ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To identify the effect of exercise interventions on physical frailty in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS: Relevant articles were searched in MEDLINE, LILACS, Scielo, Embase, and PEDro in November 2022, based on a protocol registered in PROSPERO and according to items prescribed in Report for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, using Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) and free terms for search strategy, with no language restrictions. The studies were considered if they had been published between January 2010 and November 2022, and were randomized clinical trials in which pre-frail and frail older community-dwelling adults had undergone exercise-based physical therapy. RESULTS: The systematic review found 5360 citations; after screening, abstract, and full-text screening for eligibility, seven studies were included, involving 1304 participants overall. The exercise modalities differed substantially between studies. The meta-analysis identified a statistically significant difference in frailty between older adults who exercised compared with those who exercised with no or minimal intervention. No heterogeneity between articles was observed, and the risk of bias was considered low according to funnel plot visual inspection. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this review suggest that physical therapy programs are effective in decreasing levels of physical frailty in community-dwelling older adults.

ABSTRACT

Considering the institution of the Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPD) in Brazil, this study analyzed the spatial distribution and the temporal trend of implementing specialized services that received financial support in the first eight years of this policy. We realized an ecological study based on the National Register of Health Facilities data from April/2012 to March/2020. A joinpoint regression was used for temporal trend analysis, and thematic maps were produced for spatial analysis of rehabilitation modalities and types of services. The most available services were physical and intellectual rehabilitation. The Southeast and Northeast regions had a higher concentration of specialized services. Despite the lower number of services, there was an average annual growth between 9.6% and 41.3%. This finding indicates an increase in specialized services for people with disabilities in the period analyzed, but care gaps are still being verified in the macro-regions of Brazil.

ABSTRACT

Based on a national representative sample of the population aged 50 years or older, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of frailty among men and women, identify associated sociodemographic and health factors, and estimate the population attributable fraction. Data from the second wave (2019-2021) of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) were used. Frailty was classified based on the number of positive items among unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, low level of physical activity, slow gait, and weakness. The main analyses were based on multinomial logistic regression stratified by sex. The prevalence of frailty was lower in men (8.6%; 95%CI: 6.9; 10.7) than in women (11.9%; 95%CI: 9.6; 14.8), with the most frequent item being the low level of physical activity in both. Age and schooling level were the sociodemographic factors associated with pre-frailty and fragility among men and women. The population attributable fraction was different for frailty between genders. In men, the highest population attributable fraction was due to not having a partner (23.5%; 95%CI: 7.7; 39.2) and low schooling level (18.2%; 95%CI: 6.6; 29,7). In women, higher population attributable fraction values were due to memory deficit (17.1%; 95%CI: 7.6; 26.6), vision deficit (13.4%; 95%CI: 5.1; 21.7), and diabetes mellitus (11.4%; 95%CI: 4.6; 18,1). Similar population attributable fraction levels were observed for heart disease (8.9%; 95%CI: 3.8; 14.1 in women and 8.8%; 95%CI: 2.0; 15.6 in men). Strategies aimed at physical activity have the potential to prevent frailty in both men and women, and the prevention of chronic conditions is more important in women.


Este trabalho, baseado em amostra nacional representativa da população com 50 anos ou mais, objetivou estimar a prevalência da fragilidade entre homens e mulheres, identificar fatores sociodemográficos e de saúde associados e estimar a fração atribuível populacional. Foram utilizados dados da segunda onda (2019-2021) do Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde dos Idosos Brasileiros (ELSI-Brasil). A fragilidade foi classificada pelo número de itens positivos entre perda de peso não intencional, exaustão, baixo nível de atividade física, lentidão da marcha e fraqueza. As análises principais foram baseadas na regressão logística multinomial estratificada por sexo. A prevalência da fragilidade foi menor nos homens (8,6%; IC95%: 6,9; 10,7) do que nas mulheres (11,9%; IC95%: 9,6; 14,8), sendo o item mais frequente o baixo nível de atividade física em ambos. A idade e a escolaridade foram os fatores sociodemográficos associados à pré-fragilidade e à fragilidade entre homens e mulheres. Houve diferença da fração atribuível populacional para fragilidade entre os sexos. Nos homens, a maior fração atribuível populacional foi para não ter companheiro (23,5%; IC95%: 7,7; 39,2) e escolaridade baixa (18,2%; IC95%: 6,6; 29,7). Nas mulheres, maiores frações atribuíveis populacionais foram para déficit de memória (17,1%; IC95%: 7,6; 26,6), déficit da visão (13,4%; IC95%: 5,1; 21,7) e diabetes mellitus (11,4%; IC95%: 4,6; 18,1). Observou-se fração atribuível populacional semelhante para doença cardíaca (8,9%; IC95%: 3,8; 14,1, em mulheres; e 8,8%; IC95%: 2,0; 15,6, em homens). Estratégias voltadas para a prática de atividade física têm o potencial de prevenir a fragilidade em ambos os sexos, enquanto a prevenção de condições crônicas é mais importante nas mulheres.


