ABSTRACT This article aims to evaluate social and health indicators of municipalities according to the rural-urban typology. This is an ecological study that used official publicly accessible data from the 853 municipalities in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Descriptive and bivariate analysis were carried out using Poisson Regression and Kruskal-Wallis Test. 547 (64.12%) are rural municipalities. The highest average of the Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI) was observed among urban municipalities. The highest average coverage of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) was found among rural municipalities. In these municipalities, the best results were shown for the indicators of infant mortality, premature mortality and mortality from preventable causes, vaccine homogeneity and prevalence of malnutrition. The findings of this study show that greater FHS coverage is associated with the occurrence of better general living and health conditions in the populations served in rural municipalities. It is recommended that health managers encourage the consolidation of the FHS in communities with unfavorable socioeconomic and cultural contexts, such as remote rural locations and urban agglomerations, and the establishment of intersectoral actions with a positive impact on health.

RESUMO O presente artigo tem o objetivo de avaliar indicadores sociais e de saúde de municípios conforme a tipologia rural-urbano. Trata-se de estudo ecológico que utilizou dados oficiais de acesso público dos 853 municípios do estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foram conduzidas análises descritivas e bivariadas através da Regressão de Poisson e Teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Do total de municípios, 547 (64,12%) são rurais. A maior média do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal (IDH-M) foi observada entre os municípios urbanos. A maior média de cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) foi verificada entre os municípios rurais, nos quais também foram demonstrados os melhores resultados para os indicadores de mortalidades infantil, prematura e por causas evitáveis, homogeneidade vacinal e prevalência de desnutrição. Os achados deste estudo evidenciam que uma maior cobertura da ESF está associada à ocorrência de melhores condições gerais de vida e de saúde das populações atendidas em municípios de tipologia rural. Recomenda-se aos gestores de saúde o fomento à consolidação da ESF em comunidades com contextos socioeconômicos e culturais desfavoráveis, como localidades rurais remotas e aglomerados urbanos, e o estabelecimento de ações intersetoriais com impacto positivo na saúde.

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with oral health-related quality of life in adolescents (OHRQoL). Individual data on adolescents were collected from a secondary database. OHRQoL was measured using the oral impact on daily performance (OIDP) scale. Individual- and city-level variables were selected to represent the structural and intermediate determinants of health. The individual covariates analyzed were sex, age, skin color, maternal education, household income, number of people per room in the housing unit, dental attendance, self-perception of dental needs, untreated dental caries, and gingival bleeding. The contextual variables included the allocation factor, the Human Development Index (HDI), Gini coefficient, illiteracy, unemployment, income, average number of emergency dental visits per inhabitant, access to a sanitary sewer system, garbage collection, primary health care coverage, oral health team coverage, and number of tooth extractions between selected dental procedures and supervised toothbrushing. Unadjusted and adjusted multilevel Poisson regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between contextual and individual variables with overall OIDP scores (STATA version 16.0) - rate ratio (RR) and 95%CI. The mean OIDP score was 0.72 and the prevalence was 31.8%. There was an association between supervised toothbrushing average and the outcome (RR 0.95; 95%CI 0.91–0.99). Moreover, adolescents who lived in municipalities with the highest average number of emergency dental visits per inhabitant showed a higher OIDP. Sex, maternal education, untreated dental caries, and gingival bleeding were associated with OIDP. In addition, intersectoral public policies focusing on the reduction of social inequalities should be on the agenda of policymakers and stakeholders. healthrelated related OHRQoL. .

Abstract: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) represent the most frequently reported congenital anomaly affecting the craniofacial region. The aim of this study was to assess the output (in number of procedures) of the Brazilian hospitals accredited for the treatment of CLP patients, examine the referral flow of patients requiring this type of care, and ascertain the adequacy of the corresponding infrastructure of these healthcare facilities. Methodologically, the study used an observational, cross-sectional, and ecological design. Output data, categorized by state and macro-region, and patient referral flow records were accessible through the Outpatient Information System (SIA, in its Portuguese acronym) and the Hospital Information System (SIH, in Portuguese), respectively. Infrastructure assessment relied on data sourced from the National Register of Health Establishments (CNES, in Portuguese). Analysis encompassed data from 28 accredited hospitals. Concerning output metrics, the state of São Paulo ranked first in the number of procedures conducted. The establishments exhibiting the lowest output performance comprised six hospitals located in the Southeast region and two in the Center-West region. Examination of patient referral flow corroborated the concentration of procedures predominantly conducted in the Southeast, notably within São Paulo state. Infrastructure evaluation encompassed the following categories: physical facilities, diagnostic and therapeutic support services, equipment, and comprehensive multidisciplinary care services. The data showed that roughly 61% of the hospitals surveyed possessed less than half of the recommended items. The primary deficiency identified pertained to inadequacies in equipment availability. Conversely, the best outcomes were associated with diagnostic and therapeutic support services. It was concluded that enhancing hospital infrastructure is imperative for the amelioration of care provision to patients with CLP across all Brazilian states.

