ABSTRACT

Viral hepatitis are widely spread infectious diseases caused by a variety of etiological agents that displays liver tropism as a common characteristic. A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational and retrospective study was conducted through the analysis of viral hepatitis medical records treated and diagnosed from 2010 to 2015. The relationship between the variables were made through the chi-square test. 632 viral hepatitis medical records were analyzed. The highest number of cases happened in 2011. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection was predominant. The most affected age group was < 20 years and the highest number of cases observed in this age group was related to HAV (p<0.001). The acute clinical form was predominant, with 70.2% of the cases. 92.3% of which corresponded to HAV infection (p<0.001). Most of the cases occurred in the brown race and male gender. Moreover, regarding the probable source/mechanism of infection, the contact with suspicious water/food for hepatitis A cases was highlighted. The sexual form predominated in HBV infection and previous history of blood transfusion in cases of hepatitis C. Most cases were spotted in the mesoregion of Eastern Alagoas, especially in the capital Maceió. It must be observed the importance of knowing the profile of this disease in order to understand its dissemination and thus have subsidies for the creation of actions and strategies to combat the infection.


A hepatite viral é uma doença infecciosa amplamente difundida causada por uma variedade de agentes etiológicos que exibem o tropismo hepático como uma característica comum. Um estudo descritivo, transversal, observacional e retrospectivo foi realizado por meio da análise de prontuários de hepatites virais tratados e diagnosticados de 2010 a 2015. A relação entre as variáveis foi feita através do teste qui-quadrado. Foram analisados 632 prontuários de hepatite sustero. O maior número de casos aconteceu em 2011. A infecção pelo vírus da hepatite A (HAV) foi predominante. A faixa etária mais atingida foi < 20 anos e o maior número de casos observados nessa faixa etária foi relacionado ao HAV (p<0,001). A forma clínica aguda foi predominante, com 70,2% dos casos. 92,3% dos quais corresponderam à infecção por HAV (p<0,001). A maioria dos casos ocorreu na raça parda e no sexo masculino. Além disso, quanto à provável fonte/mecanismo de infecção, foi destacado o contato com água/alimento suspeitos para os casos de hepatite A. A forma sexual predominou na infecção pelo HbV e histórico anterior de transfusão de sangue em casos de hepatite C. A maioria dos casos foi avistada na mesorregião do Leste de Alagoas, especialmente na capital Maceió. Deve-se observar a importância de conhecer o perfil dessa doença para entender sua disseminação e, assim, contar com subsídios para a criação de ações e estratégias de combate à infecção.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Hoy día, las enfermedades infecciosas constituyen una de las causas de muerte más frecuentes, de ahí que la actual epidemia de hepatitis es un problema de salud a escala mundial. Las hepatitis B y C se propagan por medio del contacto con la sangre, el semen u otro líquido corporal de una persona infectada. Objetivo: Actualizar algunos elementos sobre las hepatitis virales crónicas como un problema de salud. Desarrollo: Se analizan aspectos de las hepatitis virales crónicas relacionados con las estadísticas globales, regionales y locales; también se abordan los indicadores de impacto, la epidemiología, las características de los virus y las formas de trasmisión. Conclusiones: Esta problemática se ha convertido en un grave problema de salud en todo el orbe y Cuba no está exenta de esta situación. El principal eslabón para prevenir y reducir el número de pacientes y la trasmisión de estas enfermedades es la atención primaria, donde el trabajo educativo y preventivo que se desarrolla en la comunidad es fundamental.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo aborda as hepatites virais, tema tratado no Protocolo Clínico e Diretrizes Terapêuticas para Atenção Integral às Pessoas com Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis e, mais precisamente, nos Protocolos Clínicos e Diretrizes Terapêuticas para Hepatite B e para Hepatite C e Coinfecções, publicados pelo Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. Além do espectro ampliado de acometimento da saúde, os vírus das hepatites A, B e C também apresentam diferentes formas de transmissão, seja parenteral, sexual, vertical ou oral. Entre as estratégias sugeridas para o controle das hepatites virais, além das medidas comportamentais, estão o diagnóstico ampliado, a vacinação precoce contra os vírus da hepatite A e hepatite B e o acesso aos recursos terapêuticos disponíveis. Considerando a transmissão vertical dos vírus da hepatite B e hepatite C, a triagem das gestantes portadoras crônicas desses vírus é uma importante estratégia de saúde perinatal, indicando com precisão quem pode se beneficiar das intervenções profiláticas disponíveis.


