Post-COVID-19 syndrome among hospitalized COVID-19 patients: a cohort study assessing patients 6 and 12 months after hospital discharge. / Síndrome pós-COVID-19 entre hospitalizados por COVID-19: estudo de coorte após 6 e 12 meses da alta hospitalar.

Post-COVID-19 syndrome involves a variety of symptoms that last more than 12 weeks after COVID diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze post-COVID-19 syndrome among hospitalized COVID-19 patients 6 and 12 months after hospital discharge. This is an ambidirectional cohort study conducted with individuals who were discharged from three main hospitals in the capital of Mato Grosso State, Brazil, between October and December 2021 and January and March 2022. After data collection from medical records, the individuals were interviewed by telephone 6 and 12 months after hospital discharge, when they were asked about the presence of ongoing or new symptoms and when symptom frequency was evaluated according to sociodemographic and economic characteristics hospitalization, and health conditions. Of all 277 medical records evaluated, 259 patients were eligible to participate in the study, 190 patients six months after discharge and 160 patients 12 months after hospital discharge. At six months, 59% were female patients, 40% were aged 60 years or older, and 87.4% reported at least one symptom. At 12 months, 58.7% were female patients, 37.5% were aged 30 to 49 years, and 67.5% reported at least one symptom. Fatigue was the most common symptom 6 and 12 months after hospital discharge (55.3% and 40.6%, respectively), followed by memory problems (36.8%; 20%), and hair loss (26.8%; 11.2%). The prevalence of post-COVID-19 syndrome was higher among patients of older age, lower income, with hypertension, diabetes, and more severe infection during hospitalization. The risk factors for post-COVID-19 syndrome help understand the long-term effects and the importance of monitoring after the acute phase of the disease.

Temporal analysis and spatial distribution of acquired syphilis in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, 2010-2021: an ecological study.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the temporal trend and the spatial distribution of acquired syphilis in Mato Grosso, Brazil, between 2010 and 2021. METHODS: This was an ecological study using notifications of acquired syphilis held on the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System. Detection rates were calculated by health macro-region and three-year periods (2010-2012, 2013-2015, 2016-2018, 2019-2021). The jointpoint method was used to calculate annual percentage change (APC). Thematic maps of Bayesian rates were built and distribution was analyzed using Local Moran. RESULTS: The detection rate increased from 16.2 per 100,000 inhabitants in the first three-year period (2010-2012) to 70.0 in the last three-year period (2019-2021). The Central-North macro-region had the highest rate in the last three years (94.3/100,000 inhab.), while the highest upward trend occurred in the Central-Northwest macro-region, from 2013 to 2018 (APC = 50.2; 95%CI 26.3;78.6). There was an increase in Bayesian rates in most municipalities. CONCLUSION: There was a trend towards an increase in acquired syphilis, especially in the last two three-year periods.

Resumo Objetivo analisar o Conhecimento, Atitudes e Práticas (CAP) dos profissionais de saúde, durante a assistência às pessoas idosas vivendo com demência em relação às situações de cuidado vivenciadas pelos cuidadores informais e a associação com fatores sociodemográficos e profissionais. Método estudo transversal e analítico, do tipo CAP, realizado no município de Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso, Brasil, com 20 enfermeiros e 20 médicos das Unidades de Saúde da Família. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista utilizando-se um instrumento desenvolvido a partir da literatura disponível sobre estudos CAP. Realizou-se análise descritiva e análise bivariada da associação entre as variáveis conhecimento, atitudes e práticas dos profissionais de saúde e as variáveis sociodemográficas e profissionais, utilizando o teste exato de Fisher, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados os profissionais de saúde apresentaram conhecimento satisfatório e atitude favorável sobre as situações de cuidado vivenciadas pelos cuidadores informais de pessoas idosas vivendo com demência. Dos profissionais, 65% possuem práticas insuficientes direcionadas aos cuidadores, incluindo orientações, grupos de apoio e educação em saúde. Não houve associação significativa entre as variáveis conhecimento, atitudes e práticas e as variáveis sociodemográficas e profissionais. Conclusão embora os profissionais de saúde tenham conhecimento satisfatório sobre a situação de cuidado vivenciada pelos cuidadores e atitudes positivas em relação a eles, suas práticas se mostram insuficientes para atender suas necessidades, de forma a não contribuir para que os cuidadores possam lidar com as várias situações que o decorrer da doença ocasiona para a pessoa idosa e a eles.

