title: Reliability of treatment outcome for tuberculosis using record linkage

description: The quality of information is crucial in the monitoring and evaluation of control actions of diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). However, studies have pointed out deficiencies in the quality of data obtained by the TB surveillance system. Thus the aim of this study was to analyze the agreement between treatment outcome of the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) and information on the underlying and associated cause of death in the Mortality Information System (SIM). We conducted a probabilistic record linkage with the databases of the SINAN 2006 and the SIM 2006-2008. The accuracy of treatment outcome was analyzed by kappa index. Of the 417 cases closed as death in the SINAN, 88.7% were found in the SIM. Of the 82 cases closed as death from other causes, 42.7% presented TB as the underlying or associated cause in the SIM, while 41.5% did not mention TB. PABAK coefficients revealed excellent agreement between the treatment outcome of death of the SINAN and the presence or absence of TB death in the SIM. We recommend that the states and municipalities that use the linkage between the SINAN and SIM to increase the completeness and consistency of the SINAN-TB search on the SIM, not only for cases without treatment outcome, but also for those discontinued and transferred.

title: Hepatitis B and Anti-HBS vaccination among health workers

description: AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate Hepatitis B vaccination coverage and its associated factors among health workers.MethodologyIt is a cross-sectional study conducted with 506 primary care and medium complexity health workers in a municipality of the ‘Recôncavo’ region of Bahia state, Brazil. A questionnaire was applied to assess the vaccination status for Hepatitis B and the sociodemographic and occupational characteristics of health workers. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to evaluate the factors associated with vaccination.ResultsThe population studied was predominately female (78.3%) composed of individuals with steady employment (63.8%) and who rated themselves in good or very good health (78.1%). The majority reported having received three doses of the vaccine against Hepatitis B (59.9%). Nurses, technicians, and physicians were the most immunized (91.8%). The following factors were associated with self-reported Hepatitis B vaccination: sex, age, educational level, use of individual protection equipment (IPE), and contact with biological material.DiscussionA low coverage of complete Hepatitis B vaccination was observed (59.9%). Health professionals who did not develop an adequate level of antibodies after vaccination should be encouraged to complete a fourth dose (booster).ConsiderationsThose without immunity should be informed of their susceptibility to VHB until they present evidence of immune response. Biosecurity should be incorporated into academic curriculums to create positive attitudes regarding adhesion to vaccination.

title: Adult users’ satisfaction in relation to attention to oral health in the family health strategy

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the levels of satisfaction of the adult users of the municipality of Lauro de Freitas, state of Bahia, Brazil in relation to the oral-health services offered by the Family Health Strategy - ESF. This quantitative, descriptive study applied two validation instruments, the User-Satisfaction-Evaluation Questionnaire in conjunction with the Public Oral-Health Service and one part of the questionnaire from theSB Brasil2010Project. The sample size was 418 individuals, with a sampling-error rate of 5%. The quantitative variables and measurement of central tendencies and dispersion were distributed using the SPSS statistics program. The results demonstrated that most of those interviewed were women (78.2%), African descent (47.0%), and single (46.1%). In terms of the aforementioned oral morbidity, the majority reported the need for odontological treatment (91.4%). 52.5% reported toothache in the previous six months. A high degree of satisfaction was observed in relation to the dimensions of the physical environment, acceptability, efficiency, equality, human relations, and the technical-scientific quality of the equipment. In conclusion, despite the many challenges that persist to improving the quality of the oral-health services of the ESF, the level of satisfaction of adult users was high.

Volumetric water content, bulk electrical conductivity, soil temperature, and bulk dielectric permittivity are recorded every 30 minutes at an automated meteorological station installed at Jornada LTER CSIS Block-10 site. This is an ONGOING dataset.
