Objective: to estimate the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis and associated factors. Methods: a retrospective study that evaluated 74,006 cases of tuberculosis registered in the Notifiable Diseases Information System. In the multivariate analysis, the outcome variable “drug resistance” was used to estimate the prevalence ratio of factors associated with drug resistance. Results: a rate of 0.5% of drug r...

Objective: To analyze the spatial pattern of AIDS mortality and social factors associated with its occurrence. Methods: An ecological study that considered 955 AIDS deaths of residents in Piauí, reported in the Mortality Information System (MIS) from 2007 to 2015. Non-spatial and spatial regression models were used to identify social determinants of AIDS mortality, with a significance of 5%. Results: The predic...
Objective: to analyze the spatial-temporal distribution of AIDS mortality. Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive study, which evaluated 959 aids deaths reported through the Mortality Information System. The temporal trend was analyzed using the Joinpoint Regression Program, version 4.6.0.0, and the Scan scanning was used to evaluate the formation of purely spatial clusters of deaths, considering a signifi...