Abstract Objective To analyze the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) of healthcare professionals during the care of older individuals living with dementia, concerning the caregiving situations experienced by informal caregivers, and its association with sociodemographic and professional factors. Method A cross-sectional analytical KAP study was conducted in the municipality of Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso, with 20 nurses and 20 physicians from Family Health Units. Data were collected through interviews using an instrument developed based on the available literature on KAP studies. Descriptive analysis and bivariate analysis of the association between the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare professionals and sociodemographic and professional variables were performed using the Fisher's exact test, with a significance level of 5%. Results Healthcare professionals demonstrated satisfactory knowledge and favorable attitudes towards caregiving situations experienced by informal caregivers of older individuals living with dementia. However, 65% of professionals exhibited insufficient practices directed at caregivers, including guidance, support groups, and health education. No significant association was found between knowledge, attitudes, practices, and sociodemographic or professional variables. Conclusion Despite healthcare professionals possessing satisfactory knowledge of caregiving situations and positive attitudes towards informal caregivers, their practices are inadequate in meeting their needs. This deficiency does not contribute to enabling caregivers to cope with the various challenges that arise during the course of the disease for both the older individual and the caregivers themselves.

Food and nutrition public establishments: assessment of the food environment.

This article aims to assess the community food environment around areas with and without Food and Nutrition Public Establishments (FNPE). Cross-sectional study carried out in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The unit of analysis was the buffer (500m) around the FNPE and the census tracts without FNPE. The investigated establishments should market food for consumption at home and be located within the buffer of the areas with and without FNPE. Data collection performed by direct observation (active search) in August to October 2019. Data collected were location and type of commercial establishments, the density of the establishments was calculated. Descriptive analysis, spatial distribution (Kernel estimator) and Nearest Neighbor analysis were performed. Of the evaluated establishments, 60.5% were in the areas without FNPE and 39.6% in the areas with FNPE, showing a random distribution pattern. Of these, 24.2% were convenience stores and bakeries, 21.0% butcher stores, and 19.0% street markets. Seven FNPE were close to commercial establishments. There were fewer establishments around the FNPE, with convenience stores and bakeries predominating.

Which physical and social characteristics of Brazilian cities contribute to physical activity of adolescents?

This study aimed to analyze the association between adolescents' physical activity and the Brazilian capitals' built and social environment. The units of analysis of this ecological study were the 26 capitals and the Federal District, with data from the National Adolescent Health Survey (2012). The outcome variable was the reported regular physical activity (PA) of ninth graders in Brazilian schools. Exposure variables included characteristics of the natural environment, socioeconomic and educational indicators, urban infrastructure, urban violence, and sociocultural factors retrieved from several secondary sources of Brazilian databases. We adopted multiple linear regression to verify the association between PA and exposure variables. The percentage of active adolescents was 33.0% (95%CI: 32.1; 33.9). In the final model, higher PA was associated with lower temperature, higher Primary Education Development Index, the higher percentage of ramps for wheelchair users, and a higher percentage of leisure-time active adults. The data show that climatic and educational factors, the infrastructure, and the social environment of the capitals can contribute to Brazilian adolescents complying with the recommended weekly PA levels.

