Distribuição temporal da taxa das internações por septicemia nas capitais da região Centro-Oeste brasileira

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Infections have existed since the dawn of humanity. Infection has been reported since the first living organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, began interacting with humans. Sepsis is defined as the life-threatening presence of an organic substance with dysfunctions resulting from a dysregulated inflammatory response to infections caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. Brazil has the second highest mortality rate from Sepsis in the world, with approximately 50 to 60%, which is one of the main causes of hospital deaths. OBJECTIVE: to describe the temporal distribution of the rate of hospitalizations for septicemia in the capitals of the Brazilian central-western region from 2014 to 2023. MATERIAL AND METHOD: this is a descriptive epidemiological time series study. We used data from Septicemia notifications from the capitals of the Brazilian Central-West region made available by DataSUS, from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), in the period from 2014 to 2023. The data were extracted from the IT System/DataSUS from of registered notifications by year and place of residence. This data was transferred to Microsoft Office and later to Microsoft Excel and presented in table form. RESULTS: 25,467 cases of hospitalizations due to Septicemia were identified, with the highest record being in the capital Brasília with 60% of hospitalizations. The lowest record was in the capital Campo Grande with 6% of notifications. The age group with the highest number of registrations was 70 to 79 years old with 18%. CONCLUSION: after analyzing the notifications using the tables, it is possible to conclude that the capital of the Central-West region with the highest number of hospitalizations recorded during the research period is the capital Brasília. Therefore, the data collected shows that men aged between 70 and 79 years old and of white race/color are more affected by Sepsis.
