RESUMO

This study aimed to identify and analyze predictive factors of favorable treatment outcome related to pulmonary tuberculosis cases residing in Recife and diagnosed between 2001 and 2004. Initially, an exploratory study was carried out to identify lost data (blank, unknown and inconsistent) in the selected data in the Reportable Health Events Information System (SINAN): year of diagnosis; city of residence; treatment outcome; age; gender; education level; occupation; district of residence; form; type of entry; Supervised Treatment; date of diagnosis, start and end of treatment; health unit district; HIV and other health problems. Blank registers were found for Other Health Problems (42.85%) and Occupation (82.10%); unknown data were found for Education level (39.40%), Other Health Problems (39.73%) and Supervised Treatment (63.96%); and inconsistent data for Occupation (2.53%), Date of diagnosis (0.98%), Treatment start date (9.94%) and Treatment end date (17.66%). Then, we identified and analyzed predictive factors of favorable treatment outcome by means of uni and multivariate logistic regression methods. In univariate analysis, the following variables were associated with favorable treatment outcome: gender; age; education level; type of entry; supervised treatment; Time 1; Time 2 and health unit district. The variables that remained in the final adjusted multivariate model were: Age, 0 to 9 years (OR=4.27; p=0.001) and 10 to 19 years (OR=1.78; p=0.011) had a greater chance of cure than those older than 60 years; Education, 8 to 11 years (OR=1.52; p=0.049) had greater chance of cure than no education; Type of entry, new cases (OR=3.31; p<0.001) and relapse (OR=3.32; p<0.001) had a greater chance of cure than reentry after abandonment; Time 2, 5 ¾| 6 months (OR=9.15; p<0.001); 6 ¾| 9 months (OR=27.28; p<0.001) and More than 9 months (OR=24,78; p<0,001) had greater chance of cure than patients who terminated treatment in less time; Health Unit District, DS I (OR=1.60; p=0.018) and DS IV (OR=2.87; p<0.001) had a greater chance of cure than DS VI. We suggest that health services develop a care organization that is directed at individual needs, prioritizing groups with lower chances of cure, guaranteeing equity and consequent transformations in the city s epidemiological TB indices.
