Use Of Health Services

Objective To explore and compare the use of health services in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) with and without fatigue. Methods Over a period of 30 months, the use of health services in 48 MS outpatients with persistent fatigue and 36 without fatigue was studied. Data were collected from a computerized register and by interviews, and analyzed with regard to disease severity categorized as mild or moderate/severe MS. Results Fatigued people with mild MS used more hospital outpatient care and primary care including rehabilitation, and a higher proportion had transportation service, compared with non-fatigued people with mild MS. In moderate/severe MS, the differences were that non-fatigued people used more occupational therapy in primary care and a higher proportion had salaried service. Regardless of MS severity, informal care was more common among fatigued people. Conclusions Overall, fatigued people with mild MS have more contacts with outpatient health care compared with non-fatigued people. There are few such differences in people with moderate/severe MS. The reasons for the differences in use between fatigued and non-fatigued people are not understood and need further exploration. Fatigued people more often receive informal care, thus support to caregivers are of particular importance if fatigue is present.

Use Of Health Services

Background: Due to the household registration system, Chinese elderly migrants have insufficient access to health services and social support. Thus, this study examined the use of health services, the access to social support, and the interaction among the elderly migrating within China. Methods: Data were obtained from the China Migrant Dynamic Monitoring Survey in 2015, adopting probability proportionate to size as the sampling strategy. Structural equation modeling and mediating effect tests were employed to explore the associations. Results: Approximately 45.9% of elderly migrants did not seek health services when needed. The use of outpatient and inpatient services was more common than free essential public health services. The use of health services was negatively associated with migrating duration and migrating for offspring, while it was positively associated with outer social support. The mediating effects of outer social support were discovered on the relationships between the use of health services and independent variables such as migrating duration and migrating for offspring, respectively. Conclusion: Elderly migrants with a longer migrating duration or migrated for offspring seem to obtain less outer social support, resulting in a decreased use of health services. Outer social support was suggested as a key effort to improve the equalization of health services in Chinese elderly migrants.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To assess whether sex, education level, and health insurance affect the use of health services among the adult Brazilian population with chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCD). METHODS Data from a cross-sectional survey were analyzed, the National Health Survey (PNS). Frequency of use of services in the population that referred at least one NCD were compared with the frequency from a population that did not report NCD, according to sex, education level, health insurance, and NCD number (1, 2, 3, 4, or more). The prevalence and prevalence ratios were calculated crude and adjusted for sex, age, region, and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS The presence of a noncommunicable disease was associated with increase in hospitalizations in the last 12 months, in 1.7 times (95%CI 1.53–1.9). Failing to perform usual activities in the last two weeks for health reasons was 3.1 times higher in NCD carriers (95%CI 2.78–3.46); while the prevalence of medical consultation in the last 12 months was 1.26 times higher (95%CI 1.24–1.28). NCD carriers make more use of health services, as well as women, people with higher number of comorbidities, with health insurance, and higher education level. CONCLUSIONS NCD carriers make more use of health services, as well as women, people with higher number of comorbidities, with health insurance, and higher education level.
