Poor access to health services for depression treatment in Brazil

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To analyze the factors associated with poor access to health services for the depression treatment in Brazil. METHODS This study used data from the Brazilian National Survey of Health, conducted in the years 2019 and 2020. The sample consisted of 8,332 individuals with a self-reported diagnosis of depression, and poor access to healthcare was identified from the question “what is the main reason for you to not visit the physician/health service regularly for your depression?” From which poor access was identified by the affirmative answer reporting distance of health services or difficulties with transportation; waiting time at the health service; financial difficulties; opening hours of the health service; Not being able to schedule a consultation via health insurance; does not know who to look for or where to go, among others. Sociodemographic aspects and health conditions were analyzed. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed using Poisson Regression. RESULTS The prevalence of poor access to health services for depression treatment was 14.9% (95%CI: 13.6–16.2), relating to individuals aged 15–29 years (PR = 1.52) and 30-59 years old (PR = 1.22), without education (PR = 1.43), who rate their health as regular/poor/very poor (PR = 1.26), who have some limitation in their usual activities (PR = 2.71), who had the last consultation within 6 months of less than 2 years (PR = 2.63) and for more than 2 years (PR = 2.25) and who do not undergo psychotherapy (PR = 4.28). CONCLUSION Poor access to health services for depression treatment was associated with individual factors and health conditions

Thyroid cancer mortality in Brazil and its geographic regions: mortality trends and projections until 2030

The objective of this study was to analyze temporal trends for thyroid cancer mortality in Brazil and its geographic regions, in the period 2001-2015, and calculate mortality projections until 2030. Methods: An ecological study is presented herein on thyroid cancer-related deaths in Brazil, based on the registries of the Mortality Information System. Mortality trends were analyzed by Joinpoint regression, and the Nordpred software (within the R program) was utilized for the calculation of projections. Results: An adjusted mortality rate (ASW) of 0.48 deaths/100,000 inhabitants was obtained for women and 0.27 deaths/100,000 inhabitants for men, with a significant decreasing trend for the female sex (APC= -1.6; CI95%: -2.5; -0.6), while for the male sex the mortality rates decreased non-significantly (APC= -0.5; CI95%: -1.5; 0.5). Mortality rates for the female sex present a decreasing projection until 2030. For the male sex, the same characteristic is observed, however the North and Northeast regions present increasing projections, and these numbers are mainly explained by the variation in the Brazilian demographic structure. Conclusions:  Thyroid cancer mortality presented decreases, more pronounced for the female sex

Incidência e mortalidade por câncer de laringe na América Central e do Sul

RESUMOObjetivo: Descrever as tendências da incidência e mortalidade para o câncer de laringe em países da América do sul e central.Métodos: Estudo de série temporal, com dados de incidência da Agência Internacional para Pesquisa do Câncer, no período de 1990-2012 e dados de mortalidade de 17 países da Organização Mundial da Saúde, no período de 1995-2013. A tendência foi analisadapela regressão Joinpoint.Resultados: A taxa de incidência mais elevada para o câncer de laringe foi no Brasil, com 5,9 casos novos por 100.000 homens, e ataxa de mortalidade mais elevada foi no Uruguai com 4,2 óbitos por 100.000 homens. A razão de incidência entre os sexos variou de4:1 (Colômbia) até 12:1 (Equador). A razão de mortalidade entre os sexos variou de 4:1 (Peru) a 14:1 (Uruguai).Conclusão: A maioria dos países apresentou baixas taxas de incidência e redução de mortalidade na América Latina.Palavras-chave: Neoplasias laríngeas.
