To describe health care indicators in adults with self-reported hypertension in Brazil, according to socio-demographic characteristics.
Data from the National Health Survey 2013, a cross-sectional population-based study, about health care of self-reported hypertension and health services were used. Prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated for sex, age, race/color skin and schooling levels, representing Brazil and major regions.
Hypertension was reported by 21.4% (95%CI 20.8 - 22.0) of respondents, being higher in women and in people without instruction and incomplete middle school. Among these, 45.9% (95%CI 44.0 - 47.7) reported having received medical care for the last time in a basic health unit; 81.4% (95%CI 80.1 - 82.7) reported taking medication for high blood pressure; and 92.0% (95%CI 91.2 - 92.8) reported having taken all requested complementary examinations.
It is important to know the coverage and access to health services for the care of patients with hypertension, in order to improve care quality and reduce identified inequalities.
根据社会人口学特征描述巴西自我报告患有高血压的成年人的医疗保健指标。
使用了2013年全国健康调查的数据，这是一项基于人群的横断面研究，涉及自我报告的高血压的医疗保健和健康服务。计算了代表巴西及主要地区的性别、年龄、种族/肤色和受教育程度的患病率及95%置信区间（95%CI）。
21.4%（95%CI 20.8 - 22.0）的受访者报告患有高血压，女性以及未接受过教育和初中未毕业的人群中患病率更高。在这些人中，45.9%（95%CI 44.0 - 47.7）报告最近一次在基本卫生单位接受医疗护理；81.4%（95%CI 80.1 - 82.7）报告正在服用高血压药物；92.0%（95%CI 91.2 - 92.8）报告已进行了所有要求的补充检查。
了解高血压患者医疗服务的覆盖范围和可及性很重要，以便提高护理质量并减少已发现的不平等现象。