Coleta de dados realizada por observação direta (busca ativa) de agosto a outubro de 2019. Os dados coletados foram localização e tipo dos estabelecimentos comerciais, e também foi calculada a densidade dos estabelecimentos. Foram feitas análise descritiva, distribuição espacial (estimador de Kernel) e análise do vizinho mais próximo. Dos estabelecimentos avaliados, 60,5% estavam nas áreas sem EPSAN, e 39,6% nas áreas com EPSAN, apresentando padrão de distribuição aleatório. Desses, 24,2% eram lojas de conveniência e padarias, 21,0% açougues e 19,0% feiras-livres. Sete EPSAN encontravam-se próximos aos estabelecimentos comerciais. Havia menor número de estabelecimentos no entorno dos EPSAN, com predominância de lojas de conveniência e padaria.

Which physical and social characteristics of Brazilian cities contribute to physical activity of adolescents? / Quais características físicas e sociais das cidades brasileiras contribuem para atividade física de adolescentes?

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the association between adolescents' physical activity and the Brazilian capitals' built and social environment. The units of analysis of this ecological study were the 26 capitals and the Federal District, with data from the National Adolescent Health Survey (2012). The outcome variable was the reported regular physical activity (PA) of ninth graders in Brazilian schools. Exposure variables included characteristics of the natural environment, socioeconomic and educational indicators, urban infrastructure, urban violence, and sociocultural factors retrieved from several secondary sources of Brazilian databases. We adopted multiple linear regression to verify the association between PA and exposure variables. The percentage of active adolescents was 33.0% (95%CI: 32.1; 33.9). In the final model, higher PA was associated with lower temperature, higher Primary Education Development Index, the higher percentage of ramps for wheelchair users, and a higher percentage of leisure-time active adults. The data show that climatic and educational factors, the infrastructure, and the social environment of the capitals can contribute to Brazilian adolescents complying with the recommended weekly PA levels.

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a associação entre atividade física em adolescentes e ambientes construído e social das capitais brasileiras. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico cujas unidades de análise foram as 26 capitais e o Distrito Federal, com dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Adolescentes (2012). A variável de desfecho foi a prática regular de atividade física (AF) relatada pelos escolares do 9º ano de escolas brasileiras. As variáveis de exposição incluíram características do ambiente natural, indicadores socioeconômicos e educacionais, de infraestrutura, violência urbana e fatores socioculturais, obtidas de diferentes bases de dados de fontes secundárias brasileiras. Adotou-se a regressão linear múltipla para verificar a associação entre AF e variáveis de exposição. O percentual de adolescentes ativos foi de 33,0% (IC95%: 32,1; 33,9). No modelo final, foram associados à maior prática de AF: menor temperatura, maior Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica, maior percentual de rampa para cadeirante e maior percentual de adultos ativos no lazer. Os dados mostram que fatores climáticos e educacionais, a infraestrutura e o ambiente social das capitais podem contribuir para que os adolescentes brasileiros cumpram os níveis semanais recomendados de AF.

Associação entre intoxicação exógena e exposição ocupacional e ambiental de pacientes com câncer em Mato Grosso / Association between exogenous intoxication and occupational and environmental exposure of cancer patients in Mato Grosso