Este estudio tuvo por objetivo estimar, utilizando una muestra nacional representativa de la población de 50 años o más, la prevalencia de la fragilidad entre hombres y mujeres, identificar los factores sociodemográficos y de salud asociados, y calcular la fracción atribuible a la población. Se utilizaron datos de la 2ª ola (2019-2021) del Estudio Longitudinal de Salud de los Ancianos Brasileños (ELSI-Brasil). La fragilidad se clasificó por el número de elementos positivos entre pérdida de peso no intencional, agotamiento, bajo nivel de actividad física, marcha lenta y debilidad. Los principales análisis se basaron en la regresión logística multinomial estratificada por sexo. La prevalencia de fragilidad fue menor en los hombres (8,6%; IC95%: 6,9; 10,7) que en las mujeres (11,9%; IC95%: 9,6; 14,8), y como ítem más frecuente el bajo nivel de actividad física en ambos. La edad y el nivel educativo fueron los factores sociodemográficos asociados a la pre-fragilidad y la fragilidad entre hombres y mujeres. Hubo una diferencia en fracción atribuible a la población para la fragilidad entre los sexos. Entre los hombres, la fracción atribuible a la población más elevada fue no tener pareja (23,5%; IC95%: 7,7; 39,2) y bajo nivel educativo (18,2%; IC95%: 6,6; 29,7). Entre las mujeres, las fracción atribuible a la población más elevadas fueron déficit de memoria (17,1%; IC95%: 7,6; 26,6), déficit de visión (13,4%; IC95%: 5,1; 21,7) y diabetes mellitus (11,4%; IC95%: 4,6; 18,1). Se observaron fracción atribuible a la población similares para enfermedades cardíacas (8,9%; IC95%: 3,8; 14,1 en mujeres, y 8,8%; IC95%: 2,0; 15,6 en hombres). Las estrategias dirigidas a la actividad física tienen el potencial de prevenir la fragilidad en ambos sexos, mientras que la prevención de enfermedades crónicas es más necesaria en las mujeres.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the course of basic activities of daily living (ADL) from admission up to six months after the stroke and the longitudinal associations between stroke-related neurological deficits at admission to the stroke unit and course of basic ADL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 180 individuals with a first-ever stroke were assessed at admission to the stroke unit and at follow-ups of three and six months. Stroke-related neurological deficits were assessed at admission with the National Institutes of Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Independence in basic ADL was assessed at admission and three and six months after the stroke by the Modified Barthel Index (MBI). Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) were performed. RESULTS: Dependence in basic ADL reduced overtime, with most changes occurring over the first three months. Individuals, who had moderate/severe stroke-related neurological deficits (NIHSS ≥6) at admission, had higher chances of becoming more dependent in activities related to feeding (OR:1.27;95%CI = 1.03-1.55;p = 0.021), bathing (OR:1.30;95%CI = 1.11-1.50;p = 0.0005), dressing (OR:1.19;95%CI = 1.04-1.36;p = 0.010), transfers (OR:1.24;95%CI = 1.05-1.46;p = 0.0072), stair climbing (OR:1.46;95%CI = 1.27-1.66;p < 0.0001), and ambulation (OR:1.21;95%CI = 1.02-1.43;p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Decreases in dependence in basic ADL occurred mainly over three months after the stroke and showed different patterns for specific ADL. Baseline moderate/severe stroke-related neurological deficits were associated with poor functional status in basic ADL over the follow-up period.


