8% para 18,1%; p = 0,192); contudo, na Região Metropolitana do Recife, foi observada uma redução estatisticamente significante (16,9% para 10,5%; p = 0,003). As internações aumentaram em mais de duas vezes (2,7% para 5,5%, no estado, e de 1,6% para 3,8%, na RMR), contrapondo-se, assim, às tendências nacionais. Portanto, as diarreias no Estado passaram a figurar como o principal componente das demandas de hospitalizações pediátricas no período analisado.
ABSTRACT
Abstract The scope of this paper was to assess the temporal and geographical trends of diarrhea and its implications on the demands of hospitalizations of children under five years of age in the state of Pernambuco in 1997 and 2006. Databases of two population-based surveys were assessed with probabilistic samples of 2078 children (1997) and 1650 children (2006) evaluated in 18 municipalities of Pernambuco, including the Metropolitan Region of Recife, Urban Interior and Rural Interior. Prevalence was considered to involve the occurrence of cases on the day or in the two weeks prior to the interview and as admissions, service cases with minimal hospital stay of 24 hours in the period, covering up to one year before the interview. The prevalence of diarrhea in Pernambuco had a statistically non-significant decline (19.8% to 18.1%; p = 0.192). However, a statistically-significant reduction was observed (16.9% to 10.5%; p = 0.003) in the Metropolitan Region of Recife. The number of admissions increased by more than double (2.7% to 5.5% in the State and from 1.6% to 3.8% within the Metropolitan Region of Recife), in contrast with national trends. Therefore, diarrhea in the State appears as the main component of the demands of pediatric hospitalizations during the period under scrutiny.
