RESUMEN

Introducción:

La hipoacusia sensorioneural infantil es una causa frecuente de discapacidad en la infancia. Si bien la intervención ha demostrado ser costo efectiva, un alto porcentaje no accede al implante coclear por problemas de cobertura de los servicios de salud.

Objetivo:

Conocer el uso y distribución del gasto público de salud en el programa piloto de implantes cocleares del Hospital Barros Luco Trudeau. Material y

método:

Se realizó un Análisis de Beneficio de Incidencia, que permite conocer la distribución y el uso del gasto público en salud entre los distintos grupos socioeconómicos.

Resultados:

Durante el período del estudio se realizaron 73 implantes cocleares en menores de 15 años, correspondiendo a 35 niñas y 38 hombres. El 56,1% de los menores con implante coclear se ubicaban en el primer quintil de ingresos, el 27,5% al segundo quintil, 15,1% en el tercer quintil, y un caso pertenecía al cuarto quintil, no registrándose ningún niño en el quinto quintil de ingresos según los datos de la encuesta CASEN 2009.

Discusión:

Al evaluar el programa se deduce que en este caso específico los recursos públicos se encuentran focalizados hacia la población con menores ingresos económicos y con menor acceso a los servicios sanitarios.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Childhood sensorineural hearing loss is a common cause of disability in children, with harmful consequences for individuals, family and society if it is not detected and treated early in life. While the intervention has proven to be cost effective, a high percentage does not access the cochlear implant coverage because of problems of health care.

Aim:

To determine the use and distribution of public expenditure in health in the pilot program of cochlear implants of the Barros Luco Trudeau Hospital. Material and

method:

We conducted a Benefit/Incidence Analysis, that is a model that evaluate the distribution and use of public expenditure on health between different socioeconomic groups.

Results:

During the study period there were performed 73 cochlear implants in children under 15years, corresponding to 35 girls and 38 men. The 56.1% of children with cochlear implants belonged to the lowest income quintile, 27.5% to the second quintile, 15.1% belonged to the third quintile, and one case belonged to the fourth quintile. There were no child of the fifth quintile of income according to the data of the 2009 CASEN survey.

Discussion:

When evaluating the program, in this specific case we can establish that public resources are targeted to people with lower incomes and less access to health services.
