Abstract

Objective To explore the presence and magnitude of--and change in--socioeconomic and health inequalities between and within Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa--the countries known as BRICS--between 1990 and 2010. Methods Comparable data on socioeconomic and health indicators, at both country and primary subnational levels, were obtained from publicly available sources. Health inequalities between and within countries were identified and summarized by using standard gap and gradient metrics. Findings Four of the BRICS countries showed increases in both income level and income inequality between 1990 and 2010. The exception was Brazil, where income inequality decreased over the same period. Between-country inequalities in level of education and access to sanitation remained mostly unchanged but the largest between-country difference in mean life expectancy increased, from 9 years in 1990 to 20 years in 2010. Throughout the study period, there was disproportionality in the burden of disease between BRICS. However, the national infant mortality rate fell substantially over the study period in all five countries. In Brazil and China, the magnitude of subnational income-related Inequalities in infant mortality, both absolute and relative, also decreased substantially. Conclusion Despite the economic prosperity and general improvements in health seen since 1990, profound inequalities in health persist both within and between BRICS. However, the substantial reductions observed--within Brazil and China--in the inequalities in income-related levels of infant mortality are encouraging. Objectif Etudier la presence et l'importance--et les variations--des inegalites sodoeconomiques et sanitaires entre et a l'interleur du Bresil, de la Federatlon de Russle, de linde, de la Chine et de l'Afrique du Sud les pays connus sous le nom de BRICS--entre 1990 et 2010. Methodes Des donnees comparables sur les indicateurs socioeconomiques et sanitaires, a la fols aux niveaux national et infranational primaire, ont ete tirees de sources accessibles au public. Les inegalites sanitaires entre et a l'interieur des pays ont ete identifiees et synthetisees a l'aide des ecarts types et des mesures de gradient. Resultats Quatre pays du groupe BRICS ont montre des augmentations a la fois du niveau des revenus et des inegalites des revenus entre 1990 et 2010. L'exception a ete le Bresil, oii l'inegalite des revenus a diminue sur la meme periode. Les inegalites entre les pays dans le niveau de l'education et l'acces aux installations sanitaires n'ont pratiquement pas change, mais la difference la plus marquee entre les pays dans l'esperance de vie moyenne a augmente, passant de 9 ans en 1990 a 20 ans en 2010. Sur toute la periode de l'etude, la charge de morbidite etait disproportionnee entre les pays du groupe BRICS. Cependant, le taux national de mortalite infantile a considerablement chute pendant la periode d'etude dans l'ensemble des 5 pays. Au Bresil et en Chine, l'importance des inegalites infranationales en matiere de mortalite infantile, a la fols absolue et relative, qul sont liees aux revenus, a egalement considerablement diminue. Conclusion Malgre la prosperite economique et les ameliorations generales en matiere de sante observees depuis 1990, de profondes inegalites en matiere de sante persistent a la fols entre et a l'interleur des pays du groupe BRICS. Cependant, les importantes diminutions observees dans les inegalites--a l'interieur du Bresil et de la Chine -en matiere de taux de mortalite infantile, qui sont liees aux revenus, sont encourageantes. Objetivo Explorarla presencia y magnitud, asi como los cambios en las desigualdades socioeconomicas y sanitarias entre y dentro de Brasil, la Federacion de Rusia, India, China y Sudafrica, los paises conocidos como BRICS, entre 1990 y 2010. Metodos Se analizaron fuentes accesibles al publico para obtener datos comparables sobre los indicadores socioeconomicos y de salud tanto a nivel nacional como subnacional primario. Se identificaron y resumieron las desigualdades sanitarias entre paises con ayuda de metricas de brecha estandar y de gradiente. Resultados Cuatro de los paises BRICS mostraron incrementos tanto a nivel de ingresos como de desigualdad de ingresos entre 1990 y 2010. La excepcion fue Brasil, donde la desigualdad de ingresos se redujo en el mismo periodo. Las desigualdades entre los paises a nivel educativo y de acceso a la sanidad permanecieron en su mayoria sin cambios, si bien la diferencia entre paises relativa a la esperanza media de vida mas grande aumento de 9 anos en 1990 a 20 anos en el ano 2010. A lo largo del periodo de estudio se observo una desproporcion en la carga de la enfermedad en los BRICS. Sin embargo, la tasa de mortalidad infantil nacional se redujo sustancialmente durante el periodo de estudio en los cinco paises. En Brasil y China, la magnitud de las desigualdades relacionadas con los ingresos a nivel subnacional en la mortalidad infantil, tanto en terminos absolutos como relativos, tambien se redujo sustancialmente. Conclusion A pesar de la prosperidad economica y la mejora general de la salud que se observa desde 1990, aun persisten desigualdades muy importantes en materia de salud tanto dentro, como entre los paises BRICS. Sin embargo, las reducciones sustanciales de las desigualdades a nivel de ingresos de la mortalidad infantil observadas en Brasil y China son alentadoras., Introduction One of the most pressing issues in the global agenda for health development is the pervasiveness of inequality. The World Economic Forum recently identified widening economic inequality as the [...]