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a associação entre características sociodemográficas relacionadas à exposição ambiental e ocupacional e o autorrelato de intoxicação de pacientes com diagnóstico de câncer em Mato Grosso, Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com 998 pacientes com câncer atendidos em hospitais de referência do estado. A variável dependente foi obtida a partir do autorrelato de algum sintoma de intoxicação nos últimos 5 anos e se a intoxicação foi decorrente ou não do trabalho/ocupação. A associação entre características sociodemográficas relacionadas à intoxicação e à exposição ambiental e ocupacional e o autorrelato de intoxicação foi avaliada pelo teste exato de Fisher. Do total de entrevistados, 7,4% (IC95%: 6,0; 9,2) referiram intoxicação, sendo 2,3% dos casos (IC95%: 1,5; 3,4) decorrentes do trabalho. Os fatores associados ao autorrelato de intoxicação decorrente do trabalho foram ser do sexo masculino, ter escolaridade menor que 4 anos, sintoma de dor de cabeça, intoxicação por agrotóxico agrícola, por via respiratória e ter trabalhado com agrotóxicos, amianto, metais pesados e poeira industrial. Conclui-se que os indivíduos com maior exposição ocupacional aos agrotóxicos e a outros produtos químicos referiram maior ocorrência de intoxicações decorrentes do trabalho.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the association between sociodemographic characteristics, related to environmental and occupational exposure and self-report of intoxication in patients diagnosed with cancer in Mato Grosso, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study, with 998 cancer patients seen at referral hospitals in the state. The dependent variable was obtained from the self-report of some intoxication symptom in the last 5 years and whether or not the intoxication was caused by work/occupation. The association between sociodemographic characteristics, related to intoxication and environmental and occupational exposure and self-report of intoxication was assessed by Fisher's exact test. Of all respondents, 7.4% (95%CI: 6.0; 9.2) reported intoxication, and 2.3% (95%CI: 1.5; 3.4) were work-related. Factors associated with self-reported work-related intoxication were being male, having less than 4 years of education, headache, intoxication by agricultural pesticides, by respiratory route and having worked with pesticides, asbestos, heavy metals and industrial dust. It was concluded that individuals with higher occupational exposure to pesticides and other chemicals reported higher occurrence of poisoning due to work.

Social environment characteristics are related to self-rated health in four Latin America countries: Evidence from the SALURBAL Project.

We investigated the associations of social and built environment and demographic features of urban areas with self-rated health among adults living in four Latin American countries. We estimated multilevel models with harmonized data from 69,840 adults, nested in 262 sub-cities and 112 cities, obtained from the Salud Urbana en América Latina project. Poor self-rated health was inversely associated with services provision score at the sub-city-level and with social environment index at the city-level. We did not identify associations of built environment and demographic features with self-rated health. Approaches and policies to improve health in Latin American should be urban context-sensitive.

Physical and social neighborhood disorder in Latin American cities: a scoping review. / Desordem física e social da vizinhança em cidades da América Latina: revisão de escopo.

Neighborhood disorder is an important aspect that may influence the health of residents in urban areas. The aims of this study were to map and systematize methods for measuring physical and social neighborhood disorder in studies conducted in Latin American cities. By means of a scoping review, articles published from 2000 in English, Spanish, and Portuguese with the following descriptors were mapped: neighborhood, physical disorder, and social disorder. Searches were conducted in MEDLINE (PubMed), LILACS (Virtual Health Library), Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. Information on authorship, year, study type, locality, data source, target population, outcome, dominion, indicator, method, geographic unit, and unit of analysis was extracted. Variables from the disorder-related studies were extracted and grouped by similarity of content and themes. A total of 22 articles were identified, all published between 2012 and 2022, the majority in Brazil (n = 16). The perception of the individual was the most used method. The most frequent theme addressed in the physical disorder dominion was public streets (n = 20) and security (n = 15), in the social disorder dominion. A lack of consensus in the literature regarding variables used to measure physical and social neighborhood disorder in Latin American cities was detected. In addition to the need for standardization of the theme, studies to verify the sustainability of proposed measurement methods relevant to dynamically classify and compare urban neighborhoods and health impacts based on levels of exposure to physical and social disorder, are recommended.

A desordem da vizinhança é um importante aspecto que pode impactar a saúde de residentes em áreas urbanas. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram mapear e sistematizar os métodos de mensuração da desordem física e social na vizinhança em estudos realizados em cidades da América Latina. Por meio de revisão de escopo, foram mapeados artigos publicados a partir do ano 2000 em inglês, espanhol e português com os seguintes descritores: vizinhança, desordem física e desordem social. As buscas foram realizadas no MEDLINE (PubMed), LILACS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), Scopus, Web of Science e Biblioteca Cochrane. Foram extraídas informações sobre autoria, ano, tipo de estudo, local, fonte de dados, população-alvo, desfecho, domínio, indicador, método, unidade geográfica e unidade de análise. As variáveis dos estudos relacionadas à desordem foram extraídas e agrupadas pela similaridade dos conteúdos e temas. Foram identificados 22 artigos, publicados entre 2012 e 2022, sendo a maioria do Brasil (n = 16). A percepção do indivíduo foi o método mais utilizado. O tema mais frequentemente abordado no domínio da desordem física foi vias públicas (n = 20), enquanto no domínio social foi segurança (n = 15). Detectou-se ausência de consenso na literatura quanto às variáveis utilizadas para aferir a desordem física e social da vizinhança em cidades da América Latina. Além da necessidade de padronização do tema, recomendam-se estudos que verifiquem a sustentabilidade de métodos de mensuração propostos, relevantes para classificar e comparar, de forma dinâmica, vizinhanças urbanas e os impactos na saúde com base nos níveis de exposição à desordem física e social.