Stroke survivors experience dependence in basic activities of daily living (ADL) which is reduced over six months after the stroke and showed different individual variability in patterns of recovery.Patients with moderate/severe stroke-related neurological deficits had higher chances of becoming dependent in activities related to feeding, bathing, dressing, transfers, stair climbing, and ambulation.Rehabilitation professionals should consider assessing stroke-related neurologic deficits within the first hours after stroke, with particular attention to individuals with moderate/severe impairments.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate if independent walking at 3 and 6 months poststroke can be accurately predicted within the first 72 hours, based on simple clinical bedside tests. DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort study with 3-time measurements: immediately after stroke, and 3 and 6 months poststroke. SETTING: Public hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Adults with first-ever stroke evaluated at 3 (N=263) and 6 (N=212) months poststroke. INTERVENTION: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The outcome of interest was independent walking at 3 and 6 months after stroke. Predictors were age, walking ability, lower limb strength, motor recovery, spatial neglect, continence, and independence in activities of daily living. RESULTS: The equation for predicting walking 3 months poststroke was 3.040 + (0.283 × FAC baseline) + (0.021 × Modified Barthel Index), and for predicting walking 6 months poststroke was 3.644 + (-0.014 × age) + (0.014 × Modified Barthel Index). For walking ability 3 months after stroke, sensitivity was classified as high (91%; 95% CI: 81-96), specificity was moderate (57%; 95% CI: 45-69), positive predictive value was high (76%; 95% CI: 64-86), and negative predictive value was high (80%; 95% CI: 60-93). For walking ability 6 months after stroke, sensitivity was classified as moderate (54%; 95% CI: 47-61), specificity was high (81%; 95% CI: 61-92), positive predictive value was high (87%; 95% CI: 70-96), and negative predictive value was low (42%; 95% CI: 50-73). CONCLUSIONS: This study provided 2 simple equations that predict walking ability 3 and 6 months after stroke. This represents an important step to accurately identify individuals, who are at high risk of walking dependence early after stroke.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of aquatic exercise programs (AEP) in body structure and function, activity, and participation outcomes in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) with mild to moderate disability levels. METHODS: Six databases were searched from inception until November 2022. Randomized clinical trials that used AEP alone, AEP combined and/or compared two types of AEP were included. The quality of evidence was assessed by the GRADE approach and the standardized mean differences (SMD) were calculated the meta-analysis. RESULTS: Twelve studies (n = 380) were included. AEP alone was superior to active control in improving body structure and function outcome: postural balance (low evidence, SMD = 0.47, p = 0.02). No statistically significant differences were found for the other body structure and function outcomes: lower limb muscle strength (p = 0.14) and depressive symptoms (p = 0.79), activity outcomes: mobility (p = 0.32) and participation outcomes: quality of life (p = 0.05). AEP combined showed no statistically significant difference for the outcomes of body structure and function: postural balance (p = 0.11) and activity: mobility (p = 0.21) when compared to active control. CONCLUSION: AEP showed positive effects on body structure and function outcome (postural balance) in individuals with PD with mild to moderate disability levels while, no significant improvements were noticed for activity and participation outcomes.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONOur findings indicate that aquatic exercise programs (AEP) lead to significant improvements on body structure and function (i.e., postural balance) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).The AEP evaluated in this study implemented postural balance, gait, single and double training, as well as aerobic exercises, trunk mobility exercises, and Ai Chi.The average duration, frequency, and total time implemented were 50 minutes, three times a week, for seven weeks, respectively.Considering the potential benefits identified in this study, AEP can be recommended as an adjunct treatment strategy for individuals with PD.Additionally, the use of the International Classification of Functionality, Disability and Health on the development of rehabilitation treatment plans is advised.

Resumo Considerando a instituição da Rede de Atenção à Pessoa com Deficiência (RCPD) no Brasil, o estudo analisa a distribuição espacial e a tendência temporal da implantação de serviços especializados que receberam apoio financeiro nos primeiros oito anos dessa política. Realizamos um estudo ecológico com base nos dados do Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde no período de abril/2012 a março/2020. Uma regressão joinpoint foi usada para análise de tendência temporal e mapas temáticos foram produzidos para análise espacial de modalidades de reabilitação e tipos de serviços. Os serviços mais disponíveis foram reabilitação física e intelectual. As regiões Sudeste e Nordeste apresentaram maior concentração de serviços especializados. Apesar do menor número de serviços, houve crescimento médio anual entre 9,6% e 41,3%. Esse achado indica aumento de serviços especializados para pessoas com deficiência no período analisado, mas ainda se verificam lacunas assistenciais nas macrorregiões do Brasil.

ABSTRACT

Throughout the three editions of the Brazilian National Primary Health Care Policy (PNAB), changes were made in relation to the structure of the Family Health Strategy (FHS), with emphasis on modifications concerning the priority nature of the FHS as an organization and care strategy in primary health care. The objective was to analyze temporal trends in indicators related to the FHS from the perspective of the three PNAB editions: 2006, 2011, and 2017. This is a descriptive study of the temporal trend of indicators selected from a logical model constructed by components related to the FHS in the three editions of the PNAB. The logical model was developed based on the components Territory/Enrollment, Teams, Work Process, Territory Planning and Management, and Care for Priority Groups by Family Health Teams, each one being represented by selected indicators. The construction of the national and regional time series between 2007 and 2020 was carried out using the Joinpoint software. Most of the indicators showed an upward trend in the first time segments identified by the models, followed by segments of stability or decrease, especially after the year 2017. The indicator Number of community health workers stands out, which decreased after 2017 in most geographical regions and in Brazil. The 2017 PNAB may have discouraged the continuation and expansion of the FHS as the priority model of primary health care, by allowing and financing new teamwork arrangements and processes.


