Resumo O artigo avalia a linha de cuidado de uma coorte de 260 indivíduos com diabetes mellitus e 295 indivíduos com hipertensão arterial sistêmica antes, durante e após a implantação do Laboratório de Inovações na Atenção às Condições Crônicas (LIACC). Essa intervenção buscou fortalecer a atenção primária à saúde, implantando o modelo de atenção às condições crônicas no município de Santo Antônio do Monte, Minas Gerais, Brasil, entre 2013 e 2014. Trata-se de um estudo observacional longitudinal que utiliza informações clínicas e laboratoriais dos prontuários dos pacientes dessas duas condições crônicas entre 2012 e 2017. Os desfechos avaliados foram baseados nas linhas guias da Secretaria de Estado de Saúde de Minas Gerais. Os resultados evidenciam o LIACC associado à universalização de macroprocessos da atenção primária, como o cadastramento e a classificação do risco familiar. Para pacientes com diabetes houve melhora em diversos marcadores no período, como o aumento da realização de consulta (de 90% em 2012 para 92% em 2017) e diminuição dos pacientes com exames fora das faixas de normalidade. Já para indivíduos com hipertensão, mesmo sendo observado um crescimento acentuado da realização de consultas (de 80% em 2012 para 84% em 2017), as melhorias clínicas foram menos evidentes. Conclui-se que o LIACC se configura como uma promissora intervenção para a melhoria do manejo de pacientes com doenças crônicas na atenção primária à saúde.

Family Health Strategy, the primary health care program in Brazil, has been scaled up throughout the country, but its expansion has been heterogeneous across municipalities. We investigate if there are unique municipal characteristics that can explain the timing of uptake and the pattern of expansion of the Family Health Strategy from years 1998 to 2012. We categorized municipalities in six groups based on the relative speed of the Family Health Strategy uptake and the pattern of Family Health Strategy coverage expansion. We assembled data for 11 indicators for years 2000 and 2010, for 5,507 municipalities, and assessed differences in indicators across the six groups, which we mapped to examine spatial heterogeneities. Important factors differentiating early and late adopters of the Family Health Strategy were supply of doctors and population density. Sustained coverage expansion was related mainly to population size, marginal benefits of the program and doctors' supply. The uptake was widespread nationwide with no distinct patterns among regions, but highly heterogeneous at the state and municipal level. The Brazilian experience of expanding primary health care offers three lessons in relation to factors influencing diffusion of primary health care. First, the funding mechanism is critical for program implementation, and must be accompanied by ways to support the supply of primary care physicians in low density areas. Second, in more developed and bigger areas the main challenge is lack of incentives to pursue universal coverage, especially due to the availability of private insurance. Third, population size is a crucial element to guarantee coverage sustainability over time.

FUNDAMENTO: Embora as doenças cardiovasculares sejam a maior causa de morbimortalidade em todo Brasil, o acesso das populações de cidades pequenas à eletrocardiografia e à avaliação cardiológica é limitado. O uso da telecardiologia para facilitar o acesso da população de municípios remotos à eletrocardiografia e à segunda opinião em cardiologia é promissora, entretanto não foi formalmente testada. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a viabilidade de se implantar o sistema público de telecardiologia de baixo custo em pequenas cidades brasileiras. MÉTODOS: Foram selecionadas 82 cidades do Estado de Minas Gerais, com população < 10.500 habitantes, > 70% de cobertura pelo Programa Saúde da Família (PSF), com interesse do gestor e acesso pela internet. Em cada município foi instalado um aparelho de eletrocardiógrafo (ECG) digital, com subsequente treinamento da equipe. A implantação foi coordenada pelo HC/UFMG, em conjunto com outros quatro hospitais universitários mineiros (UFU, UFTM, UFJF e UNIMONTES). Os ECGs foram realizados nos municípios e enviados pela internet para análise imediata em plantão de telecardiologia. Realizaram-se discussões de casos médicos on-line e off-line e cursos de atualização via web. RESULTADOS: No período de implantação, foram treinados 253 profissionais de saúde. De julho de 2006 a novembro de 2008, o projeto atendeu 42.664 pacientes, realizando 62.865 ECGs. Foram efetuados 2.148 atendimentos de urgência e 420 teleconsultorias. A avaliação intermediária apontou boa aceitação da tecnologia implantada e uma diminuição de 70% de encaminhamentos de pacientes para outros centros de referência. CONCLUSÃO: É factível a utilização de recursos habituais de informática para facilitar o acesso de populações de cidades pequenas à eletrocardiografia e avaliação cardiológica especializada.FUNDAMENTO: Aunque las enfermedades cardiovasculares sean la mayor causa de morbimortalidade en todo Brasil, el acceso de las poblaciones de ciudades pequeñas a la electrocardiografía y a la evaluación cardiológica es limitado.

