title: Evaluative Matrix of Longitudinal Bond in Primary Health Care: validation process held by specialists

description: Abstract Introduction The present study aimed to perform the construct and content validation of the evaluative matrix of longitudinal bond in Primary Health Care. Longitudinal bond is related to positive results of health care and is representative of structuring characteristics of Primary Care in the Unified Health System (SUS). Methodology The validation was held in two stages: on the first stage, the research crew discussed the structuring concepts of the matrix and revised the criteria, indicators and questions; on the second stage, using the Delphi method as a reference, specialists were consulted to analyze and judge the items of the matrix in a conference via web and at a Consensus Workshop. Results Adjustments were made in the first stage and the number of items in the matrix was significantly reduced. In the second stage, specialists agreed on the adjustments made on the format of the matrix, and new items to better represent the model adopted by the SUS were inserted. Conclusion The evaluation improved the matrix, making it more robust in terms of the representativity of the attribute, contributing for its applicability as an evaluative instrument of Primary Health Care in the SUS.

title: Prevalence and factors associated to urinary incontinence in non-institutionalized elderly

description: Abstract Introduction Urinary incontinence is one of the most important geriatric syndromes. However, in clinical practice it seems to be neglected and there are no studies in the North of Minas Gerais. The aim was to identify the prevalence of urinary incontinence and associated factors for each sex among non-institutionalized elderly. Methods A population-based cross-sectional survey conducted in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. The information was analyzed with the program Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 17.0, with descriptive analysis and, subsequently, bivariate analysis and multiple analysis through logistic regression. Results A prevalence of 23.2% was found among elderly men and 31.1% among elderly women. They were associated with urinary incontinence in the elderly: walk with assistance, report of fall in the last year, fragility. Among the elderly women, the associated factors were: negative self-perception of health, arthritis/arthrosis/rheumatism, fragility. Conclusion There was a high prevalence of urinary incontinence in the elderly of both sexes. Individual health conditions factors were associated with the occurrence in each sex, evidencing the need for effective assistance that recognizes such specificities.

title: Factors related to low social participation in older adults: findings from the Fibra study, Brazil

description: Abstract Objective To investigate the factors related to low social participation in older adults. Method A hierarchical model was drawn using data from 2,251 participants of the Fibra study, aged 65 years or more, without cognitive impairment suggestive of dementia, who were living in seven Brazilian cities. Three blocks of variables were considered: macrostructural, socioeconomic and health conditions. Results Factors related to low social participation were low perceived social support (OR:2.18;CI:0.73-1.53; &lt;0.001), vision impairment (OR:2.04; CI:1.16-3.61;0.014), age over 80 years (OR:2.03;CI:1.22-3.38;0.006), depressive symptoms (OR:1.86;CI:1.29-2.68; &lt;0.001), low cognitive status (OR:1.85;CI:1.20-2.85;0.005) and slowness (OR:1.83;CI:1.26-2.65;0.001). Older adults with those conditions have higher odds to be less socially engaged than their counterparts. Conclusion Personal conditions, such as socioeconomic and health status were predictors of low social participation in older adults. Initiatives aiming at active aging promotion should focus primarily on vulnerable elderly, especially those with health and/or social disadvantages.

title: Cervical cancer tracking in Minas Gerais: assessment of data from Cervical Cancer Information System (SISCOLO)

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate the indicators related to cervical cytology, quality, frequency of cellular changes and informed follow-up of high-grade lesions in Minas Gerais and its macro-regions of health. Methods a descriptive study based on data from the Cervical Cancer Information System (SISCOLO) from 2006 to 2011. Results The ratio of cervical cytopathologic exams in women aged 25 to 59 years remained stable, but did not reach the goal set by the state. Approximately 75% of the exams were performed in the target population and there was a progressive reduction in the proportion of cervical cytopathologists without previous cytology. On average, 51.2% of the exams were performed within a year. Regarding the quality of the exam, the positivity index was categorized as low throughout the analyzed period. We observed a low percentage of follow-up reported in the state. Conclusion The results evidenced the need to improve the tracking program regarding the quality of the exam, as well as the correct orientation regarding the age group and the periodicity, aiming to guarantee the target population's access and referral for diagnostic investigation and treatment of precursor lesions, when indicated.