Abstract

Objective In September 2006, a Panamanian physician reported an unusual number of patients with unexplained acute renal failure frequently accompanied by severe neurological dysfunction. Twelve (57%) of 21 patients had died of the illness. This paper describes the investigation into the cause of the illness and the source of the outbreak. Methods Case-control and laboratory investigations were implemented. Case patients (with acute renal failure of unknown etiology and serum creatinine [greater than or equal to] 2 mg/dl) were individually matched to hospitalized controls for age (+ or -] 5 years), sex and admission date ([less than or equal to] 2 days before the case patient). Questionnaire and biological data were collected. The main outcome measure was the odds of ingesting prescription cough syrup in cases and controls. Findings Forty-two case patients and 140 control patients participated. The median age of cases was 68 years (range: 25-91 years); 64% were male. After controlling for pre-existing hypertension and renal disease and the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, a significant association was found between ingestion of prescription cough syrup and illness onset (adjusted odds ratio: 31.0, 95% confidence interval: 6.93-138). Laboratory analyses confirmed the presence of diethylene glycol (DEG) in biological samples from case patients, 8% DEG contamination in cough syrup samples and 22% contamination in the glycerin used to prepare the cough syrup. Conclusion The source of the outbreak was DEG-contaminated cough syrup. This investigation led to the recall of approximately 60 000 bottles of contaminated cough syrup, widespread screening of potentially exposed consumers and treatment of over 100 affected patients. Objectif En septembre 2006, un medecin panameen a signale un nombre inhabituel d'insuffisances renales aigues inexpliquees, s'accompagnant frequemment d'un dysfonctionnement neurologique severe, Douze (57 %) des 21 malades sont morts de cette insuffisance. Le present article decrit l'enquete reatisee sur les causes de la maladie et l'origine de la flambee epidemique. Methodes Une etude cas-temoin et des investigations en laboratoire ont ete menees. Les cas (personnes presentant une insuffisance renale aigue d'etiologie inconnue et un taux de creatinine serique [superieur ou egal a] 2 mg/dl) ont ete apparies individuellement a des temoins hospitalises en fonction de l'age ([+ o-] 5 ans), du sexe et de la date d'admission (2 jours au plus avant la declaration du cas ou plus tard). Un questionnaire et des donnees biologiques ont ete recueillis. La principale mesure de resultat etait l'odds ratio de la prise de sirop antitussif sur prescription par les cas et les temoins. Resultats Quarante-deux cas et 140 temoins ont ete inclus dans l'etude. L'age median des cas etait de 68 ans (plage de variation : 25-91 ans) et 64% d'entre eux etaient des hommes. Apres ajustement pour une hypertension ou une pathologie renale preexistante et pour l'utilisation d'inhibiteurs de l'enzyme de conversion de l'angiotensine, une association importante a ete relevee entre la prise de sirop antitussif soumis a prescription et l'apparition de la maladie (odds ratio ajuste : 31,0, intervalle de confiance a 95% : 6,93-138). Les analyses de laboratoire ont confirme la presence de diethylene glycol (DEG) dans les echantillons biologiques provenant des cas, un taux de contamination par le DEG de 8 % des echantillons de sirop pour la toux et un taux de contamination de 22 % de la glycerine ayant servi a preparer ce sirop. Conclusion L'origine de la flambee etait un sirop antitussif contamine par du DEG. Les investigations ont conduit au rappel d'environ 60 000 flacons de sirop contamine, a un depistage a grande echelle des consommateurs potentiellement exposes et au traitement de plus de 100 patients touches. Objetivo En septiembre de 2006, un medico panameno notifico un numero inhabitual de pacientes aquejados de insuficiencia renal aguda idiopatica, asociada con frecuencia a disfuncion neurologica grave. Doce (57%) de 21 pacientes habian muerto a causa de la enfermedad. Se describe aqui la investigacion realizada para determinar la causa de la enfermedad y la fuente dei brote. Metodos Se Ilevaron a cabo estudios de casos y controles e investigaciones de laboratorio. Los pacientes objeto de estudio (con insuficiencia renal aguda de origen desconocido y creatinina serica [mayor que o iqual a] 2 mg/dl) fueron apareados individualmente con pacientes control hospitalizados considerando la edad ([+ 0-] 5 anos), el sexo y la fecha de ingreso ([menor que o igual a] 2 dias antes o despues del ingreso del paciente estudiado). Se recopilaron dates de cuestionarios y dates biologicos. El criterio principal de valoracion fueron las posibilidades de cases y controles de haber tornado jarabe contra la tos de venta con receta. Resultados Participaron en el estudio 42 cases y 140 controles. La mediana de la edad de los cases fue de 68 anos (intervalo: 25-91 anos); el 64% eran varones. Tras determinar si los pacientes presentaban una historia previa de hipertension y nefropatia y de use de inhibidores de la enzima conversora de la angiotensina, se detecto una relaci6n significativa entre la ingestion de jarabe antitusigeno y la aparicion de la enfermedad (razon de posibilidades (OR) ajustada: 31,0, intervalo de confianza del 95%: 6,93-138). Los analisis de laboratorio confirmaron la presencia de dietilenglicol (DEG) en las muestras biologicas de los pacientes estudiados, con una contaminacion per DEG del 8% en las muestras de jarabe y del 22% en la glicerina utilizada para preparar dicho jarabe. Conclusion La fuente del brote fue el jarabe antitusigeno contaminado per DEG. Esta investigacion Ilevo a retirar aproximadamente 60 000 frascos del jarabe contaminado, realizar un amplio cribado de los consumidores potencialmente expuestos, y tratar a mas de cien pacientes afectados., Introduction Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a colourless and odourless liquid and a human toxicant. It is commonly used in industry and can be found in commercial products such as resins, [...]

