“…The women developed AMI earlier, considering the age limits of 55 years for men and 65 years for women, taken as the cutoff points for premature myocardial infarction in relation to gender (13) . The sample presented homogeneous sociodemographic characteristics, as it was composed of Brazilian Nation Health Service (SUS) users, primarily originating from the city of Salvador and its metropolitan area, who declared themselves mostly of black race/color and lived in conditions of social inequality evidenced by low education and family income.…”

OBJECTIVE: this study aimed to analyze the interaction of gender in the association between decision time for seeking healthcare services and the sociodemographic and clinical variables. METHOD: this exploratory, cross-sectional study was performed with 100 individuals interviewed in hospitals in Salvador, Bahia. The chi-square test or Fisher's exact test and the robust linear regression model were used in the analysis. A statistical significance of 5% was adopted. RESULTS: men and women presented long decision times. The decision time was less for smokers and those with constant and/or severe pain. There was an interaction between gender and smoking and between gender and pain radiating to the neck or jaw for the decision time outcome. CONCLUSION: decision times were long and were influenced by clinical and gender variables. The study provides support for nursing care practices focused on the specificity of these factors and of the genders aiming to reduce the decision time.

“…É possível que mulheres mais jovens com sintomas sugestivos de doenças cardiológicas sejam apreciadas de forma imprecisa pelas equipes de saúde, ou tais pacientes busquem assistência médica tardiamente. 17 Acredita-se que, no caso específico do hospital estudado, a longa permanência possa ser parcialmente explicada pela necessidade de realização de exames complementares e especializados, ainda durante a internação. Adicionalmente, há situações em que a internação é antecipada ou se prolonga para garantir sua hospitalização.…”

O objetivo do estudo foi estimar o efeito do tempo e das características individuais na ocorrência de evento adverso a medicamentos em pacientes com afecções cardiológicas. Trata-se de um estudo avaliativo sobre a ocorrência de evento adverso a medicamentos realizado em um hospital público e cardiológico, localizado no Município do Rio de Janeiro. Para análise da sobrevida utilizou-se o método de Kaplan-Meier. A probabilidade de sobreviver livre de evento adverso a medicamentos até 30, 60 e 100 dias foi respectivamente de 96%, 93% e 73%. Os eventos adversos a medicamentos representam condições marcadoras que descrevem o desempenho dos serviços de saúde. A detecção de eventos adversos nas instituições hospitalares possibilita conhecer as falhas que ocorrem no sistema de medicação e ainda implementar estratégias para reduzi-las. Abstract ResumenThe objective of the study was to estimate the time effect and the individual characteristics in the occurrence of an adverse event to drugs in patients with cardiac diseases. It is an evaluative study about the occurrence of an adverse event to drugs that took place at a public and cardiologic hospital, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro. For the analysis of the survival, the method Kaplan-Meier was used. The probability of surviving free from an adverse event to drugs up to 30, 60 and 100 days was respectively of 96%, 93% and 73%. The adverse events to drugs represent marking conditions that describe the performance of the health services. The detection of adverse events in hospitals makes it possible to know the failures that occur in the medication system and also to implement strategies to reduce them.
