OBJETIVO: Analisar os padrões de distribuição espacial da mortalidade neonatal. MÉTODOS: Estudo ecológico e exploratório, utilizando técnicas de análise espacial dos dados de mortalidade neonatal no Vale do Paraíba paulista, nos anos 1999-2001. A análise estatística espacial utilizou uma base de dados georreferenciados de 35 municípios e rotinas de estatística espacial. Os dados de mortalidade foram obtidos na Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo. As variáveis estudadas foram os coeficientes de mortalidade neonatal precoce, tardia e total, e o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano relativos ao ano de 2000. Para avaliação da dependência espacial foram utilizados os coeficientes de autocorrelação de Moran global e o Índice de Moran local e analisadas as correlações entre as variáveis. RESULTADOS: Foram registrados 111.574 nascidos vivos, com 1.149 óbitos no período neonatal precoce (10,29/1.000 nascidos vivos), 285 no neonatal tardio (2,55/1.000 nascidos vivos) totalizando 1.434 óbitos no período neonatal (12,85/1.000 nascidos vivos). Os coeficientes de Moran (global) mostraram significância estatística (p<0,05) para as mortalidades neonatal precoce e neonatal total. Os índices locais mostraram agrupamentos de municípios onde ocorre dependência espacial na ocorrência das mortalidades precoce e total. CONCLUSÕES: A análise espacial permitiu identificar aglomerado espacial no médio Vale do Paraíba tanto para a mortalidade neonatal precoce como para a neonatal total.
Este estudo avalia a evasão em um curso de especialização em Gestão em Saúde. O método de estudo de caso foi conduzido por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com alunos evadidos e análise documental. Os resultados apontaram que a evasão foi um processo bastante heterogêneo e provocado por vários motivos, entre eles, dificuldades em relação ao uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação adotadas em cursos a distância, e de conciliar os estudos com trabalho e/ou família, além da baixa interação alunotutor-professor. Foi possível concluir que a evasão pode ser minimizada por meio de ações voltadas aos fatores modificáveis, como: a capacitação de tutores e professores e implantação de estratégias pedagógicas visando reduzir as dificuldades no uso de tecnologias de informação e comunicação.
Objective:To describe variation in incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer (CC), between 4 Southern European countries that share similar cultural characteristics.Methods:Data on CC incidence and mortality reported in Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece for the year 2012 were obtained through the International Agency of Research on Cancer. Expected numbers of incident cases and deaths were obtained based on age-specific rates in European region. Standardized incidence rate (SIR) and standardized mortality rate (SMR) and respective 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were computed for each country by age group (15–39, 40–54, 55–64, and ≥65 years old).Results:The number of incident cases of and deaths due to CC observed in Greece, Italy, and Spain were significantly lower than expected, whichever the age group. In Portugal such pattern was, however, only found for incident cases among women aged up to 54 years. The number of incident cases observed in Portugal did not differ from that expected among women aged 55 to 64 (SIR = 90.8; 95% CI: 76.8–106.7) and aged 65 or more years (SIR = 110.0; 95% CI: 95.9–125.0). Also, the number of deaths observed in Portugal did not differ from that expected among women aged 15 to 39 (SMR = 70.0; 95% CI: 43.3–100.8), 40 to 54 (SMR = 93.6; 95% CI: 74.9–115.4), and 55 to 64 years (SMR = 93.6; 95% CI: 73.4–117.7) but was significantly higher than that expected among women aged 65 or more years (SMR = 126.7; 95% CI: 110.1–144.4).Conclusions:There is variability in CC incidence and mortality between 4 South European countries. To understand the reasons underlying such variability could improve approach to preventive care.
OBJECTIVE: To elaborate and validate an instrument on barriers and enablers to deprescribing benzodiazepines in the patient’s perspective. METHODS: This study was conducted in 3 stages: (1) a methodological stage, (2) a semi-structured pilot interview with 25 older adults undergoing clonazepam deprescribing, and (3) content validation with the Delphi technique. Content validation was performed by 50 specialists with degrees and/or experience with primary health care and/or health care of older adults, such as physicians, pharmacists, and nurses. For evaluating the obtained results, we analyzed the concordance of evaluations with the coefficient of content validity (CCV). We considered values equal to or higher than 0.8 as acceptable levels of concordance. RESULTS: The instrument was considered validated in the first round of evaluation, where all items obtained a CCV of more than 0.8 in the specialists’ assessment. Nevertheless, they proposed improvements that were incorporated to the final version of the questionnaire. CONCLUSION: The instrument represents an important tool to be used by health care professionals for optimizing benzodiazepine deprescribing, with suitable levels of clarity and validity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
