Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) presents a high burden of disease and is considered a global emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO), consisting on the most important cause of death from infectious disease in adults. It is related directly to access to health services and socioeconomic factors. The Primary Care Reform in the city of Rio de Janeiro started at 2010, increasing the family health coverage from 7% to 48.2% in 2014. The goal of this article is to compare the cure of tuberculosis among the areas covered and not covered by the family health teams in 2012. The socioeconomic variables were obtained from the national surveillance system (SINAN) and the There was association to the cure of TB and female patients OR 1,40 (CI95% 1,21-1,62) and people living in slums areas OR 0,86 (CI95% 0,73-1,02). There was no association between the cure of tuberculosis and the family health coverage OR 1,06 (IC95% 0,92-1,22) nor with the time between diagnosis and the begining of health teams works. The fact of family health services had been started on the most vulnerable areas of the city, as well as the short time between the beginning of family health teams and the date of diagnosis may have contributed not to detect benefits in TB cure in 2012 in areas covered by family health teams.