This study examined individual and contextual factors that impact the attainment of objectives set by the Ministry of Health for Special Needs Patients Dentistry (OPNE) in Brazilian Centers for Dental Specialties (CEO). Secondary data from DATASUS and the CEO Access and Quality Improvement Program (PMAQ-CEO) were utilized, encompassing 1013 facilities. Statistical analysis employed Poisson regression and multilevel analysis, with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The findings revealed that CEOs, on average, achieved goals for basic OPNE procedures for six months each year. The Municipal Human Development Index (IDHM) and CEO type exerted an influence on goal attainment, with CEO types II and III displaying a greater likelihood of achieving the goals. The Southeast and South regions exhibited lower chances of achieving the objectives. The scarcity of specialized professionals remains a challenge in the treatment of patients with special needs. In conclusion, in Brazil, CEO type and IDHM are associated with improved CEO performance in attaining goals for the OPNE specialty.

Este estudo analisou variáveis individuais e contextuais que influenciam o cumprimento de metas estabelecidas pelo Ministério da Saúde para a Odontologia para Pacientes com Necessidades Especiais (OPNE) em Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEO) brasileiros. Foram utilizados dados secundários do DATASUS e do Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade dos CEO (PMAQ-CEO), referentes a 1013 estabelecimentos. Realizou-se regressão de Poisson e análise multinível, com intervalo de confiança (IC) de 95%. Os resultados indicaram que os CEO alcançaram as metas para procedimentos básicos em OPNE em média seis meses por ano. O Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal (IDHM) e o tipo de CEO influenciaram o cumprimento das metas, com os CEO tipo II e III tendo mais chances de atingi-las. A escassez de profissionais especialistas ainda é um desafio para o atendimento aos pacientes com necessidades especiais. Conclui-se que, no Brasil, o tipo de CEO e o IDHM estão relacionados ao melhor desempenho dos CEO no cumprimento das metas para a especialidade de OPNE.

Abstract: This cross-sectional study evaluated factors associated with toothache in 12-year-old adolescents from the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Secondary data were collected from the SB Minas Gerais 2012 epidemiological survey. The dependent variable was toothache in the past 6 months. The independent variables were grouped into two levels: individual (sex, ethnic group, family income, periodontal condition, dental caries, dental treatment needs, and type of service used) and contextual (allocation factor, Human Development Index, Gini coefficient, gross domestic product, unemployment, illiteracy, basic sanitation, garbage collection, family income, half or a quarter of a minimum wage, primary healthcare coverage, primary oral healthcare team coverage, oral health technician, access to individual dental care, and supervised tooth brushing). A multilevel analysis was performed using the Hierarchical Linear and Nonlinear Modeling Software Program to assess the association of individual and contextual variables with toothache in the last 6 months. The prevalence of toothache in the last six months among the adolescents of this study was 19.1%. An association was found with family income (p <0.001), dental caries (p <0.001), primary oral healthcare team coverage (p = 0.015) and oral health technician (p = 0.008). Socioeconomic conditions and the most prevalent oral diseases, such as dental caries, as well as the use of public services, were related to toothache in adolescents aged 12 years. These findings reinforce the need to develop and implement public policies to address the oral health problems of this population.

