“…We applied a space–time retrospective and prospective scans to identify the existence of clusters of deaths from diarrhea and gastroenteritis in the municipalities of Alagoas during the study period. For that, we used the Poisson probability distribution model [ 15 , 23 ] while considering the following parameters: aggregation time of 1 year, minimum of 5 deaths, no overlapping clusters, circular clusters, maximal spatial cluster size of 50% of the population at risk, and maximal temporal cluster size of 50% of the study period [ 25 ].…”

“…Considering this, we analyze high-risk areas of diarrhea- and gastroenteritis-related deaths, and their correlation with SDH in the state of Alagoas, between 2000 and 2019, using space–time risk modeling. This approach allows for monitoring the impact of diarrheal diseases in space and time [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. As a result, this could significantly contribute to health systems in planning disease control strategies, and reduce the mortality rate from diarrhea and gastroenteritis, mainly among children.…”

Acute diarrhea is the second leading cause of death among children in developing countries and is strongly related with the socioeconomic conditions of the population. In Brazil, data show a drop in the diarrhea mortality rate. Nevertheless, the northeastern region still has the most deaths. Considering this, we analyze high-risk areas for diarrhea- and gastroenteritis-related deaths, and their association with social determinants of health (SDH) in the state with one of the worst human development indicators in Brazil (Alagoas) between 2000 and 2019. We applied temporal, spatial, and space–time risk modelling. We used a log-linear regression model to assess temporal trends and the local empirical Bayesian estimator, the global and local Moran indices for spatial analysis. Spearman’s correlation was used to correlate mortality rates with SDH. A total of 3472 diarrhea-related deaths were reported during this period in Alagoas. We observed a decreasing time trend of deaths in the state (9.41/100,000 in 2000 to 2.21 in 2019; APC = −6.7; p-value < 0.001), especially in children under one year of age. However, there was stability among adults and the elderly. We identified two high-risk spatiotemporal clusters of mortality in inland municipalities. Lastly, mortality rates correlated significantly with 90% of SDH. Taken together, these findings indicate that diarrhea diseases remain a serious public health concern in Alagoas, mainly in the poorest and inland municipalities. Thereby, it is urgently necessary to invest in measures to control and prevent cases, and improve the living conditions of the poorest populations and those with the highest social vulnerability index.

Objetivo: Observar através de indicadores o panorama dos casos de HIV/AIDS notificados no estado do Piauí entre 2000 a 2021 e a sua relação com a dinâmica demográfica. Método: Estudo ecológico, de série temporal e abordagem quantitativa que se utilizou de casos notificados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). Foram utilizadas as variáveis sociodemográficas e informações relativas aos casos de HIV/AIDS. Foi utilizado o Microsoft Office 2010® e Tabwin® versão 4.1.5 para tabulação e análise dos dados. Resultados: Entre 2000 e 2021, 5.173 casos de HIV/AIDS foram notificados no Piauí, com prevalência do sexo masculino (68,69%), faixa etária de 35 a 64 anos (50,09%), cor parda (69,30%), heterossexuais (57,07%) e com escolaridade ignorada (23,96%). Conclusão: Sugere-se o reforço e aprimoramento de programas de políticas públicas de prevenção do HIV/AIDS, e a inclusão de aspectos relacionados ao tratamento, à terapia antirretroviral e o uso de preservativos para a população.

In this work, an analysis was made of the incidence of AIDS and its relationship with the socioeconomic conditions of seropositive patients in the State of Maranhão, aiming to outline strategies for the treatment and prevention of the pathology, also contributing to the understanding of its epidemiology. The study is an integrative literature review, carried out from the search for scientific publications indexed in the database: SciELO, MEDLINE/PubMed, Lilacs and Government Portals. The following descriptors were used: HIV, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome and Socioeconomic Factors. At the end of the searches, 20 publications met the eligibility criteria and were selected to compose the study.As a result of the information taken from the selected studies, it was noticed that HIV transmission in the State of Maranhão is also related to the socioeconomic, educational, cultural and environmental conditions of individuals, exerting a direct influence on the health and well-being of these people.The study shows that there is a link between the population living with AIDS and their living conditions. From this perspective, it is possible to identify the places in the region that have a higher prevalence of individuals with the aforementioned characteristics.