The use of telecardiology to assist the access of distant towns to electrocardiography and a second opinion in cardiology is promising; however, it has not been formally assessed. OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of implementing a low-cost public telecardiology system in small Brazilian towns. METHODS: A total of 82 towns in the state of Minas Gerais, with a population < 10,500 inhabitants, presenting > 70% coverage by the Family Health Program (Programa Saude da Familia - PSF), local government compliance and internet access, were selected. Each town was supplied with digital electrocardiography (ECG) device and a team was trained. The implementation was coordinated by HC/UFMG, together with four university hospitals in the state of Minas Gerais (UFU, UFTM, UFJF and UNIMONTES). The ECG assessments were carried out in the towns and sent through the Internet for prompt analysis by an on-duty telecardiology team. Online and offline discussions on the medical cases were carried out through the Internet, as well as refreshment courses. RESULTS: During the implementation period, a total of 253 health professionals were trained. From July 2006 to November 2008, the project assisted 42,664 patients, with a total of 62,865 ECG assessments being performed. A total of 2,148 emergency cases were treated, as well as 420 teleconsultations. The intermediate evaluation showed good acceptance of the implemented technology and a 70% decrease in patient referrals to other reference centers. CONCLUSION: The use of the customary resources in informatics to assist the access of small-town populations to electrocardiography and specialized cardiology assessment is feasible.

FUNDAMENTO: A imagem de perfusão miocárdica adquirida durante episódio de dor torácica tem sido utilizada nos pacientes na sala de emergência. OBJETIVO: Avaliar as características operacionais da cintilografia com 99mTc-Tetrofosmin durante episódio de dor torácica para descartar o diagnóstico de infarto agudo do miocárdio. MÉTODOS: 108 pacientes admitidos com dor torácica ou até quatro horas do término dos sintomas e eletrocardiograma não diagnostico realizaram cintilografia em repouso e dosagens de troponina I. Pacientes com passado de infarto do miocárdio (IM) não foram excluídos (24 pacientes). Troponina I foi dosada na admissão e seis horas após. Médicos nucleares realizaram análise cega das imagens. Infarto do miocárdio foi confirmado com elevação da troponina I maior que três vezes o controle. RESULTADOS: A imagem perfusional de repouso foi anormal em todos os seis pacientes com IM. Apenas um paciente apresentou imagem normal e elevação da troponina. Outros 55 pacientes obtiveram imagem positiva sem IM e 46 pacientes com imagens e troponinas normais. A prevalência da doença foi 6,5%. A sensibilidade da imagem de repouso durante dor torácica para a evidência de IM foi 85,7% e especificidade de 45,5%. O valor preditivo negativo foi 97,7%. CONCLUSÃO: Pacientes submetidos ao protocolo de dor torácica com cintilografia de perfusão miocárdica demonstraram um excelente valor preditivo negativo para afastar o diagnóstico de infarto do miocárdio. Estes resultados sugerem que a imagem de perfusão em repouso é uma ferramenta importante na unidade de dor torácica.FUNDAMENTO: La utilización en los pacientes de la imagen de perfusión miocárdica, adquirida durante episodio de dolor torácico, es frecuente en la sala de emergencia. OBJETIVO: Evaluar las características operacionales de la centellografía con 99mTc-Tetrofosmin, durante episodio de dolor torácico, para descartar el diagnóstico de infarto agudo de miocardio. MÉTODOS: Un total de 108 pacientes ingresados con dolor torácico, o hasta tras 4 horas del término de los síntomas, con electrocardiograma no diagnostico, realizaron centellografía en reposo y dosificaciones de troponina I. No se excluyeron a los pacientes con pasado de infarto de miocardio (IM) (24 pacientes). Se dosificó troponina I al ingreso y tras 6 horas del ingreso. Médicos nucleares realizaron análisis ciego de las imágenes. Se confirmó infarto de miocardio, con elevación de la troponina I mayor que tres veces el control. RESULTADOS: La imagen de perfusión en reposo se mostró anormal en todos los seis pacientes con IM. Sólo un paciente presentó imagen normal y elevación de la troponina. Otros 55 pacientes obtuvieron imagen positiva sin IM y 46 pacientes presentaron imágenes y troponinas normales. La prevalencia de la enfermedad fue de un 6,5%. Fue de un 85,7% la sensibilidad de la imagen de reposo durante dolor torácico para la evidencia de IM, y la especificidad de un 45,5%. El valor predictivo negativo fue de un 97,7%. CONCLUSIÓN: Pacientes sometidos al protocolo de dolor torácico con centellografía de perfusión miocárdica demostraron un excelente valor predictivo negativo para la exclusión del diagnóstico de infarto de miocardio. Estos resultados sugieren que la imagen de perfusión en reposo es una herramienta importante en la unidad de dolor torácico.BACKGROUND: Images of myocardial perfusion taken during an episode of chest pain have been used for patients in the emergency department. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the operating characteristics of 99mTc-Tetrofosmin scintigraphy during an episode of chest pain to exclude the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: One hundred and eight patients admitted with chest pain, or up to four hours after the end of symptoms and nondiagnostic electrocardiogram, underwent resting scintigraphy and measurement of troponin I concentrations. Patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) were not excluded (24 patients). Troponin I concentrations were determined at admission and 6 hours later. Nuclear physicians performed a blind analysis of the images, and myocardial infarction was confirmed whenever troponin I level increase was three times that of the control. RESULTS: Resting perfusion image was abnormal in all 6 patients with MI. Only 1 patient had a normal image and increased troponin levels. Fifty-five patients had positive images without MI, and 46 patients had normal images and troponin levels. The prevalence of the disease was 6.5%. The sensitivity and specificity of the resting images during an episode of chest pain to diagnose MI was 85.7% and 45.5%, respectively. The negative predictive value was 97.7%. CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing chest pain protocol with SPECT showed an excellent negative predictive value to exclude diagnosis of myocardial infarction. These results suggest that resting perfusion image is an important tool at the chest pain unit.

