Características demográficas e utilização de recursos por pacientes com dermatite atópica no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) / Demographic characteristics and use of resources by patients with atopic dermatitis in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS)

Objetivo: O estudo tem por objetivo entender as características demográficas e a utilização de recursos para o tratamento da dermatite atópica (DA) no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo de dados disponibilizados pelo Departamento de Informática do SUS (Datasus). Os pacientes de interesse foram selecionados por meio do CID-10 L20 (DA). Os dados de interesse foram extraídos do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) e Ambulatoriais (SIA) do SUS. Foram extraídos dados de janeiro de 2015 a junho de 2020. Resultados: Foram identificados 27.813 pacientes que realizaram algum procedimento (ambulatorial ou hospitalar) relacionado diretamente com o CID-10 L20. A maior prevalência dos pacientes encontra-se no estado de SP, com 28,6% do total. Foram identificados 116 pacientes que utilizaram alguma das terapias sistêmicas utilizadas no tratamento da DA, sendo a ciclosporina o medicamento mais utilizado (53%). Todas as dispensações estão vinculadas a CIDs de doenças diferentes da DA, porém, pelas premissas adotadas nesse estudo, assumimos que os medicamentos utilizados foram para tratamento da DA, com exceção daqueles relacionados a transplante. Foram realizados 49.245 procedimentos/atendimentos. Identificaram-se 5.006 internações, realizadas por 4.616 pacientes. Foi observado um repasse total de R$ 2.007.757,13 para atendimentos; 77% desse total representam gastos com hospitalizações. Conclusões: Entender o perfil da população afetada pela DA no Brasil e o padrão de uso de recursos pode ajudar a compreender a carga da doença para o sistema público de saúde e auxiliar no desenvolvimento de protocolos clínicos e diretrizes terapêuticas para o tratamento da doença

Objective: The study aims to understand the demographic characteristics and use of resources related to atopic dermatitis (AD) treatment in the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS). Methods: Retrospective observational study of data obtained from Brazilian Health Informatics Department (Datasus). Patients of interest were selected using the ICD-10 L20 (AD). The data of interest were extracted from the Hospital (SIH) and the Outpatient Information System (SIA). Data were extracted from January 2015 to June 2020. Results: We identified 27,813 patients who underwent some procedure (outpatient or hospital) directly related to ICD-10 L20. The highest prevalence of patients is in the state of SP, with 28,6% of the total. We identified 116 patients who used some of the systemic therapies used in the treatment of AD, and cyclosporine was the most used drug (53%). However, all dispensations are linked to ICDs of diseases other than AD, but due to the premises adopted in this study, we assumed that the use of the drugs were for the treatment of AD, except for those related to transplantation. 49,245 procedures/visits were performed. A total of 5,006 hospitalizations were identified by 4,616 patients. A total transfer of 2,007,757.13 BRL was observed for health care, and 77% of this total represent hospitalization expenses. Conclusions: Understanding the profile of the population affected by AD in Brazil and the pattern of resource use can help to understand the burden of the disease on the public health system and assist in the development of clinical protocols and therapeutic guidelines for the treatment of the disease

Lipid profile and statin use in critical care setting: implications for kidney outcome.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether pre-hospital statin use is associated with lower renal replacement therapy requirement and/or death during intensive care unit stay. METHODS: Prospective cohort analysis. We analyzed 670 patients consecutively admitted to the intensive care unit of an academic tertiary-care hospital. Patients with ages ranging from 18 to 80 years admitted to the intensive care unit within the last 48 hours were included in the study. RESULTS: Mean age was 66±16.1 years old, mean body mass index 26.6±4/9kg/m2 and mean abdominal circumference was of 97±22cm. The statin group comprised 18.2% of patients and had lower renal replacement therapy requirement and/or mortality (OR: 0.41; 95%CI: 0.18-0.93; p=0.03). The statin group also had lower risk of developing sepsis during intensive care unit stay (OR: 0.42; 95%CI: 0.22-0.77; p=0.006) and had a reduction in hospital length-of-stay (14.7±17.5 days versus 22.3±48 days; p=0.006). Statin therapy was associated with a protective role in critical care setting independently of confounding variables, such as gender, age, C-reactive protein, need of mechanical ventilation, use of pressor agents and presence of diabetes and/or coronary disease. CONCLUSION: Statin therapy prior to hospital admission was associated with lower mortality, lower renal replacement therapy requirement and sepsis rates.

RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar se o uso pré-admissão hospitalar de estatina está associado com menor necessidade de diálise e/ou óbito durante internação em unidade de terapia intensiva. Métodos: Análise de coorte prospectiva. Foram incluídos consecutivamente 670 pacientes admitidos na unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital acadêmico de cuidados terciários. Os pacientes incluídos deveriam ter entre 18 e 80 anos e ter sido admitidos na unidade de terapia intensiva nas últimas 48 horas. Resultados: A média da idade dos pacientes foi de 66±16,1 anos. O índice de massa corporal foi de 26,6±4/9kg/m2 e a circunferência abdominal média foi de 97±22cm. O grupo que fez uso de estatina pré-admissão hospitalar (18,2% dos pacientes) necessitou menos de terapia de substituição renal e/ou evoluiu para óbito (OR: 0,41; IC95%: 0,18-0,93; p=0,03). O grupo que fez uso de estatina também apresentou menor risco de evoluir com sepse durante a internação na unidade de terapia intensiva (OR: 0,42; IC95%: 0,22-0,77; p=0,006) e teve menor duração da hospitalização (14,7±17,5 dias versus 22,3±48 dias; p=0,006). A terapia pré-admissão hospitalar com estatina foi associada a papel protetor no cenário da terapia intensiva independentemente de variáveis confundidoras, como sexo, idade, proteína C-reativa, necessidade de ventilação mecânica, uso de vasopressores e diagnóstico de diabetes e/ou coronariopatia. Conclusão: A terapia com estatina antes da admissão hospitalar foi associada a menor mortalidade, menor necessidade de terapia de substituição renal e taxa de ocorrência de sepse.