Ao longo das três versões da Política Nacional de Atenção Básica (PNAB) alterações foram realizadas em relação à estruturação da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), com destaque para modificações em relação ao caráter prioritário da ESF como estratégia de organização e de cuidado na atenção básica. O objetivo foi analisar tendências temporais de indicadores referentes à ESF sob o olhar das três versões da PNAB 2006, 2011 e 2017. Estudo descritivo de tendência temporal de indicadores selecionados a partir de modelo lógico construído por componentes referentes à ESF nas três versões da PNAB. O modelo lógico foi elaborado baseado nos componentes Território/Adscrição, Equipes, Processo de Trabalho, Planejamento e Gestão do Território, e Cuidados à Grupos Prioritários pelas Equipes de Saúde da Família, sendo cada um representado por indicadores selecionados. A construção das séries temporais entre 2007 e 2020, nacional e regionais, foi realizada utilizando o software Joinpoint. A maioria dos indicadores apresentou tendência de crescimento nos primeiros segmentos temporais identificados pelos modelos, seguidos por seguimentos de estabilidade ou queda, principalmente após o ano de 2017. Destaca-se o indicador Número de Agentes Comunitários de Saúde que apresentou queda após 2017 na maioria das regiões geográficas e no Brasil. A PNAB 2017 pode ter proporcionado um desestimulo à continuidade e ampliação da ESF como modelo prioritário da atenção básica, ao permitir e financiar novos arranjos e processos de trabalhos de equipes.

Estudio descriptivo de la tendencia temporal de los indicadores seleccionados a partir del modelo lógico construido por componentes referentes a la ESF en las tres versiones de la PNAB. El modelo lógico fue elaborado basado en los componentes Territorio/Adscripción, Equipos, Proceso de Trabajo, Planificación y Gestión del Territorio y Atención a Grupos Prioritarios por Equipos de Salud de la Familia, siendo cada uno representado por indicadores seleccionados. La construcción de las series temporales entre 2007 y 2020, nacional y regional, se realizó utilizando el software Joinpoint. La mayoría de los indicadores presentaron una tendencia de crecimiento en los primeros segmentos temporales identificados por los modelos, seguidos por segmentos de estabilidad o la caída, principalmente después del año 2017. Se destaca el indicador Número de Agentes Comunitarios de Salud que presentó una caída después de 2017 en la mayoría de las regiones geográficas y en Brasil. La PNAB 2017 puede haber proporcionado un desaliento a la continuidad y ampliación de la ESF como modelo prioritario de la atención básica, al permitir y financiar nuevos arreglos y procesos de trabajo de los equipos.

ABSTRACT

AIMS: To compare the effects of bladder training (BT) versus BT with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in women with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. METHODS: Randomized controlled clinical trial including women with OAB symptoms, randomized into two groups: BT versus BT + PFMT. For 12 consecutive weeks, the women received home BT. The BT + PFMT performed supervised PFMT, once/week, associated at home PFMT protocol. Primary outcomes were urinary urgency, daytime voiding frequency, nocturia and urgency urinary incontinence assisted by both 3-day bladder diary and International Consultation on Incontinence OAB (ICIQ-OAB) questionnaire. Secondary outcomes were 24-h pad test and Patient Global Impression of Improvement. T-test, analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney (SPSS 20.0) and power/effect size (G-power) were applied in data analyses. RESULTS: Sixty-three women were included (B = 31; BT + PFMT = 32). There was no significant statistical difference between groups in terms of urinary symptoms: daytime frequency (BT: pre: 11.59 [±5.80], post: 9.10 [±4.05]; BT + PFMT: pre: 10.67 [±3.73], post: 8.08 [±3.38]) p = 0.75; nocturia: (BT: pre: 1.46 [±0.91], post: 0.82 [±0.82]; BT + PFMT: pre: 1.80 [±2.26], post: 0.82 [±1.15]) p = 0.70; urinary urgency (BT: pre: 3.22 [±4.70], post: 4.49 [±4.32]; BT + PFMT: pre: 6.87 [±5.60], post: 6.15 [±4.52]) p = 0.10; ICIQ-OAB total score: (BT: pre: 9.16 [±2.55], post: 6.32 [±3.77]; (BT + PFMT: pre: 9.75 [±2.06], post: 5.06 [±3.44] p = 0.30. CONCLUSIONS: Supervised PFMT added to BT did not provide further improvements than isolated BT in women with OAB symptoms.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the internal consistency, reliability and measurement error of assessment measures for body structure and function (postural balance, muscle strength, cardiorespiratory function and physical fitness), activity (walking and mobility) and participation (quality of life and social reintegration) outcomes for use on pre-frail and frail older adults. METHODS: Searches were performed in six databases (Medline, Embase, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library and Lilacs) and reproducibility studies were included. Cronbach's alpha and the classification proposed by Terwee et al. (2007) were used for the interpretation of internal consistency. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Munro classification were used for the determination of reliability. The standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change (MDC) as well as percentages of error (SEM%) and change (MDC%) were calculated. Methodological quality of the studies was appraised using Boxes 4, 6 and 7 of the COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist. RESULTS: Six studies were included in the present systematic review, with a total of 835 (82.4 years; 582 women and 253 men) pre-frail and frail older adults analyzed. Seven measures were identified for the assessment of body structure and function, activity and participation outcomes (Hierarchical Assessment of Balance and Mobility, Self-Assessment of Physical Fitness, Sarcopenia Quality of Life, Reintegration to Normal Living Index, Two-Minute Walking test, Six-Minute Walking test and Ten-Meter Walking test). The following measurement properties were identified: internal consistency = 0.84 (mean Cronbach's alpha); reliability = 0.87 (mean ICC); SEM range = 0.06 to 10.10; MDC range = 0.13 to 28.10; SEM% range = 5.2 % to 9.5 %; and MDC% range = 10.7 % to 28.5 %. CONCLUSION: The present systematic review found adequate internal consistency, high reliability and an acceptable measurement error for assessment measures of body structure and function, activity and participation outcomes for use on pre-frail and frail older adults.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Short Form Brief Pain Inventory (SF-BPI) for community-dwelling Brazilian older adults with chronic neuropathic, nociceptive and nociplastic pain. METHODS: Cross-sectional psychometric testing was conducted in a convenience sample, n=114 (66.5 ± 4.9 years). RESULTS: The 2-factor structure of the SF-BPI was ratified by confirmatory factor analysis. Convergent validity was found between the SF-BPI and the Present Pain Intensity (PPI). There was good overall internal consistency (Cronbach's α: 0.87). Test-retest reliability was excellent for pain intensity and interference scores of the SF-BPI (ICC: 0.90 and 0.96, respectively), as well as inter-rater reliability for both dimensions (ICC: 0.77). CONCLUSION: The findings support the validity and reliability of the SF-BPI for community-dwelling older adults with chronic pain and may contribute to health professionals having a brief multidimensional assessment for more effective therapeutic approaches in this population.

