RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the health information system (HIS) of Mexico according to the information reported to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The ultimate goal is to identify the improvements that should be considered. METHOD: Health indicators published by the OECD (2017 to 2021) are analyzed according to 11 thematic groups. Coverage (quantity and type of indicators reported by thematic group) and quality of information were assessed, according to OECD guidelines. RESULTS: Mexico reported annually 14 of 378 indicators (3.7%), and discontinuously 204. In no group were all indicators reported annually, except for the two on COVID-19. Three out of 88 were reported annually on use of services; and none on health status, quality of care and pharmaceutical market. Twelve indicators (5.5% of those reported by Mexico, 3.2% of the full OECD set) had optimal quality and annual reporting. 57.7% of the reported indicators had at least one quality defect. CONCLUSIONS: Within the framework of the standards set by the OECD, of which Mexico is a member, the Mexican HIS presents significant deficits in coverage and quality of information. These results should be considered to implement improvement initiatives.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Interoperability between health information systems is a fundamental requirement to guarantee the continuity of health care for the population. The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) is the standard that enables the design and development of interoperable systems with broad adoption worldwide. However, FHIR training curriculums need an easily administered web-based self-learning platform with modules to create scenarios and questions that the learner answers. This paper proposes a system for teaching FHIR that automatically evaluates the answers, providing the learner with continuous feedback and progress. OBJECTIVE: We are designing and developing a learning management system for creating, applying, deploying, and automatically assessing FHIR web-based courses. METHODS: The system requirements for teaching FHIR were collected through interviews with experts involved in academic and professional FHIR activities (universities and health institutions). The interviews were semistructured, recording and documenting each meeting. In addition, we used an ad hoc instrument to register and analyze all the needs to elicit the requirements. Finally, the information obtained was triangulated with the available evidence. This analysis was carried out with Atlas-ti software. For design purposes, the requirements were divided into functional and nonfunctional. The functional requirements were (1) a test and question manager, (2) an application programming interface (API) to orchestrate components, (3) a test evaluator that automatically evaluates the responses, and (4) a client application for students. Security and usability are essential nonfunctional requirements to design functional and secure interfaces. The software development methodology was based on the traditional spiral model. The end users of the proposed system are (1) the system administrator for all technical aspects of the server, (2) the teacher designing the courses, and (3) the students interested in learning FHIR. RESULTS: The main result described in this work is Huemul, a learning management system for training on FHIR, which includes the following components: (1) Huemul Admin: a web application to create users, tests, and questions and define scores; (2) Huemul API: module for communication between different software components (FHIR server, client, and engine); (3) Huemul Engine: component for answers evaluation to identify differences and validate the content; and (4) Huemul Client: the web application for users to show the test and questions. Huemul was successfully implemented with 416 students associated with the 10 active courses on the platform. In addition, the teachers have created 60 tests and 695 questions. Overall, the 416 students who completed their courses rated Huemul highly. CONCLUSIONS: Huemul is the first platform that allows the creation of courses, tests, and questions that enable the automatic evaluation and feedback of FHIR operations. Huemul has been implemented in multiple FHIR teaching scenarios for health care professionals. Professionals trained on FHIR with Huemul are leading successful national and international initiatives.

RESUMO

Resumo Este artigo pretende analisar a morbimortalidade da Covid-19 no Brasil, segundo quesito raça/cor, problematizando o conceito de raça como estruturante para uma atenção equânime na pandemia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e reflexiva, com análise de 43 boletins epidemiológicos e 15 artigos selecionados a partir de uma revisão narrativa de literatura. Discutimos elementos concernentes à epidemiologia social crítica, interseccionalidade e necropolítica, ante as iniquidades em saúde. Os resultados apontam que numa sociedade interseccionalizada por racismo, sexismo e pobreza, o risco, a incidência e a mortalidade da doença são socialmente desiguais, haja vista a população negra, pobre e periférica, apresentar maiores índices epidemiológicos. Desvela-se um Estado com tecnologias necropolíticas governamentais, sendo a pandemia mais um modus de produzir a morte. Conclui-se evocando a insurgência de uma epidemiologia complexa da Covid-19, aliando políticas de saúde à proteção social e ao desenvolvimento econômico.

