The impact of the strategic action plan to combat chronic non-communicable diseases on hospital admissions and deaths from cardiovascular diseases in Brazil.

Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are the main causes of death worldwide, responsible for millions of hospital admissions per year, especially cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Several strategies for controlling and coping with these diseases have been developed in several countries. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of the Strategic Action Plan to Combat NCDs (2011-2022) on hospital admissions, deaths and mortality rate in Brazil, classified by CVD. This is a descriptive study, with secondary data from the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System (SIH/SUS). Hospital admissions, deaths and mortality rate due to CVD in the Brazilian population aged over 20 years were analyzed, according to region, sex and age group. Statistical analysis was performed using the GraphPad Prism program. Data normality was assessed using the Komogorov Smirnov test and the comparison between groups and year periods was performed using the two-way ANOVA test with Tukey's post hoc test. A value of p<0.05 was considered significant. In this study, in most analyses, a reduction in the hospitalization rates of the adult population was observed after the implementation of the plan, however, there was no improvement in relation to the number of deaths and mortality rate from CVD. This shows that there is still a long way to go to reduce the impact of these diseases in Brazil, and they reaffirm the need for and importance of maintaining the prevention of their risk factors, the social determinants of health and the reorganization of care in the face of to population aging. Such findings contribute with information that allow better control and monitoring of CVD and should be considered when implementing new strategies for prevention, care and control of risk factors.

Produção científica em saúde coletiva pós-implantação do Programa Nacional de Segurança do Paciente / Scientific production in public health after the implementation of the National Patient Safety Program / Producción científica en salud colectiva post implantación del Programa Nacional de Seguridad del Paciente

Objetivo: Caracterizar as dissertações e teses produzidas nos programas de pós-graduação da área da saúde coletiva relacionadas à segurança do paciente pós-implantação do Programa Nacional de Segurança do Paciente no Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de pesquisa documental, de abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvida a partir da coleta de dados de dissertações e teses disponíveis no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, acessado por meio eletrônico. Os dados foram obtidos em março de 2019 e analisados por estatística descritiva simples. Resultados: A maioria das pesquisas foi desenvolvida nos cursos stricto sensu de mestrado profissional (73,02%) e acadêmico (23,81%). Em relação às instituições de ensino superior, o maior percentual se caracterizou como pública (85,72%) e da região Nordeste (50,17%). Dos estudos, 63,49% não estavam relacionados com nenhum dos protocolos básicos de segurança do paciente. Conclusão: Identificou-se maior investigação em nível de mestrado, bem como o desenvolvimento de pesquisas predominantemente em hospitais, e que abordam, com maior intensidade, a segurança no uso de medicamentos, a cultura de segurança nos serviços de saúde e os incidentes e eventos adversos nos serviços de saúde. Descritores: Segurança do Paciente; Pesquisa; Saúde Coletiva

Objective: To characterize the dissertations and theses produced in graduate programs in the public health field related to patient safety after the implementation of the National Patient Safety Program in Brazil. Methods: This is a quantitative documentary study of data collected from dissertations and theses available in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel retrieved electronically. Data were collected in March 2019 and analyzed using simple descriptive statistics. Results: Most of the studies were carried out in the professional (73.02%) and academic (23.81%) stricto sensu programs. With regard to the higher education institutions, most of them were public (85.72%) and in the Northeast region (50.17%). In all, 63.49% of the studies were not related to any of the basic patient safety protocols. Conclusion: Most studies were developed in master's programs and predominantly conducted in hospitals. They addressed mainly safety in the use of medicines, safety culture in health services and incidents and adverse events in health services. Descriptors: Patient Safety; Research; Public Health