ABSTRACT

The Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPCD) was implemented in 2012 as a consequence of the actions of the Viver sem Limite (Living without Limits) plan and has been the research object of recent studies. However, no published studies address the degree of implementation of this network. This study aimed to evaluate the degree of implementation of the RCPCD in eight states in the five regions of Brazil. This multiple case study performed evaluative research of the degree of implementation of the RCPCD in the states of Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo. A logical model of the policy and a measurement matrix were developed. The degree of implementation of seven states was moderate, but Amazonas had an incipient degree of implementation. The evaluation of each stage of the process showed important differences, as the regional diagnosis and network adhesion stages presented moderate to advanced degrees of implementation in most states. In the service contracting stage, no state had an advanced degree of implementation, and the stage of follow-up and monitoring of the RCPCD was not even reached. The measurement matrix helps evaluate the degree of implementation of the RCPCD, and, by recognizing its results, the state steering groups and technical area recommend its use. Actions to improve this implementation, such as strengthening regionalization, establishing regional steering groups, ensuring contracting mechanisms, and defining criteria for certification of the care points, are necessary.

Para tanto, desenvolveu-se um modelo lógico da política e uma matriz de medidas. O grau de implantação de sete estados foi classificado como moderado, somente o Amazonas obteve grau de implantação incipiente. Foram identificadas diferenças importantes na avaliação de cada fase desse processo, as fases de diagnóstico regional e adesão à rede obtiveram grau de implantação de moderado a avançado na maioria dos estados. Na fase da contratualização dos serviços, nenhum estado alcançou o grau avançado de implantação e a fase de acompanhamento e monitoramento da RCPCD basicamente não ocorreu em todos os estados. A matriz de medidas permite avaliar o grau de implantação da RCPCD. Ainda, o reconhecimento dos resultados do grau de implantação pelos grupos condutores e áreas técnicas estaduais referendou o uso desse instrumento. Salienta-se a necessidade de ações para o aprimoramento dessa implantação, tais como: fortalecer a regionalização, instituir grupos condutores regionais, garantir mecanismos de contratualização e definir critérios para certificação dos pontos de atenção.

ABSTRACT

METHODS: This is a longitudinal observational study with a convenience subsample from the international Back Complaints in the Elders (BACE)-Brazil. Frailty was assessed by researchers at baseline, 6 and 12 months according to the Frailty Phenotype. Pain was assessed using a Numerical Pain Scale (NPS). Disability was assessed using the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 155 older women (70.4 ± 5.4 years) participated. Follow-up for 6 and 12 months in this study was associated with a change of older women to worse frailty levels (OR = 2.83, 95% CI 1.98-4.67; p < 0.01). A significant association was observed between greater pain intensity and the transition of the older women through the frailty levels (ß = - 0.73; p < 0.01) when inserting the pain variable at baseline of the statistical model. Older women who reported greater pain intensity worsened their frailty level. The same happened when the disability variable was inserted in the model (ß = - 0.74; p < 0.01). The criteria proposed by Fried et al. were able to identify frailty throughout the follow-up and no prevalence of any item. CONCLUSIONS: In older women, relevant factors such as pain and disability are closely linked to the frailty phenomenon. Thus, the frailty syndrome must be assessed, monitored and treated in relation to the individualities of older adults, as those with back pain and greater disabilities are more susceptible to frailty.