El desorden del vecindario es un aspecto importante que puede influir en la salud de los residentes en áreas urbanas. Los objetivos fueron mapear y sistematizar los métodos de medición del desorden físico y social en el vecindario en estudios realizados en ciudades de América Latina. Por medio de una revisión de alcance, fueron mapeados artículos publicados a partir del año 2000 en inglés, español y portugués, que poseían los siguientes descriptores: vecindario, desorden físico y desorden social. Las búsquedas se realizaron en MEDLINE (PubMed), LILACS (Biblioteca Virtual en Salud), Scopus, Web of Science y Librería Cochrane. Se extrajeron informaciones sobre la autoría, el año, el tipo de estudio, la ubicación, la fuente de datos, la población objetivo, el resultado, el dominio, el indicador, el método, la unidad geográfica y la unidad de análisis. Las variables de los estudios relacionados con el desorden fueron extraídas y agrupadas por la similitud de los contenidos y temas. Fueron identificados 22 artículos, todos publicados entre 2012 y 2022, siendo la mayoría de Brasil (n = 16). La percepción del individuo fue el método más utilizado. El tema más frecuente abordado en el ámbito del desorden físico fue el de las vías públicas (n = 20) y seguridad (n = 15), en lo social. Se detectó una falta de consenso en la literatura en cuanto a las variables utilizadas para medir el desorden físico y social del vecindario en ciudades de América Latina. Además de la necesidad de estandarización del tema, se recomiendan estudios que verifiquen la sostenibilidad de los métodos de medición propuestos, relevantes para clasificar y comparar, de forma dinámica, los vecindarios urbanos y los impactos en la salud con base en niveles de exposición a desorden físico y social.

Adherence to school meals and co-occurrence of the healthy and unhealthy food markers among Brazilian adolescents.

The aim of this study was to analyze the association between adherence to school meals and the co-occurrence of the regular consumption of healthy and unhealthy eating markers among Brazilian adolescents. Data from 67,881 adolescents in Brazilian public schools who participated in the 2015 National School Health Survey, were used. From the 7-day FFQ, the dependent variable was constructed, co-occurrence of regular consumption (≥ 5x/week) of healthy and unhealthy food markers, which was categorized as regular consumption of none, one or two, or three eating markers. We performed an ordinal logistic regression with adjustment for sociodemographic, eating habits outside of school, and school characteristics variables. The prevalence of the co-occurrence of the regular consumption of three healthy eating markers was 14.5%, and that of three unhealthy markers was 4.9%. High adherence to school meals (every day) was positively associated with regular consumption of healthy eating markers and inversely associated with regular consumption of unhealthy eating markers. The school meals provided by PNAE contribute to the promotion of healthy eating habits among Brazilian adolescents.

