Abstract Background The state of São Paulo recorded a significant reduction in infant mortality, but the desired reduction in maternal mortality was not achieved. Knowledge of the factors with impact on these indicators would be of help in formulating public policies. The aims of this study were to evaluate the relations between socioeconomic and demographic factors, health care model and both infant mortality and maternal mortality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods In this ecological study, data from national official open sources were used. Analyzed were 645 municipalities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. For each municipality, the infant mortality and maternal mortality rates were calculated for every 1000 live births, 2013. The association between these rates, socioeconomic variables, demographic models and the primary care organization model in the municipality were verified. We used the zero-inflated negative binomial model. Gross analysis was performed and then multiple regression models were estimated. For associations, we adopted “p” at 5%. Results The increase in the HDI of the city and proportion of Family Health Care Strategy implemented were significantly associated with the reduction in both infant mortality (neonatal + post-neonatal) and maternal mortality rates. In turn, the increase in birth and caesarean delivery rates were associated with the increase in infant and maternal mortality rates. Conclusions It was concluded that the Family Health Care Strategy model that contributed to the reduction in infant (neonatal + post-neonatal) and maternal mortality rates, and so did actors such as HDI and cesarean section. Thus, public health managers should prefer this model. Key messages Implementation of public policies with specific focus on attenuating these factors and making it possible to optimize resources, and not interrupting the FHS. Knowledge of the factors with impact on these indicators would be of help in formulating public policies.

The Impact

The state of São Paulo, Brazil, where more than 94.000 dentists are currently registered, has become the epicenter of COVID-19 in Latin America. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on dentists in this state. A semi-structured questionnaire was sent via e-mail to 93.280 dentists with active registration in the Dental Council of São Paulo (CROSP). The impact of COVID-19 pandemic was assessed through questions related to demographic, socioeconomic, dental practice characteristics and personal protective equipment (PPE) use. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the association between all the variables (p<0.05). Over 8 days, 2113 responses were received. Only 26.52% of the sample reported a low-income reduction (from 0–10%), while the majority of dentists reported a more negative financial impact, 35.6% with a reduction of more than 50% of their monthly income. Dentists who worked in the private sector and at the capital had a greater financial impact when compared to those of the public sector and countryside of the state (p<0.05). Furthermore, about 83% reported not having received any specific training to control the transmission of coronavirus in the health area. This study provides evidence of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the routine of dentists in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Hopefully, this study will help dental and other health care professionals to better understand the consequences of disease in dental settings and strengthen preparedness throughout the dental health care system.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the allocation of financial resources in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) in the state of São Paulo by level of care, health region, source of funds and level of government. METHODS: This is an exploratory study based on 2014 data extracted from the Public Health Budget Database, presented in absolute terms, relative terms and per capita. RESULTS: In 2014, R$52.1 bi were spent on public health, 58.0% having corresponded to the expenditures of the municipalities and 42.0% to those of the state government. Regional per capita spending varied from R$561.75 to R$824.85. As for the per capita spending on primary health care, which represented 37.5% of the municipalities’ total expenditure, the lowest value was found in the city of São Paulo and the highest, in Araçatuba. Campinas had the highest per capita expenditure on medium and high complexity care, while Presidente Prudente had the lowest. The highest regional percentage of the current net revenue spent on health was verified in Registro, and the lowest, in the city of São Paulo. CONCLUSIONS: The paradigm of the health sector’s financing in São Paulo revealed that the expenditure on primary health care, level elected by health policy as strategic because it depends on coordination and integral health care in the attention networks, was not considered a priority in relation to the expenditure with the medium and high complexity, exposing the iniquities in the state’s regions.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to assess performance in sexual and reproductive health of primary health care services of the Brazilian Unified Health System, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS An evaluative framework was built for sexual and reproductive health with the categorization of 99 indicators in three domains: sexual and reproductive health promotion (25), sexually transmitted infections/AIDS prevention and care (43), and reproductive health care (31). This framework was applied to assess the services responses to the questionnaire of Quality Evaluation of Primary Health Care in the Municipalities of São Paulo State (QualiAB), in 2010. Percentages were calculated for positive responses to indicators and performance in the sexual and reproductive health dimension, according to domains, and their contribution to the overall score in sexual and reproductive health (Friedman), relative participation (Dunn), and correlation (Spearman) was verified. RESULTS Overall, 2,735 services participated in the study. They were located in 586 municipalities (distributed throughout the 17 regional health departments of São Paulo), of which 70.6% had fewer than 100,000 inhabitants. The overall average performance of these services for sexual and reproductive health is 56.8%. The actions are characterized by: prenatal with adequate beginning and exams, better organization for immediate rather than for late postnatal care, and selective reproductive planning for some contraceptives; prevention based on specific protection, limitations in the prevention of congenital syphilis, in the treatment of sexually transmitted infections, and in the screening of cervical and breast cancer; specific educational activities, with a restricted vulnerability approach, focus on sexuality over reproduction. The domain of reproductive health has greater participation in the overall score, followed by prevention/care and promotion. The three domains are correlated; the domain of prevention/care has the highest correlation with the other ones. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of sexual and reproductive health in primary health care in the services studied is incipient. The revision of the purpose of the work, the dissemination of technologies, and the investing in permanent education are needed. The evaluative framework built can be used by the sexual and reproductive health program services and management in primary health care, thereby contributing to their actions.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the physical and financial participation of private health insurance beneficiaries in the TH located in the State of Sao Paulo, regarding the care of Brazilian Unique Health System patients, in the year 2017. METHODS The research data were obtained from the System of Evaluation of the Teaching Hospitals (SAHE), of the State Department of Health of São Paulo (SES/SP). RESULTS It was observed that, on average, the TH analyzed provide 17% of their operational vacancies for the Supplementary Health System, and that the financial return is better in the philanthropic ones. CONCLUSIONS The health care services provided by TH deserve to be deepened, evaluating the real advantages obtained in the provision of services, given that supplementary health care requires differentiated infrastructure, and mainly the knowledge of operational costs in order to stipulate the procedures’ price.

