| Resumo: | Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that affects the general population and it
has been increasing in recent years in many countries. A study was developed in
order to analyze the rates of detection of syphilis and to know the predictive factors of
its highest time series, proposing a technological model for its reduction. These are
ecological studies that used secondary data from the national notification systems
from 5.570 Brazilian municipalities and a database from 37.350 primary health care
teams. A test of a technological proposition was also released. The rates of acquired
syphilis and its sociodemographic stratifications were calculated at the municipal
level and the trends were calculated using log-linear regression, crossing them with
primary health care variables and sociodemographic indicators, building a multiple
model from logistic regression. There are significant growth trends in the rates of
acquired syphilis, in pregnant women and congenital in Brazil. The tendencies of
acquired syphilis are more accentuated, simply because pregnant women are
removed from the sample and they are significantly different for the males, in the age
group of 20 to 29 years old, in elementary schooling, black race and in the
municipalities from 20.001 to 50.000 inhabitants. The predictors of upwardly acquired
syphilis trends are related to the following variables: not all primary health care teams
apply penicillin; higher proportion of primary health care teams assessed as
bad/regular; population size > 100.000 inhabitants; female condom partially available.
Thus, it is concluded that there are significant trends of syphilis in Brazil, and the
weaknesses of primary health care linked to population size contribute for favoring
the increase of the acquired syphilis epidemic in Brazilian municipalities. Strategies
aimed at the development of health promotion practices, reinforcing the joint action of
primary health care in schools, especially in the younger population, with low
education, with greater social vulnerability, is a viable alternative to reduce the
epidemic. In addition, the development of a National Serological Registry and the
national serological testing campaign could assist in this reduction. |
