Objective: to analyze the spatial distribution of new cases of tuberculosis compared
to the location of the Primary Healthcare Units that performed the compulsory
notification. Method: ecological study conducted in Bel?m, Par?, with 5,294 new cases
of tuberculosis notified to Sistema de Informa??o de Agravos de Notifica??o for the period
from 2010 to 2014. The cases were georeferenced using the software applications
ArcGis 10.2 and TerraView 4.2.2. The techniques of Kernel density and global Moran
geostatistics were used. Results: the incidence of tuberculosis cases did not vary
significantly between the years studied, however there was a variation in incidence
between neighborhoods. Health units that exhibited higher number of notifications
can suffer great influence of migration from nearby neighborhoods. Conclusion: the
spatial dynamics of tuberculosis associated with health services allows to know the
areas with increased risk of tuberculosis and the density of notifications of health units. |
