Epidemiological profile of the A (H1N1) pandemic influenza in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, for the April-September 2009 timeframe

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that consists of the development of autoantibodies against the myelin sheath in neuronal axons causing demyelinating inflammatory sites. It is a disease currently incurable. Objectives: The objective was to describe the epidemiological clinical profile of patients hospitalized with MS in the State of São Paulo, in the period from 2011 to 2021. Methods: This is an epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective study, with quantitative analysis, whose source of data was the Information System for Notifiable Diseases, from the Ministry of Health. The data were tabulated in graphs and tables using Microsoft Excel 2010. Results: 10,386 admissions of MS were reported in the state. Of the total cases, 67.4% occurred in females and 80.3% in race white. 43.5% of patients in the age group between 30 and 39 years. 94.4% were hospitalized on an elective basis. The average length of stay is between 3.3 days, with mortality rate representing 0.64% of the total. Conclusion: A higher prevalence was observed in the age range between 30 and 39 years and a predominance of hospitalizations among women. Although it is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, the mortality was low. It suggests that there are variables to be analyzed, such as a possible underreporting of this disease and also the advent of early diagnosis strategies and treatments that can modify the course of the disease, mitigating mortality.

Epidemiological Profile

Background: The incidence of Cerebrovascular Diseases (CVD) increases significantly with age, being more frequent in the elderly. For this reason, there are still few studies that describe the epidemiological profile of these pathologies in youn g adults. Methods and Objective: From the data collected prospectively and allocated on the TabNet platform (DataSUS, MS), an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. As a primary objective, we seek to describe the demographic information most associated with CVD mortality in individuals between 20 and 49 years old, in São Paulo. Results: The year 2011 emerged in relation to mortality, with 1,432 deaths; in the 2010- 2019 period, the average number of deaths (± standard deviation [SD]) was 1,318 (± 61), per year. In this period, the number of deaths was higher in the capital (4,605; 34.9% of the total in the state). The mean deaths (± SD), per year, in the capital and in the interior cities were, respectively: 442 (± 58) and 2.4 (± 6.2). People with schooling from 4 to 7 years old and from 8 to 11 years old were the most affected. The ratio of male deaths to female deaths was 1.05. Conclusion: There is relative stability in relation to mortality per year among young adults in the state of SP, the capital being the city with the highest number of deaths. Male individuals, with a medium level of education were responsible for most of the deaths.

Epidemiological Profile

Background: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and its prevalence practically doubles every five years from the age of 60. The progression of the disease determines cognitive deterioration, impairment of basic daily activities and the need for multiple hospitalizations. Objectives: Characterize the clinical-epidemiological profile of hospitalizations for Alzheimer’s in the state of São Paulo, in the period from 2015 to 2019. Design and Setting: Epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective study with quantitative analysis. Methods: Data provided from the Hospital Morbidity System (SIH-SUS) of the Ministry of Health. Results: A total of 2270 hospitalizations were identified, with a decrease in the number of hospitalizations over the five years (590 in 2015 and 435 in 2019). There was a predominance in people over 80 years old. About 68% of hospitalizations were on an urgent basis. The mortality rate increased 286.23% between 2015 and 2019, and the region with the highest number of hospitalizations was the greater São Paulo (n=1318). Conclusion: The increase in the mortality rate, associated with the reduction in the number of hospitalizations over the years and the predominance of hospitalizations on an urgent basis, may indicate that hospitalizations occur in the presence of a more severe disease, whether due to better management of moderate disease or late diagnosis of its complications. The predominance of hospitalizations in the greater São Paulo region indicates a centralization of health services and technological resources.

Epidemiological Profile

Introduction: Meningitis is an inflammatory process of the meninges, which can be of infectious cause or not. Among the infectious, the bacterial is the most alarming for society, since it has a much higher rate of morbidity and mortality. Objectives: Analyze and describe the epidemiological profile of bacterial meningitis in the State of São Paulo. Methods: Descriptive epidemiological study of cases of bacterial meningitis in the State of São Paulo, carried out through the DATASUS platform, in the period from 2016 to 2020. Results: The State of São Paulo registered 4013 cases of bacterial meningitis, 67.1% of the cases in the Southeast (5977), being responsible for 53% of the cases of this disease in Brazil. The most affected age group in the State was 0 to 4 years, 33.7% of the total, while elderly people aged 80 and over were the least affected (2.3%). As for deaths, São Paulo recorded 862 and a mortality rate of 21.4%, higher than the country average (20.5%), representing 64% of deaths in the Southeast region. In addition, males were the most affected, registering 58.1% of the total, while females registered 41.8%. Conclusions: São Paulo has the majority of cases and deaths from bacterial meningitis in its region, with a mortality rate that exceeds Brazilian averages and which contributes to the Southeast having more than half of the cases of meningitis in Brazil. More active epidemiological surveillance and greater dissemination of information on meningitis and its signs and symptoms is necessary.

Background: Cerebrovascular diseases (CBVD) constitutes the second leading cause of death worldwide. Among the risk factors that can contribute to the pathology, the modifiable factors are related to lifestyle habits and the unmodifiable to gender, age and race. The proper management of these factors reduces the susceptibility of the person dying. Thus, it’s valuable to have this knowledge, once the identification and control provides the primary prevention. Objectives: Expose the epidemiological profile of deaths by CBVD in the population in 2019. Design and setting: Quantitative study, descriptive and observational, with data obtained in the Mortality Information System. Methods: Analysis of deaths due to CBVD in the state of São Paulo (SP) according to age range, gender and race. Results: The number of deaths by DBVD in 2019 in the state of SP were 21.716; according to gender, 51,0% were male patients, and 49,0% female. Regarding the age range, they all showed deaths by CBVD, the age group most affected, with 36,1% of deaths, were over 80 years old. Furthermore, the mortality of people with 60 years or more, represented 81,9% of the cases. The caucasion race had the highest number of deaths by DBVD with 68,0%, followed by mixed race with 20,8% and black race with 8,0%. Conclusions: The knowledgment of the epidemiological profile of deaths caused by CBVD in the state of SP is important, especially for identifying risk factors, planning and executing preventive actions, aiming to reduce the frequency of complications and deaths.

Epidemiological Profile

Background: Dementia syndromes have a progressive and varied nature, causing cognitive and functional decay. Therefore, understanding the epidemiology of this disease is important for its screening. Objectives: To present the patients hospitalized in the state of São Paulo clinical-epidemiological profile, between March 2011 and February 2021. Design and settings: Descriptive, retrospective, and quantitative epidemiological study. Methodology: The data were collected in Sistema de Informação Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde. The number of hospitalizations and mortality rate were analyzed, correlating them with sex, color, age group, care type, and year. Results: In 6572 hospitalizations, there was no sex majority. 20.3% of the patients did not present information about color. Among the identified, the majority was white (66.2%) or brown (24.7%). Individuals older than 60 years represented 62.6%, with peak between 70 and 79 years old. White population had the highest mortality rates (7.85 ‰), followed by the black population (7.55 ‰). The mortality rate was higher among women older than 80 years. Mortality in elective care (11.6 ‰) was approximately 4 times higher than in emergency care (2.77 ‰). Conclusions: The profile includes white and brown population, older than 60 years. Higher mortality rates in women older than 80 years may be related to their longer life expectancy. Higher mortality in elective care may indicate greater neurodegenerative diseases presence.
