Completitude dos dados do cadastro de portadores de hipertensão arterial e diabetes mellitus registrados no sistema hiperdia em um estado do nordeste, Brasil

Abstract

Considering the importance of the information generated by Sishiperdia and the scarcity of studies on completeness of data, especially in Alagoas, this thesis was developed, in which the subject is studied in a theoretical perspective and in a field survey, which generated two papers. Seeking to deepen knowledge about this dimension of quality is evaluated by SIS in the country, the first article, entitled "Methods for assessing the completeness of data in health information systems in Brazil: a systematic review" describes articles, dissertations and thesis that evaluated filling variables of SIS, from the perspective of completeness. It was found that the number of study is still small, frequent between the epidemiological surveillance systems and performed in the Southeast and South areas of the country. There are different technical indicators and scores to measure the (in)completeness, which makes it harder to compare studies. Assuming that the absence of null responses in the documents for data collection enables safer use of information, the second article, titled "Completeness of data register of patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus recorded in the System Hiperdia in a Northeastern state, Brazil”, evaluates the completeness of a set of variables referring to blocks of data registration and attendance. Identifies that most of the variables shows completeness between excellent and good. However, it is not homogeneous between blocks of variables, macro-regions and type of health fields. The high percentage of incompleteness and inconsistency detected in variable block service point to deficiencies in the structure and process work of family health teams, regarding assistance to individuals with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. While the evaluating part of the production cycle information, conducting studies on completeness should be encouraged as a strategies for improving the information quality.