This study analyzes how different health dimensions defined by the EQ-5D-3L instrument affect average individual preferences for health states. This analysis is an important benchmark for the incorporation of health technologies as it takes into consideration Brazilian population preferences in health resource allocation decisions. The EQ-5D instrument defines health in terms of five dimensions (mobility, daily activities, self-care activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) each divided into three levels of severity. Data came from a valuation study with 3,362 literate individuals aged between 18 and 64 living in urban areas of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The main results reveal that health utility decreases as the level of severity increases. With regard to health issues, mobility stands out as the most important EQ-5D dimension. Independently of severity levels of the other EQ-5D-3L dimensions, the highest decrements in utilities are associated with severe mobility problems.

The aim of this paper is to estimate the impact of health conditions on the earnings of Brazilians. We have identified three channels through which health conditions affect workers' earnings: labour force participation, hourly wages and weekly hours worked. A measure of the welfare reduction due to poor health conditions was created by aggregating individual losses. Individuals were classified as sick or healthy according to two criteria. Firstly, the clinical criterion which was based on the presence of chronic diseases or problems with physical mobility. Secondly, the subjective criterion which was based on the health self assessment. Each Brazilian individual looses from R$6,30 till R$ 16,89 per week depending on individual characteristics. In relative terms these aggregated losses represent from 1.5% till 4.7% of the Brazilian GDP. The data base used in this work were PNAD/1998 (Brazilian National Household Survey). In 1998, the PNAD had an additional survey about health.

Introduction\ud \ud Health-related quality of life is expressed in utilities, also referred to as utility estimates or parameters. Considerations about the source and type of utility values are especially important in a modeling context, where the lack of transparency, including the lack of a hierarchy for utility data sources, is a major issue to any estimation and can potentially compromise model reliability.\ud \ud \ud \ud Objectives\ud \ud This document aims to present the first version of the Brazilian guidelines for utility measurement to support economic analysis.\ud \ud \ud \ud Methods\ud \ud A virtual workshop and a modified Delphi panel with 10 health technology specialists followed a rapid evaluation of 110 technical documents and indexed publications. The recommendations are based on the proposition that has received the most votes, although contentious issues are addressed in the suggestion or discussion. The rationale for the final decision is included in the text.\ud \ud \ud \ud Results\ud \ud The consensus includes 50 recommendations with the following topics: Transparency and Reliability, Model Design, Conditions Under Which Generic Questionnaires Are Not Sensible or Valid, Utility Evidence Hierarchy, Utility Data Searching, Modeling Utility Values, Extrapolating Quality Adjusted Life-Years for Models With Lifetime Horizons, Caregiver Utility, Utility Data Synthesis, Quality/Certainty of the Evidence, and Utility Estimates in End-of-Life Conditions.\ud \ud \ud \ud Conclusions\ud \ud The goal of this project is to create unified national standards for using utility metrics in economic analysis in Brazil. This set of recommendations is not obligatory, but it is meant to serve as a guide and lead to the development of better and more transparent economic models in the country.

Schizophrenia is a chronic debilitating condition characterized by disorders in thought, affect and behavior. Considering the low effectiveness of antipsychotic drugs for schizophrenia and the potentially high cost of an inadequate choice, a systematic cost-effectiveness evaluation of the list of subsidized antipsychotic drugs is necessary in order to allow an adequate choice of pharmacotherapy for the patient and the financial reality of the Brazilian public health system (SUS).The aims of this study are to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of the subsidized antipsychotic drugs for the first-line treatment of schizophrenia in Brazil and aripiprazole, and to discuss a reasonable incorporation price for aripiprazole.A three-year Markov model with quarterly cycles was developed in TreeAge Pro® 2009 to assess the cost-effectiveness of six listed oral antipsychotic drugs for the first-line treatment of schizophrenia in the Brazilian public health system (haloperidol, chlorpromazine, risperidone, quetiapine, ziprasidone, and olanzapine) and oral aripiprazole. Outcomes were measured in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Reasonable prices for aripiprazole were calculated based on the placement of the drug in the efficiency frontier and the cost-effectiveness ratio of the most efficient comparator.Olanzapine was considered cost-effective adopting any threshold value. If me-too drugs are required to be least as efficient as the comparators, olanzapine would still be cost-effective under 0.031 USD/mg. Aripiprazole was absolutely dominated by risperidone. The sensitivity analysis showed important uncertainty, which was expected. There is, nevertheless, a prominent separation between ziprasidone, quetiapine and the efficiency frontier. Aripiprazole was not considered cost-effective even when its price was set at zero: CER = USD 4,102 vs. USD 3,945 (haloperidol), USD 3,616 (chlorpromazine), USD 3,646 (risperidone) and USD 3,752 (olanzapine) USD/QALY.Olanzapine was considered the most cost-effective drug for the first-line treatment of schizophrenia in Brazil. Aripiprazole was dominated by risperidone and was not considered cost-effective against olanzapine.This work demonstrated, using a price adjustment process, that there is no viable price that would make aripiprazole cost-effective for incorporation in the Brazilian public health system in the first-line of treatment of schizophrenia. The drug can be useful in specific cases, since individual variability of response to antipsychotic drugs is important.

