Abstract:

This article aims to analyze supply characteristics and factors associated with pharmacological treatment for RA in Brazil, focusing on bDMARDs. A retrospective study was carried out with secondary datathe Outpatient Information System, of the Unified Health System. Patients aged 16 years or older, who received RA medicines between January to December 2019, were included. The analyzes were performed with exposure factors in relation to the outcomes: use of DMCDbio and population size. The study included 155,679 patients (84.6% of whom were women). There was a greater exchange of bDMARDs and a greater supply of rheumatologists in larger municipalities (more than 500 thousand inhabitants). Almost 40% of the patients used bDMARDs and they showed greater adherence to treatment (57.0% versus 64%, p=0.001). The bDMARDs dispensed to more than a third of patients treated for RA in Brazil, were associated with the highest availability of rheumatologists and the larger population size of the municipalities.