ABSTRACT

Ao longo das três versões da Política Nacional de Atenção Básica (PNAB) alterações foram realizadas em relação à estruturação da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), com destaque para modificações em relação ao caráter prioritário da ESF como estratégia de organização e de cuidado na atenção básica. O objetivo foi analisar tendências temporais de indicadores referentes à ESF sob o olhar das três versões da PNAB 2006, 2011 e 2017. Estudo descritivo de tendência temporal de indicadores selecionados a partir de modelo lógico construído por componentes referentes à ESF nas três versões da PNAB. O modelo lógico foi elaborado baseado nos componentes Território/Adscrição, Equipes, Processo de Trabalho, Planejamento e Gestão do Território, e Cuidados à Grupos Prioritários pelas Equipes de Saúde da Família, sendo cada um representado por indicadores selecionados. A construção das séries temporais entre 2007 e 2020, nacional e regionais, foi realizada utilizando o software Joinpoint. A maioria dos indicadores apresentou tendência de crescimento nos primeiros segmentos temporais identificados pelos modelos, seguidos por seguimentos de estabilidade ou queda, principalmente após o ano de 2017. Destaca-se o indicador Número de Agentes Comunitários de Saúde que apresentou queda após 2017 na maioria das regiões geográficas e no Brasil. A PNAB 2017 pode ter proporcionado um desestimulo à continuidade e ampliação da ESF como modelo prioritário da atenção básica, ao permitir e financiar novos arranjos e processos de trabalhos de equipes.


A lo largo de las tres versiones de la Política Nacional de Atención Básica (PNAB) alteraciones fueron realizadas en relación con la estructuración de la Estrategia Salud de la Familia (ESF), con destaque para modificaciones en relación con el carácter prioritario de la ESF como estrategia de organización y de cuidado en la atención básica. El objetivo fue analizar tendencias temporales de los indicadores referentes a la ESF desde la perspectiva de las tres versiones de la PNAB, 2006, 2011 y 2017. Estudio descriptivo de la tendencia temporal de los indicadores seleccionados a partir del modelo lógico construido por componentes referentes a la ESF en las tres versiones de la PNAB. El modelo lógico fue elaborado basado en los componentes Territorio/Adscripción, Equipos, Proceso de Trabajo, Planificación y Gestión del Territorio y Atención a Grupos Prioritarios por Equipos de Salud de la Familia, siendo cada uno representado por indicadores seleccionados. La construcción de las series temporales entre 2007 y 2020, nacional y regional, se realizó utilizando el software Joinpoint. La mayoría de los indicadores presentaron una tendencia de crecimiento en los primeros segmentos temporales identificados por los modelos, seguidos por segmentos de estabilidad o la caída, principalmente después del año 2017. Se destaca el indicador Número de Agentes Comunitarios de Salud que presentó una caída después de 2017 en la mayoría de las regiones geográficas y en Brasil. La PNAB 2017 puede haber proporcionado un desaliento a la continuidad y ampliación de la ESF como modelo prioritario de la atención básica, al permitir y financiar nuevos arreglos y procesos de trabajo de los equipos.


Throughout the three editions of the Brazilian National Primary Health Care Policy (PNAB), changes were made in relation to the structure of the Family Health Strategy (FHS), with emphasis on modifications concerning the priority nature of the FHS as an organization and care strategy in primary health care. The objective was to analyze temporal trends in indicators related to the FHS from the perspective of the three PNAB editions: 2006, 2011, and 2017. This is a descriptive study of the temporal trend of indicators selected from a logical model constructed by components related to the FHS in the three editions of the PNAB. The logical model was developed based on the components Territory/Enrollment, Teams, Work Process, Territory Planning and Management, and Care for Priority Groups by Family Health Teams, each one being represented by selected indicators. The construction of the national and regional time series between 2007 and 2020 was carried out using the Joinpoint software. Most of the indicators showed an upward trend in the first time segments identified by the models, followed by segments of stability or decrease, especially after the year 2017. The indicator Number of community health workers stands out, which decreased after 2017 in most geographical regions and in Brazil. The 2017 PNAB may have discouraged the continuation and expansion of the FHS as the priority model of primary health care, by allowing and financing new teamwork arrangements and processes.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo Verificar a prevalência e fatores associados ao uso de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados (MPI) pela população idosa e a concordância entre duas metodologias de avaliação no contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Método Estudo observacional transversal. Foi estimada a prevalência de pessoas idosas que utilizam MPI e fatores associados. Inicialmente foi calculada a frequência de medicamentos, entre os utilizados, considerados MPI. A classificação como MPI foi pelos Critérios de Beers 2019 e Consenso Brasileiro de Medicamentos Potencialmente Inapropriados para idosos (CBMPI) 2016. Também avaliou-se a concordância entre as duas classificações. Foram construídos modelos de regressão logística multivariada para avaliação da associação pelo Odds Ratio (OR), e calculado Kappa para concordância entre os dois critérios de classificações. Resultados A prevalência de pessoas idosas que usavam MPI foi 32,9% pelos Critérios de Beers e 27,6% pelo CBMPI. Associações estatisticamente significativas (p<0,001) ao uso de medicamentos inapropriados, pelos Critérios de Beers foram: relato de diabetes (OR=1,96), depressão (OR=2,25) e polifarmácia (OR=4,11). Pessoas idosas satisfeitas com a própria saúde tiveram menor chance de usarem MP, em ambas classificações, Critérios Beers (OR=0,02) e CBMPI (OR=0,09). A concordância entre as classificações foi muito boa (k=0,75, p<0,001). Conclusão Foram associados ao uso de MPI relato de diabetes e depressão, polifarmácia e satisfação negativa com a saúde. As associações foram semelhantes entre as duas classificações, indicando que ambas são pertinentes na identificação do uso de MPI em pessoas idosas usuárias da APS.