O artigo investigou as formas de acesso a nove serviços de cirurgia bariátrica que operaram, em 2013, 50 ou mais pacientes pelo Sistema Único de Saúde no Estado de São Paulo. Para isso, utilizou-se metodologia qualitativa com base em informações coletadas por entrevistas presenciais com os responsáveis pelos serviços. Cinco centros estavam no interior do Estado, cinco eram de natureza privada sem fins lucrativos e sete eram hospitais de ensino. As análises apontaram duas categorias conforme a integração com a rede de saúde: pouco ou fortemente integrado; e quatro categorias segundo o tipo de acesso: porta aberta, triagem própria, órgão de regulação ou Unidade Básica de Saúde. Dos quatro serviços pouco integrados à rede de saúde, três eram do tipo porta aberta e um realizava triagem própria; dos cinco centros fortemente integrados à rede de saúde, quatro receberam os pacientes encaminhados por instâncias de regulação e um por Unidade Básica de Saúde. As conclusões indicam que há grande heterogeneidade nas características organizacionais e nas formas de acesso aos serviços participantes deste estudo. Apesar de previsto na normatização do sistema público de saúde que a porta de entrada preferencial à rede deve ser pela Atenção Primária à Saúde, esse fluxo foi observado em somente um serviço. Há necessidade de padronização do modelo organizacional de acesso aos serviços que oferecem tratamento cirúrgico pelo Sistema Único de Saúde aos indivíduos portadores de obesidade.Palavras-chave: Obesidade.

Sistema Único de SaúdePublicly funded surgical treatment of obesity: A study on the access in nine services in the State of São PauloAbstractThe paper researched the accessibility to bariatric surgery centers in the public health system in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. A case series study with a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in person with nine chiefs of bariatric surgical units that had performed 50 or more procedures publicly funded in 2013. Five were in the interior of the State, five were of private non-profit nature and seven were teaching hospitals. The analyzes pointed out categories according to integration with the public health network and type of access. Of the four services weakly integrated to the health system, three were open access and one performed self-screening; of the five centers strongly integrated into the health network, four received patients referred by regulatory bodies and one from a Primary Health Care Unit. Although the governmental obesity care policy states that the preferential access of patients are the Primary Health Care Units, in this study it was observed in only one service. There is a need for standardization of the organizational model of access to services that offer publicly funded surgical care to individuals with obesity.Keywords: Obesity. Bariatric surgery.
