ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To validate the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria to diagnose malnutrition in hospitalized people living with HIV or AIDS (HA) considering different combinations, using the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) as the semi-gold standard, and to assess the predictive effects of malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria on hospital length of stay and mortality. METHODS: Retrospective observational study including hospitalized people living with HA aged >18 y. Forty GLIM combinations were obtained by combining the different phenotypic and etiologic criteria. The concurrent validity was assessed according to the sensitivity and specificity values, and the agreement with the SGA was tested using κ values. Multivariate logistic and Cox regression models were used to test the independent predictors for longer length of stay (LOS) and mortality, respectively. RESULTS: The sample comprised 320 patients (mean age, 44.6 ± 12.1 y; 69.1% were men, and 68.4% were malnourished, according to the SGA). The prevalence of malnutrition, according to GLIM, varied from 10.3% to 69.1%. The combination of any phenotypic criteria with the etiologic criteria of low food intake and the combination of any phenotypic criteria with the etiologic criteria of disease severity were independent predictors for mortality (Hazard Ratio: 2.09 [95% CI, 1.15-3.77] and 2.09 [95% CI, 1.25-3.51], respectively). The combination of low body mass index and reduced absorption was independently associated with LOS higher than the median value (Oodds Ratio; 2.57; 95% CI, 1.21-5.45). CONCLUSIONS: Nine GLIM combinations had satisfactory sensitivity and specificity values to determine concurrent validity, all of them including weight loss and low weight; two combinations were independent predictors of mortality (any phenotypic criteria and low food intake or opportunistic infections), and one combination predicted longer LOS. Combining any phenotypic criteria with low food intake resulted in adequate concurrent and predictive validity.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the association of congenital anomalies in live births with the obstetric-neonatal and sociodemographic profile. Methods: an ecological study, conducted in 2019, with 251,444 live births, identified through the database of the Live Birth Information System of the Minas Gerais Health Secretariat. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were adopted for the analysis. Results: 1,865 cases of anomalies (0.7%) were found, with predominance of deformity of the musculoskeletal system in 789 (42.3%) live births. The variables that presented a significant association with congenital anomalies were single mothers, age ≥35 years old, inadequately performed prenatal care initiated in the third trimester of pregnancy, double (or more) pregnancy, preterm births, cesarean delivery, fetal breech presentation, exclusive assistance by the medical professional during delivery, newborn with high-risk 5-minute Apgar score, low birth weight, and male gender. Conclusion: in 2019, the congenital malformations in the state of Minas Gerais were associated with single women, aged ≥35 years old, who underwent inadequate and late prenatal care, and with double or more pregnancies. In relation to the newborns, the malformations were associated with a high risk for late sequelae, weight between ≤1,000 g and <2.500 g, and male gender.

ABSTRACT

The objective was to analyze the temporal trend of the incidence of congenital syphilis (CS) and to characterize the disease in the state of Minas Gerais (MG) between 2007 and 2015. Quantitative study, of a time series analysis, with the database from the Information System of Diseases Notification, referring to cases of CS reported in MG between 2007 and 2015. It was used descriptive statistics, calculation of the incidence rate of CS and polynomial regression model for temporal trend analysis. The results showed that in the period 4,381 cases were registered. The incidence rate ranged from 0.61 to 5.08 per 1,000 live births (LB),with an increase in the temporal trend of the CS incidence coefficient in the period from 2007 to 2015, with an annual rate variation of 30.6% (95% CI: 21.0 - 41.0). There was a predominance of brown-skinned newborns (38.7%), up to 6 days old (94.7%) and the majority (63.6%) did not present any suggestive manifestations of CS, but definitive diagnosis for recent CS (95.2%). The number of reported cases is increasing, suggesting that it is necessary, for improvement in the prenatal care, diagnosis, appropriate treatment, health care and notification.

