Spatial Distribution of Gestational Syphilis in Brazil: Socioeconomic and Health Services Inequalities.

We aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of gestational syphilis from 2008 to 2018 in Brazil and identify correlations with socioeconomic and health-care aspects. This ecological study used municipalities of Brazil as the unit of analysis. Data collection took place between June and July 2021. Data were extracted for 2008 to 2018, and information on the epidemic in animals in the country was obtained from data records. The gestational syphilis detection rate was the dependent variable, and the independent variables were the Municipal Human Development Index, the proportion of doctors per inhabitant in primary health care (PHC), and the percentage of PHC coverage. The data went through an aggregation process in 482 immediate regions of urban articulation. The global Moran's I index and the local spatial correlation indicator detected territorial clusters using GeoDa software. The gestational syphilis detection rate was distributed unevenly in the immediate regions of urban articulation between 2008 and 2018, and presented a negative spatial correlation with the Municipal Human Development Index (Moran's I = -0.243, P ≤ 0.05), the percentage of PHC coverage (Moran's I = -0.163, P ≤ 0.05), and the proportion of doctors per inhabitants in PHC (Moran's I = -0.164, P ≤ 0.05). Socioeconomic inequalities, mainly related to the availability of human resources and access to health services, are correlated with the spatial distribution of gestational syphilis in Brazil. Investments in social policies and strengthening of PHC are essential for controlling gestational syphilis.

HIV epidemic in a province of the Brazilian Amazon region: Temporal trend analysis.

BACKGROUND: Although considerable progress has been made over the last decades, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) incidence and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) mortality rates have remarkably increased in the Brazilian Amazon region. Here, we employed temporal analysis to determine the impact of public policies on the HIV epidemic in the state of Pará, Brazil, which has the second highest HIV incidence rate in the Amazon region. DESIGN AND METHODS: This is an ecological study conducted in the state of Pará, employing secondary data of HIV/AIDS cases notified to the Information System for Notifiable Diseases, 2007-2018. The following epidemiological variables were collected: year of notification, municipality of residence, age, sex, education, exposure category, and HIV/AIDS diagnostic criteria. The study population was composed of 21,504 HIV/AIDS cases. The HIV/AIDS incidence rates were analyzed employing the temporal trend analysis (TTA) followed by the chi-square test and residue analysis to determine the association between the epidemiological variables and time series periods. RESULTS: A total of 50% of the notifications were composed of AIDS cases. TTA identified two periods in HIV/AIDS incidence, with stabilization of cases in the first period (G1, 2007-2012) and an upward trend in the second period (G2, 2012-2018). The most prevalent epidemiological characteristics in G2 (versus G1) were as follows: young people, brown skin color, higher schooling, and homosexuals. CONCLUSIONS: Public policy to control HIV infection in the Brazilian Amazon region has been partially effective. HIV screening tests and treatment should be made widely available to eradicate HIV infection in the Amazon region by 2030.

Prevalence of complications associated with the use of a peripherally inserted central catheter in newborns: A systematic review protocol.

BACKGROUND: The improper handling of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in newborns (NBs) may result in mechanical and infectious complications. AIM: The aim of this systematic review (SR) is to estimate the prevalence of complications associated with the use of PICC in NBs. METHODS: We will utilize PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Google Scholar for the databases search. There will be no restrictions on the search for languages, and observational studies will be selected wherein the prevalence rate of complications associated with the use of PICC in NBs has been presented or can be calculated. The systematic review will follow the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Two reviewers will independently select studies and assess their eligibility using predefined criteria. Using standardized forms, two other reviewers will independently extract data from each included study, and the random-effects pooled prevalence will be calculated in the meta-analysis with the respective 95% confidence intervals. The methodological quality of the studies will be assessed using the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Review Manager V.5.3.5 will be used for the qualitative and quantitative synthesis. A protocol was developed and published on PROSPERO (Registration number CRD42020211983). EXPECTED RESULTS: This SR will show the prevalence of complications caused by the inadequate management of PICC in NBs, which is information considered important for clinical practice improvement.