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with dental pain in adolescents from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Individual data on adolescents aged 15 to 19 years were collected from the SB Minas survey secondary database. Dental pain over the past 6 months, assessed by a questionnaire, was used as the dependent variable. Sex, income, skin color, prevalence of untreated dental caries, periodontal health, dental treatment needs, and time of last dental appointment were analyzed as individual covariates. Allocation factor, Human Development Index (HDI), Gini coefficient, illiteracy rate, unemployment, 50% and 25% of the Brazilian monthly minimum wage, primary healthcare coverage, oral health team coverage, access to individual healthcare, and supervised toothbrushing average rate were the analyzed contextual variables. A multilevel analysis was conducted for the individual and contextual variables. Statistical analyses used hierarchical linear and nonlinear modeling to infer an association between the different levels. Male adolescents had a lower prevalence of dental pain (OR = 0.53; 95%CI = 0.37–0.75). There was an association between dental pain and low income (OR = 1.58; 95%CI = 1.07–2.33), prevalence of untreated dental caries (OR = 1.25; 95%CI = 1.11–1.40), periodontal health (OR = 1.80; 95%CI = 1.04–3.09), and dental treatment needs (OR = 6.93; 95%CI = 3.96–12.14). Sociodemographic and clinical factors at the individual level were associated with the outcome but not with contextual variables. These findings reinforce the need to address these factors for effective community health actions.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with toothache in the adult population of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Individual data from a population sample (age 35 to 44 years) were collected from a secondary database of the SB Minas survey. Sampling was carried out by clusters and with multiple drawing stages. The eligibility criteria were to reside in areas chosen for the research, be within the age group, and accept to participate in the research. The individual variables assessed by a questionnaire and dental exams were sex, income, race/skin color, root caries, periodontal condition, need for dental treatment, and last dental appointment. The contextual variables, assessed by municipal indexes, were Human Development Index (HDI), illiteracy, unemployment, half minimum wage, quarter minimum wage, oral health team coverage, access to individual health care, and supervised tooth brushing average. The dependent variable was toothache in the past six months. A descriptive analysis was made using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and Hierarchical Linear and Nonlinear Modeling Software was used to perform the multilevel analyses for individual and contextual levels. An association was found between toothache and low income (OR = 2.00; 95%CI = 1.32–3.13), dental caries (OR = 1.86; 95%CI = 1.22–2.86), periodontal condition, and living on a quarter of the minimum wage or less (OR = 1.03; 95%CI = 1.00–1.08). Clinical and social factors were associated with toothache, reinforcing the need to improve public polices in oral health focused on the adult population.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the association between water sanitation and living conditions and dental caries in Brazilian schoolchildren. Material and Methods: A list containing names of children enrolled in 18 urban public schools was obtained. Then, data registered by community health agents from the family health strategy were consulted, aiming to obtain information about socio-environmental variables such as house type, number of rooms in the house, water supply, water treatment, waste, feces and urine disposal. For sample calculation, 95% confidence level, 80% test power and 5% error rate were used A total of 199 5-year-old and 137 12-year-old schoolchildren participated in the research. For examinations, World Health Organization recommendations for epidemiological surveys of dental caries were followed. Results: For 5-year-old children, dental caries prevalence was related to municipality of origin, water supply system and sewage system. For 12-year-old children, untreated water and waste collection were related to higher dental caries rates. Conclusion: Dental caries was associated to house type and water sanitation.

Este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar a tendência temporal dos indicadores de monitoramento de produção e desempenho dos serviços de atenção secundária em saúde bucal do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), no período de 2008 a 2018. Realizou-se um estudo de séries temporais com base nos dados de produção dos Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEOs) obtidos junto ao Sistema de Informações Ambulatoriais do SUS. O indicador de monitoramento foi avaliado segundo a proporção de CEOs que cumpriram a meta mensal estabelecida para cada especialidade (atenção básica, endodontia, cirurgia, periodontia). O desempenho dos serviços foi definido como ruim para aqueles que não cumpriram nenhuma ou apenas uma das metas estipuladas para as quatro especialidades odontológicas. As séries temporais construídas foram analisadas pelo método da decomposição, considerando os componentes de tendência, variação sazonal e variação aleatória. Todas as análises foram feitas para o Brasil e cada uma das cinco macrorregiões. Verificou-se o declínio da proporção de CEOs que cumpriram as metas da atenção básica no país como um todo. As tendências da proporção de cumprimento de metas para a área de cirurgia e periodontia foram crescentes para o Brasil. Observou-se diferenças importantes na proporção de cumprimento de metas entre as regiões brasileiras, com o pior desempenho dos CEOs nas regiões Norte e Nordeste. As tendências temporais demostraram uma melhora dos serviços para o Brasil como um todo, mas destacam a importância de avaliação das regiões do país e necessidade de monitoramento constante desses indicadores.

This study aimed to assess time trends in production and performance indicators in secondary dental care services in the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) from 2008 to 2018. A time series study was conducted, based on production data from the Specialized Dental Clinics (CEOs in Portuguese) obtained from the Ambulatory Information System of the SUS. The monitoring indicator was assessed as the proportion of clinics that met the monthly target set for each specialty (primary care, endodontics, surgery, periodontics). Dental services’ performance was defined as poor for those that met only one or no targets in the four dental specialties. The time series were analyzed by the decomposition method, considering the components trend, seasonal variation, and random variation. All the analyses were performed for Brazil as a whole and for each of the country’s five major geographic regions. A decline was seen in Brazil as a whole in the proportion of clinics that met the primary care targets. There were upward trends in the proportion of compliance with the targets for surgery and periodontics in Brazil as a whole. Important differences were seen between the regions of Brazil in the proportion of compliance with the targets, with the worst performance for the clinics in the North and Northeast regions. Time trends showed an improvement in the services for Brazil as a whole, while emphasizing the importance of assessing the country’s regions and the need for constant monitoring of these indicators.