Estudo quantitativo, de análise de série temporal, com banco de dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação, referentes aos casos de SC notificados em MG entre 2007 e 2015. Utilizou-se estatística descritiva, cálculo da taxa de incidência de SC e modelo de regressão polinomial para análise de tendência temporal. Os resultados mostraram que no período registraram-se 4.381 casos. A taxa de incidência variou entre 0,61 e 5,08/1.000 nascidos vivos (NV), com incremento na tendência temporal do coeficiente de incidência da SC no período de 2007 a 2015, com variação anual da taxa de 30,6% (IC95%: 21,0 ­ 41,0). Houve predomínio de recém-nascidos de cor de pele parda (38,7%), faixa etária de até 6 dias de vida (94,7%) e a maioria (63,6%) não apresentou, em relação ao exame físico, qualquer manifestação sugestiva de SC, porém teve diagnóstico definitivo para SC recente (95,2%). O número de casos notificados é crescente, sugerindo que há uma necessidade de melhoria na assistência ao pré-natal, diagnóstico, tratamento adequado, ações de saúde e notificação.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the temporal trend of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) incidence, detection and mortality coefficients in the state of Minas Gerais between 2007 and 2016. METHODS: this was a time series study of data held on the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System (Sinan) using Prais-Winsten regression. RESULTS: in the period studied, 35,349 cases were notified, with predominance of sexually transmitted cases (81.7%), 50.3% of which were heterosexual cases and 22.8% were homosexual cases. AIDS incidence increased (annual change 1.6%; 95%CI 0.0;3.3) as did HIV detection (annual change 60.3%; 95%CI 22.9;109.0). The mortality rate was stationary; HIV+ notifications increased from 3.8% in 2007 to 65.1% in 2016. CONCLUSION: the growing trend of HIV+ detection coincided with the government strategy to identify cases. AIDS incidence increased.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: analisar a tendência temporal dos coeficientes de incidência, detecção e mortalidade pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) e síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (aids) no estado de Minas Gerais, de 2007 a 2016. Métodos: estudo de séries temporais, com dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Sinan), por regressão de Prais-Winsten. Resultados: no período estudado, foram notificados 35.349 casos,entre os quais predominou a transmissão por via sexual (81,7%); destes, 50,3% foram entre heterossexuais e 22,8% entre homossexuais. Houve aumento da taxa de incidência de aids (variação anual 1,6%; IC95%0,0;3,3) e de detecção de HIV+ (variação anual 60,3%; IC95%22,9;109,0). A taxa de mortalidade foi estacionária. O percentual de notificações pelo critério HIV+ aumentou de 3,8% em 2007 para 65,1% em 2016. Conclusão: a tendência de crescimento da detecção de HIV coincide com a estratégia para identificação dos casos; a incidência de aids foi crescente.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to analyze cases of complicated varicella and the impact of varicella vaccination in Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS: This was a time series study of a territorial basis using data on varicella cases from 2010 to 2016, which was provided by the State Health Department of Minas Gerais on . Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis, and the generalized linear regression model proposed by Prais-Winsten was used for the time tendency, adopting a significance level of 5% and the integrated autoregressive modeling of moving averages. RESULTS: There were 1,635 cases of varicella; out of which cellulitis (44%) was the predominant complication. The home-acquired cases were 38.9% and 464 cases (40.6%) were not previously vaccinated. There was a significant decrease in the incidence coefficient when comparing the pre- and post- immunization periods, from 1.95 cases/100,000 inhabitants in 2010 to 0.24 cases/100.000 inhabitants in 2016 (p<0.05). There was a higher incidence of cases recorded among males, with higher prevalence in the age group of 1-4 years (54.7%). Lethality was higher between 5-9 years of age (44%). Mortality was higher in the age group of 0-4 years and among females (2.58/100,000 inhabitants/year). The overall trend of the incidence coefficient was a decreasing one, with an annual percentage variation. CONCLUSIONS: The number of complicated varicella cases notified decreased, coincidentally, in the post-immunization period. However, the immunization coverage period was restricted for the assessment of the correlation between immunization coverage and incidence.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O processo de transformação que a saúde mental passou nos últimos anos requer a avaliação contínua dos serviços com o propósito de garantir a qualidade do cuidado. Nessa área, o profissional é o principal recurso técnico para a produção do cuidado em saúde mental, de acordo com as políticas públicas vigentes. Objetivo: Avaliar a satisfação e a sobrecarga do trabalho nos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e Drogas (CAPS AD) da Região do Triângulo Mineiro. Métodos: Participaram da pesquisa 42 profissionais dos três CAPS AD dessa região. A coleta dos dados foi realizada com questionário sociodemográfico e perfil profissional; escala de avaliação da satisfação dos usuários em serviços de saúde mental (SATIS-BR) e a escala de avaliação do impacto do trabalho em serviços de saúde mental (IMPACT-BR). Foram feitas análises estatísticas descritivas e medidas de centralidade e de dispersão para as variáveis numéricas, bem como testes t de Student, não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney e as sintaxes das escalas de pontuação dos testes. Resultados: A satisfação geral da equipe apresentou escore médio de 3,47, e a sobrecarga geral, escore médio de 2,10, sendo 1 o mínimo e 5 o máximo. Conclusão: Os resultados apontados no estudo são importantes para identificar os aspectos do trabalho que precisam ser melhorados, sejam eles administrativos, sejam operacionais. Aprimorar as condições de trabalho da equipe técnica é fundamental para a qualidade da atenção integral à saúde das pessoas que fazem uso problemático de álcool e outras drogas.