Introduction. Health utilities are widely used in health care. The distributions of utilities differ between countries; some countries more often report worse than dead health states, while mild states are valued more or less the same. We hypothesize that cultural values explain these country-related utility differences. Research Question. What is the effect of sociodemographic background, methodological factors, and cultural values on differences in health utilities? Methods and Analyses. Time tradeoff data from 28 EQ-5D valuation studies were analyzed, together with their sociodemographic variables. The dependent variable was (Formula presented.), the utility difference between mild and severe states. Country-specific cultural variables were taken from the World Values Survey. Multilevel models were used to analyze the effect of sociodemographic background, methodology (3L v. 5L), and cultural values on (Formula presented.). Intraclass correlation (ICC) for country variation was used to assess the impact of the predicting variables on the variation between countries. Results. Substantial variation in (Formula presented.) was found between countries. Adding cultural values did not reduce ICCs for country variation. Sociodemographic background variables were only weakly associated with (Formula presented.) and did not affect the ICC. (Formula presented.) was 0.118 smaller for EQ-5D-5L studies. Discussion. (Formula presented.) varies between countries. These differences were not explained by national cultural values. In conclusion, despite correction for various variables, utility differences between countries remain substantial and unexplained. This justifies the use of country-specific value sets for instruments such as the EQ-5D. Fil: Roudijk, Bram. Radboud University Medical Center; Países Bajos Fil: Donders, A. Rogier T..

Resumo O artigo avalia a linha de cuidado de uma coorte de 260 indivíduos com diabetes mellitus e 295 indivíduos com hipertensão arterial sistêmica antes, durante e após a implantação do Laboratório de Inovações na Atenção às Condições Crônicas (LIACC). Essa intervenção buscou fortalecer a atenção primária à saúde, implantando o modelo de atenção às condições crônicas no município de Santo Antônio do Monte, Minas Gerais, Brasil, entre 2013 e 2014. Trata-se de um estudo observacional longitudinal que utiliza informações clínicas e laboratoriais dos prontuários dos pacientes dessas duas condições crônicas entre 2012 e 2017. Os desfechos avaliados foram baseados nas linhas guias da Secretaria de Estado de Saúde de Minas Gerais. Os resultados evidenciam o LIACC associado à universalização de macroprocessos da atenção primária, como o cadastramento e a classificação do risco familiar. Para pacientes com diabetes houve melhora em diversos marcadores no período, como o aumento da realização de consulta (de 90% em 2012 para 92% em 2017) e diminuição dos pacientes com exames fora das faixas de normalidade. Já para indivíduos com hipertensão, mesmo sendo observado um crescimento acentuado da realização de consultas (de 80% em 2012 para 84% em 2017), as melhorias clínicas foram menos evidentes. Conclui-se que o LIACC se configura como uma promissora intervenção para a melhoria do manejo de pacientes com doenças crônicas na atenção primária à saúde. Abstract This article evaluates the care of a cohort of 260 individuals with diabetes and 295 individuals with hypertension before, during and after the implementation of the Innovative Care Laboratory for Chronic Conditions (LIACC). This intervention sought to strengthen Primary Health Care by implementing the Chronic Care Model in Santo Antônio do Monte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, between 2013 and 2014. This is a longitudinal observational study that uses clinical and laboratory information from medical records of patients with these two chronic conditions between 2012 and 2017. The outcomes evaluated were based on the guidelines of the Department of Health of Minas Gerais State. The results show the LIACC associated with the universalization of primary care macro-processes such as registration and classification of family risk. For patients with diabetes, there was an improvement in several markers in the period, such as increased consultation (from 90% in 2012 to 92% in 2017) and a decrease in patients with examinations outside the normal range. For individuals with hypertension, although there is a marked increase in medical appointments (from 80% in 2012 to 84% in 2017), clinical improvements were less evident. It can be concluded that LIACC is a promising intervention to improve the management of patients with chronic diseases in Primary Health Care.