Abstract This article aims to analyze the morbimortality of COVID-19 in Brazil, according to race/color aspects, problematizing the concept of race as a structuring factor for equitable care in the pandemic. Exploratory and reflective research, with analysis of 43 epidemiological bulletins and 15 articles selected from a narrative literature review. We discuss elements concerning critical social epidemiology, intersectionality, and necropolitics, in the face of health inequities. The results indicate that in a society intersected by racism, sexism, and poverty, the risk, incidence, and mortality of the disease are socially unequal, given that the black, poor, and peripheral city population has higher epidemiological indices. A State with necropolitical technologies is revealed, with the pandemic being another modus to produce death. It concludes by evoking the insurgency of a complex epidemiology of COVID-19, combining health policies with social protection and economic development.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT This study aimed to reinforce the importance of the epidemiological surveillance of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Rio de Janeiro State (RJ). Here, we reviewed seven articles we published between 2018 and 2022. This study had two phases. The quantitative phase where frequency was used to describe patient characteristics and regressions were used to evaluate the relationship between treatment outcomes and covariates. The qualitative phase where content analysis of the narratives was performed. Secondary (electronic systems) and primary (semi-structured interviews) data were used. We analyzed 2,269 MDR-TB, 58.1% MDR-TB, and 18.6% extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) cases, of which 44.3% exhibited unfavorable outcomes. Among the 140 patients with XDR-TB, 29.3% had not undergone prior treatment for MDR-TB. The primary resistance rate in MDR-TB cases was 14.7%, revealing significant demographic and clinical disparities, particularly among women, Caucasians, and those with higher education levels. The number of cases increased from 7.69% in 2000 to 38.42% in 2018, showing an increasing trend (AAPC = 9.4; 95% CI 1.4−18.0, p < 0.001), with 25.4% underreporting. A qualitative study confirmed a high proportion of primary resistance (64.5%) and delayed diagnosis of MDR-TB. In RJ, the diagnostic and therapeutic cascade of MDR-TB must be improved using molecular tests to achieve an early diagnosis of resistance and immediate initiation of appropriate treatment, promote social protection for MDR/XDR-TB patients and their families, enhance TB contact tracing, establish and monitor hospital surveillance centers integrated with Primary Care, and unify various information systems through interoperability for better integration.

Introduction: Repetitive Strain Injuries/Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders represent a health problem that affects several categories of workers and are related to work organization, work environment, environmental conditions and biopsychosocial factors. Objective: to describe the reported cases of Repetitive Strain Injuries/Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in the Northeast Region of Brazil (2010 ­2019).Methodology: descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, with secondary data from the Information System for Notifications of Diseases. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences software version 20 was used for the descriptive statistical analysis and the Qgis software version 3.10.7 for the spatial analysis. Results:The sample consisted of 14,484 notifications. Brazilian states as Bahia 42,0% and Pernambuco 21.9% registered more notifications. Moreover, municipalitiesas Salvador 15,2% and Recife 11,5% registered more cases. It was observed that the spatial distribution of cases of this condition among municipalities is uneven and concentrated. The most affected workers were women (59.6%); aged between 21 and 40 years (50.8%), with black/brown race/color (58.3%) and with complete secondary education (42.0%). There was a predominance of the occupation of production line feeder (4.8%), formal work (74.6%), pain symptom (91.9%) anddiagnosis of shoulder injuries (31.7%). Most workers reported absence from work for treatment (65.3%), limitation and inability to perform tasks (82.9%), performing repetitive movements (88.3%) and temporary disability (66.1 %). Conclusions: System for Notifications of Diseases represents an important instrument to characterize the health of workers, but there is a need for better records to favor data quality. Studies in this sense are needed to support more surveillance and prevention actions for this condition (AU).

