LIMA, Mateus Henrique Guiotti Mazão et al. Magnitude and temporal trend of leprosy indicators in Goiás, Brazil: an ecological study 2001-2017. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.5, e2019575. Epub 02-Nov-2020. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1679-49742020000500012.
Objective:
To analyze the trend of leprosy indicators in Goiás between 2001 and 2017.
Methods:
An ecological time series study was conducted. Leprosy morbidity and operational indicators were calculated using Notifiable Health Conditions Information System data. Prais-Winsten regression was used for trend analysis.
Results:
There was a falling trend in the detection rate in the general population (Annual Percent Change [APC] = -6.8 – 95%CI -8.2;-5.4) and in children under 15 years old (APC = -7.2 – 95%CI -8.5;-5.9); a rising trend in the proportion of grade 2 disability (APC = 3.7 – 95%CI 2.0;5.3) and in the proportion of examined physical disability (APC = 0.6 – 95%CI 0.3;0.8); healing and examined contacts proportions were stable.
Conclusion:
Detection rates decreased while the proportions of grade 2 physical disability and examined physical disability increased.
