0004/2014 - Who did not attend? First dental visit absences in secondary care in a large Brazilian city: a cross-sectional study Quem não compareceu? Ausências às primeiras consultas odontológicas na atenção secundária em um município brasileiro de grande porte: um estudo transversal
O estudo teve como objetivo identificar possíveis fatores associados ao não comparecimento à primeira consulta agendada em 2011, de usuários residentes em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, referenciados, a partir da atenção primária, para diferentes especialidades odontológicas da atenção secundária da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (SMSA). Foi realizado um estudo transversal utilizando-se pesquisa em base de dados secundários do Sistema deRegulação da SMSA. A variável dependente foi “não comparecimento” à consulta agendada e as variáveis independentes analisadas foram: idade, tempo na fila de espera, sexo, distrito sanitário de origem e especialidade para a qual o usuário foi referenciado. Entre as 6.428 primeiras consultas odontológicas agendadas para 2011 nas especialidades selecionadas para análise, 32,9% não foram realizadas em função da ausência do usuário. A partir da análise bivariada foi verificada associação estatisticamente significante entre o não comparecimento do usuário e as cinco variáveis independentes. Adultos jovens, do sexo masculino, residentes em determinados distritos, referenciados para as especialidades de cirurgia e endodontia e que ficaram mais tempo na fila de espera, apresentaram maior frequência de não comparecimentos.

Abstract:
The study aimed to identify possible factors associated with non-attendance at the firstdental appointments scheduled in 2011, of users living in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, who were referred from primary care to different dental specialties in secondary care within the public health services of the city. We conducted a cross-sectional study with data provided by the information system of the city of Belo Horizonte.

Among the 6,428 first dental visits scheduled for 2011 in the specialties selected for analysis, 32.9 % were not performed due to the absence of the user. A bivariate analyses demonstrated a statistically significant association between the non-attendance of the user and the five independent variables. Young adults, males, and residents of certain districts who were referred to the specialties of surgery and endodontics and who waited longer in the waiting list exhibited a higher frequency of no-shows.