BackgroundChagas disease (CD) is a neglected disease affecting millions worldwide, yet little is known about its economic burden. This systematic review is part of RAISE project, a broader study that aims to estimate the global prevalence, mortality, and health and economic burden attributable to chronic CD and Chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy. The objective of this study was to assess the main costs associated with the treatment of CD in both endemic and non-endemic countries.MethodsAn electronic search of the Medline, Lilacs, and Embase databases was conducted until 31st, 2022, to identify and select economic studies that evaluated treatment costs of CD. No restrictions on place or language were made. Complete or partial economic analyses were included.ResultsFifteen studies were included, with two-thirds referring to endemic countries. The most commonly investigated cost components were inpatient care, exams, surgeries, consultation, drugs, and pacemakers. However, significant heterogeneity in the estimation methods and presentation of data was observed, highlighting the absence of standardization in the measurement methods and cost components. The most common component analyzed using the same metric was hospitalization. The mean annual hospital cost per patient ranges from $25.47 purchasing power parity US dollars (PPP-USD) to $18,823.74 PPP-USD, and the median value was $324.44 PPP-USD. The lifetime hospital cost per patient varies from $209,44 PPP-USD for general care to $14,351.68 PPP-USD for patients with heart failure.DiscussionDespite the limitations of the included studies, this study is the first systematic review of the costs of CD treatment. The findings underscore the importance of standardizing the measurement methods and cost components for estimating the economic burden of CD and improving the comparability of cost components magnitude and cost composition analysis. Finally, assessing the economic burden is essential for public policies designed to eliminate CD, given the continued neglect of this disease.

Este artigo explora a equivalência entre três métodos de aferição de preferências por estados de saúde: Ranking, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) e Time Trade-off (TTO). As preferências são utilizadas em avaliações de tecnologias em saúde. Utilizando dados de um estudo de avaliação com base no sistema descritivo EQ-5D, em Minas Gerais, realiza-se a transformação das informações ordinais em cardinais por meio do modelo logit condicional. Os resultados mostram que apesar da ordenação das preferências ser similar entre os três métodos analisados, diferenças expressivas na magnitude dos valores são observadas, com consequências importantes para a tomada de decisões quanto à alocação de recursos em saúde. This paper aims to analyze the equivalence between three valuation methods for eliciting health states preferences: Ranking, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Time Trade-off (TTO). Preferences are used in health technology assessment. Data come from a survey in Minas Gerais using the EQ-5D descriptive system. The transformation of ordinal preferences into cardinal preferences was performed using the conditional logit model. The results show that despite the ranking of preferences to be similar among the three methods, significant differences in values are observed and play important consequences for making decision regarding allocation of health resources.

Neste trabalho investiga-se a estrutura de mercado do setor de planos e seguros de saúde no Brasil, considerando a dimensão relacionada à concentração de ofertantes. Para analisar a concentração do mercado de planos de saúde, faz-se necessário delimitar o mercado relevante nas dimensões produto e geográfica. Utiliza-se aqui uma metodologia para definição de mercado geográfico de planos de saúde no Brasil baseada nos modelos gravitacionais. No Brasil, a utilização de uma metodologia alternativa à fronteira geopolítica como critério de definição da dimensão geográfica pode ser complementar, haja vista a heterogeneidade geopolítica e socioeconômica do país. Nesse sentido, propõe-se que a área de mercado seja definida através do fluxo de relações de troca (consumo). Esse fluxo de relações depende da oferta de serviços, da demanda potencial e da distância entre a oferta de serviços e o local de residência. A parametrização do modelo é realizada a partir das informações de utilização de serviços hospitalares na rede pública proveniente dos registros de autorização de internação hospitalar (AIH). A aplicação empírica é realizada para o Brasil utilizando os dados de registros das operadoras de planos de saúde e seguros-saúde disponibilizados pela ANS para junho de 2007 e para janeiro de 2010. Do ponto de vista empírico, os resultados encontrados neste trabalho evidenciam a presença de um mercado concentrado em algumas áreas, sendo os mercados de planos coletivos menos concentrados que os de planos individuais. Competition in the Health Insurance system in Brazil :: In this paper we investigate the concentration in health insurance sector in Brazil. In order to conduct this analysis it is necessary to establish the definition of relevant market in product and geographical dimensions. In this paper we apply a methodology based on gravitation models to define the geographical market. Till now the concentration analysis was performed in Brazil using geopolitical boundaries as the market definition. This alternative methodology should be better than Geopolitical boundaries once Brazil is specially large and heterogeneous country. We assume that health services are locally demanded and supplied. In that manner the market area is defined by the flow of trade. This flow is conditioned on health services supply, potential demand and friction variables. The empirical analysis was conducted using database sourced by the National Health Insurance Agency in Brazil – Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS) – to 2007 and 2010. We analyzed the competition structure performing concentration indexes. Our results point out that health insurance sector in Brazil is concentrated.

Resumo Introdução Este trabalho discute a possibilidade de utilização de informações sobre a vacinação infantil reportada pelas mães em inquéritos domiciliares para a construção de indicadores de cobertura vacinal no Brasil. Objetivo Avaliar o potencial das informações declaradas pelas mães sobre a imunização das crianças em inquéritos domiciliares como uma fonte para o cálculo do indicador de cobertura vacinal. Método Analisaram-se os indicadores de confiabilidade (precisão) e validade (concordância) entre as informações disponíveis nos cartões de vacina das crianças menores de 2 anos e as informações reportadas pelas mães em pesquisas domiciliares realizadas nos anos de 2013 e 2015 no município de Santo Antônio do Monte, Minas Gerais. Resultados O principal resultado mostra que, em um contexto de alta cobertura, as mães tendiam a informar sobre a vacinação de seus filhos de forma aleatória, ou seja, informações reportadas pelas mães apresentavam baixa validade. Conclusão Embora a coleta de informações dos cartões de vacina das crianças seja um procedimento mais custoso, essa é a forma mais adequada e confiável de se mensurar a cobertura vacinal no contexto brasileiro.