RESUMO

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a complex and rare neurodegenerative disease given its heterogeneity. Despite being known for many years, few countries have accurate information about the characteristics of people diagnosed with ALS, such as data regarding diagnosis and clinical features of the disease. In Brazil, the lack of information about ALS limits data for the research progress and public policy development that benefits people affected by this health condition. In this context, this article aims to show a digital health solution development and application for research, intervention, and strengthening of the response to ALS in the Brazilian Health System. The proposed solution is composed of two platforms: the Brazilian National ALS Registry, responsible for the data collection in a structured way from ALS patients all over Brazil; and the Brazilian National ALS Observatory, responsible for processing the data collected in the National Registry and for providing a monitoring room with indicators on people diagnosed with ALS in Brazil. The development of this solution was supported by the Brazilian Ministry of Health (MoH) and was carried out by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in ALS. This solution represents a tool with great potential for strengthening public policies and stands out for being the only public database on the disease, besides containing innovations that allow data collection by health professionals and/or patients. By using both platforms, it is believed that it will be possible to understand the demographic and epidemiological data of ALS in Brazil, since the data will be able to be analyzed by care teams and also by public health managers, both in the individual and collective monitoring of people living with ALS in Brazil.

RESUMO

Avaliar a completude dos dados no SINASC do Paraná, entre 2014 a 2019, de imigrantes e brasileiros. Método: Estudo transversal, retrospectivo, de análise de completude dos dados de nascimento do ano de 2014 a 2019 no estado do Paraná. Foram critérios de análise: excelente (menos de 5% de incompletude); bom (5% a 10%); regular (10% a 20%); ruim (20% a 50%); e muito ruim (acima de 50%). Resultados: Foram registrados no Brasil 948.316 nascidos vivos, dos quais 935.629 eram de mães brasileiras e 12.867 de mães imigrantes de diversas nacionalidades. Dentre as variáveis, os campos incompletos de mães brasileiras somaram 50.243 (5,37%) e de imigrantes 696 (5,41%), demonstrando um bom preenchimento do banco. Conclusão: Foi possível verificar que o banco de dados SINASC mostrou-se confiável e com baixas incompletudes entre os anos de 2014 a 2019 no estado do Paraná, independente da naturalidade da mãe. Porém, dados incompletos referentes às imigrantes ainda são maiores comparados aos de mulheres brasileiras, podendo ser resultado de uma falta de capacitação dos profissionais da saúde para a comunicação com as mães imigrantes que não falam a língua nativa, não coletando os dados de forma adequada e completa.

To evaluate the completeness of data in the SINASC of Paraná, from 2014 to 2019, of immigrants and Brazilians. Method: Cross-sectional, retrospective study, of analysis of completeness of birth data from the year 2014 to 2019 in the state of Paraná. Analysis criteria were: excellent (less than 5% incompleteness); good (5% to 10%); fair (10% to 20%); bad (20% to 50%); and very bad (above 50%). Results: In Brazil, 948,316 live births were registered, of which 935,629 were from Brazilian mothers and 12,867 from immigrant mothers of various nationalities. Among the variables, the incomplete fields of Brazilian mothers totaled 50,243 (5.37%) and of immigrants 696 (5.41%), de- monstrating a good completion of the bank. Conclusion: It was possible to verify that the SINASC database proved to be reliable and with low incompleteness between the years 2014 to 2019 in the state of Paraná, regardless of the mother's naturality. However, in- complete data referring to immigrants are still higher compared to those of Brazilian wo- men, which may be the result of a lack of training of health professionals for communi- cation with immigrant mothers who do not speak the native language, not collecting the data properly and completely.

Conclusão: Foi possível verificar que o banco de dados SINASC mostrou-se confiável e com baixa incompletudes entre os anos de 2014 a 2019 no estado do Paraná, independentemente da naturalidade da mãe. Sin embargo, los datos incompletos referidos a las inmigrantes siguen siendo más altos en comparación con los de las mujeres brasileñas, lo que puede ser el resultado de la falta de formación de los profesionales de la salud para la comunicación con las madres inmigrantes que no hablan el idioma nativo, no recogiendo los datos de forma adecuada y completa.

