RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Una de las prioridades sanitarias de las políticas europeas es la obtención de información sobre enfermedades crónicas y de alta prevalencia; ésta se encuentra limitada por la calidad de los datos disponibles. El objetivo del estudio fue describir el comportamiento de las enfermedades crónicas más prevalentes a través de bases de datos de gestión administrativa.

Método:

Estudio transversal retrospectivo sobre medicamentos fabricados industrialmente, dispensados y financiados total o parcialmente con fondos públicos por el Servicio de Salud deCastilla-La Mancha, a través de farmacias. El estudio se realizó durante 2003 y 2004 en el área de salud de Albacete y en él se aplicó la metodología recomendada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud para los estudios de utilización de medicamentos. El valor de la dosis diaria definida permitió conocer el número que contenía cada envase y el utilizado por 1.000 usuarios y por día, variable cuantitativa asimilable al concepto de tasa poblacional. Mediante la variable cualitativa, principio activo identificado por su código ATC, se agruparon medicamentos por indicación principal y se relacionaron con la variable cuantitativa.

Resultados:

La mayor prevalencia se observó en la hipertensión (27,3% 24,2-36,7), las alteraciones del metabolismo lipídico (7,4% 5,9-10,7) y la diabetes (6,8% 5,9-9,7); se constató un incremento en todos los casos (del 8,9, el 27,5 y el 9,2%, respectivamente). Ambas situaciones destacan en los distritos dela sierra.

Conclusiones:

Es posible conocer cuál es la situación de las enfermedades crónicas de alta prevalencia, con bases de datos de gestión, mediante estudios de utilización de medicamentos. Su aplicación a ámbitos y periodos diferentes requiere la adopción de criterios metodológicos similares (AU)
ABSTRACT

Objective:

One of the sanitary priorities in Europe is the obtaining of information about the high prevalence and chronic diseases, which is limited by the quality of the available information. The aim of the present study was to describe the behavior of the most prevalent chronic diseases using databases of administrative management.

Method:

We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional study of drugs made industrially, dispensation and financed, whole or partially with public funds, by the Health Service of Castilla-La Mancha, through pharmacies. The study was conducted between the years 2003 and 2004 in the health area of Albacete; in the study the methodology recommended by the World Health Organization WHO for conducting drug utilization studies was applied. The value of the defined daily dose allowed knowing the number contained in each package and the number of them used per thousand users and per day, quantitative assimilable variability to the population rate concept. Through the qualitative variable, active drug substance identified by ATC code, drugs with the same composition and principal indication were grouped, and they were related to the quantitative variable.

Results:

The greater prevalence was seen in hypertension(27.3% 24.2-36.7), lipid metabolism alterations (7.4% 5.9-10.7) and diabetes (6.8% 5.9-9.7); an increase was established in all the cases (of 8.9%, of 27.5% and of 9.2%, respectively). Both situations stand out in the districts of the mountain range.

Conclusions:

It is possible to know the status of chronic diseases and high prevalence, with management databases, by means of studies of medication use. Its application to different areas and periods requires the adoption of similar methodological criteria (AU)
