to describe the epidemiological profile of scorpionism and to investigate factors associated with case severity in the Far South of Bahia, Brazil.
this was a descriptive study using data on scorpion accidents reported on the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System (SINAN) from 2010 to 2017; odds ratios (OR) were calculated to investigate factors associated with severe cases.
3,055 cases were reported, of which 411 (13.5%) were severe and included 10 deaths; highest incidence occurred in 2017 (1.3 per 1,000 inhabitants); cases predominated in rural areas (62.5%), among males (70.1%), those aged 20-49 years (51%), and Black people (84%); 22.7% of those stung received serotherapy; severe cases were more frequent among children under 15 years old (OR=3.26; 95%CI 2.55;4.74), and people stung in rural areas (OR=1.40; 95%CI 1.10;1.78).
scorpionism incidence increased; case severity was associated with younger people and occurrence in rural areas.
描述巴西巴伊亚远南区蝎螫的流行病学特征,并调查与病例严重程度相关的因素。
这是一项描述性研究,使用了 2010 年至 2017 年可报告疾病状况信息系统(SINAN)报告的蝎螫事故数据;计算了比值比(OR)来调查与严重病例相关的因素。
报告了 3055 例病例,其中 411 例(13.5%)为严重病例,包括 10 例死亡;发病率最高的是 2017 年(每 1000 名居民中有 1.3 例);病例主要发生在农村地区(62.5%),男性居多(70.1%),年龄在 20-49 岁(51%),黑人为主体(84%);22.7%的螫伤者接受了血清治疗;15 岁以下儿童(OR=3.26;95%CI 2.55;4.74)和在农村地区被螫伤的人(OR=1.40;95%CI 1.10;1.78)更易发生严重病例。
蝎螫发病率上升;病例严重程度与年轻人和农村地区的发生有关。
