Pneumonia is most problematic for children in developing countries. In 2010, Brazil introduced a 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) to its National Immunization Program. To assess the vaccine's effectiveness preventing pneumonia, we analyzed rates of hospitalization among 2-24 months age who had pneumonia from all causes January 2005 through August 2011. We used data Hospitalization Information System conduct an interrupted time-series analysis 5 cities that good quality and...
Objective— There is little information about how much traditional cardiovascular risk factors explain common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) variance. We aimed to study which extent CCA-IMT values are determined by and commonly used measurements of blood pressure, glucose metabolism, lipid profile, adiposity contribute the most this determination in Brazilian Longitudinal Study Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) cohort baseline. Approach Results— analyzed 9792 individuals with...
This paper provides evidence suggesting that gun control measures have been effective in reducing the toll of violence on population health Brazil. In 2004, for first time more than a decade, firearm-related mortality declined 8 percent from previous year. Firearm-related hospitalizations also reversed historical trend year by decreasing 4.6 2003 levels. These changes corresponded with anti-gun legislation passed late and disarmament campaigns undertaken throughout country since mid-2004....
Influenza disease is a vaccine-preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) region has invested in influenza vaccines, but few estimates burden exist to justify these investments. We estimated influenza-associated deaths for 35 PAHO countries during 2002-2008.Annually, report registered deaths. used respiratory circulatory (R&C) codes from seven with distinct seasonality high-quality mortality data estimate rates by age group (0-64, 65-74, ≥ 75...
OBJETIVO: Descrever a tendência da mortalidade do câncer de pulmão, traquéia e brônquios por sexo faixas etárias no Brasil. MÉTODOS: Para essa análise, utilizou-se o banco dados Sistema Informações sobre Mortalidade 1980 2003. A análise Brasil em estados selecionados foi realizada com ajuste modelos utilização técnica LOWESS para suavização das taxas. RESULTADOS: No Brasil, taxa padronizada passou 7,21 9,36 óbitos 100 mil habitantes taxas específicas mostra redução homens entre 30 49 anos 50...
OBJETIVO: Analisar as tendências do risco de morte por doenças isquêmicas coração e cerebrovasculares, nas regiões Norte, Nordeste, Centro-Oeste, Sudeste Sul Brasil, no período 1981 a 2001. MÉTODOS: Dados mortalidade cerebrovasculares cinco brasileiras foram obtidos através Ministério da Saúde. A fonte dados foi o Sistema Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM), Departamento Análise Informação Saúde - Secretaria Vigilância em população das estados teve IBGE, censos 1991 2000, contagem...
We evaluated the functional dependence of stroke survivors from Study Stroke Mortality and Morbidity, using Rankin Scale. Out 355 ischemic (with a mean age 67.9 years), 40% had some at 28 days 34.4% 6 months. Most predictors physical were identified days. These were: low levels education [illiterate vs. ≥ 8 years education, multivariate odds ratio (OR) = 3.7; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.60-8.54] anatomical location (total anterior circulation infarct, OR 16.9; 95%CI: 2.93-97.49). Low...
Few studies have examined both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke to identify prognostic factors associated long-term survival. We investigated survival predictors that could adversely influence first-ever prognosis.We prospectively ascertained 665 consecutive cases from "The Study of Stroke Mortality Morbidity" (The EMMA Study) in a community hospital São Paulo, Brazil. evaluated cardiovascular risk sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, race educational level).We found lower rate...
Noninvasive strategies for evaluating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have been investigated over the last few decades. Our aim was to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of a new hepatic ultrasound score NAFLD in ELSA-Brasil study.Diagnostic study conducted ELSA center, hospital public university.Among 15,105 participants who were evaluated NAFLD, 195 individuals included this sub-study. Hepatic performed (deep beam attenuation, hepatorenal index and anteroposterior diameter right lobe)...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Stroke prognosis is related to the multimorbidity profile. Moreover, performing an individual evaluation of most common cerebrovascular risk factors (CVRF) not always identifies patients with poor prognosis. Thus, we decided evaluate profile, focusing on Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) validated by Goldstein for ischaemic stroke (IS) patients, a score that measures burden comorbidities and its mortality in long-term survival EMMA Study...
Background Individuals in the indeterminate phase of Chagas disease are considered to have mortality rates similar those overall population. This study compares among blood donors seropositive for and negative controls city São Paulo, Brazil. Methodology/principal findings is a retrospective cohort from 1996 2000: 2842 5684 seronegative disease. Death status was ascertained by performing probabilistic record linkage (RL) with Brazil national information system (SIM). RL assessed previous...
To detect outbreaks of diseases in public health, several control charts have been proposed the literature. In this context, usual generalized linear model may be fitted for counts under a Negative Binomial distribution with logarithm link function and population size included as offset to hospitalization rates. Different statistics are used build CUSUM monitor daily hospitalizations their performances compared simulation studies. The main contribution current paper is consider different...
e sua tendência de 1980 a 2003.Utilizaram-se os óbitos captados pelo Sistema Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM).Para análise tendência, utilizaram-se taxas padronizadas, adotando-se como referência população brasileira no ano 2000.Em 2003, ocorreram 49.808 Brasil -28 por 100 mil habitantes.Houve diferencial risco mortalidade segundo raça/cor condição social -escolaridade.Indivíduos negros (pretos pardos) associaram-se pior maior homicídio, comparados aos brancos.A taxa padronizada arma fogo...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade da informação registrada nas declarações de óbito fetal. MÉTODOS: Estudo documental com 710 óbitos fetais em hospitais São Paulo, SP, no primeiro semestre 2008, registrados na base unificada Fundação Sistema Estadual Análise Dados e Secretaria Estado Saúde Paulo. Foi analisada completitude das variáveis fetal emitidas por Serviço Verificação Óbitos. Os registros uma amostra 212 do Único foram comparados os dados dos prontuários registro RESULTADOS: Dentre as...
In public health surveillance, control charts based on the daily number of hospitalizations may be monitored to detect outbreaks and/or plan offer assistance. A generalized linear model with negative binomial distribution is proposed hospitalizations, and it depends exposed population covariates, as day week sines cosines describe seasonality. The objective this study compare (in terms R L 1 ) exponentially weighted moving average cumulative sum for monitoring counts simulations due...
Background It is not clear the relationship between stroke mortality trends and socioeconomic inequalities in low- middle-income countries. Aims We compared differences of by status city Sao Paulo, Brazil. Methods analyzed intra-urban distribution death rates from 1996 to 2011 for persons aged 35-74 years old according income using joinpoint regression. Results confirmed 77 848 deaths period, 51-4% them among old. For all areas, there was parallelism genders, average annual percent changes...
Atrial fibrillation is a predictor of poor prognosis after stroke.To evaluate atrial and all-cause cardiovascular mortality in stroke cohort with low socioeconomic status, taking into consideration oral anticoagulant use during 12-year follow-up.All-cause was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curve Cox regression models to estimate hazard ratios 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). For specific causes, cumulative incidence functions were computed. A logit link function used calculate odds (OR)...
The aim of this study was to analyze the profile newborns, mothers, and early neonatal mortality according hospital's complexity affiliation (or lack thereof) with Unified National Health System (SUS) in Greater Metropolitan São Paulo, Brazil. based on data for live births, deaths, hospital registries. Factor cluster analysis were used obtain typology user profile. SUS treats more high-risk newborns mothers low schooling, insufficient prenatal care, teenage mothers. probability death 5.6...
