“…Of the 828 patients investigated, 254 died (30.7%) and of these, 194 (76.4%) died during the initial attendance and 44 (17.3%) within the first 48 h of hospitalization. The average number of admittances per patient was 1.5 ± 1.4 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). The number of infectious complications at death was of 2.1 ± 1.1 (0-8) and 231 (90.9%) patients presented up to three opportunistic infections at death.…”

SUMMARYThe AIDS epidemic has become a worldwide phenomenon of enormous magnitude and extension, deeply transforming medical practices and public health initiatives. This retrospective survey aimed to analyze clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with HIV/AIDS admitted to the Institute of Tropical Diseases Natan Portella, Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, from January, 2001 through December, 2004. Of the 828 patients, 43% were from other states and 71.3% were men. Average patient age was 35.4 ± 11.5 years-old and 85.5% were illiterate or had primary education. The main form of exposure to HIV was heterosexual behavior (54.1%), while injectable drug use was confirmed by only 2.7% of registered cases. The most frequent infectious complications were candidiasis (42.4%) and pneumocystosis (22.2%). Sixty-eight cases (8.2%) of visceral leishmaniasis were registered. Using multivariate analysis, individuals aged over 40 years-old, patients with active tuberculosis, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and central nervous system cryptococcosis showed increased risk of death. In this study, young male adults with low educational levels predominated and the most frequent opportunistic infections were candidiasis and pneumocystosis.

In order to identify the various meanings ascribed to health surveillance, the authors conducted a systematic review of articles published from January 1990 to August 2005 in the following databases: LILACS, SciELO, CAPES, MEDLINE, and Web of Science. A total of 144 abstracts were read and 18 full texts of Brazilian articles were selected for in-depth analysis, leading to the design of a typology for technological arrangements related to the various meanings: (i) traditional epidemiological surveillance, with communicable diseases as the main object; (ii) public health surveillance, as the municipal component of the national health surveillance system; and (iii) health surveillance, a technological mode of organizing health practices in a given territory. The proposed typology can contribute to research on surveillance practices in local health systems. It can also serve as a template for data collection and analysis. The meanings ascribed to the three types are discussed in light of public health's historical development as a field.

This study was an investigation of the proposition and development of health surveillance as an instrument or model of health. A literature search was conducted in LILACS and MEDLINE databases using the key words population's surveillance and primary health care. The literature indicated the existence of different propositions and terminologies for health surveillance which are used in epidemiology and territorial surveillance. There was emphasis on the use of health indicators, geoprocessing, and analysis of network of health surveillance agencies. Health surveillance can be used to promote health, social control of information, and to evaluate health policies and its implementation. Keywords: Population surveillance; Public health surveillance; Epidemiologic surveillance; Primary health care RESUMOInvestigou-se a proposição e o desenvolvimento da vigilância à saúde seja como instrumento ou modelo de atenção à saúde, nas bases de dados LILACS e MEDLINE, sob os descritores vigilância da população e cuidados primários de saúde. Identificaram-se diferentes propostas e terminologias para a vigilância à saúde que se assemelham pelo uso da epidemiologia e da noção de território. Destaca-se o uso de instrumentos como indicadores de necessidades de saúde, geoprocessamento e análise de redes de vigilância em saúde. Conclui-se que a vigilância à saúde se constitui num potencial campo para promover a saúde, o controle social da informação e avaliação das políticas e ações de saúde. Descritores: Vigilância da população; Vigilância em saúde pública; Vigilância epidemiológica; Atenção primária à saúde RESUMENSe investigó la proposición y el desarrollo de la vigilancia a la salud sea como instrumento o como modelo de atención a la salud, en las bases de datos LILACS y MEDLINE, bajo los descriptores vigilancia de la población y cuidados primarios de salud. Se identificaron diferentes propuestas y terminologías para la vigilancia a la salud que se asemejan por el uso de la epidemiología y de la noción de territorio. Se destaca el uso de instrumentos como indicadores de necesidades de salud, geo-procesamiento y análisis de redes de vigilancia en salud. Se concluye que la vigilancia a la salud se constituye en un campo potencial para promover la salud, el control social de la información y evaluación de las políticas y acciones de salud.
