Mortalidade por câncer de boca e condição sócio-econômica no Brasil

As doencas cronico-degenerativas representam um grande problema de saude publica, necessitando de levantamento e controle mais efetivos destas enfermidades por parte dos orgaos publicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi correlacionar os indices de mortalidade por câncer oral nas capitais do Brasil no periodo de 1998 a 2002 com indicadores socio-economicos do Censo Demografico de 2000, por meio de um estudo do tipo ecologico. Os dados foram extraidos do Sistema de Informacao de Mortalidade (Ministerio da Saude/DATASUS), para os anos de 1998-2002. Os indicadores socio-economicos foram obtidos a partir do Atlas do Desenvolvimento Humano no Brasil. Apos coleta dos dados, a analise estatistica foi realizada usando-se o indice de correlacao de Pearson. Observaram-se correlacoes positivas e significativas entre os indicadores socio-economicos (Indice de Desenvolvimento Humano-Municipal - IDH-M, IDH-M renda, IDH-M educacao, IDH-M longevidade e renda per capita), e correlacao negativa e significante para os indicadores socio-economicos indice de Gini e mortalidade infantil. Apesar das limitacoes do estudo e da provavel problematica de sub-registros nas capitais menos desenvolvidas, o presente trabalho encontrou correlacoes estatisticamente significantes entre os indicadores socio-economicos selecionados e o indice de mortalidade por câncer oral.

Prevalence of orofacial clefts and social factors in Brazil

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of orofacial clefts in live newborns from 1998 to 2002 in Brazilian state capitals and correlate their occurrence with a number of relevant socioeconomic factors collected in the 2000 census. Data was obtained from the Public Health Hospital Information System (SIH-SUS), Information System of Live Hospital Births (SINASC) and Atlases of Human Development in Brazil. The results showed that the mean prevalence of orofacial clefts in Brazil was 0.36 per 1,000 live births. Using Pearsons correlation coefficient, the correlation between cleft rate and social factors was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Our study suggests that there is no correlation between the municipal economic factors and the prevalence of orofacial clefts, which is likely influenced by underrecording problems in the less developed municipalities.