Background: The transformations mental health care underwent in recent years require continuous evaluation of services to guarantee the quality of care. As per the public policies in vigor, care providers are the main technical resource in this field. Objective: To investigate satisfaction and work overload among workers at Psychosocial Care Centers ­ Alcohol and Drugs (PCC AD) in the Minas Triangle region, Brazil. Methods: Participants were 42 care providers at the three PCC AD in the analyzed region. Data collection was performed through a sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire, the Consumers and Caregivers' Satisfaction with Mental Health Services scale and IMPACT-BR. Numerical variables were subjected to descriptive analysis and expressed as measures of central tendency and dispersion; also Student's t-test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test were used. Results: The mean score for overall satisfaction was 3.47 and that for general work overload 2.10 on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). Conclusion: The results point to relevant administrative and operational aspects of work at PCC AD which need to be improved. Improving the staff's working conditions is essential to ensure high-quality integrated care to individuals with substance abuse.

ABSTRACT

This study examines the dimensional structure and reliability of the 36-item Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ) in a Brazilian Portuguese version, an instrument used to measure the importance of motives behind food choices. The sample includes 502 adults. Confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) were used to evaluate the configural (dimensionality) and metric (magnitude of factorial loadings, residual correlations and factorial discriminatory validity) structures of the instrument. Internal consistency evaluation used the Omega coefficient (Ω); temporal reproducibility used the Kappa coefficient with quadratic weighting (κ) in a separate sample of 41 subjects. The final CFA corroborates the 9-factor original structure and shows high factorial loadings (λi > 0.80 in 34 items); two residual correlations (r(i2-i3) = 0.773 and r(i16 i17) = 0.853); and factorial correlations indicating factor discriminant validity (φ < 0.80). Regarding reliability, there is adequate internal consistency (Ω = 0.877 to 0.968), and good test-retest reproducibility indicating temporal stability (κ = 0.768 to 0.917). It can be concluded that the FCQ version has good configural and metric properties, and may be recommended for use in Brazil in its present form.


Este estudo examinou a estrutura dimensional e a confiabilidade da versão em português brasileiro do Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ) de 36 itens, instrumento utilizado para medir a importância dos motivos que levam às escolhas alimentares. A amostra incluiu 502 adultos. Utilizou-se análises fatoriais confirmatórias (AFC) para avaliar a estrutura configural (dimensionalidade) e métrica (magnitude de cargas fatoriais, correlações residuais e validade fatorial discriminante). A avaliação de consistência interna usou o coeficiente ômega (Ω); a reprodutibilidade temporal usou o coeficiente Kappa com ponderação quadrática (κ) em uma amostra separada de 41 indivíduos. A AFC final corrobora a estrutura original de 9 fatores e mostra altas cargas fatoriais (λi > 0,80 em 34 itens); duas correlações residuais (r(i2-i3) = 0,773 e r(i16i17) = 0,853); e correlações fatoriais indicando validade fatorial discriminante (φ < 0,80). Quanto à confiabilidade, há adequada consistência interna (Ω = 0,877 a 0,968) e boa reprodutibilidade teste-reteste indicando estabilidade temporal (κ = 0,768 a 0,917). Conclui-se que a versão do FCQ possui boas propriedades configurais e métricas, já podendo ser recomendada para uso no Brasil na sua presente forma.