This article discusses viral hepatitis, a theme addressed by the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines to Comprehensive Care for People with Sexually Transmitted Infections and, more precisely, by the Clinical Protocols and Therapeutic Guidelines for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C and Coinfections, published by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Besides the broad spectrum of health impairment, hepatitis A, B and C viruses also present different forms of transmission, whether parenteral, sexual, vertical or oral. Among the strategies suggested for the control of viral hepatitis, in addition to behavioral measures, are expanded diagnosis, early vaccination against hepatitis A and hepatitis B viruses, and access to available therapeutic resources. Considering vertical transmission of the hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses, screening for pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B and C is an important perinatal health strategy, indicating with precision those who can benefit from the prophylactic interventions.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El personal de salud se encuentra expuesto a contraer enfermedades infecto contagiosas en el ejercicio de su labor, una de ellas es la hepatitis B. Los estudiantes de atención prehospitalaria no se encuentran exentos de sufrir esta enfermedad, sobre todo por el contexto de las emergencias y desastres donde se desenvuelven. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de seroprotección para el virus de hepatitis B en estudiantes de atención prehospitalaria en una universidad en Colombia. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal realizado a estudiantes de atención prehospitalaria en el periodo febrero-junio de 2017. No se utilizó ninguna técnica de muestreo porque se incluyó la totalidad de los estudiantes en práctica. Se aplicó un cuestionario con preguntas de datos sociodemográficos, registro del esquema de vacunación para hepatitis B y el resultado de los anticuerpos (Anti-HBs). Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó Microsoft Excel 2010, se construyeron estadísticas descriptivas. Las variables numéricas se describieron con base en medidas de tendencia central y variabilidad, las variables categóricas se describieron con base en prevalencias y distribuciones porcentuales. Resultados: En la caracterización de los 103 estudiantes evaluados se encontró que el 98 por ciento obtuvo títulos de anticuerpos (Anti-HBs) mayores a 10 UI/ml, considerándose como reactivos a las dosis de las vacunas, alcanzando títulos protectores. Sin embargo, el 93 por ciento no cumplió con el esquema de vacunación establecido. Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos evidencian la efectividad de las dosis aplicadas de vacuna para el virus de hepatitis B para obtener los títulos de anticuerpos a estudiantes de atención prehospitalaria en una universidad en Colombia. Pero existen incumplimientos en los tiempos recomendados para la aplicación de cada una de las dosis y en el tiempo de toma de los títulos(AU)


