Abstract:

Electronic recordsprimary health care in Rio de Janeiro were analyzed for two chronic diseases: hypertension and diabetes, in a population-based study with a cross-sectional epidemiological design that considered Rio de Janeiro population enrolled in Family Health Teams. Calculation of prevalence rate was stratified by sex and age group, and the condition of the disease was measured by family doctors in their consultations, using the ICD-10. Except for the last two age groups (75 to 79 years and 80 years and over), there seems to be under-registration of the diagnosed cases, there was a positive association between prevalence rates and age in both sexes. The generation of objective and reliable statistical information is fundamental for local level management, allowing the demographic dynamics and the peculiarities of each territory to be evaluated, and assisting in the planning and monitoring of the quality of carioca records registered in each family health unit. For this, the regular management of duplicate records in the registered user lists is essential to minimize the over-registration of clinical cases reported in the electronic medical records.