RESUMO

Introdução: A violência contra a mulher, comumente chamada de violência doméstica, é um problema global de saúde pública. Manifesta-se por meio de abusos físicos, psíquicos, sexuais, morais e patrimoniais. No Brasil, a Lei n.°10.778/2003, estabelece a notificação compulsória, em todo o território nacional, no caso de violência contra a mulher atendida em serviços de saúde públicos ou privados, mediante o preenchimento da Ficha de Notificação Compulsória do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). Objetivo: Caracterizar as notificações de violência contra mulheres em um município do interior do Paraná. Metodologia: Estudo transversal, descritivo com abordagem quantitativa realizado em um município do interior do Paraná a partir da coleta de dados da vigilância epidemiológica de Violência Interpessoal e Autoprovocada (VIVA), do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) entre 2015 e 2019. Resultados: Foram realizadas 1.531 notificações, sendo a maioria das vítimas mulheres adultas, brancas, com ensino médio completo, sem qualquer tipo de deficiência ou transtorno mental, e algumas gestantes. Predominou a violência física, por meio de espancamento; ocorrida majoritariamente no período noturno; na residência da vítima e tendo como agressor o parceiro íntimo. A principal causa apontada foi o sexismo. Conclusão: Os resultados evidenciaram baixa notificação dos casos de violência no município, sugerindo possíveis dificuldades por parte dos profissionais no entendimento e preenchimento da Ficha de Notificação.

Introduction: Violence against women, commonly called domestic violence, is a global public health problem. It manifests itself through physical, psychological, sexual, moral and property abuse. In Brazil, Law No. 10,778/2003 establishes compulsory notification, throughout the national territory, in the case of violence against women assisted in public or private health services, by completing the Compulsory Notification Form of the Information on Notifiable Diseases (SINAN). Objective: To characterize reports of violence against women in a city in the interior of Paraná. Methodology: Cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach carried out in a municipality in the interior of Paraná from the collection of data from the epidemiological surveillance of Interpersonal and Self-Inflicted Violence (VIVA), from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) between 2015 and 2019 Results: 1,531 notifications were made, the majority of victims being adult women, white, with complete secondary education, without any type of disability or mental disorder, and some pregnant women. Physical violence predominated, through beating; occurred mostly at night; at the victim's residence and having the intimate partner as the aggressor. The main cause identified was sexism. Conclusion: The results showed low notification of cases of violence in the municipality, suggesting possible difficulties on the part of professionals in understanding and completing the Notification Form.

RESUMO

Resumo Introdução A febre maculosa é uma doença infecciosa aguda causada por bactérias do gênero Rickettsia e transmitida por carrapatos que pode levar à hospitalização e, eventualmente, a óbito por causa de quadros mais graves. Objetivo O objetivo deste artigo foi descrever o cenário epidemiológico da doença nas três unidades federativas de maior número de notificações e óbitos pela doença no Brasil entre 2007 e 2016. Método Estudo epidemiológico descritivo com base nos dados das fichas de investigação para a doença, sendo analisados dados demográficos, geográficos, ambientais e de hospitalização, diagnóstico e desfecho dos casos na área de estudo. Resultados Foram confirmados 953 casos da doença, em sua maioria por critérios laboratoriais, sendo observada maior prevalência entre homens com idade média de 35 anos, pouco relacionados ao ambiente de trabalho, mas amplamente relacionados ao meio urbano. Do total de casos confirmados, 64% pacientes afirmaram ter tido algum contato com carrapato, assim como com cães (36%), capivaras (20%) e equinos (19%). Conclusão Existem questionamentos a respeito da doença que não foram elucidados neste artigo, entretanto abordagens criativas, validadas e ancoradas na associação de áreas de conhecimento distintas poderão dar bons resultados se objetivamente aplicadas em ações estratégicas da gestão da saúde.

Abstract Background Spotted fever is an acute infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Rickettsia and transmitted by ticks, which can lead to hospitalization and, eventually, death due to more severe conditions. Objective The purpose of this article was to describe the epidemiological scenario of the disease in the three federal states with the highest number of notifications and deaths due to the disease in Brazil between 2007 and 2016. Method A descriptive epidemiological study was carried out based on data from the investigation forms for the disease, with data being analyzed on demographic, geographic, environmental, and hospitalization, diagnosis, and outcome of cases in the study area. Results 953 cases of the disease were confirmed, mostly by laboratory criteria, with a higher prevalence being observed among men with an average age of 35 years, little related to the work environment, but largely related to the urban environment. Of the total confirmed cases, 64% of patients said that they had had some contact with ticks, as well as with dogs (36%), capybaras (20%), and horses (19%). Conclusion We believe that there are questions about the disease that were not elucidated in this article, however, creative approaches, validated and anchored in the association of different areas of knowledge can give good results if objectively applied in strategic health management actions.

