The aim of this study was to evaluate the completeness of tuberculosis reporting forms in the greater metropolitan areas of five Brazilian capitals where the incidence of tuberculosis was high in 2010 - Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, Cuiabá, Porto Alegre, and Belém - using tabulations obtained from the Sistema Nacional de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (National Case Registry Database). The degree of completeness was highest in Porto Alegre and Cuiabá, whereas it was lowest in Rio de Janeiro, where there are more reported cases of tuberculosis than in any other Brazilian capital. A low degree of completeness of these forms can affect the quality of the Brazilian National Tuberculosis Control Program, which will have negative consequences for health care and decision-making processes.
本研究旨在评估 2010 年巴西五个大都市结核病发病率较高的首府(萨尔瓦多、里约热内卢、库亚巴、阿雷格里港和贝伦)结核病报告表的完整性,使用国家疾病监测系统(国家病例登记数据库)获得的表格进行评估。结果显示,阿雷格里港和库亚巴的报告表完整性最高,而里约热内卢的报告表完整性最低,其结核病报告病例数高于其他任何巴西首府。这些表格的完整性较低会影响巴西国家结核病控制计划的质量,从而对医疗保健和决策过程产生负面影响。