Abstract

Los índices descritos en la literatura para medir las desigualdades de salud de carácter social tienen facetas positivas pero también algunas insuficiencias, según las circunstancias de su aplicación. El objetivo de este artículo es proponer y demostrar, en los planos teórico y práctico, las ventajas de las mediciones de la desigualdad basadas en la noción de entropía, conocida ampliamente en la física y la teoría de la información. Se definen y exponen las principales propiedades de los índices basados en las nociones de entropía y redundancia. Se ilustra su aplicación en dos conjuntos de datos ficticios y en datos reales, derivados de los indicadores básicos de salud para las Américas, de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud. Los índices basados en la noción de entropía poseen, entre otras, las siguientes propiedades: a) no varían con los cambios de escala; b) son simétricos; c) incorporan la dimensión social, y d) son fáciles de interpretar gracias a la condición de equivalencia entre la entropía y un sistema con dos clases.

Abstract

La medición de las desigualdades en el campo de la salud es una condición indispensable para avanzar en la mejoría de la situación de salud de la Región, donde el análisis de los valores medios ha dejado de ser suficiente. Este tipo de análisis es una herramienta fundamental para la acción en busca de una mayor equidad en salud. Existen diferentes métodos de medición y niveles de complejidad cuya elección depende del objetivo del estudio. Este artículo tiene como objetivo familiarizar a los profesionales de la salud y a las instancias decisorias con los aspectos metodológicos de la medición y el análisis simple de las desigualdades en el campo de la salud, utilizando datos básicos registrados con regularidad y agregados por unidades geopolíticas. Se presenta la forma de calcular los siguientes indicadores y se comentan sus ventajas y desventajas: la razón y la diferencia de tasas, el índice de efecto, el riesgo atribuible poblacional, el índice de disimilitud, el índice de desigualdad de la pendiente y el índice relativo de desigualdad, el coeficiente de Gini y el índice de concentración. Los métodos presentados son aplicables a la medición de las desigualdades de diferentes tipos y a distintos niveles de análisis.