Abstract Objective To analyze the trend of suicide mortality in the state of Espirito Santo and its Mountain Region from 1996 to 2020. Methods Descriptive and analytical time series study with consolidated data on deaths by suicide in the population over 15 years old obtained from the Mortality Information System. The units of analysis were the state of Espirito Santo and its Mountain Region. The trend analysis was verified by Prais-Winsten regression and by calculating the annual percentage change. Results A total of 3922 deaths by suicide were reported in Espirito Santo and of these, 525 in the mountain Region. The trend of suicide mortality in the state was increasing in the general population over 15 years old (APC= 5.1; 95%CI= 0.28-9.92; p=0.039). The mortality rate continued to grow among the female population, both in relation to the state (APC= 6.5; 95%CI= 1.55-14.46; p=0.012) and in the mountain region (APC= 15.2; 95%CI= 1.21-29.20; p=0.035). Mortality increased in the age group from 30 to 59 years old in the state (APC= 3.4; 95%CI= 0.62-6.10; p=0.018) and in the Mountain Region (APC= 2.9; 95%CI= 2.02-3.86; p<0.001). Conclusion The suicide trend was growing in the general population of the state of Espirito Santo and its Mountain Region among young and female adults. The relevance of self-inflicted violence verified in the rates analyzed in this study points to the need to use preventive strategies, especially among women.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A computer application called the National Death Information System (SINADEF) was implemented in Peru so that physicians can prepare death certificates in electronic format and the information is available online. In 2018, only half of the estimated deaths in Peru were certified using SINADEF. When a death is certified in paper format, the probability being entered in the mortality database decreases. It is important to know, from the user's perspective, the factors that can influence the successful implementation of SINADEF. SINADEF can only be successfully implemented if it is known whether physicians believe that it is useful and easy to operate. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify the perceptions of physicians and other factors as predictors of their behavioral intention to use SINADEF to certify a death. METHODS: This study had an observational, cross-sectional design. A survey was provided to physicians working in Peru, who used SINADEF to certify a death for a period of 12 months, starting in November 2019. A questionnaire was adapted based on the Technology Acceptance Model. The questions measured the dimensions of subjective norm, image, job relevance, output quality, demonstrability of results, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and behavioral intention to use. Chi-square and logistic regression tests were used in the analysis, and a confidence level of 95% was chosen to support a significant association. RESULTS: In this study, 272 physicians responded to the survey; 184 (67.6%) were men and the average age was 45.3 (SD 10.1) years. The age range was 24 to 73 years. In the bivariate analysis, the intention to use SINADEF was found to be associated with (1) perceived usefulness, expressed as "using SINADEF avoids falsifying a death certificate" (P<.001), "using SINADEF reduces the risk of errors" (P<.001), and "using SINADEF allows for filling out a certificate in less time" (P<.001); and (2) perceived ease of use, expressed as "I think SINADEF is easy to use" (P<.001). In the logistic regression, perceived usefulness (odds ratio [OR] 8.5, 95% CI 2.2-32.3; P=.002), perceived ease of use (OR 10.1, 95% CI 2.4-41.8; P=.001), and training in filling out death certificates (OR 8.3, 95% CI 1.6-42.8; P=.01) were found to be predictors of the behavioral intention to use SINADEF. CONCLUSIONS: The behavioral intention to use SINADEF was related to the perception that it is an easy-to-use system, the belief that it improves the performance of physicians in carrying out the task at hand, and with training in filling out death certificates.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) comprises pathological forms of placental trophoblastic tissue proliferation. When benign, they present with hydatidiform moles, and when malignant, they are called Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia. With the growth of the practice of digital health, allied to updated therapeutic approaches, the Outpatient Clinic for Gestational Trophoblastic Disease has built a Health Information System (HIS), contributing to the teaching-learning binomial, as well as to self-care. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional and blind technological assessment research for developing SIS-Mola (Website for the medical team and the Application "MolaApp" aimed at patients with GTD). We used the Praxis management approach to manage the application creation project. In the tasks involving real-time chat, a WebSocket layer was created and hosted together with the project's web services, which use the Arch Linux operating system. For the evaluations, we provided questionnaires developed based on the System Usability Scale (SUS), to determine the degree of user satisfaction, with objective questions on the Likert scale. We invited 28 participants for the evaluations, among ABDTG specialist physicians, doctors from the DTG Outpatient Clinic team, and the patients. The study was systematized according to the rules of treatment and follow-up in treating the disease. RESULTS: The tests were conducted from November 2021 to February 2022. The responses obtained on a Likert scale indicated reliability and credibility to the HIS, since the total usability score, measured by the ten questions of the SUS instrument, had a mean of 81.1 (clinicians), 80 (patients) and median of 77.5 for both groups. The sample was characterized according to the variables: age, gender, education, computer knowledge, and profession. CONCLUSION: Developing a HIS in the GTD Outpatient Clinic met the objectives regarding the rules of treatment and follow-up of patients. With these digital tools, it is possible to obtain data about the patient's health, sending information through exams performed and appropriate treatments. The connectivity capacity allows agile care, saving time, costs and solving the displacement problem. The TICs generate natural efficiency for the organization in the flow of service and the formation of a database, improving the quality of the assistance.

