“…Resultado semelhante foi obtido em estudo que avaliou as declarações de óbito do SIM com menção de HIV/AIDS, em qualquer campo de preenchimento da DO: entre 2000 e 2007, houve aumento de 2,5 para 7% do percentual de óbitos com causa básica não relacionada ao HIV/AIDS. 18 Neste estudo, o percentual revelou-se superior entre os indivíduos com 50 anos ou mais (5%), o que indica que a perda é maior com o avançar da idade e reforça a utilidade das causas múltiplas de óbito para análise da mortalidade por HIV/AIDS. Entre as causas básicas mais comuns, destacam-se, por sua frequência mais elevada, as doenças do aparelho circulatório e as neoplasias não resultantes de AIDS, reforçando que a AIDS já se manifesta como uma doença crônica, com outras causas conduzindo à morte.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Propor dois indicadores para avaliar o ganho de informação por meio da análise de causas múltiplas, utilizando dados das capitais das Regiões Sul e Sudeste, por sexo, grupos etários e capital de residência. Métodos: Foram utilizados dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade. Selecionaram-se óbitos de indivíduos com 13 anos ou mais com menção ao HIV/AIDS em qualquer campo da declaração de óbito e que residisse nas capitais das Regiões Sul e Sudeste. Os indicadores propostos foram: (i) a diferença entre o número de vezes que uma causa foi mencionada como causa múltipla (CM) e o número de vezes que foi mencionada como causa básica (CB), ou seja, CM-CB, indicando quantas causas adicionais seriam obtidas se todas as menções fossem contadas; e (ii) a razão (CB/CM) que, quanto mais próxima de 1, mais frequentemente a doença é classificada como causa básica. Foram calculados indicadores para sexo, faixa etária e capital segundo CB e CM. Resultados: Quando avaliados apenas os óbitos que apresentam HIV/AIDS como CB, tem-se um total de 2.456 óbitos. Entretanto, ao considerar os óbitos com menção de HIV/AIDS em qualquer campo da declaração de óbito, a análise por CM indica um total de 2.508 óbitos. Obtiveram maior ganho em informações com a análise por CM os seguintes grupos: homens; pacientes com 50 anos ou mais; residentes do Rio de Janeiro. Conclusão: A análise por CM, ao considerar outras condições mencionadas nas declarações de óbitos, pode auxiliar a compreensão do processo de adoecimento da população, contribuindo, portanto, para vigilância de pessoas com HIV/AIDS. Palavras-chave: HIV; síndrome de imunodeficiência adquirida; causas de morte; atestado de óbito; vigilância epidemiológica; morte. ABSTRACT Objective:To propose two indicators to assess gain in information through the multiple causes of death approach, using data from the capital of the South and Southeast regions, by sex, age groups and capital of residence. Methods: Data were gathered from the National Mortality Information System. Death certificates of individuals aged 13 or more were selected mentioning HIV/AIDS in any field of the death certificate, whose residence capital was one of the capitals of the South or Southeast. Indicators proposed were: (i) the difference between the number of times a cause was mentioned as a multiple cause (CM) and the number of times it was mentioned as the underlying cause (CB), i.e., (CM-CB), indicating how many additional causes would be obtained if the cause was counted in a model of multiple causes; (ii) the ratio (CB/CM): the closer to 1, the more often the disease is classified as an underlying cause. Indicators were calculated for deaths by sex, age and capital according to CM and CB. Results: When analyzed the deaths that have HIV/AIDS as an CB, 2,456 was obtained. However, when considering deaths with mention of HIV/AIDS in any field of the death certificate, the analysis of CM shows a total of 2,508 deaths. The major information gain with the analysis of CM occurred for men, patients ag...

“…People living with HIV/AIDS were now dying of hepatitis C infection. 67 Harm reduction has been proven to be effective in controlling the spread of viral hepatitis among PWIDs. A harm reduction strategy was adopted publicly for first time in Brazil in 1989 in the city of Santos (located in Sao Paulo state).…”

Hepatitis C is considered one of the most neglected diseases in world. Worldwide about 150 million people are chronically infected by hepatitis C virus (HCV), and 60% to 70% of them will develop severe liver disease. This article describes Brazil's response to hepatitis C, from the first steps in 1993 to a national program in 2002. We reviewed the available literature, most of it in Brazilian Portuguese, and compiled them in order to share this experience with those seeking some pragmatic solutions. After 12 years, the national program has achieved universal coverage of treatment, resulting in saved lives and resources for the health system. There is abundant evidence that the HCV epidemic deserves attention. The overall consequence of long-term HCV infection is a negative impact on the health care economy. The Brazilian experience can be adapted to many countries in the world, in compliance with the 2010 World Health Organization World Health Assembly Resolution.
