The complex epidemiological profile of Brazil, the aging population and the proportion of individuals with disabilities have led to a substantial increase in the demand for rehabilitation. The spatiotemporal distribution of the offer of physiotherapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy in the Brazilian public healthcare system from 2007 to 2019 was analyzed for the five macro-regions of the country. Data from the National Register of Health Establishments and census estimates from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics were used. Indicators of the offer of professionals in these fields services and relative changes in the offer were calculated. The spatial distribution of the relative change in the offer was also determined. A regression model with inflection points was adopted for the analysis of the temporal trend. A growing temporal trend was found in the offer of the three professionals in Brazil as a whole and in all regions of the country, but with a slowdown in growth. Differences were observed in the offer among the regions of the country, revealing healthcare inequality that needs to be overcome. The present findings can assist in planning to expand access to rehabilitation services in the country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Primary health care is an essential component of effective health systems. The aim of this study aim was to evaluate the quality of primary care in a city in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. We conducted an exploratory study with 525 service users using structured questionnaires. The quality of primary care was assessed across five dimensions: accessibility, clinical care, professional-user relations, community activities and structure. The findings point to the perpetuation of social vulnerabilities and challenges in achieving equitable universal care. Dissatisfaction rates were highest in the following categories: access to specialist appointments and exams, appointment wait time, and opportunity to make complaints. However, respondents were satisfied with medical and nursing care, particularly in relation to respect, privacy, listening and confidentiality. The findings show that, although health professionals were committed to providing humanized care, fragmentation of care is evident, hampering the provision of adequate and timely follow-up and negatively affecting the quality of care.

Objetivos: analisar a associação dos fatores socioeconômicos, obstétricos, pediátricos e medidas profiláticas à transmissão vertical do HIV em crianças acompanhadas em um serviço de referência no Recife, entre 2010 e 2015. Métodos: caso-controle aninhado a coorte de crianças expostas à transmissão vertical do HIV. Realizou-se análise estatística uni e multivariada da associação das características socioeconômicas, obstétricas, pediátricas e das medidas profiláticas com o desfecho. Considerou-se duas abordagens multivariadas, convencional e hierarquizada, esta última possibilita considerar diferentes níveis de determinação. Resultados: observou-se 46,5% de mães com baixa escolaridade, 69,6% sem remuneração advinda do trabalho e 35,7% recebendo bolsa família. Mulheres com diagnóstico pósparto e menos de 6 consultas de pré-natal apresentaram maior chance de transmissão vertical. As medidas profiláticas estiveram estatisticamente associadas à prevenção da transmissão (p<0,1%). Conclusões: identificaram-se como fatores de risco para a transmissão vertical do HIV: não possuir rede coletora de esgoto, não ter realizado no mínimo seis consultas de pré-natal, primeiro atendimento da criança com mais de dois meses e não ter realizado as profilaxias na gestação e no parto. Fatores determinantes para os quais existem políticas e programas específicos e o seu não acesso evidencia a determinação social da transmissão vertical do HIV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: to analyze the evolution of childbirth care in Brazil, between 1999-2013. Methods: a time-series ecological study, using data from Ministry of Health, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, and Interagency Network of Information for Health. 18 indicators were analyzed related to childbirth and mortality. Results: there was a reduction in rates of fertility, natality and the total number of births, with increased cesarean surgeries. Growth of prenatal consultation, intensive care beds and reduction of beds in obstetrics sector. The significant growth of caesarean deliveries, prenatal consultation coverage and concentration of births in hospitals occurred simultaneously with the growth: of preventable child deaths by adequate attention, management causes and appropriate delivery, prematurity; low weight; Down's syndrome; and the persistence of maternal deaths due to direct obstetric causes. Conclusions: persists hegemonic technocratic model of childbirth care without considering the observed changes in the profile of mothers and births, with slow reduction of perinatal and neonatal deaths and maintenance of high maternal mortality demonstrating that the critical situation of delivery care model in Brazil has not, yet, been overcome.

Purpose: to evaluate the evolution of the Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences inUnified Health System (SUS), in the years2000, 2005and 2010. Methods: this was a descriptive study, the units of analysis were the geographical regions of Brazil and universe of municipalities aggregated in population size. We analyzed theyears 2000, 2005 and 2010, and usedsecondary datato collectinformation onthe amountand the amount paidbyspeech therapists procedures performed, and the number ofprofessionals in theSUS. Results: there was a large increase in procedures of speech-language therapy in the country, with the largest growthin the North.Among municipalities, the largest increaseoccurred among thosesmallerpopulation. In 2010, 89.8% of municipalities didn't perform any type of procedure care speech-language therapy. Between 2000 and 2010 the coefficient procedures/1000 habrose from19.8 to 60.7. The evolution of speech-language therapy spending in SUS showed that the proportional growth of these procedures was greater than the increase in total outpatient spending. And among the groups, calls for the orthotics and prosthetics showed the highest growth. In the years analyzed, the country showed an increasein the number ofspeech therapists, despite beingshown adeficit ofprofessionalsin 2010. Conclusion: the evolution of speech-language therapy assistance in SUS showed significant growth between 2000and 2010. However, have abad distributionof health careandspeech therapists in the country, highlighting the continued need fordiscussions ofuniversal accessand the quest forequity incarespeech.