RESUMO

Epidemiological surveillance and notification of respiratory infections are important for management and control of epidemics and pandemics. Fact-based decisions, like social distancing policies and preparation of hospital beds, are taken based on several factors, including case numbers; hence, health authorities need quick access to reliable and well-analysed data. We aimed to analyse the role of the Brazilian public health system in the notification and hospitalization of patients with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI). Data of SARI cases in Brazil (2013-20) were obtained from SIVEP-Gripe platform, and legal status of each healthcare unit (HCU) responsible for case notification and hospitalization was obtained from the National Registry of Health Facilities (CNES) database. HCUs that are part of the hospital network were classified as 'Public Administration', 'Business Entities', 'Philanthropic Entities' or 'Individuals'. SARI notification data from Brazilian macro-regions (North, Northeast, Midwest, Southeast and South) were analysed and compared between administrative spheres. This study reveals that hospitalizations due to SARI increased significantly in Brazil during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, especially in HCUs of Public Administration. In the Southeast and South, where incidence of SARI is high, philanthropic HCUs also contribute to hospitalization of SARI cases and attend up to 7.4% of the cases notified by the Public Administration. The number of cases is usually lower in other regions, but in 2020 the Northeast showed more hospitalizations than the South. In the South, SARI season occurs later; however, in 2020, an early peak was observed because of COVID-19. Notably, the contribution of each administrative sphere that manages hospital networks in Brazil in the control and management of SARI varies between regions. Our approach will allow managers to assess the use of public resources, given that there are different profiles of healthcare in each region of Brazil and that the public health system has a major role in notifying and attending SARI cases.

