RESUMO
O provimento de medicamentos por meio de ordens judiciais tem levado a amplas discussões em virtude de sua magnitude e de seu grande impacto na gestão dos recursos públicos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar as demandas judiciais para a obtenção de medicamentos e comparar os quartis socioeconômicos na judicialização de medicamentos. Foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal retrospectivo das demandas judiciais por medicamentos ajuizadas por usuários de Porto Alegre contra a Secretaria Estadual de Saúde do Rio Grande do Sul no período de março de 2017 a fevereiro de 2018 e deferidas a favor dos requerentes. Dos processos analisados, 77,5% foram ajuizados pela Defensoria Pública Estadual, porém cerca de 60% foram provenientes de usuários com melhores condições socioeconômicas e mais acesso a informações sobre seus direitos, residindo em áreas com melhores Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal. Além disso, 72,1% dos usuários possuíam prescrições médicas originadas em serviço privado e misto; e 72,3% dos medicamentos solicitados foram considerados como "fora de lista". Os dados revelaram que a judicialização pode contrariar o princípio da equidade previsto nas políticas públicas de saúde relacionadas à assistência farmacêutica. A criação de uma Comissão de Farmácia e Terapêutica Estadual e o emprego da avaliação de tecnologias em saúde podem subsidiar as decisões judiciais e auxiliar na elaboração de pareceres técnicos e protocolos clínicos.
ABSTRACT
The provision of medicines through court orders has led to wide discussions due to its magnitude and its great impact on the management of public resources. The objective of this study was to characterize the judicial demands for obtaining medicines and to compare the socioeconomic quartiles in the judicialization of medicines. A retrospective cross-sectional observational study of judicial demands for medications filed by users in Porto Alegre against the State Health Secretariat of Rio Grande do Sul from March 2017 to February 2018 and granted in favor of the claimants was carried out. Of the cases analyzed, 77.5% were filed by the State Public Defender's Office, but around 60% were from users with better socioeconomic conditions and more access to information about their rights, residing in areas with better Municipal Human Development Indexes. In addition, 72.1% of the users had medical prescriptions originated from private and mixed services; and 72.3% of the requested medications were considered as "off the list". The data revealed that judicialization may contradict the principle of equity foreseen in public health policies related to pharmaceutical care. The creation of a State Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee and the use of health technology assessment could subsidize court decisions and assist in the elaboration of technical opinions and clinical protocols.