Introduction: Health personnel are at risk of infectious diseases when doing their job. One of them is hepatitis B. Prehospital care students are not free from suffering this disease, especially due to the emergencies and disasters context in which they work. Objective: To determine the prevalence of seroprotection for the hepatitis B virus in prehospital care students at a university in Colombia. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study carried out on prehospital care students during the period February-June 2017. No sampling technique was used because all the students in practice were included. A questionnaire was applied with questions of social-demographic data, registration of the vaccination schedule for hepatitis B and result of (Anti-HBs) antibodies. For statistical analysis, Microsoft Excel 2010 was used and descriptive statistics were designed. Numerical variables were described based on measures of central tendency and variability, categorical variables were described based on prevalence and percentage distributions. Results: In the depiction of the 103 students who were evaluated, it was found that 98 percent obtained antibody titers (Anti-HBs) bigger than 10 IU / ml, being considered as reactive to the doses of the vaccines and getting protective titles. However, 93 percent did not fill the established vaccination schedule. Conclusions: It can be concluded that the results obtained show the effectiveness of the applied doses of vaccine for the hepatitis B virus to obtain antibody titers to prehospital care students at a university in Colombia. But there are breaches in the recommended times for the application of each of the doses and in the time of taking the antibody titers(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The Amazon tropical rainforest has the most dense and diverse ecosystem worldwide. A few studies have addressed rodent-borne diseases as potential hazards to humans in this region. METHODS: A retrospective survey was conducted using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting mammarenavirus and orthohantavirus antibodies in 206 samples collected from rural settlers of the Brazilian Western Amazonian region. RESULTS: Six (2.91%) individuals in the age group of 16 to 36 years were found to possess antibodies against mammarenavirus. CONCLUSION: Evidence of previous exposure to mammarenavirus in the rural population points to its silent circulation in this region.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Descrever a situação epidemiológica das hepatites virais no Estado de Goiás de 2013 a 2017. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo do tipo retrospectivo, descritivo dos casos notificados e confirmados das hepatites virais no Estado de Goiás. Os dados foram obtidos de fontes secundárias, fornecidos pela Coordenação Estadual de Hepatites Virais e pelo Sistema Nacional de Informações (SINAN). Resultados: Entre 2013 a 2017 foram notificados 29.358 casos de hepatites, desses 7.762 confirmados. O sorotipo mais prevalente foi a hepatite B com 5.607 episódios, seguido de hepatite tipo C (1.713) e hepatite tipo A (208 casos). De acordo com a forma clínica, a hepatite B crônica foi a mais frequente, perfazendo 1.727 ocorrências, de um total de 2.051 casos, seguida da forma aguda com 323 notificações. Dentre as formas de contaminação para a Hepatite B e C na população goiana, a via sexual foi a mais representativa com 1.038 e 153 casos, respectivamente. Não houve predominância entre os sexos para os casos de hepatite B, mas foi observado maior número de ocorrência entre os homens para a hepatite C, no período estudado. Conclusão: Continuam elevados os números para as hepatites em Goiás no período estudado. Dentre todos os sorotipos, o tipo B foi o mais prevalente. A forma clínica mais frequente foi a hepatite B crônica, sendo a via sexual a fonte mais frequente de contaminação, não havendo diferença predominante entre os sexos. Os dados confirmam a necessidade de planejamento e/ou incremento de ações específicas para promoção de saúde e prevenção das situações de contaminação, com campanhas de alertas e orientações, além de atividades frequentes de educação em saúde, a fim de se evitar as consequências adversas da infecção ao nível individual e para todo o contexto da saúde pública


Objective: To describe the epidemiological situation of Viral Hepatitis in Goiás from 2013 to 2017. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study of the reported and confirmed cases of viral hepatitis in Goiás. Data were obtained from secondary sources, provided by the State Coordination of Viral Hepatitis and the National Information System (SINAN). Results: Between 2013 and 2017, 7762 were reported according to the etiological classification. Of these, the most prevalent was Hepatitis B with 5,607 cases, followed by type C hepatitis (1713) and type A hepatitis (208). According to the clinical form, chronic hepatites B was the most frequent, accounting for 1,727, followed by the acute form with 323 reports. Among the forms of contamination for Hepatitis B and C in the population, the sexual route was the most frequent with 1,038 and 153 cases, respectively. There was no predominance between the sexes for cases of hepatitis B, but a greater number of occurrences was observed among men for hepatitis C in the studied period. Conclusion: Among all types of hepatitis, type B was the most prevalent in Goiás in the period studied. The most frequent clinical form was chronic hepatitis, with the sexual route being the most frequent source of contamination, with no significant difference between the genders. The data confirm the need to plan or increase specific actions for health promotion and prevention of contamination situations, with alert campaigns and guidelines, as well as frequent health education activities, in order to avoid the adverse consequences of infection for individuals and the whole context of public health