Abstract Objective To verify the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) in use and possible associated factors in older adults and the agreement between two assessment tool in Primary Health Care (PHC) contex Methods Cross-sectional study. The prevalence of older adults in use of PIM and associated factors were estimated. First of all was calculated the frequency of drugs, among those used, considered PIM. Classification as PIM was based on the 2019 Beers Criteria and the 2016 Brazilian Consensus on Potentially Inappropriate Medications 2016 (BCPIM) for the older adults. The agreement between the two classifications was also evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression models were estimated. Association was evaluated by Odds Ratio (OR). Kappa was calculated for agreement between both classifications. Results The prevalence of older adults using MPI was 32.9%, according to Beers Criteria and 27.6% according to the BCPIM. The reports of diabetes (OR=1.96), depression (OR=2.25) and polypharmacy (OR=4.11) were associated (p<0.001) with the use of inappropriate medication, according to the Beers Criteria. Older adults who were very satisfied with their own health were less likely to use inappropriate medication both according to the Beers Criteria (OR=0.02) and the BCPIM (OR=0.09). Agreement between classifications was considered good (k=0.75, p<0.001). Conclusion Reports of diabetes and depression, polypharmacy and negative self-rated health and satisfaction were associated with PIM's use. The associations were similar between the two classifications, indicating that both are relevant in identifying PIM use in older adults in the context of PHC.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Descrever e comparar ações de atenção e reabilitação na Atenção Primaria à Saúde (APS) direcionados à Pessoa com Deficiência (PCD) no Brasil. Métodos: Dados do Programa de Avaliação da Qualidade na Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB). Foi realizada uma análise com base no Módulo IV do 2º (2015) e do 3º (2018) Ciclo do PMAQ-AB. Foram realizadas comparações da avaliação positiva ("sim") dos cuidados prestados à PCD na APS, através do cálculo a Razão de Prevalência (RP), admitindo o 2º Ciclo como categoria de referência e considerando dados nacionais e das cinco regiões geográficas. Resultados: A prevalência de repostas afirmativas para atenção à PCD aumentou no 3º ciclo no cenário nacional em relação ao apoio em ações direcionadas à PCD, avaliação e adaptação no domicílio e promoção da inserção da PCD em atividades de esporte e lazer. A prevalência de ações de reabilitação na APS no Brasil também aumentou. O cenário das mudanças no cuidado à PCD foi diferente entre as regiões brasileiras. A região Nordeste foi a que mais aumentou o percentual de ações de atenção à PCD, seguindo o padrão nacional, e ainda incluindo aumento no encaminhamento para uso de próteses/órteses e dispositivos de auxílio. Conclusão: Para a maioria das atividades avaliadas, houve aumento da prevalência de sua realização entre as avaliações do 2º e 3º ciclos do PMAQ-AB, entretanto há necessidade ainda de ampliar a oferta e o serviço de algumas atividades na maioria das regiões do país, favorecendo o cuidado integral à PCD.


Objective: Describe and compare actions of attention and rehabilitation in Primary Health Care (PHC) addressed to Persons with Disabilities (PWD) in Brazil. Methods: Retrospective data from Quality Assessment Program in Primary Care (PMAQ-AB, in Portuguese) were collected and analyzed considering Module IV of the 2nd (2015) and 3rd (2018) Cycles of the PMAQ-AB. Comparisons of the positive answers (yes) of the attention provided to PWD in the PHC were conducted by establishing the Prevalence Ratio (PR). The 2nd Cycle was the reference category, and the data were analyzed as national or regional samples. Results: The prevalence of positive answers for PWD care increased in the 3rd Cycle in the national sample concerning support in activities addressed to PWD, assessment and home adaptations, and promotion of the inclusion of PWD in sports and leisure activities. The prevalence of rehabilitation actions in PHC in Brazil has also increased. Changes in PWD care were found in the different geographical regions of Brazil. The Northeast region had the highest increase in attention activities for PWD, following the national trend, including an increase in referral for prostheses/orthotics and assistive devices. Conclusion: For most of the activities evaluated, there was an increase in performance prevalence between the assessments of the 2nd and 3rd Cycles of the PMAQ-AB. However, there is still a need to expand the offer of services in most regions of the country, favoring integral care for PWD