Las series temporales construidas se analizaron mediante el método de descomposición, considerando los componentes de tendencia, variación estacional y variación aleatoria. Todos los análisis fueron realizados respecto a Brasil y cada una de sus cinco macrorregiones. Se verificó un decremento en la proporción de CEOs que cumplieron las metas de la atención básica en todo el país. Las tendencias de la proporción de cumplimiento de metas para el área de cirugía y periodoncia fueron crecientes en el caso de Brasil. Se observaron diferencias importantes en la proporción de cumplimiento de metas entre las regiones brasileñas, con un peor desempeño de los CEOs en las regiones Norte y Nordeste. Las tendencias temporales demostraron una mejora de los servicios para todo Brasil, pero destacan la importancia de la evaluación de las regiones del país y la necesidad de un monitoreo constante de estos indicadores.

Realizou-se um estudo de séries temporais com base nos dados de produção dos Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEOs) obtidos junto ao Sistema de Informações Ambulatoriais do SUS. O indicador de monitoramento foi avaliado segundo a proporção de CEOs que cumpriram a meta mensal estabelecida para cada especialidade (atenção básica, endodontia, cirurgia, periodontia). O desempenho dos serviços foi definido como ruim para aqueles que não cumpriram nenhuma ou apenas uma das metas estipuladas para as quatro especialidades odontológicas. As séries temporais construídas foram analisadas pelo método da decomposição, considerando os componentes de tendência, variação sazonal e variação aleatória. Todas as análises foram feitas para o Brasil e cada uma das cinco macrorregiões. Verificou-se o declínio da proporção de CEOs que cumpriram as metas da atenção básica no país como um todo. As tendências da proporção de cumprimento de metas para a área de cirurgia e periodontia foram crescentes para o Brasil. Observou-se diferenças importantes na proporção de cumprimento de metas entre as regiões brasileiras, com o pior desempenho dos CEOs nas regiões Norte e Nordeste. As tendências temporais demostraram uma melhora dos serviços para o Brasil como um todo, mas destacam a importância de avaliação das regiões do país e necessidade de monitoramento constante desses indicadores.

This study aimed to assess time trends in production and performance indicators in secondary dental care services in the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) from 2008 to 2018. A time series study was conducted, based on production data from the Specialized Dental Clinics (CEOs in Portuguese) obtained from the Ambulatory Information System of the SUS. The monitoring indicator was assessed as the proportion of clinics that met the monthly target set for each specialty (primary care, endodontics, surgery, periodontics). Dental services’ performance was defined as poor for those that met only one or no targets in the four dental specialties. The time series were analyzed by the decomposition method, considering the components trend, seasonal variation, and random variation. All the analyses were performed for Brazil as a whole and for each of the country’s five major geographic regions. A decline was seen in Brazil as a whole in the proportion of clinics that met the primary care targets. There were upward trends in the proportion of compliance with the targets for surgery and periodontics in Brazil as a whole. Important differences were seen between the regions of Brazil in the proportion of compliance with the targets, with the worst performance for the clinics in the North and Northeast regions. Time trends showed an improvement in the services for Brazil as a whole, while emphasizing the importance of assessing the country’s regions and the need for constant monitoring of these indicators.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la tendencia temporal de los indicadores de monitoreo de producción y desempeño de los servicios de atención secundaria en salud bucal del Sistema Único de Salud (SUS), durante el período de 2008 a 2018. Se realizó un estudio de series temporales, basado en los datos de producción de los Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEOs), obtenidos mediante el Sistema de Información Ambulatoria del SUS. El indicador de monitoreo se evaluó según la proporción de CEOs que cumplieron la meta mensual establecida para cada especialidad (atención básica, endodoncia, cirugía, periodoncia). El desempeño de los servicios se definió como malo para aquellos que no cumplieron ninguna o solo una de las metas estipuladas para las cuatro especialidades odontológicas. Las series temporales construidas se analizaron mediante el método de descomposición, considerando los componentes de tendencia, variación estacional y variación aleatoria. Todos los análisis fueron realizados respecto a Brasil y cada una de sus cinco macrorregiones. Se verificó un decremento en la proporción de CEOs que cumplieron las metas de la atención básica en todo el país. Las tendencias de la proporción de cumplimiento de metas para el área de cirugía y periodoncia fueron crecientes en el caso de Brasil. Se observaron diferencias importantes en la proporción de cumplimiento de metas entre las regiones brasileñas, con un peor desempeño de los CEOs en las regiones Norte y Nordeste. Las tendencias temporales demostraron una mejora de los servicios para todo Brasil, pero destacan la importancia de la evaluación de las regiones del país y la necesidad de un monitoreo constante de estos indicadores.