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Viral hepatitis is a group of diseases that present high hepatotropism and are related to liver dysfunctions, having either an acute or a chronic course. Their worldwide epidemiology is diverse, with several endemic places, such as South America. The objective of this study was to analyze the epidemiology of viral hepatitis in Brazil, in order to better understand its pattern of distribution and evolution. Method: A temporal aggregation study was conducted using the Viral Hepatitis Database of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The serological markers used were HBsAg and anti-HCV for hepatitis B and C, respectively. Mortality data were collected from the Mortality Information System for deaths attributed to viral hepatitis. The period analyzed was from 2007 to 2016/17. Results: The incidence was 7.88 (95% CI, 7.30-8.45) for hepatitis B and 11.9 (95% CI, 11.15-12.65) for hepatitis C. Mortality attributed to viral hepatitis was 1.61 (95% CI, 1.35-1.87) deaths per 100,000 people. An analysis of municipal distribution data showed several endemic areas. The Brazilian regions most affected by hepatitis B virus were the northern and southern borders, Santa Catarina coast and Espírito Santo state, while hepatitis C virus was mostly present in metropolitan areas such as Porto Alegre and São Paulo. Conclusions: Viral hepatitis has a diverse geographic distribution in the Brazilian territory, with highly endemic areas. The distribution differs between hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses. (AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the distribution of health care services for viral hepatitis and reported cases of viral hepatitis according to the health regions of Northern Brazil. Method: It is an evaluative, descriptive and quantitative research considering viral hepatitis care services and reported cases in the Northern region of Brazil, using data collected from the National Registry of Health Establishments and the Notifiable Diseases Information System. Descriptive statistics and georeferencing, through software, were used to demonstrate the spatial distribution of services and reported cases. Results: Viral hepatitis health services are distributed in a differentiated way; rapid tests are capillaries in the states; confirmatory tests and treatment are performed in some health regions, with a greater grouping of services in the capitals and their surroundings. Cases were reported across all regions, with areas of higher concentration near services. Conclusion: The availability of services can favor access to prevention, diagnosis and monitoring of cases. However, organizational peculiarities of the health system and services highlight fragilities that have repercussions on the access and entirety of viral hepatitis care.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a distribuição dos serviços de saúde de atenção às hepatites virais e os casos notificados de hepatites virais segundo as regiões de saúde dos estados do Norte do Brasil. Método: Trata-se de pesquisa avaliativa, descritiva e quantitativa considerando os serviços de atenção e casos notificados de hepatites virais na região Norte do Brasil. Foram coletados dados do Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde e do Sistema de Informação de Agravos e Notificação. Utilizou-se estatística descritiva e georreferenciamento por meio de software para visualizar a distribuição espacial dos serviços e os casos notificados. Resultados: Os serviços são distribuídos de maneira diferenciada; testes rápidos apresentam-se capilarizados nos estados; demais exames para confirmar o diagnóstico e o tratamento são realizados em algumas regiões de saúde, com maior agrupamento de serviços nas capitais e suas cercanias. Verificam-se casos notificados de maneira pulverizada nas regiões, com áreas de maior concentração próximas aos serviços. Conclusão: A disponibilidade de serviços pode favorecer o acesso e a adoção de medidas de prevenção, diagnóstico e monitoramento de casos. Entretanto, peculiaridades organizacionais do sistema e serviços de saúde evidenciam fragilidades que repercutem no acesso e na integralidade da atenção às hepatites virais.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Descrever e analisar a epidemiologia das hepatites virais. MÉTODOS: Estudo epidemiológico descritivo realizado por meio da análise de dados obtidos do banco de dados da plataforma do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde relativos ao Estado de Minas Gerais, com as variáveis número de casos, hepatite viral CID 10 (B15 a B19), faixa etária, forma de transmissão, sexo e etnia no período de 2010 a 2017. RESULTADOS: Somaram-se 14.308 casos de hepatite A, B e C entre 2010 e 2017 em Minas Gerais. A hepatite C foi a mais prevalente com 50%, seguido da hepatite B com 39% e da hepatite A com 11%. O sexo masculino (70,2%) contrastou com o feminino (50,8%) no panorama geral. Quanto à etnia, foram obtidos 38% na parda e 37,5% na branca, em contraste com 0,4% na indígena. A faixa etária mais acometida foi de 40 a 59 anos com 54% dos casos. Surpreendeu a manutenção do número de casos registrados de vírus C transmitidos via transfusão sanguínea, provavelmente antes do reconhecimento do vírus, nos anos 1990 (1.002 casos), além da existência de casos de vírus A transmitidos via sexual (30 casos). CONCLUSÃO: Em Minas Gerais, a epidemiologia das hepatites virais seguiu a tendência global em faixa etária e número de casos. Todavia tornase imprescindível considerar novas abordagens de prevenção e controle com foco em educação sexual em saúde independente, principalmente nas faixas etárias jovens e avançadas. (AU)