ABSTRACT

Resumo Introdução A queda no desempenho funcional de idosos pode relacionar-se a desfechos adversos pelos quais eles passam, entre os quais a hospitalização. Testes de desempenho, realizados na Atenção Primária à Saúde, podem ajudar a identificar idosos com maiores chances de hospitalização e que demandam maior atenção da equipe de saúde. Objetivo Identificar se o pior desempenho de idosos em testes funcionais pode estar associado a hospitalizações entre idosos. Método Estudo transversal observacional com amostra de 473 idosos comunitários adscritos à Estratégia de Saúde da Família. O desempenho funcional foi avaliado pelos quesitos equilíbrio estático, mobilidade funcional, marcha, força muscular, equilíbrio dinâmico, força de membros inferiores, e pela avaliação do risco de quedas. Dados sobre hospitalização dos participantes foram obtidos pelo Sistema de Informações Hospitalares Descentralizado (SIHD2/SUS). A análise da associação entre desempenho funcional e hospitalização foi realizada por modelos de Regressão Logística. Resultados No estudo, 32,1% dos idosos participantes foram hospitalizados pelo menos uma vez. A ocorrência de hospitalização foi associada com equilíbrio, desempenho na marcha, mobilidade funcional e risco de quedas. Conclusão Através dos testes funcionais, foi possível observar que o pior desempenho está associado às hospitalizações e a identificação destes fatores permite criar intervenções e estratégias capazes de evitar hospitalizações e seus efeitos adversos.


ABSTRACT Background The decline in the functional performance of the elderly may be related to adverse outcomes, including hospitalization. Performance tests, carried out in Primary Health Care, can help to identify older people who are more likely to be hospitalized and who require more attention from the health team. Objective To identify if the worse performance of the elderly in functional tests may be associated with hospitalizations. Method A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 473 community-dwelling elderly enrolled by Family Health Strategy.. Functional performance was evaluated according to the following criteria: static balance, functional mobility, gait, muscle strength, dynamic balance, lower limb strength, and by assessing the risk of falls. Data on hospitalization of participants were obtained from the Decentralized Hospital Information System (SIHD2 / SUS). The analysis of association between functional performance and hospitalization was performed by Logistic Regression models. Results In the study, 32.1% of the elderly participants were hospitalized at least once. Hospitalization was associated with balance, gait performance, functional mobility, and risk of falls. Conclusion Through functional tests it was possible to observe that the worst performance is associated with hospitalizations and the identification of these factors allows the creation of interventions and strategies capable of avoiding hospitalizations and their adverse effect.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim was to investigate the longitudinal association between physical frailty and change in the profile of limitation to perform basic and instrumental activities of daily living (BADL and IADL) and mortality in a 10-year period in Brazilian community-dwelling older people. A longitudinal study was conducted with data from the Frailty in Brazilian Older People (FIBRA) study, 2009-2019. Physical frailty was categorized into vulnerability (pre-frail and frail) and robustness (non-frail). The generalized estimating equation and the Cox proportional hazards models were used in the data analysis. Out of 200 older people evaluated in 2009 (moment 1), 139 were located in 2019 (moment 2). Of these, 102 were interviewed and 37 deaths were recorded. The chance of vulnerable older people at moment 1 being dependent on performing BADL at moment 2 was 4.19-fold the chance of robust older people. For IADL, the chance of vulnerable older people at moment 1 being dependent at moment 2 was 3.12-fold the chance of robust older people. Cox's analysis showed that the risk of death among vulnerable older people was 2.50-fold that among robust older people. The results reinforce the importance of monitoring and early intervention to prevent frailty, and the limitation to performing activities of daily living and death among Brazilian older people.


Resumo O objetivo foi investigar a associação longitudinal entre fragilidade física e mudança no perfil de limitação para realizar as atividades básicas e instrumentais de vida diária (ABVD e AIVD) e mortalidade em 10 anos em idosos comunitários brasileiros. Um estudo longitudinal foi conduzido com dados do Estudo da Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros (FIBRA), 2009-2019. A fragilidade física foi categorizada em vulnerabilidade (pré-frágil e frágil) e robustez (não frágil). Modelos de equação de estimação generalizada e de riscos proporcionais de Cox foram usados na análise dos dados. Dos 200 idosos avaliados em 2009 (momento 1), 139 foram localizados em 2019 (momento 2). Destes, 102 foram entrevistados e 37 óbitos foram registrados. A chance dos idosos vulneráveis no momento 1 serem dependentes nas ABVD no momento 2 foi de 4,19 vezes a chance dos idosos robustos. Para as AIVD, a chance dos idosos vulneráveis no momento 1 serem dependentes no momento 2 foi de 3,12 vezes a chance dos idosos robustos. A análise de Cox mostrou que o risco de morte entre os idosos vulneráveis foi 2,50 vezes o risco dos idosos robustos. Os resultados reforçam a importância do acompanhamento e intervenção precoce para prevenir a fragilidade, e a limitação para realização das atividades de vida diária e morte em idosos brasileiros.