RESUMO

Introdução: Em 2020, conclui-se o ciclo da Década de Ações para a Segurança no Trânsito proposto pela Organização das Nações Unidas. Para atingir a meta de redução das mortes estabelecida pela ONU, em 2010, teve início o Programa Vida no Trânsito (PVT), cuja implementação está organizada em quatro etapas: articulação intersetorial; qualificação e integração dos dados; ações integradas de segurança no trânsito; e monitoramento das ações. Considera-se importante identificar quais etapas não estão implementadas e apontar possíveis estratégias para o ajuste do programa, de modo a atingir suas metas. A possibilidade de se obter uma plataforma web capaz de vincular bases epidemiológicas de dados consolidados, permitindo o amplo uso desses na vigilância para a produção de informação sobre os acidentes de trânsito, faz-se oportuna à avaliação do desempenho dessa ferramenta digital. Objetivo: Avaliar o grau da implementação do PVT em 31 municípios, a confiabilidade e a validade no pareamento probabilístico de bases de dados (record linkage) realizado na plataforma digital especialmente desenvolvida para a o PVT. Método: foi realizada uma avaliação formal e normativa, composta de duas fases: a) validação de conteúdo de 28 indicadores da implementação do PVT e b) a avaliação do grau da implementação, a partir de dois inquéritos (2015 e 2017) numa amostra de 30 municípios. Em seguida, Record Linkage (RL) probabilístico foi realizado com uso do software Reclink e da plataforma digital PD-PVT. Estes estudos utilizaram registros disponíveis na base de dados de vítimas do trânsito (VIT), no Sistema de Internação Hospitalar (SIH) e no Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade (SIM), referentes ao segundo trimestre de 2016 de um município participante do PVT. Foi então verificado o desempenho do RL na PD-PVT, por meio da análise das medidas de concordância e validade comparadas à rotina do RL realizado no Reclink. Resultados: O PVT encontra-se parcial ou totalmente implementado em 84,61% dos municípios. Observou-se um aumento no número de municípios implementados, passando de oito para dez, nos anos de 2015 a 2017. Entre as quatro etapas da metodologia do PVT, apenas a primeira, encontra-se implementada. Acerca do desempenho do RL na PD-PVT, a integração entre as bases SIH-VIT e SIM-VIT mostraram uma excelente confiabilidade entre os avaliadores (Kappa 0,95-0,98). Para validade, os resultados do PD-PVT foram: Precision 1,00 (IC 1,00-1,00) para o SIM-VIT; Recall 1,00 (CI 1,00-1,00) para SIH-VIT; e AUCPR 0,99 (CI 0,99-1,00) para SIH-VIT. Conclusão: Este estudo encontrou avanços no processo de implementação do programa nos anos avaliados, no entanto, apenas a primeira etapa apresenta-se implementada nos municípios avaliados. A técnica de RL realizada na PD-PVT mostrou excelente desempenho. É relevante destacar que uma das grandes vantagens desse sistema web está no processo automatizado de pareamento probabilístico. Diante disso, acredita-se que a redução dos passos torne o processo de RL mais ágil e mais simples, possibilitando, dessa forma a incorporação da técnica de RL, na rotina do serviço dos profissionais envolvidos, o que deverá contribuir para o andamento das atividades seguintes à etapa de qualificação da informação.

Introduction: In 2020, the cycle of the Decade of Actions for Traffic Safety proposed by the United Nations Organization ends. In order to reach the goal of reducing deaths caused by the UN, in 2010, the Program Vida no Trânsito (PVT) was started, whose implementation is organized in four stages: intersectoral articulation; qualification and integration of data; integrated traffic safety actions; and monitoring of actions. It is considered important to identify which steps are not implemented and point out possible adjustments to the program in order to achieve its goals. The possibility of obtaining a web platform capable of linking epidemiological databases of consolidated data, allowing wide use in surveillance for the production of information on traffic accidents, makes the performance evaluation of this digital tool opportune. Objective: To evaluate the degree of implementation of the PVT in 31 municipalities, the reliability and validation of the probabilistic pairing of databases (record linkage) carried out on the digital platform specially developed for the PVT. Method: a formal and normative one was carried out, consisting of two phases: a) content validation of 28 indicators of the PVT implementation and b) the evaluation of the degree of implementation, based on two surveys (2015 and 2017) in a sample of 30 municipalities. Then, probabilistic Record Linkage (RL) was performed using the Reclink software and the PD-PVT digital platform. These studies use records available in the traffic death database (VIT), in the Hospital Admission System (SIH) and in the Mortality Information System (SIM), referring to the second quarter of 2016 of a municipality participating in the PVT. The performance of the RL in the PD-PVT was then verified, through the analysis of the measures of agreement and validated to the routine of the RL performed in the Reclink. Results: The PVT is partially or fully implemented in 84.61% of the municipalities. There was an increase in the number of implemented municipalities, from eight to ten, in the years 2015 to 2017. Among the four stages of the PVT methodology, only the first is implemented. Regarding the performance of the RL in the PD-PVT, an integration between the SIH-VIT and permanent SIM-VIT bases and an excellent reliability among the evaluators (Kappa 0.95-0.98). For validation, the PD-PVT results were: Precision 1.00 (CI 1.00-1.00) for SIM-VIT; Remember 1.00 (CI 1.00-1.00) for SIH-VIT; and AUCPR 0.99 (CI 0.99-1.00) for SIH-VIT. Conclusion: This study found advances in the process of implementing the program in the years obtained, however, only the first stage is implemented in the recovered municipalities. The RL technique performed on the PD-PVT revealed excellent performance. It is worth noting that one of the great advantages of this web system is not the automated process of probabilistic matching. Therefore, it is believed that the reduction of steps makes the RL process more agile and simpler, thus enabling an incorporation of the RL technique in the service routine of the professionals involved, which should contribute to the progress of activities following the information qualification stage.