OBJECTIVE: To describe and analyze the epidemiology of viral hepatitis. METHODS: This is a descriptive epidemiological study based on the analysis of data from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System in the state of Minas Gerais, with the following variables: viral hepatitis ICD 10 (B15-B19), age range, way of transmission, gender, and ethnicity, from 2010 to 2017. RESULTS: There were 14,308 cases of hepatitis A, B, and C from 2010 to 2017 in the state of Minas Gerais. Hepatitis C vírus was the most prevalent with 50%, followed by hepatitis B virus with 39%, and hepatitis A virus with 11%. The male gender (70.2%) contrasted with the female (50.8%) in the general panorama. As for ethnicity, 38% were in the brown people, and 37.5% in the white people, compared to 0,4% in the indigenous people. The most affected age group was 40-59 years, with 54% of the cases. Surprisingly, the number of registered cases of C virus transmitted by blood transfusion was steady, probably before the virus was recognized in the 1990s (1002 cases), and there were cases of virus A transmitted via sexual intercourse (30 cases). CONCLUSION: In Minas Gerais, the epidemiology of viral hepatitis follows the global trend in terms of age range and number of cases; however, it is imperative to consider new approaches in prevention and control, focusing on sexually independent health education, mainly in the young and advanced age groups.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Acute viral hepatitis is a common problem in India. World wide data shows that 5 to 20 percent of this is caused by non A-E hepatitis. There is no data in India regarding non A-E hepatitis. We carried out this study to evaluate the epidemiology, clinical features, risk factors and outcome of non A-E hepatitis. Material and methods: In this single centre study, we evaluated all patients admitted with features of acute viral hepatitis at our hospital between the period of February to July 2015. A detailed history about the epidemiology, risk factors and clinical features was done. Patients were evaluated with bilirubin, transaminases and prothrombin time. Each patient was investigated for IgM HAV, IgM HEV, HBsAg and Antibody against hepatitis C. Patients turning out negative were investigated for presence of autoimmune hepatitis or Wilson's disease. All viral markers were repeated a week later to confirm non A-E status. Results: A total 265 patients were included of which 41 (15.4%) patients were non A-E hepatitis. They had higher age (28.55 vs 34.99, p<0.05) but similar gender and sub urban location. Median SEC classification was A2 in hepatitis A/E group as compared to A3 in non A-E group. The duration of symptoms and clinical features between the two groups were similar with Anorexia, Malasie, Nausea/vomiting being most common. The risk factors between the two groups were similar. The bilirubin and transaminases were non significantly lower than hepatitis A/E patients while albumin levels were significantly lower. The outcomes of both groups were similar with no mortality or fulminant hepatitis. Conclusion: Non A-E hepatitis patients tends to be older, lower SEC class and had lower albumin levels as compared to hepatitis A/E


Introdución: La hepatitis viral aguda es un problema común en la India. Los datos mundiales indican que el 5 al 20% es causada por hepatitis no A-E. No hay datos en la India sobre hepatitis no A-E. Objetivo: Se realiza este estudio para evaluar la epidemiología, clínica, factores de riesgo y pronóstico de la hepatitis no A-E. Material y métodos: En este estudio de un solo centro evaluamos a todos los pacientes que se admitieron con clínica de hepatitis viral aguda en nuestro hospital en el periodo de febrero a julio del 2015. Se realizó una historia detallada para evaluar la epidemiología, características clínicas. Se les tomó bilirrubinas, transaminasas y tiempo de protrombina. A cada paciente se le realizó HAV IgM, HEV IgM, HbsAg y anticuerpo anti hepatitis C. Los que fueron negativos se les estudió para hepatitis autoinmune y enfermedad de Wilson. Todos los marcadores virales se repitieron a la semana para confirmar hepatitis no A-E. Resultados: Se incluyeron 256 pacientes, 41 de ellos (15,4%) fueron hepatitis no A-E. Tuvieron más edad (28,55 vs 34,99, p<0,05), pero el mismo género y ubicación urbana. La clasificación media SEC fue A2 en el grupo hepatitis A/E, comparada con 3 en el grupo de no A-E. La duración de los síntomas y el desarrollo clínico fue similar en ambos grupos, siendo la anorexia el malestar general, las náuseas y los vómitos los más frecuentes. El factor de riesgo fue similar, al igual que las transaminasas, mientras que la albúmina fue significativamente menor. El resultado fue similar sin caso alguno de hepatitis fulminante. Conclusión: Los pacientes con hepatitis no A-E tienden a ser mayores, de clase SEC más baja y con valores de albumina más bajos que los pacientes con hepatitis A-E

