RESUMO
Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 na produção ambulatorial de pediatras e odontopediatras no Sistema Único de Saúde do Brasil (SUS). Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo ecológico com abordagem analítica e quantitativa, usando dados de domínio público do Departamento de Informática do SUS. Foram recuperadas as quantidades mensais de profissionais que atuaram no SUS, a quantidade de procedimentos ambulatoriais de cada categoria profissional e a projeção de residentes de zero a 13 anos para normalizá-la. Os dados foram comparados entre os períodos pré-pandemia (2018-2020) e pandêmicos (2020-2022), com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Houve uma redução significativa na quantidade mensal de procedimentos ambulatoriais realizados no SUS pelos pediatras no primeiro e no segundo ano pandêmico de COVID-19 quando comparados ao período pré-pandemia (p < 0,001 e < 0,002, respectivamente). Tal redução representa uma redução mediana percentual de -57,1% (IC95% -51,3%; -71,7%) no primeiro e -22,3% (IC95% -0,55%; -31,5%) no segundo ano pandêmico. Em relação aos odontopediatras, redução significativa foi observada somente entre o período pré-pandemia e o primeiro ano pandêmico (p < 0,001), representando -82.0% (IC95% -73,4%; -93,6%). Além disso, observou-se uma correlação significativa, positiva e moderada entre a produtividade de ambas as categorias profissionais no SUS durante todo o período investigado (p < 0,001; ρ = 0,744). Conclusão: A pandemia de COVID-19 afetou negativamente a oferta de cuidado ambulatorial médico-odontológico especializado para crianças no SUS
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the outpatient production of pediatricians and pediatric dentists in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). Methods: An ecological study was conducted with an analytical and quantitative approach using public domain data from the SUS Department of Informatics. The monthly number of professionals who worked in the SUS, the number of outpatient procedures in each category, and the projection of residents from zero to thirteen years old to normalize it were retrieved. Data were compared by pre-pandemic (2018-2020) and pandemic (2020-2022) periods with a significance level of 5%. Results: There was a significant reduction in the monthly number of outpatient procedures performed in the SUS by pediatricians in the first and second pandemic years of COVID-19 compared to the pre-pandemic period (p < 0.001 and 0.002, respectively). This reduction represents a median percentage reduction of -57.1% (95%CI -51.3%, -71.7%) in the first and -22.3% (95%CI -0.55%, -31.5%) in the second pandemic year. Regarding pediatric dentists, a significant reduction was observed only between the pre-pandemic period and the first pandemic year (p < 0.001), representing -82.0% (95%CI -73.4%, -93.6%). Moreover, a significant positive and moderate correlation was observed between the productivity of both professional categories in the SUS throughout the investigated period (p < 0.001, ρ= 0.744). Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the provision of specialized medical and dental outpatient care for children in the SUS