Introdução: Apenas uma pequena parte dos novos fármacos é realmente inovadora; 85-90% de todas as novas tecnologias em saúde tem pequena ou nenhuma vantagem sobre as alternativas terapêuticas existentes. As avaliações econômicas em saúde podem ser utilizadas para induzir preços aceitáveis para novas tecnologias. OBJETIVO: Esse trabalho discute um valor de limiar de custo-efetividade (LCE) a ser aplicado para a regulação de preços de tecnologias substitutas e apresenta a aplicação do método na avaliação de custo-efetividade (ACE) do aripiprazol para esquizofrenia. Métodos: Um modelo de Markov com horizonte temporal de três anos e ciclos trimestrais foi desenvolvido em TreeAgePro® 2009 para ACE entre haloperidol, clorpromazina, risperidona, quetiapina, ziprasidona, olanzapina e aripiprazol para esquizofrenia. Considerando que tecnologias substitutas adicionam pequenos benefícios marginais em inovação ou considerações éticas ao sistema, não faz sentido permitir perda de eficiência para sua incorporação. O valor máximo do LCE (k) está relacionado ao preço máximo que o medicamento pode adotar e há um limiar (b) associado ao preço de equilíbrio em mercado competitivo. Não há razão para acreditarmos que o mercado farmacêutico oligopolista cobra preços no valor de equilíbrio. Dessa forma, quando a razão de custo-efetividade (RCE) do comparador é menor que k, pode-se demonstrar que é uma estimativa plausível para o LCE que cumpre com o objetivo de aumentar o benefício do consumidor, garantindo ao produtor parte do excedente combinado. Para determinação do resultado do estudo, a RCE da tecnologia mais eficiente foi utilizada como LCE. Foi conduzida uma análise de sensibilidade univariada no preço do aripiprazol para avaliar o preço máximo recomendável para incorporação do medicamento. Resultados: A clorpromazina foi o medicamento mais eficiente observado (RCE=$7.320 BRL/AVAQ). A olanzapina, medicamento mais efetivo, pode ser considerada custo-efetiva se seu preço for inferior a ≈$0,0628 BRL/mg. Esse preço é plausível dado que existem valores de compra inferiores registrados nas bases do governo. O aripiprazol, a quetiapina e a ziprasidona foram dominadas. A análise de sensibilidade mostra incerteza importante no modelo. Há, no entanto, uma separação proeminente entre ziprasidona, quetiapina e a fronteira de eficiência. O aripiprazol, mesmo com o preço definido em zero, proporcionou valores mais altos de RCE que os outros medicamentos não dominados: $8.303 vs. $7.985 (haloperidol), $7.320 (clorpromazina), $7.380 (risperidona) e $7.594 (olanzapina) BRL/AVAQ. Conclusão: A olanzapina foi considerada potencialmente o medicamento mais custo-efetivo para o tratamento da esquizofrenia e não existe preço viável que faça o aripiprazol recomendável para incorporação em primeira linha no Sistema Único de Saúde. O método proposto é capaz de auxiliar na incorporação e precificação de tecnologias substitutas.

Introdução: A coledocolitíase, cálculos no ducto biliar comum (DBC), está presente em 5 a 20% dos pacientes que possuem colelitíase. O tratamento envolve a remoção da vesícula biliar, através de cirurgia, assim como a remoção dos cálculos desse ducto. A colecistectomia laparoscópica (CL) é a intervenção de escolha para a remoção da vesícula biliar na maioria dos casos. Os cálculos do DBC são retirados principalmente por colangiopancreatografia retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE) ou exploração laparoscópica do ducto biliar comum (ELDBC). OBJETIVO: Avaliar a eficácia, segurança e custo-efetividade da CL+CPRE comparada à CL+ELDBC para colelitíase associada à coledocolitíase. Métodos: Foi realizada uma busca eletrônica nas bases de dados Medline, Cochrane Library, Lilacs e Center for Reviews and Dissemination por revisões sistemáticas e estudos econômicos que reportassem dados sobre a comparação entre a CPRE e a ELDBC em pacientes com coledocolitíase. Uma busca complementar foi realizada nas referências dos estudos incluídos, periódicos, resumos de congresso e Google Acadêmico. A seleção e coleta dos dados foi realizada por dois pesquisadores independentes. Além da síntese qualitativa, uma ressíntese quantitativa para os desfechos primários foi conduzida em Review Manager® 5.3 utilizando um modelo de efeitos randômicos. As metanálises que tiveram I2