ABSTRACT

Las hepatitis virales son enfermedades transmisibles, de evolución aguda y/o crónica, que alcanzan importancia mundial constituyendo un importante problema de salud pública por su morbimortalidad y también debido a los recursos de salud y económicos que insume, primordialmente, el tratamiento de las personas con hepatitis crónica. En este informe especial se analiza la distribución mundial de estas infecciones, y el acceso al tratamiento; así como la situación epidemiológica de Argentina y la Ciudad de Buenos Aires .Para el análisis de los casos de hepatitis virales de CABA se tomaron todos los casos confirmados y probables residentes, notificados a través del SNVS, tanto en el módulo C2 como SIVILA, entre los años 2010 a 2017. Se eliminaron los casos duplicados y se consolidó una base depurada. No se consideraron los casos con residencia desconocida. Se compara el nivel nacional y de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires de las tasas de notificación por 100.000 habitantes de Hepatitis virales A, B y C confirmadas, entre los años 2010-2016; y se analiza la distribución de los casos confirmados y probables de hepatitis virales según tipo de virus identificado y comuna de residencia

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Viral hepatitis comprises a group of viruses characterized by high global prevalence and hepatic tropism. Its epidemiology is extremely variable throughout the world, and South America is an endemic place. A better understanding of the regional reality is fundamental for proposing new public health measures. Methods: We conducted an aggregate temporal study of the Viral Hepatitis Database of the Ministry of Health of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), with an epidemiological profile of the reactive results of HBsAg and Anti-HCV tests, together with data on mortality from acute Hepatitis B and chronic viral hepatitis from the respective Health Macro-Regions from 2007 to 2015. Results: The incidence of new cases of hepatitis B in RS during the analyzed period was 11 (95% CI, 9.7-12.1) cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, the Northern region of the state, represented by the municipality of Passo Fundo, had 32.7 (95% CI, 28.3-37) and 22.8 (95% CI, 19.5-26) new cases of hepatitis B per 100,000 inhabitants for men and women, respectively. The incidence of new cases of hepatitis C in the State of Rio Grande do Sul was 29.2 (95% CI, 24.5-34.9 in 100,000 inhabitants). Conclusion: Viral hepatitis remains an important pathology in the context of Rio Grande do Sul and its Macro-Regions. (AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMO: Objetivo: Avaliar a completitude e a consistência das notificações de hepatites virais por acidentes de trabalho no Brasil entre 2007 e 2014. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico analítico de avaliação da qualidade dos dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação. Os dados foram analisados pelas frequências absoluta e relativa, variação percentual proporcional e pelo teste do χ2 linear. Resultados: A maior parte das variáveis obrigatórias e essenciais foi classificada em boa completitude, apesar de crescimento no período em estudo. A ocupação e a forma clínica foram classificadas como regular, com mais de 25,1% dos dados incompletos. A inconsistência foi considerada alta entre diferentes variáveis, superior a 15,0%, como por exemplo os marcadores sorológicos com os tipos de hepatites virais; e a idade com a ocupação e data de nascimento. Conclusões: Conclui-se que se faz necessária a avaliação da qualidade dos dados periodicamente, assim como a capacitação dos profissionais de saúde quanto ao preenchimento adequado e completo das notificações, o que contribui para atuação eficiente da vigilância das doenças transmissíveis e melhoria da qualidade de vida da população.


ABSTRACT: Objective: To assess the completeness and consistency of reports describing viral hepatitis caused by work-related accidents in Brazil between 2007 and 2014. Methods: This is an analytical, epidemiological study evaluating the quality of data from the Information System for Notifiable Diseases (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação). Data were analyzed using absolute and relative frequencies, proportional percentage variation, and a linear χ2 test. Results: The majority of mandatory and essential variables were classified with good completeness, despite growth during the study period. The occupation and clinical form variables were classified as normal when they had less than 25.1% incomplete data. Inconsistency was considered high among different variables above 15.0%, including, for example, serologic markers with the types of viral hepatitis and age with occupation and date of birth. Conclusions: We need to evaluate data quality periodically, in addition to train health professionals on the adequate way to completely fill out reports, because this contributes to the establishment of an efficient surveillance of communicable diseases and improves the population's quality of life.
