RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

descrever a tendência dos indicadores da tuberculose em relação à sua prevalência e incidência e os percentuais dos desfechos dos casos no encerramento (cura, abandono ao tratamento ou óbito) dos pacientes que ingressaram no Programa em Sapucaia do Sul, RS, entre 2000 e 2008.

MÉTODOS:

Foi realizada uma análise ecológica das taxas. Foram apresentadas as taxas brutas de frequência e os respectivos intervalos de confiança a 95%. Verificaram-se as estimativas das taxas através das variações percentuais médias anuais. Foram realizadas médias móveis a cada três anos.

RESULTADOS:

As taxas médias de prevalência e incidência foram de 64,3 e 58,0 por 100.000 habitantes respectivamente. As análises dos indicadores não apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre as taxas anuais ou nas médias móveis durante o período. DISCUSSÃO Os desfechos estavam abaixo das metas propostas pela Organização Mundial de Saúde o que compromete o controle da doença, já que não se consegue interromper a cadeia de transmissão.
ABSTRACT
The scope of this study was to describe the trends of tuberculosis indicators in relation to their prevalence, incidence and the case outcome percentages (cure, abandonment of treatment or death) for the patients who entered in the Program in Sapucaia do Sul, state of Rio Grande do Sul, between 2000 and 2008. An ecological analysis of the incidence was conducted and the gross frequency rates and respective confidence intervals of 95% were presented. The rate estimates were verified by means of average annual percent change as well as the mobile averages every three years. The prevalence rate was 64.3 and the incidence rate was 58.0 per 100.000 inhabitants. Analysis of the indicators did not reveal statistically significant differences between the annual rates or in the mobile averages during the period. The outcomes were below the targets proposed by the World Health Organization, what compromises control of the disease, as it is not proving possible to interrupt the chain of transmission.
