BRAZ, Rui Moreira; TAUIL, Pedro Luiz; SANTELLI, Ana Carolina Faria e Silva  y  FONTES, Cor Jesus Fernandes. Evaluation of the completeness and timeliness of malaria reporting in the Brazilian Amazon, 2003-2012. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.1, pp.21-32. ISSN 1679-4974.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the completeness and timeliness of malaria case reporting, diagnosis and treatment in the Brazilian Amazon. METHODS: this is a descriptive study using data from 23 fields of notification forms recorded on the Malaria Epidemiological Surveillance Information System (Sivep-Malaria) between 2003 and 2012. RESULTS: data completeness was good in 86.0% of fields (≥90.0% filled in); there was timely recording of 40.6% of notifications at the Municipal Health Departments (0-7 days following notification) and 75.6% at the Ministry of Health (0-30 days following notification); timely diagnosis and timely treatment occurred in 44.6% and45.4% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: most notification forms had good completeness; timeliness in recording notifications was below international standards; timeliness of diagnosis and treatment was below Health Ministry recommendations.
