Avaliação da rede de diagnóstico laboratorial na implantação do programa de prevenção e controle das hepatites virais no estado de São Paulo, 1997-2012 / Assessment of laboratory diagnostic network in the implementation of the Program for Viral Hepatitis Prevention and Control in Sao Paulo State, Brazil, 1997-2012
estudo avaliativo baseado em pesquisa documental e entrevista estruturada, associadas a uma análise de séries históricas de indicadores desenvolvidos para avaliar o processo de implantação do PEHV, utilizando dados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (Datasus).
apesar da efetiva implantação da rede diagnóstica no PEHV, verifica-se a necessidade de revisão da estratégia de busca de novos portadores e acesso à biópsia de fígado, ainda insuficiente para a demanda do programa.
OBJECTIVE:
to assess the performance of the diagnostic network in the implementation process of the Program for Viral Hepatitis Prevention and Control in São Paulo State, Brazil, from 1997 to 2012.
METHODS:
evaluation study based on documentary research and structured interviews, combined with a historical series analysis of indicators developed to assess the implementation process of the program, using data from the Department of the Brazilian National Health System.
RESULTS:
from 1997 to 2012, the serology, biopsy and molecular biology diagnostic networks showed an increase in the coefficients of coverage of 7.4, 7.3, and 62.0 times, respectively, with an increase in cases detection and treatment access.
CONCLUSION:
despite the effective implementation of the diagnostic network, there is a need to review the search strategy for new cases, and access to liverbiopsy, still insufficient to the program demand.
