Objective to describe the completeness of tuberculosis (TB) case records in Santa Catarina, Brazil, from 2007 to 2016. Methods this was a descriptive study using Notifiable Health Conditions Information System data; completeness, consistency of notification form records and timely notification were analyzed in order to assess data quality. Results completeness of notification form mandatory fields was considered good; essential fields were less complete, in particular the 'Schooling' field; low completeness of follow-up sputum smear microscopy and failure to update culture tests and HIV serology tests demonstrate weaknesses in follow-up records. Conclusion the tuberculosis surveillance system data were considered adequate for guiding tuberculosis prevention and control actions; record monitoring and periodical evaluation, as well as adoption of strategies to improve follow-up report completeness are recommended.
描述 2007 年至 2016 年巴西圣卡塔琳娜州结核病（TB）病例记录的完整性。
这是一项使用法定传染病报告信息系统数据的描述性研究；为评估数据质量，对完整性、通知表格记录的一致性和及时通知进行了分析。
通知表格必填字段的完整性被认为是良好的；基本字段的完整性较低，特别是“学校”字段；随访痰涂片显微镜检查的完整性较低，以及未能更新培养试验和 HIV 血清学试验，这表明随访记录存在薄弱环节。
结核病监测系统的数据被认为足以指导结核病的预防和控制行动；建议对记录进行监测和定期评估，并采取策略来提高随访报告的完整性。
