Factors related to the place of first choice for the diagnosis of tuberculosis

Abstract: The objective of this study was to identify factors related to the place of fi rst choice for the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis.

“…16 In theory, they all serve as a gateway to both the diagnosis of the disease and to alleviate more serious symptoms, as well as direct access to medical consultation and/or other services. 17 However, it is necessary to improve primary health care, as organizer of care and guarantee of access to avoid the delay of diagnosis and treatment that have repercussions in the control of the disease.…”

“…8 The choice of these services was also motivated by the link, the ease of access, the orientation of family members and the search for problem solving, also found in another study. 17 Comprising the logic of comprehensive care, PHC must be able to diagnose and resolve most of the cases. A study of respiratory symptomatic flows and results achieved in the PHC unit in two municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul, in general, detected fragmentation with low case detection and response to diagnosis in 8.8% and 50.0% in this level of attention between the Municipalities of Pelotas and Sapucaia do Sul, respectively.…”

“…Os pacientes que buscam esse serviço de saúde, o fazem pela lógica da resolutividade e agilidade com os casos, assim como, por terem uma condição socioeconômica mais favorável em relação aqueles que são diagnosticados nos ambulatórios de referência e nas unidades básicas de saúde. (17) Observa-se com o estudo que os níveis de saúde com maior complexidade são capazes de identificar precocemente os casos, ao passo que aqueles pacientes que buscam a APS como primeira escolha para atendimento, o diagnóstico nem sempre ocorre neste local, estando também associado ao pronto-atendimento. Estudos evidenciam a relação entre o diagnóstico precoce e os serviços de saúde de primeiro contato, sendo as unidades de urgência e emergência as que os SR buscam com maior frequência quando do início do quadro clínico da tuberculose.…”

“…Estudos evidenciam a relação entre o diagnóstico precoce e os serviços de saúde de primeiro contato, sendo as unidades de urgência e emergência as que os SR buscam com maior frequência quando do início do quadro clínico da tuberculose. (6,13,17) Pela lógica da organização das redes de atenção à saúde, é característica da APS a porta de entrada do SR, constituindo-se eixo estruturante e ordenador do percurso da linha de cuidado. (8) No entanto, essa premissa não foi notória no presente estudo, no qual o SR busca, primeiramente, os níveis de maior complexidade tecnológica, configurando como alcance resolutivo para suas necessidades de saúde, como o caso das Unidades de Pronto Atendimento (UPA), que apresentam fluxo por demanda espontânea em 24 horas, dispondo de recursos de média complexidade tecnológica, que atendem às condições agudizadas de seus clientes.…”

“…Because it is an infectious-contagious disease, early diagnosis is essential for control in the event of a breakdown of the transmission chain, in this area, PHC (Primary Health Care) is one of the levels of attention. It is identified in the literature that difficulties in diagnosis are linked to the delay of the search for treatment, where the health professional is inserted with the offer of active search and information dissemination as strategies to facilitate diagnosis (Dantas et al, 2014).…”