title: Relationship between the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the limitation of activities and restriction of participation for individuals with leprosy

description: Abstract Introduction Leprosy is an infectious disease that can lead to physical disability. The SALSA scale and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) may be useful in the clinical management of these patients. Thus, the objective was to correlate the ICF with the limitation of activity and restriction to participation for individuals with leprosy, using the SALSA scale. Methodology This was an analytical and descriptive cross-sectional observational study, using the SALSA scale, related to mobility, self-care, work and skill domains. After the interview with the patients, the domains were codified by the ICF, using the codes related to activity and participation. Results The sample consisted of 30 individuals, with a mean age of 38.4, the majority being male. The SALSA scale mean score was 36.9 points, presenting a slight limitation of activities. The SALSA scale domains, together with the use of the ICF codes, show a slight to moderate difficulty in the great majority, with significant results (p≤0.05). The mobility domain was the only one to present task with complete difficulty. Conclusion The SALSA scale showed a slight limitation of activity in patients with leprosy, but when related to ICF, there were larger limitations, especially in the mobility domain.

title: Challenges to the drug quality control in Brazil

description: Abstract Introduction Scientific and technological development, as well as the adoption of public policies aiming drugs cost reduction, has broadened the population's access to therapeutic alternatives. These alternatives include generic drugs, biosimilars, nanomedicines and non-biological complexes. Already marketed categories require their own procedures to guarantee their quality, therapeutic efficacy and safety. This article assesses the current Brazilian scenario in this regard, pointing to situations that will surely have to be addressed in a near future. Methodology Data was obtained in the electronic databases MEDLINE, PubMed and SCIELO, searching for original articles, both Portuguese and English, retrospectively indexed back to 1999 using relevant search terms, both in English and in Portuguese. More than 50 scientific articles were found. Results and Discussion Most of the evaluated articles point to problems both in the manufacture and in the control of generic and biosimilar drugs. In fact, scientific publications have proven these problems in the most varied markets including Brazilian. On the other hand, new drug forms are being created and need the development of legislation and specific methodologies to guarantee the quality of these products. An evaluation of the current Brazilian system of registration and quality control points out some flaws and especially the lack of a better structured and active pharmacovigilance in the country. Conclusion The current scenario demonstrates the need of the responsible organs in the country to review the current system and improve it, as well as to prepare for the confrontation with other, even more complex, demands that are already under development.

title: Prevalence of chronic renal disease among Brazilian adults: a systematic review

description: Abstract Introduction Chronic kidney disease is a global public health issue but its prevalence in Brazil remains uncertain. Objective To estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease among Brazilian adults. Methods A systematic review through an electronic literature searches on MEDLINE, Embase, other databases plus microdata from national surveys. Two researchers selected, extracted data, and assessed the quality. Results We included 16 studies: national population-based using self-reported criteria found 4.57% (1998) to 1.43% (2013) prevalence; in those employing hypercreatininemia showed rate of 3.46% in Bambuí (1997) and 3.13% in Salvador (2000). Studies with non-representative samples employed clinical and laboratory criteria and showed higher prevalences: 6.26% in campaigns (2010), 8.94% in public employees (2010), 9.62% in private laboratory’s patients (2003), 27.20% in hospital (2013), and 1.35-10.64% in primary care (2011). Patients on dialysis represent 0.05% of the Brazilian population. Discussion Representative studies did not adequately assess the disease and investigations with better diagnostic criteria had convenience sampling. Heterogeneity across studies hampered the calculation of meta-analysis. Conclusion It was not possible to estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease patients in Brazil due to the heterogeneity of studies included in this review. The prevalence varied according to the diagnostic criteria employed among studies. Considering population criteria, 3-6 million people would have the disease. Roughly 100.000 receive dialysis in Brazil.

title: Spacial conglomerates of mortality by suicide in northeast Brazil and its relationship with socioeconomic indicators

description: Abstract Objective to evaluate the spatial distribution of mortality by suicide in the northeast of Brazil and its relationship with social and economic indicators, seeking to identify the distribution pattern distribution through a geostatistical analysis. Method This is an ecological study that used suicide death data from 2000 to 2014 recorded in the Mortality Information System. Global and local Moran tests were applied for spatial autocorrelation analysis, and the bivariate LISA analysis was used to evaluate the spatial correlation between the suicide mortality rate and the independent variables. Results The results showed that mortality due to suicide in the Northeast has poor spatial autocorrelation (I = 0.2608), although there is strong spatial autocorrelation for most of the analyzed variables. In the spatial bivariate analysis, the variables presented a Moran LISA Index close to zero, such as HDI (I = 0.025), Aging (I = 0.146) and Illiteracy (I = 0.06). Spatial bivariate analysis showed that there is no spatial autocorrelation between socioeconomic variables and standardized mortality rates y suicide. Conclusion It is concluded that suicide mortality in the northeast of Brazil is randomly distributed and has no spatial relationship with socioeconomic variables.
