Impacto da COVID-19 no rastreamento do câncer de mama no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) / Impact of COVID-19 on breast cancer screening in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS)

Objetivos: investigar o impacto da pandemia no rastreamento do câncer de mama no Sistema Único de Saúde e comparar os dados obtidos com os de outros países. Métodos: foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal quantitativo, com dados provenientes do Sistema de Informação do Câncer ­ SISCAN sobre o número de mamografias feitas de 2014 a 2022 por mulheres, no Brasil. Resultados: os dados referentes à mamografia na população de risco elevado demonstraram uma queda de 38,39% de 2019 para 2020. Enquanto na mamografia de rastreamento a queda foi ligeiramente maior, de 39,18% nesse mesmo período. Em relação à mamografia diagnóstica, a redução foi de 33,15%, e na mamografia de população-alvo, o ápice foi em 2019 com 2.721.075. Em contrapartida, a realização de mamografia em pacientes já tratadas, teve uma menor queda, de 9,35%. Conclusões: observou-se uma queda significativa no número de mamografias realizadas em 2019 e 2020, o que poderá acarretar em diagnósticos tardios da doença e piores prognósticos (AU).

Objectives: investigating the impact of the pandemic on breast cancer screening in the Unified Health System, in addition to comparing the data obtained from other countries. Methods: a quantitative cross-sectional observational study was carried out, with references from the Cancer Information System - SISCAN on the number of mammograms performed from 2014 to 2022 by women in Brazil. Results: data regarding mammography in the high-risk population showed a drop of 38,39% from 2019 to 2020. While in screening mammography, the decline was slightly more significant, at 39.18% in the same period. Regarding diagnostic mammography, the reduction was 33.15%, and in target population mammography, the peak was in 2019 with 2.721.075. On the other hand, the performance of mammography in patients already treated had a smaller decrease of 9.35%. Conclusions: there was a significant reduction in the number of mammograms performed in 2019 and 2020, which might lead to a late diagnosis of the disease and a worse prognosis (AU),

Dental caries spectrum profile in Brazilian public school children and adolescents.

Dental caries remains a major public health problem, with a higher prevalence among in adolescence. The present study aimed to assess the dental caries spectrum profile in children and adolescents in Brazilian public schools. A cross-sectional study was performed in two public schools in Brazil to examine the permanent teeth of children and adolescents. The dental caries were assessed by applying the Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment (CAST) instrument, and the results were distributed as per disease status (healthy/codes 0-2; pre-morbidity/code 3; morbidity/code 4-5; severe morbidity/codes 6-7; mortality/code 8) and by severity as per the CAST-F1 formula (no severity, mild, moderate, and severe). The CAST data were described by age groups (8-9 y, 10-11 y, 12-13 y, 14-15 y, 16-17 y, and 18-19 y). The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to investigate differences in CAST prevalence and severity among the groups (p < 0.05). Total 598 students were enrolled. Most of the subjects were male (53.34%) and belonged to the age group of 12-13 y (34.95%). The variables CAST 0/1 (p = 0.024), CAST (p = 0.024), and CAST-F1 (p = 0.029) showed significant differences among age groups, and the post hoc test showed the differences in these variables as per the age groups of 14-15 y and 16-17 y (CAST 0/1, p = 0.047; CAST, p = 0.047; CAST-F1, p = 0.033). The dental caries spectrum increased from 8 to 19 y with a peak in the prevalence and severity in the middle of adolescence.
