Hipertensão arterial: estudo da base de dados do Centro Hiperdia de Juiz de Fora e avaliação da rede de atenção vinculada a este programa

Abstract

Introduction: The chronic non-communicable diseases are associated to large morbimortality and to elevated financial costs for the public health system. Amongst these diseases, highlights the systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), a disease of high prevalence which is frequently associated to metabolic, renal and, mostly, cardiovascular complications. Facing this reality, the Hiperdia Minas Program was implemented in the state of Minas Gerais, aiming at guaranteeing the access to specialized care for the individuals with systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. This study was divided into two stages, which aimed to describe the sociodemographic and clinical profile of users, and the characterization of teams of health units evaluated. Methodology: This study described and analyzed the database of the HIPERDIA Minas center of Juiz de Fora and also the primary healthcare unities (UAPS) which forwarded users to this Center. 943 users who were forwarded and attended for the control of SAH were included. The health professionals of 14 UAPS in the city of Juiz de Fora, selected by the number of forwarding to the HIPERDIA Center, were interviewed. Results: the individual age average was 58.8±13.1 years old, being 61.3% females. Only 20.7% of the users arrived to the HIPERDIA Center presenting stage 3 HAS. Out of all the evaluated users, 78.6% were overweight. Hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia and elevated LDL cholesterol were present in 45.0, 49.6 and 66.5%, respectively. In addition, 49.9% had estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min, 15.3% of users had coronary artery disease, 76.1% diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle and 34.8% high cardiovascular risk. Blood pressure was elevated in 72.5% of hypertensive on admission in HIPERDIA Minas center of Juiz de Fora. UAPS with incomplete teams were reported by 53.8% of supervisors. User attendance “Reference” and “Counter reference” between basic care and other attendance complexity levels were not performed in 61.5% of the units. In 84.6% of the UAPS, the coordination didn’t analyze the reports emitted by the Hiperdia information system. Conclusions: A high prevalence of dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease and reduced in the glomerular filtration rate were observed. Inadequate forwarding, poor control of arterial hypertension and high prevalence of lesions of targeted organs suggest the fragmentation of the health care system and the inefficiency of dialog between the different levels of the health care network.