During the 6-year study using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) U.S. National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care-associated infection (DA-HAI), we collected prospective data from 605,310 patients hospitalized in the INICC's ICUs for an aggregate of 3,338,396 days. Although device utilization in the INICC's ICUs was similar to that reported from ICUs in the U.S. in the CDC's NHSN, rates of device-associated nosocomial infection were higher in the ICUs of the INICC hospitals: the pooled rate of central line-associated bloodstream infection in the INICC's ICUs, 4.9 per 1,000 central line days, is nearly 5-fold higher than the 0.9 per 1,000 central line days reported from comparable U. S. ICUs. The overall rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia was also higher (16.8 vs 1.1 per 1,000 ventilator days) as was the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (5.5 vs 1.3 per 1,000 catheter days). Frequencies of resistance of Pseudomonas isolates to amikacin (42.8% vs 10%) and imipenem (42.4% vs 26.1%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates to ceftazidime (71.2% vs 28.8%) and imipenem (19.6% vs 12.8%) were also higher in the INICC's ICUs compared with the ICUs of the CDC's NHSN.

Objetivo: Revisão sobre a eficácia e segurança da autotransfusão intraoperatória durante cirurgias cardíacas. Método: Um overview da literatura foi conduzido. As bases de dados Medline, The Cochrane Library, Lilacs e CRD foram utilizadas para identificar reviões sistemáticas que compararam a autotransfusão intraoperatória com o tratamento padrão em pacientes submetidos a cirurgias cardíacas. Não foi feita restrição de data, local ou idioma. A qualidade foi avaliada com o método AMSTAR. Resultados: Cinco estudos foram incluídos. Não foi observado benefício significativo com o uso dos sistemas de autotransfusão intraoperatória em termos de desfechos finais (e. g. morte, infarto, AVE, reoperação por sangramento, infecções) em pacientes cardíacos, apesar de tamanhos razoáveis de amostra. Também não foi observado benefício significativo no risco de exposição e volume transfundido de plasma fresco congelado ou plaquetas. A maior parte dos estudos considerou a autotransfusão efetiva em reduzir o risco de transfusão de hemácias. Entretanto, a metanálise mais recente observou que esse efeito é dependente de estudos antigos. Quando foi feita uma análise de subgrupo considerando apenas estudos recentes, o efeito positivo na transfusão de hemácias desapareceu. A qualidade das revisões sistemáticas foi considerada razoável. Conclusão: Os benefícios da autotransfusão intraoperatória em termos de desfechos finais, ou mesmo desfechos intermediários, não foi demonstrada. Portanto, uma recomendação de incorporação da tecnologia para cirurgias cardíacas não é razoável. Existe, entretanto, a necessidade de uma metanálise atualizada que inclua toda a evidência e análises de subgrupo relevantes à decisão.

The joint provision of efficient and equitable healthcare service delivery is a critical factor in improving social welfare. However, healthcare services pose a particular challenge when balancing healthcare provider efficiency and equity. Typically characterized by economies of scale and scope, inpatient care involves a wide variety of medical care that usually demands a broad range of health professional expertise and technological complexity to ensure health care quality. This study analyzes the current spatial organization of the Brazilian general hospitals and their respective flow of patients to identify the possible benefits of closing inefficient hospitals. We studied how inpatient care referrals may be reallocated without increasing access inequities following the potential closure of inefficient public hospitals. We used data from the Brazilian Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SIH/SUS) and the Brazilian National Register of Health Establishments (CNES). The smallest and least efficient hospitals were selected as units for potential closure, conditioned on an optimization criterion that minimizes patient travel distances to the nearest efficient hospital. Our results show that there is room for hospital resource reorganization in Brazil without compromising health care access equity.

Family Health Strategy, the primary health care program in Brazil, has been scaled up throughout the country, but its expansion has been heterogeneous across municipalities. We investigate if there are unique municipal characteristics that can explain the timing of uptake and the pattern of expansion of the Family Health Strategy from years 1998 to 2012. We categorized municipalities in six groups based on the relative speed of the Family Health Strategy uptake and the pattern of Family Health Strategy coverage expansion. We assembled data for 11 indicators for years 2000 and 2010, for 5,507 municipalities, and assessed differences in indicators across the six groups, which we mapped to examine spatial heterogeneities. Important factors differentiating early and late adopters of the Family Health Strategy were supply of doctors and population density. Sustained coverage expansion was related mainly to population size, marginal benefits of the program and doctors’ supply. The uptake was widespread nationwide with no distinct patterns among regions, but highly heterogeneous at the state and municipal level. The Brazilian experience of expanding primary health care offers three lessons in relation to factors influencing diffusion of primary health care. First, the funding mechanism is critical for program implementation, and must be accompanied by ways to support the supply of primary care physicians in low density areas. Second, in more developed and bigger areas the main challenge is lack of incentives to pursue universal coverage, especially due to the availability of private insurance. Third, population size is a crucial element to guarantee coverage sustainability over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