RESUMO

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Excess Mortality by all causes considers deaths directly related to COVID-19 and those attributed to conditions caused by the pandemic. When stratified by social dimensions, such as race/color, it allows for the evaluation of more vulnerable populations. The study estimated the excess mortality by natural causes, separating the white and black populations in 2020. METHODS Public civil registration data on deaths observed in 2020, corrected for under registration, were used. The expected number of deaths was estimated based on the mortality rates observed in 2019, applied to the estimated population in 2020. The difference between the values expected and observed and the proportion of excess was considered the excess mortality. RESULTS: The present study found an excess of 270,321 deaths (22.2% above the expected) in 2020. Every state of Brazil reported deaths above the corresponding expected figure. The excess was higher for men (25.2%) than for women (19.0%). Blacks showed an excess of 27.8%, as compared to whites at 17.6%. In both sexes and all age groups, excess was higher in the black population, especially in the South, Southeast, and Midwest regions. São Paulo, the largest in population number, had twice as much excess death in the black population (25.1%) than in the white population (11.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed racial disparities in excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. The higher excess found for the black suggests an intrinsic relationship with the socioeconomic situation, further exposing the Brazilian reality, in which social and structural inequality is evident.

RESUMO

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade das informações sobre mortalidade por neoplasias no âmbito do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade. Métodos: Estudo descritivo observacional com avaliação da qualidade do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade, com desfecho referente aos dados de óbitos por neoplasias ocorridos entre os anos de 2009 e 2019 na população brasileira (≥15 anos). A qualidade da informação (QI) foi mensurada para o Brasil e para as Unidades Federativas por meio das dimensões: cobertura, especificidade e completude dos dados. Resultados: A qualidade da dimensão cobertura variou entre "boa" e "excelente" nas abrangências nacional e estadual. A dimensão especificidade foi classificada como inadequada predominantemente nos Estados das Regiões Norte e Nordeste. A proporção de causas mal definidas foi classificada como de "baixa" qualidade na maioria das unidades de análise ao longo da série. A completude dos dados variou de acordo com o indicador utilizado, os indicadores sexo e idade mostraram-se "excelentes" para todo o período e unidades de análise, a escolaridade apresentou variação de qualidade tanto nas unidades como nos períodos e o estado civil apresentou melhoria da qualidade de seu registro ao longo do período, assim como o indicador raça/cor. Conclusões: A qualidade dos dados de mortalidade por neoplasias na população brasileira (≥15 anos) é, em sua maioria, adequada, mas há lacunas importantes que merecem ser preenchidas, pois a ampliação da QI busca dar visibilidade à condição de saúde da população brasileira, bem como propor ações públicas para sua melhoria.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the quality of information about mortality from neoplasm within the Mortality Information System. Methods: Descriptive observational study evaluating the quality of the Mortality Information System, with an outcome referring to data on deaths from neoplasm between 2009 and 2019 in the Brazilian population (≥15 years). Information Quality (IQ) was measured through coverage, specificity and completeness of data, at national and state level. Results: The quality of the coverage dimension ranged from "good" to "excellent" in the national and state coverages. Specificity was classified as inadequate mainly in the states of the North and Northeast regions. The proportion of ill-defined causes was classified as "poor" quality in most units of analysis throughout the series. Data completeness varied according to indicator. Gender and age indicators were proven "excellent" for the entire period and units of analysis, while educational level varied in quality across units and periods, marital status had its quality improved over the period, as well as ethnicity/skin color. Conclusions: The quality of data on mortality from neoplasm in the Brazilian population (≥15 years) is mostly adequate, but there are important gaps to be filled, as the expansion of IQ seeks to give visibility to the health condition of the Brazilian population and to propose public actions for its improvement.
