Reference Cohort

Cervical cancer screening is a multistage process, therefore access to both the primary test and subsequent diagnostic procedures is essential. Considering women undergoing screening on the public health system in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, we aimed to estimate the proportion of women accessing colposcopy within six months of an abnormal smear result. We retrieved records from two administrative databases, the Information System on Uterine Cervical Cancer (SISCOLO) that contains smear results and the Outpatient Information System of the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SIA/SUS) that records colposcopies. A reference cohort consisted of women, aged 25 years or older, with an abnormal smear result between May 1, 2014, and June 30, 2014. We excluded prevalent cases. We linked the reference cohort and records in the SIA/SUS extending to December 31, 2014. After excluding prevalent cases, 1,761 women with abnormal cytology results were left. A total of 700 (39.8%) women were linked to a colposcopy record within the follow-up period; this dropped to 671 (38.1%) women when follow-up was censored at six months. We could notice a slightly higher attendance in women living in the metropolitan region of São Paulo compared with residents of the rest of the state. We found no association between colposcopy attendance and age or cytology class. These results emphasize that access to colposcopy in the public health system in São Paulo is limited. This compromises the quality of screening, and the issue needs to be prioritized in service planning.

Purpose: to highlight the concept of public health system and public health services in Ukraine. Materials and Methods. Scientific methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization were used in order to achieve this goal. Results. Considering in detail the functioning of public health institutions in Ukraine at the national and regional levels, we can note that to ensure the epidemiological surveillance and assessment of health and well-being of the population modern new tools were created. These tools have been used to monitor public health. The basic standards of activity and priorities are used. There are new structures, such as a clear reporting system, financing, monitoring of the quality of labor resources and rendering of services to consumers. The current state of social programs in public health research has shown the presence of a number of theoretical, methodological, economic, organizational, legal problems. Evidence suggests that investing in public health is generally cost-effective for the health care sector, other sectors, and the economy in a broad sense. A clear position of the state is important for the further development of social programs in public health. The state created the basic conditions for the development of such programs and these conditions were important for the initial stage of their formation. It is a need for creation a regulation system of such programs, which will reflect not only tax benefits, but also other preferences for developers of such programs. Particular attention should be paid to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, which has made significant changes to the number of chronic and acute diseases and to the public health system. Conclusions. The adoption of the Concept for the Development of the Public Health System in Ukraine in 2016 was a driving stage in the modernization of public health in Ukraine and had a positive impact on its development. There are still problems with the need to improve the further development and modernization of the public health system in Ukraine, which ought to be addressed at the national and regional levels, taking into account the international experience of the highly efficient systems in Europe and the World.

Despite the high prevalence, impact and economic importance of headaches, studies on this subject are rare in Brazil. The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of headaches in the public health system of a town in the interior of the State of São Paulo, as well as to estimate the costs resulting from its management. Data refer to the year of 1998 and were obtained according to the following steps: 1) territorial and demographic characterization of the municipality; 2) characterization of the financial indices and social well-being; 3) budget characteristics of the municipality; 4) evaluation of the structuring of the medical service; 5) determination of the prevalence of headaches at different patient care levels; and 6) calculation of the costs of headaches. Headaches represented 7.9% of all visits at basic health units, 9.7% in the emergency room and 1.1% of hospital admissions. The total costs were R$ 85,131.31 (US$ 70,942.76) corresponding to R$ 7.59 (US$ 6,32) per inhabitant/year. The present study shows the need for epidemiological and economic impact studies, which would provide the basis for the rational use of health funds.

Excessive Number

We have developed a probabilistic model to quantify the risks of COVID-19 explosion in Brazil, the epicenter of COVID-19 in Latin America. By explosion, we mean an excessive number of new infections that would overload the public health system. We made predictions from July 12th to Oct 10th, 2020 for various containment strategies, including business as usual, stay at home (SAH) for young and elderly, flight restrictions among regions, gradual resumption of business and the compulsory wearing of masks. They indicate that: if a SAH strategy were sustained, there would be a negligible risk of explosion and the public health system would not be overloaded. For the other containment strategies, the scenario that combines the gradual resumption of business with the mandatory wearing of masks would be the most effective, reducing risk to considerable category. Should this strategy is applied together with the investment in more Intensive Care Unit beds, risk could be reduced to negligible levels. A sensitivity analysis sustained that risks would be negligible if SAH measures were adopted thoroughly.