Resumo Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a associação entre a adesão à alimentação escolar e a coocorrência do consumo regular de marcadores de alimentação saudável e não saudável entre adolescentes brasileiros. Foram avaliados 67.881 adolescentes de escolas públicas brasileiras participantes da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (PeNSE) de 2015. A partir do QFA de sete dias, construiu-se a variável dependente, coocorrência do consumo regular (≥ 5x/semana) de marcadores de alimentação saudável e não saudável, que foi categorizada em consumo regular de nenhum; um ou dois; ou três marcadores de alimentação. Realizou-se regressão logística ordinal com ajuste para variáveis sociodemográficas, hábitos alimentares fora da escola e características da escola. A prevalência da coocorrência do consumo regular de três marcadores de alimentação saudável foi de 14,5%, e de três marcadores de alimentação não saudável foi de 4,9%. A alta adesão à alimentação escolar (todos os dias) foi positivamente associada ao consumo regular de marcadores de alimentação saudável e inversamente associada ao consumo regular de marcadores de alimentação não saudável. A alimentação escolar fornecida pelo PNAE contribui para a promoção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis entre os adolescentes brasileiros.

Home-based gait speed and the association with sociodemographic and anthropometric variables: A national study (ELSI-Brazil).

OBJECTIVES: To investigate home-based gait speed performance for men and women stratified by age group and its associations with sociodemographic and anthropometric variables. METHODS: Data from the 2nd wave of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil, 2019-2021) were used. Gait speed was tested twice at home over 3.0 meters at usual pace. Associations of sociodemographic and anthropometric variables with gait speed were evaluated using gamma regression. RESULTS: Median gait speed value reduced with increasing age in both sexes [men: 0.70 m/s (50-59 years) to 0.53 m/s (≥80 years); women: 0.68 m/s (50-59 years) to 0.48 m/s (≥80 years)] and was significantly lower in women than men in the age groups of 60-69 and 70-79 years. Age group and education among men and age group, education, and waist circumference among women were significantly associated with gait speed. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings may be helpful as reference values to identify mobility limitation among older Brazilians.

Prevalence of Ivermectin use to prevent COVID-19 during the pandemic in Mato Grosso: cross-sectional home-based study.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the use of ivermectin as COVID-19 prevention method by the population of Mato Grosso in 2020. METHODS: This is a home-based survey, carried out between September and October 2020, in 10 pole cities of the socioeconomic regions of State. The use of ivermectin was evaluated through the question: "Did you take ivermectin to prevent COVID-19?". Sociodemographic variables (sex, age group, education, family income), current work situation, being benefitted by government financial programs, as well as symptoms, seroprevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, and previous diagnosis of COVID-19 were evaluated. Prevalence and their associations were estimated using the chi-square test. RESULTS: 4.206 individuals were evaluated for prevalence of ivermectin use; 58.3% of the individuals responded positively, this rate being higher in the municipalities of the western region of the state (66.6%). There was no significant difference between sexes, but the prevalence was higher among people aged 50-59 years (69.7%), who were white (66.5%), with complete higher education or more (68.8%) and higher family income (≥3 minimum wages-64.2%). The use of this drug was even higher among participants who considered their knowledge of the disease good or very good (65.0%), who reported having symptoms of COVID-19 (75.3%), and who had been previously diagnosed with the disease (91.2%). CONCLUSION: There was a high prevalence of use of ivermectin as a method to prevent covid-19 by the population of Mato Grosso, indicating the need for strategies to inform the population about the risks of off-label use of drugs and to combat the advertising of drugs that are ineffective against COVID-19.

Trend of incompleteness of maternal schooling and race/skin color variables held on the Brazilian Live Birth Information System, 2012-2020.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the trend of incompleteness of the maternal schooling and race/skin color variables held on the Brazilian Live Birth Information System (SINASC) between 2012 and 2020. METHODS: this was an ecological time series study of the incompleteness of maternal schooling and race/skin color data for Brazil, its regions and Federative Units, by means of joinpoint regression and calculation of annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change. RESULTS: a total of 26,112,301 births were registered in Brazil in the period; incompleteness of maternal schooling data decreased for Brazil (APC = -8.1%) and the Southeast (APC = -19.5%) and Midwest (APC = -17.6%) regions; as for race/skin color, there was a downward trend for Brazil (APC = -8.2%) and all regions, except the Northeast region, while nine Federative Units and the Federal District showed a stationary trend. CONCLUSION: there was an improvement in filling out these variables on the SINASC, but with regional disparities, mainly for race/skin color.
