RESUMEN
Establecer una aproximación a las variables individuales y grupales que determinan el adecuado abordaje del diabético desde los servicios que brindan las áreas de salud de la Caja Costarricense del Seguro Social.

Métodos:

El diseño del estudio es de tipo no experimental, transversal y se usó un modelo de regresión logística multinivel para el análisis. Los datos se obtuvieron de la muestra recopilada por la Dirección de Compra de Servicios de Salud de enero a diciembre del 2004, de personas diabéticas atendidas en las diferentes áreas de salud de la CCSS. Se utilizó información de dos niveles de análisis; nivel 1 (diabético) y nivel 2 (áreas de salud) y como variable dependiente el resultado de la prueba de hemoglobina glicosilada.

Resultados:

El 49,9 por ciento de la muestra son pacientes controlados, la mediana de la edad es superior a los 60 años, un 66 por ciento de la muestra son mujeres y el 76.6 por ciento de los pacientes presentaron índice de masa corporal entre sobrepeso y obesidad. En promedio las áreas de salud en estudio, tienen 7 años de haber iniciado la reforma, su nota media en los compromisos de gestión en los últimos cinco años es de 87 por ciento, la población media adscrita es de aproximadamente 40 mil habitantes y un 22 por ciento de su población tiene hasta educación secundaria. Los resultados de la regresión logística multinivel, revelan que a medida que aumenta la edad del diabético aumenta la probabilidad de estar controlado y que las mujeres diabéticas tienen menor probabilidad de estar controladas que los hombres, los diabéticos pertenecientes a las áreas de salud que iniciaron tempranamente la reforma y los que presentan mejores resultados en los compomisos de gestión, presentan mayor probabilidad de estar controlados, aunque este último hallazgo no es significativamente estadístico, después de controlar por las demás variables del modelo.

Discusión:

Aproximadamente entre 6 por ciento y 10 por ciento de la varianza en...
ABSTRACT
To establish an initial approach to individual and group variables that determine adequate interventions of diabetic patients of local health services of the Costa Rican Social Security local.

Methods:

The study design is non-experimental, cross-sectional and applies multi-level logistic regression. The data were obtained from a sample chosen from the Health Services Purchasing Direction, and includes diabetic patients cared for at local levels from January to December2004. The information was used at 2 levels of analysis; level 1 (individual) and level 2 (group), and glycosilated hemoglobin was used as a dependent variable.

Results:

Forty-nine percent were controlled,patients with a median age above 60 years, 66 % of the sample were women, 76,6% with a body mass index (BMI) reflecting overweight and obesity. On the average, the local health services in the study had 7 years since initiating the reform process, and their average score on the “Commitment of Management” for the last 5 years was 87 %, the average population covered was 40 thousand inhabitants, and 22 % of them had high school education. Multilevel logistic regression revealed that as diabetic patients aged the probability of achieving control also increased, women had a lower probability of being under control as compared to men, diabetic patients belonging to the local health services that inititiated their reform earlier, and those belonging to health services achieving higher scores on the “Commitment of Management” had a higher proability of being under control, even though this finding is not statistically significant, given the other model variables.

Discussion:

Approximately between 6 % and 10 % of the variance in the diabetic patient control, is explained by differences within local health services, after controling other interveningvariables.
