Abstract: As doenças respiratórias, particularmente as pneumonias e gripes, são importante causa de internação e óbito entre os idosos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o comportamento da morbidade hospitalar por doenças respiratórias na população idosa do Estado de São Paulo, no período de 1995 a 2002, examinando-se a tendência das internações após a intervenção vacinal contra a influenza. Foram utilizadas as bases de dados de Autorizações de Internação Hospitalar do Ministério da Saúde. Os indicadores de morbidade,… Show more

“…One study failed to demonstrate the effect of the vaccination in hospital admissions and mortality due to influenza-related causes, 14 another found a 26% reduction in mortality rates due to influenza and pneumonia, 2 and three studies point to an increase in influenza-related mortality rates 3,8,12 . Of the six studies analyzing hospital admissions, five found modest reductions in rates or number of hospitalizations, 6,11,15,19,31 and the previously cited one showed no effect of the vaccination 14 . A large part of this apparent conflict might be explained by the differences in the time frames that were compared, in the geographic regions studied, in the presence or absence of rate standardization, and also in the outcome variables defined.…”

“…The elderly are vulnerable to a range of diseases, with the natural aging process gradually reducing bodily functions and physiological resistance in the individual. With respect to asthma, reduced lung function compromises the immune system and becomes a risk factor 4 facilitating the onset of other respiratory infections or exacerbating the disease 5 . Cases of asthma and other lower respiratory tract diseases are directly related to a greater likelihood of hospitalization and debilitation in the elderly 4,6,7 .…”

“…No Estado de São Paulo, cerca de 27.700 internações por ano na mesma faixa etária, no período de 1998 a 2003, foram associadas a influenza e pneumonia, de acordo com dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIH/SUS). 1,5,6 A influenza e suas complicações tornam-se ainda mais evidentes nos idosos residentes em instituições de longa permanência. Em populações institucionalizadas, a aglomeração e as condições de higiene e cuidados -muitas vezes precários -permitem que patógenos, trazidos por trabalhadores e visitantes que freqüentam a comunidade, circulem com maior rapidez.…”