FAMILY health ,MEDICAL care ,PUBLIC health ,ECONOMIC development - Abstract
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving UHC will require strong health systems to promote and deliver equitable and integrated healthcare services through primary healthcare (PHC). In Brazil, the Family Health Strategy (FHS) delivers PHC through the public health system. Created in 1994, the FHS covered almost 123 million individuals (63% of the Brazilian population) by 2015. The FHS has been associated with many health improvements, but gaps in coverage still remain. This article examines factors associated with the implementation and expansion of the FHS across 5419 Brazilian municipalities from 1998 to 2012. The proportion of the municipal population covered by the FHS over time was assessed using a longitudinal multilevel model for change that accounted for variables covering eight domains: economic development, healthcare supply, healthcare needs/access, availability of other sources of healthcare, political context, geographical isolation, regional characteristics and population size. Data were obtained from multiple publicly available sources. During the 15-year study period, national coverage of the FHS increased from 4.4% to 54%, with 58% of the municipalities having population coverage of 95% or more, and municipalities that had not adopted the programme decreased from 86.4% to 4.9%. The increase in FHS uptake and coverage was not homogenous across municipalities, and was positively associated with small population size, low population density, low coverage of private health insurance, low level of economic development, alignment of the political party of the Mayor and the state Governor, and availability of healthcare supply. Efforts to expand the FHS coverage will need to focus on increasing the availability of health personnel, devising financial incentives for municipalities to uptake/expand the FHS and devising new policies that encompass both private and public sectors.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar as características operacionais da cintilografia com 99mTc-Tetrofosmin durante episódio de dor torácica para descartar o diagnóstico de infarto agudo do miocárdio. MÉTODOS: 108 pacientes admitidos com dor torácica ou até quatro horas do término dos sintomas e eletrocardiograma não diagnostico realizaram cintilografia em repouso e dosagens de troponina I. Pacientes com passado de infarto do miocárdio (IM) não foram excluídos (24 pacientes). Troponina I foi dosada na admissão e seis horas após. Médicos nucleares realizaram análise cega das imagens. Infarto do miocárdio foi confirmado com elevação da troponina I maior que três vezes o controle. RESULTADOS: A imagem perfusional de repouso foi anormal em todos os seis pacientes com IM. Apenas um paciente apresentou imagem normal e elevação da troponina. Outros 55 pacientes obtiveram imagem positiva sem IM e 46 pacientes com imagens e troponinas normais. A prevalência da doença foi 6,5%. A sensibilidade da imagem de repouso durante dor torácica para a evidência de IM foi 85,7% e especificidade de 45,5%. O valor preditivo negativo foi 97,7%. CONCLUSÃO: Pacientes submetidos ao protocolo de dor torácica com cintilografia de perfusão miocárdica demonstraram um excelente valor preditivo negativo para afastar o diagnóstico de infarto do miocárdio. Estes resultados sugerem que a imagem de perfusão em repouso é uma ferramenta importante na unidade de dor torácica.

Although cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of morbimortality in Brazil, the access of small-town populations to electrocardiography and cardiology assessment is limited. The use of telecardiology to assist the access of distant towns to electrocardiography and a second opinion in cardiology is promising; however, it has not been formally assessed.To assess the feasibility of implementing a low-cost public telecardiology system in small Brazilian towns.A total of 82 towns in the state of Minas Gerais, with a population10,500 inhabitants, presenting70% coverage by the Family Health Program (Programa Saude da Familia-PSF), local government compliance and internet access, were selected. Each town was supplied with digital electrocardiography (ECG) device and a team was trained. The implementation was coordinated by HC/UFMG, together with four university hospitals in the state of Minas Gerais (UFU, UFTM, UFJF and UNIMONTES). The ECG assessments were carried out in the towns and sent through the Internet for prompt analysis by an on-duty telecardiology team. Online and offline discussions on the medical cases were carried out through the Internet, as well as refreshment courses.During the implementation period, a total of 253 health professionals were trained. From July 2006 to November 2008, the project assisted 42,664 patients, with a total of 62,865 ECG assessments being performed. A total of 2,148 emergency cases were treated, as well as 420 teleconsultations. The intermediate evaluation showed good acceptance of the implemented technology and a 70% decrease in patient referrals to other reference centers.The use of the customary resources in informatics to assist the access of small-town populations to electrocardiography and specialized cardiology assessment is feasible.

Images of myocardial perfusion taken during an episode of chest pain have been used for patients in the emergency department.To evaluate the operating characteristics of 99mTc-Tetrofosmin scintigraphy during an episode of chest pain to exclude the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.One hundred and eight patients admitted with chest pain, or up to four hours after the end of symptoms and nondiagnostic electrocardiogram, underwent resting scintigraphy and measurement of troponin I concentrations. Patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) were not excluded (24 patients). Troponin I concentrations were determined at admission and 6 hours later. Nuclear physicians performed a blind analysis of the images, and myocardial infarction was confirmed whenever troponin I level increase was three times that of the control.Resting perfusion image was abnormal in all 6 patients with MI. Only 1 patient had a normal image and increased troponin levels. Fifty-five patients had positive images without MI, and 46 patients had normal images and troponin levels. The prevalence of the disease was 6.5%. The sensitivity and specificity of the resting images during an episode of chest pain to diagnose MI was 85.7% and 45.5%, respectively. The negative predictive value was 97.7%.Patients undergoing chest pain protocol with SPECT showed an excellent negative predictive value to exclude diagnosis of myocardial infarction. These results suggest that resting perfusion image is an important tool at the chest pain unit.
