Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the association between socioeconomic factors, health care organizations, and the use of a management and monitoring system for the dispensing of antibiotics prescribed by dentists in public health services in Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil.Methods: This is an ecological-epidemiological study that analyzed secondary data from the Integrated Pharmaceutical Care Management System (SIGAF) of the Department of Health of the state of MG, Brazil, in 2017. Thirteen independent variables were analyzed to assess their influence on municipal adherence (yes, no) to SIGAF system considering dental prescriptions of antibiotics. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed, and the Classification and Regression Tree technique was used to identify the municipal variables associated with the outcome. Results: A total of 57,279 antibiotic courses prescribed by dentists and recorded in SIGAF were examined. Socioeconomic factors were not associated with the use of SIGAF to record these prescriptions. Oral healthcare coverage (p=0.038) was positively associated with the use of SIGAF for the dispensing of antibiotics prescribed by dentists. Dental Specialties Center (p=0.034) were negatively associated with the outcome. Conclusions: Municipalities with high oral healthcare coverage and those without a Dental Specialties Center were more likely to use SIGAF.