This study aimed to characterize the cases of tuberculosis (TB) co-infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, after the notification sheet modification, and to verify the association between the new variables and the treatment outcome. It is an analytical cross-sectional study with TB/HIV cases notified in the year 2016 to the Brazilian Information System for Notifiable Diseases (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação). Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and multiple correspondence analysis were performed to verify the association between the outcome, ageand associated diseases. Of the 180 cases, most were male (75.6%) between 30 and 49 years old (63.3%), mixed ethnicity (black and white) (49.4%), 94.4% had the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and 60.6% had pulmonary TB. The molecular test was not performed at the time of diagnosis in 70.5% of the cases. Homeless people (4.4%) and prisoners (3.9%) featured prominently among the special populations. People between 40 and 49 years old without concurrent diseases were cured in 40.0% of the cases; 18.9% abandoned the treatment due to smoking, drug abuse and mental illness in the age group between 20 and 29 years old. The deaths were associated with the age group between 30 and 39 years old and the occurrence of AIDS. The results have shown that the groups considered vulnerable (drug users, smokers and people with mental illness) abandoned the treatment, the notification upon death from AIDS in adults was late and some treatments were inadequate. The epidemiological surveillance, prevention and assistance strategies towards cases of TB/HIV must be improved in order to achieve the goal of the Brazilian National Plan to end Tuberculosis as a Public Health Problem until 2035 in the state.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O estudo objetivou descrever o perfil dos usuários em tratamento nos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial - álcool e drogas (CAPSad) da região do Triângulo Mineiro, em Minas Gerais. Estudo de tipo transversal, com amostra de 369 usuários. Utilizou-se um instrumento contendo variáveis sociodemográficas e sobre o atendimento no CAPSad; sobre substâncias psicoativas utilizadas ao longo da vida e no último mês; idade de uso inicial; internação e medicação decorrentes do uso; tempo e modalidade de tratamento. Realizaram-se análise estatística descritiva e testes t-Student, não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney, análise de variância paramétrica (ANOVA-F), de comparações múltiplas de Dunn. Verificaram-se maiores percentuais de homens (80,5%), com idade entre 41 e 60 anos (45,8%), sem companheiro(a) (55,2%), com ensino fundamental incompleto (38,4%), desempregados (34,7%) e em tratamento entre 1 e 5 anos (62,9%). O álcool foi a substância mais utilizada ao longo da vida (89,7%); e no último mês (77,8%). Este estudo reforça a necessidade de resgate da autonomia, da reinserção social, do trabalho com valor social e dos direitos de cidadania, a partir de uma atenção especializada e individualizada. As redes sociais de apoio, a intersetorialidade e a articulação das Redes de Atenção Psicossocial devem ser a base da transformação para que essas questões se concretizem na prática assistencial.


ABSTRACT The study aimed to describe the profile of users being treated in the Psychosocial Care Centers - alcohol and drugs (CAPSad) of the Triângulo Mineiro region of Minas Gerais. A cross-sectional study, with sample of 369 users into treatment. An instrument was used containing sociodemographic variables and about care in CAPSad; about psychoactive substances used throughout life and in the last month; age of initial use of psychoactive substances; hospitalization and medication resulting from the use; time and modality of treatment. Descriptive statistical analysis and Student's t-tests, non-parametric Mann-Whitney, parametric analysis of variance (ANOVA-F), and Dunn's multiple comparisons were performed. There was a higher percentage of men (80.5%), age between 41 and 60 years (45.8%), without partner (55.2%), incomplete elementary school (38.4%), unemployed (34.7%) and in treatment between 1 and 5 years (62.9%). Alcohol was the most used substance throughout life (89.7%); and in the last month (77.8%). This study reinforces the need to rescue autonomy, social reintegration, work with social value, citizenship rights based on specialized and individualized attention. Social support networks, intersectoriality and the articulation of the Psychosocial Attention Networks should be the basis of the transformation so that these issues are concretized in the care practice.

