Modelagem da Covid-19 no Brasil e a interação entre academia e gestores durante a pandemia
A modelagem desempenhou papel significativo no apoio a políticas públicas durante a pandemia de COVID-19, e a tomada de decisão enfrentou um contexto de evidências limitadas. Este é um estudo transversal que incluiu e caracterizou instituições e grupos de pesquisadores que trabalharam com modelagem de COVID-19 e apoiaram a tomada de decisão. Utilizamos duas estratégias para identificação: 1) revisão de escopo e 2) amostragem de grupos através de …
Dynamic transmission modeling of Covid-19 to support decision-making in Brazil: A scoping review in the pre-vaccine era
Brazil was one of the countries most affected during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, in a pre-vaccine era, and mathematical and statistical models were used in decision-making and public policies to mitigate and suppress SARS-CoV-2 dispersion. In this article, we intend to overview the modeling for COVID-19 in Brazil, focusing on the first 18 months of the pandemic. We conducted a scoping review and searched for studies on infectious dis…
Validation of the WHOQOL-Bref instrument in Brazilian sign language (Libras)
Contextual and individual factors associated with dissatisfaction with the Brazilian Unified National Health System, 2011-2012
User satisfaction is known to be related to quality of healthcare. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of contextual and individual factors associated with user dissatisfaction with the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS). This was a cross-sectional multilevel study. Data were collected via telephone by the ombudsman's office of the SUS. Telephone numbers were randomly selected from a telephone company database. Health …
Dietary patterns and hypertension: A population-based study with women from Southern Brazil
This study investigated the association between dietary pattern and hypertension using the rank reduced regression (RRR). It was a cross-sectional population-based study with a representative sample of 1,026 women living in the city of São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. In order to identify dietary patterns, dietary variables from a dietary frequency questionnaire were used as predictors and sodium, potassium and saturated fat consump…
Bias of using odds ratio estimates in multinomial logistic regressions to estimate relative risk or prevalence ratio and alternatives
Recent studies have emphasized that there is no justification for using the odds ratio (OR) as an approximation of the relative risk (RR) or prevalence ratio (PR). Erroneous interpretations of the OR as RR or PR must be avoided, as several studies have shown that the OR is not a good approximation for these measures when the outcome is common (> 10%). For multinomial outcomes it is usual to use the multinomial logistic regression. In this context…
Health-related quality of life in Brazil: Normative data for the SF-36 in a general population sample in the south of the country
The objective of this study was to provide normative SF-36 scores in a general population sample in Brazil and to describe differences in mean scores according to socio-demographic characteristics. The SF-36 questionnaire was distributed to a randomly selected sample of the general population of Porto Alegre in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The response rate was 68% and 755 subjects were included (38% male, 62% female). Lower health status was …
Fibre intake and evolution of BMI: From pre-pregnancy to postpartum
Objective To evaluate the effect of fibre intake on the evolution of maternal BMI from pregnancy to postpartum and to identify dietary patterns associated with fibre intake. Design Cohort study. Food intake was obtained using an FFQ. Focused principal component analysis was used focusing on the variables: postpartum weight retention and total dietary fibre intake. Poisson regression models with robust variance were built in order to measure the e…
Dietary patterns during pregnancy and the association with sociodemographic characteristics among women attending general practices in southern Brazil: The Eccage Study
The assessment of the relationship between food intake and sociodemographic factors is crucial for developing effective public health policies. The present study aimed to examine dietary patterns in pregnant women and the association between these patterns and sociodemographic characteristics. Pregnant women attending general practices in southern Brazil (n = 712) answered a questionnaire and a food-frequency questionnaire with 88 items. Three di…
Transtornos mentais em uma amostra de gestantes da rede de atenção básica de saúde no Sul do Brasil
Para determinar a prevalência de prováveis transtornos psiquiátricos durante a gravidez e os fatores sociodemográficos associados, utilizou-se o instrumento PRIME-MD, em 712 gestantes (16o a 36o semanas), de 18 unidades básicas de saúde no sul do Brasil. A prevalência de um provável transtorno mental foi de 41,7%. O transtorno depressivo maior (21,6%) foi o mais prevalente, seguido pelo Transtorno de Ansiedade Generalizada (19,8%). Os fatores que…
Quality of life in Brazil: Normative values for the Whoqol-bref in a southern general population sample
P1-420 Fibre intake and evolution of body mass index: From prepregnancy to postpartum
Background Postpartum weight retention is important risk factor for obesity in reproductive age women. The role of fibre intake still needs clarification, being among those dietetic factors that may be associated with a positive evolution of postpartum weight variation. Objectives To evaluate the effect of fibre intake on the evolution of maternal body mass index (BMI) from pregnancy to postpartum, and to identify dietary patterns associated with…
Focused Principal Component Analysis: A Graphical Method for Exploring Dietary Patterns
The aim of the present study was to introduce Focused Principal Component Analysis (FPCA) as a novel exploratory method for providing insight into dietary patterns that emerge based on a given characteristic of the sample. To demonstrate the use of FPCA, we used a database of 1,968 adults. Food intake was obtained using a food frequency questionnaire covering 26 food items. The focus variables used for analysis were age, income, and schooling. Al…
Socioeconomic, demographic and nutritional factors associated with maternal weight gain in general practices in Southern Brazil
In order to describe adequacy of weight gain during pregnancy and its association with pre-pregnancy nutritional status and other factors, a cohort study of pregnant women enrolled at 16-36 weeks of gestation and followed up until delivery was carried out in prenatal care in primary care services in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Maternal weight was recorded at each prenatal care visit. Weight gain was classified as "adequate," "insufficient" o…
Dietary fibre intake of pregnant women attending general practices in southern Brazil – The Eccage Study
Background Increase in fibre intake during pregnancy may reduce weight gain, glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia, pre-eclampsia and constipation. Few studies have evaluated adequacy of fibre intake during pregnancy. Objective To assess, through an FFQ, the dietary fibre intake of pregnant women receiving prenatal care from general public practices and compare it with current guidelines. Design and setting Cross-sectional analyses of a pregnancy co…
Clustering of risk factors for cardiovascular disease among women in Southern Brazil: A Population-Based Study
The association between clustering of risk factors and self-reported cardiovascular disease among women was investigated in a cross-sectional study using a multistage population-based sample. Participants were interviewed at home about diabetes mellitus, physical activity, and diet pattern. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure > 140/90mmHg or use of anti-hypertensive medication. Cardiovascular disease included self-reported myocardial infar…
Associação entre sintomas depressivos e funcionamento social em cuidados primários à saúde
OBJETIVO: Os transtornos depressivos constituem um problema de saúde pública devido a sua alta prevalência e impacto psicossocial. Pacientes deprimidos são freqüentadores assíduos de serviços de atendimento primário, porém, muitas vezes, não são diagnosticados como tais. O objetivo do estudo é avaliar a associação entre sintomas depressivos e funcionamento social numa amostra de pacientes que procuraram um serviço de cuidados primários em uma cap…
