Resumo: | INTRODUCTION: Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide, representing a significant challenge for healthcare systems, especially in developing countries. In Brazil, pneumonia is a particular concern due to its high incidence and disproportionate impact on children. Understanding epidemiological patterns is crucial for guiding public health policies and targeted interventions that aim to reduce the burden of disease and improve health outcomes for Brazilian children. OBJECTIVE: To determine the epidemiological profile of deaths from Pneumonia in the pediatric age group in Brazil from 2019 to 2023. METHODS: This is an epidemiological, retrospective and descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, based on data obtained from the IT Department of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), carried out using data on pediatric deaths due to Pneumonia, in Brazil, between the years 2019 and 2023, using the variables: region, age group, incidence per year, sex and race. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Of the 5,696 deaths analyzed, 51.9% (2,958) were male and 48.1% (2,738) were female. Among the regions, Northeast was the most affected with 1,674 deaths (29.3%), followed by the Southeast region 26.3% (1,496) and North 24.4% (1,392), South region 10.7% (611), the region with the lowest incidence was Central-West 9.2% (523). The age range analyzed was between children under 1 and 14 years old, individuals under 1 year old were the most affected, representing 45.7% (2,606) of deaths, which is explained by the vulnerability of this population due to the immaturity of the immune system and early exposure to environmental risk factors, while the age group between 5 and 9 years old had the lowest prevalence, with 11.3% (643). Regarding race, brown individuals were most affected 49.1% (2,795), followed by white people with 20.8% (1,187) and black people had the lowest number of deaths 2.8% (164). In 2022, 1470 (25.8%) deaths were recorded, a reduction was observed in the years 2020 (734) and 2021 (742), in comparison to 2019 (1,317), a fact explained by underreporting during the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19. Such findings reflect regional discrepancies and structural inequalities, such as differentiated access to health services, precarious health infrastructure and unfavorable socioeconomic conditions, which can directly impact incidence and outcome. Furthermore, differences in susceptibility to respiratory infections and unequal access to healthcare explain why males and brown skin are more affected. CONCLUSION: There was a predominance of deaths among male children, with the Northeast region being the most affected. The most vulnerable age group was children under one year of age, and brown individuals represented the majority of cases, with the highest number of deaths occurring in 2022. These patterns reflect an interplay of biological, social, and environmental factors, including differences in susceptibility, unequal access to health care, and socioeconomic conditions. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing effective interventions, such as creating a national care protocol and thus having equitable measures to prevent and control pediatric pneumonia in the country. |

INTRODUÇÃO: A pneumonia é uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade pediátrica em todo o mundo, representando um desafio significativo para os sistemas de saúde, especialmente em países em desenvolvimento. No Brasil, a pneumonia é uma preocupação particular devido à sua alta incidência e impacto desproporcional em crianças. A compreensão dos padrões epidemiológicos é crucial para orientar políticas de saúde pública e intervenções direcionadas que visam reduzir a carga da doença e melhorar os resultados de saúde das crianças brasileiras. OBJETIVO: Determinar o perfil epidemiológico dos óbitos por Pneumonia em faixa etária pediátrica no Brasil de 2019 a 2023. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, retrospectivo e descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, a partir dos dados obtidos no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), realizado mediante dados sobre óbitos pediátricos por Pneumonia, no Brasil, entre os anos de 2019 a 2023, utilizando as variáveis: região, faixa etária, incidência por ano, sexo e raça. