the objective was to analyze trends in the dental surgeon workforce in Brazil between 2007 and 2014.
this is a time series study using data from the Brazilian National Register of Health Establishments and the Brazilian National Institute of Geography and Statistics. Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression was used to estimate time trends and to calculate the annual percent change in the dental surgeon workforce over the period.
the number of dental surgeons working as general practitioners and as specialists grew on average by 12.7% and 17.3% per annum, respectively; dental surgeon workforce expansion in relation to general practitioners (0.5%) and specialists (11.6%) was lower in the public sector, compared to the private sector (24.5% and 30.3%, respectively).
the number of dental surgeons in Brazil is high, although they are not equally distributed between both sectors. This may imply barriers to dental care access in Brazil.
分析2007年至2014年巴西牙科医生劳动力的趋势。
这是一项时间序列研究,使用了巴西国家卫生机构登记册和巴西国家地理与统计局的数据。采用普赖斯-温斯坦广义线性回归来估计时间趋势,并计算该时期牙科医生劳动力的年变化百分比。
担任全科医生和专科医生的牙科医生数量平均每年分别增长12.7%和17.3%;与私营部门(分别为24.5%和30.3%)相比,公共部门牙科医生劳动力相对于全科医生(0.5%)和专科医生(11.6%)的增长较低。
巴西牙科医生数量众多,但在两个部门之间分布不均。这可能意味着巴西在获得牙科护理方面存在障碍。