ABSTRACT

This article aims to evaluate the quality of life of working women and its relationship with sociodemographic and occupational aspects. Cross-sectional study in a sample of 579 working women in a city with a population of 318,000. Data was collected by means of questionnaires for sociodemographic, occupational and WHOQOL-BREF characteristics. For the analysis, we used descriptive statistics, t-student test and the Pearson correlation. The working women on average were 42.70 ±13.74 years old; there was a predominance of Caucasians with 9 to 12 years of formal education and an individual monthly minimum-wage income at a single job as a registered employee or civil servant. The average Quality of Life was 72.87, with a better result in the area of Social Relations and the lowest in the area of Environment. The Environment domain was significantly more compromised in women who did not have rest breaks during work, those who did not have good relationships with their coworkers, had more diseases or injuries, less formal education and lower monthly income. The Social Relations domain was significantly compromised by the number of injuries or diseases.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The transformations mental health care underwent in recent years require continuous evaluation of services to guarantee the quality of care. As per the public policies in vigor, care providers are the main technical resource in this field. OBJECTIVE: To investigate satisfaction and work overload among workers at Psychosocial Care Centers - Alcohol and Drugs (PCC AD) in the Minas Triangle region, Brazil. METHODS: Participants were 42 care providers at the three PCC AD in the analyzed region. Data collection was performed through a sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire, the Consumers and Caregivers' Satisfaction with Mental Health Services scale and IMPACT-BR. Numerical variables were subjected to descriptive analysis and expressed as measures of central tendency and dispersion; also Student's t-test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test were used. RESULTS: The mean score for overall satisfaction was 3.47 and that for general work overload 2.10 on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). CONCLUSION: The results point to relevant administrative and operational aspects of work at PCC AD which need to be improved. Improving the staff's working conditions is essential to ensure high-quality integrated care to individuals with substance abuse.

ABSTRACT

Abstract INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to analyze cases of complicated varicella and the impact of varicella vaccination in Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS: This was a time series study of a territorial basis using data on varicella cases from 2010 to 2016, which was provided by the State Health Department of Minas Gerais on . Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis, and the generalized linear regression model proposed by Prais-Winsten was used for the time tendency, adopting a significance level of 5% and the integrated autoregressive modeling of moving averages. RESULTS: There were 1,635 cases of varicella; out of which cellulitis (44%) was the predominant complication. The home-acquired cases were 38.9% and 464 cases (40.6%) were not previously vaccinated. There was a significant decrease in the incidence coefficient when comparing the pre- and post- immunization periods, from 1.95 cases/100,000 inhabitants in 2010 to 0.24 cases/100.000 inhabitants in 2016 (p<0.05). There was a higher incidence of cases recorded among males, with higher prevalence in the age group of 1-4 years (54.7%). Lethality was higher between 5-9 years of age (44%). Mortality was higher in the age group of 0-4 years and among females (2.58/100,000 inhabitants/year). The overall trend of the incidence coefficient was a decreasing one, with an annual percentage variation. CONCLUSIONS: The number of complicated varicella cases notified decreased, coincidentally, in the post-immunization period. However, the immunization coverage period was restricted for the assessment of the correlation between immunization coverage and incidence.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Over 30 years after the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome epidemic, several strategies have been implemented to verify the trend of the infection, the profile of the affected individuals, and the impact of prevention and control measures, with notification of asymptomatic carriers being the most recent measure. This study aimed to verify the geographic distribution of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and analyze the association between case definition criteria, sociodemographic data, and clinical aspects of the disease in the State of Minas Gerais between 2007 and 2016. METHODS: In this ecological and analytical study, 35,349 cases of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome reported in the State of Minas Gerais between 2007 and 2016 were analyzed. The data were analyzed using multiple correspondence factor analysis, time series analysis, descriptive statistics, and spatial distribution of the cases by macro-region. RESULTS: The majority of the patients were brown-skinned individuals, alive, diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome on the basis of the criteria adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and living in municipalities with more than 50,000 (80.5%) inhabitants. Between 2007 and 2016, there was an increase in the number of criteria used for diagnosing human immunodeficiency virus. By contrast, a consequent decrease was observed in the number of criteria used for defining cases, which were adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rio de Janeiro/Caracas, and for identifying AIDS-related deaths. Young people aged between 13 and 29 years, individuals whose education level is compatible with the observed age, and homosexual men were associated with the HIV+ criterion. CONCLUSIONS: Out study showed that after the mandatory notification of human immunodeficiency virus-positive cases in 2014, there was a decrease in other criteria for defining human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome cases and changes in the profile of people living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
