Variables Associated With The Performance Of Centers For Dental Specialties In Brazil.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Centers for Dental Specialties (CDS) in the country and associations with sociodemographic indicators of the municipalities, structural variables of services and primary health care organization in the years 2004-2009. The study used secondary data from procedures performed in the CDS to the specialties of periodontics, endodontics, surgery and primary care. Bivariate analysis by χ2 test was used to test the association between the dependent variable (performance of the CDS) with the independents. Then, Poisson regression analysis was performed. With regard to the overall achievement of targets, it was observed that the majority of CDS (69.25%) performance was considered poor/regular. The independent factors associated with poor/regular performance of CDS were: municipalities belonging to the Northeast, South and Southeast regions, with lower Human Development Index (HDI), lower population density, and reduced time to deployment. HDI and population density are important for the performance of the CDS in Brazil. Similarly, the peculiarities related to less populated areas as well as regional location and time of service implementation CDS should be taken into account in the planning of these services.17978-8

O estudo utilizou dados secundários dos procedimentos realizados nos CEOs para as especialidades de periodontia, endodontia, cirurgia e atenção básica. Análise bivariada pelo teste de χ2 foi realizada para testar a associação entre a variável dependente (desempenho do CEO) e as independentes. Em seguida, realizou-se análise de regressão de Poisson. No que se refere ao cumprimento global das metas (CGM), observou-se que a maioria dos CEOs (69,25%) apresentou desempenho considerado ruim/regular. Os fatores independentes associados com o desempenho ruim/regular dos CEOs foram: municípios pertencentes às regiões Nordeste, Sul e Sudeste, com menor Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH), menor densidade demográfica e menor tempo de implantação. O IDH e a densidade demográfica são fatores importantes para o desempenho dos CEOs no Brasil. Da mesma forma, as peculiaridades referentes a territórios com menor densidade populacional, bem como a localização regional e o tempo de implantação dos CEOs, devem ser levadas em conta no planejamento desses serviçossem informaçã
