To investigate trends in terms of number and cost of intravitreal injection, photocoagulation and panphotocoagulation procedures performed by the Brazilian Public Health System, from 2010 to 2019.
The Brazilian Public Health System Database was used as the primary source of data. Intravitreal injection, photocoagulation and panphotocoagulation procedures performed from 2010 to 2019 were investigated. Procedure prevalence and cost trends were analyzed according to year and region. Annual trends were examined using generalized linear models, with a significance level of 5% (p=0.05).
There was a significant increase in the prevalence of intravitreal injections (1,088%), panphotocoagulation (51%) and photocoagulation (37%) procedures from 2010 to 2019. Intravitreal injections accounted for the most significant increase. However, costs were not significantly readjusted over the years.
Over a 10-year period, there was a significant increase in the number of procedures associated with retinal disorders. Procedure costs saw little readjustments over time. In spite of limitations, inaccuracies and lack of details, the Brazilian Public Health System Database is the primary source of data for the Public Health System related research in Brazil, and can contribute with information on ocular health and costs of ophthalmic procedures.
调查 2010 年至 2019 年巴西公共卫生系统实施玻璃体腔内注射、光凝和全视网膜光凝手术的数量和成本趋势。
使用巴西公共卫生系统数据库作为主要数据源。调查了 2010 年至 2019 年期间进行的玻璃体腔内注射、光凝和全视网膜光凝手术。根据年份和地区分析了手术的流行率和成本趋势。使用广义线性模型检查年度趋势，显著性水平为 5%（p=0.05）。
2010 年至 2019 年，玻璃体腔内注射（1088%）、全视网膜光凝（51%）和光凝（37%）手术的流行率显著增加。玻璃体腔内注射的增幅最大。然而，多年来成本并没有进行明显调整。
在 10 年期间，与视网膜疾病相关的手术数量显著增加。随着时间的推移，手术成本几乎没有调整。尽管存在局限性、不准确性和缺乏细节，但巴西公共卫生系统数据库是巴西公共卫生系统相关研究的主要数据来源，可提供有关眼部健康和眼科手术成本的信息。