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Dos 5.696 óbitos analisados a 51,9% (2.958) pertencem ao sexo masculino e 48,1% (2.738) ao sexo feminino. Dentre as regiões, a Nordeste foi a mais afetada com 1.674 óbitos (29,3%), seguida pela região Sudeste 26,3% (1.496) e Norte 24,4% (1.392), região Sul 10,7% (611),a região com menor incidência foi a Centro-Oeste 9,2% (523). A faixa etária analisada foi entre menores de 1 ano e 14 anos, os indivíduos menores de 1 ano foram os mais afetados, representando 45,7% (2.606) dos óbitos, o que é explicado pela vulnerabilidade dessa população devido à imaturidade do sistema imunológico e exposição precoce a fatores de risco ambientais, enquanto a faixa etária entre 5 e 9 anos obteve a menor prevalência, com 11,3% (643). Em relação à raça, os individuos pardos foram mais acomeditos 49,1% (2.795), seguidos pelos brancos com 20,8% (1.187) e a cor preta obteve o menor número de óbitos 2,8% (164). O ano 2022 foi registrado 1470 (25,8%) óbitos, observou-se uma redução nos anos de 2020 (734) e 2021 (742), em relação ao ano de 2019 (1.317), fato explicado pela subnotificação durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Tais achados refletem as discrepâncias regionais desigualdades estruturais, como acesso diferenciado a serviços de saúde, infraestrutura sanitária precária e condições socioeconômicas desfavoráveis, que podem impactar diretamente na incidência e desfecho. Além disso, as diferenças na suscetibilidade a infecções respiratórias e acesso desigual aos cuidados de saúde, explica o sexo masculino e a cor parda serem mais acometidas. CONCLUSÃO: Constatou-se uma predominância de óbitos entre crianças do sexo masculino, com a região Nordeste sendo a mais afetada. A faixa etária mais vulnerável foi a de menores de um ano, e indivíduos pardos representaram a maioria dos casos, o ano de 2022 ocorreu o maior número de óbitos. Esses padrões refletem uma interação de fatores biológicos, sociais e ambientais, incluindo diferenças na suscetibilidade, acesso desigual aos cuidados de saúde e condições socioeconômicas. A compreensão dessas dinâmicas é crucial para o desenvolvimento de intervenções eficazes, como a criação de um protocolo de atendimento nacional e, assim ter medidas equitativas para prevenir e controlar a pneumonia pediátrica no país.Specialized Dentistry Group2024-04-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://bjihs.emnuvens.com.br/bjihs/article/view/180510.36557/2674-8169.2024v6n4p259-271Brazilian Journal of Implantology and Health Sciences ; Vol. 6 No. 4 (2024): BJIHS QUALIS B3 - IMPACT FACTOR SJIF 5.807; 259-271Brazilian Journal of Implantology and Health Sciences ; Vol. 6 Núm. 4 (2024): BJIHS QUALIS B3 - FATOR DE IMPACTO SJIF 5.807; 259-271Brazilian Journal of Implantology and Health Sciences ; v. 6 n. 4 (2024): BJIHS QUALIS B3 - FATOR DE IMPACTO SJIF 5.807; 259-2712674-8169reponame:Brazilian Journal of Implantology and Health Sciencesinstname:Grupo de Odontologia Especializada (GOE)instacron:GOEporhttps://bjihs.emnuvens.com.br/bjihs/article/view/1805/2042Copyright (c) 2024 Talya Aguiar de Lima, Juliana Alvarenga Rosa, Ana Paula de França Dias, Isabella Kittlaus , Domingos Lopes de Sousa Neto , Emília Moura Silva , Fernanda Dantas Cavalcante Mariano Batista , Luiz Arthur Alves de Albuquerque , Davi Nogueira Jales, Francisberg Dias Coelho, Pedro Henrique Rodrigues Ferreira , Hamóys Kesllen Vieira Sousa , Maria Clara Barbosa de Almeida https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLima, Talya Aguiar deRosa, Juliana AlvarengaDias, Ana Paula de FrançaKittlaus , IsabellaNeto , Domingos Lopes de SousaSilva , Emília Moura Batista , Fernanda Dantas Cavalcante MarianoAlbuquerque , Luiz Arthur Alves deJales, Davi NogueiraCoelho, Francisberg DiasFerreira , Pedro Henrique Rodrigues Sousa , Hamóys Kesllen Vieira Almeida , Maria Clara Barbosa de2024-04-09T11:05:05Zoai:ojs.bjihs.emnuvens.com.br:article/1805Revistahttps://bjihs.emnuvens.com.br/bjihsONGhttps://bjihs.emnuvens.com.br/bjihs/oaijournal.bjihs@periodicosbrasil.com.br2674-81692674-8169opendoar:2024-04-09T11:05:05Brazilian Journal of Implantology and Health Sciences - Grupo de Odontologia Especializada (GOE)false |
