Resumo: Objective. To analyze the waiting time and the duration of medical consultations in Manaus metropolitan region, Brazil. Methods. Cross-sectional study conducted with adults living in the region in 2015. The waiting time for consultation and the duration of the consultation in minutes were self-reported by the participants. The analysis was performed by Tobit regression and weighted by the complex design. Results. 4,001 individuals were interviewed. The average waiting time was 125.4 minutes (95%CI 120.2;130.5), while consultation lasted an average of 52.5 minutes (95%CI 48.0;57.0). Women, poor people, low-educated people, indigenous individuals, countryside residents, people without health insurance, and individuals consulted by gynecologists waited longer for the consultation (p <0.05). Consultation time was shorter with non-white people, with poor health status and with health insurance (p <0.05). Conclusion. The length of the medical consultation was on average half the waiting time. Social inequalities were observed in these times.

Analisar o tempo de espera e a duração de consulta médica na região metropolitana de Manaus, Brasil. Métodos. Estudo transversal, realizado com adultos residentes na região em 2015. O tempo de espera para consulta e a duração da consulta, em minutos, foram referidos pelos participantes. A análise foi realizada por regressão de Tobit e ponderada pelo desenho amostral. Resultados. Foram entrevistados 4.001 indivíduos. O tempo médio de espera foi de 125,4 minutos (IC95%120,2;130,5), enquanto a consulta durou, em média, 52,5 minutos (IC95%48,0;57,0). Mulheres, pessoas pobres, pessoas com baixa escolaridade, indígenas, residentes em municípios do interior, sem seguro de saúde e atendidos por ginecologistas esperaram mais pela consulta (p<0,05). O tempo de consulta foi menor em pessoas não brancas, com estado de saúde ruim e com plano de saúde (p<0,05). Conclusão. A consulta médica durou, em média, metade do tempo de espera. Observaram-se iniquidades sociais nesses períodos de tempo.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-07-03info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/87910.1590/SciELOPreprints.879porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/879/1228Copyright (c) 2020 Tais Freire Galvão, Gustavo Magno Baldin Tiguman, Douglas Borges da Costa Filho, Marcus Tolentino Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGalvão, Tais FreireTiguman, Gustavo Magno Baldin Costa Filho, Douglas Borges daSilva, Marcus Tolentino reponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-07-03T10:58:05Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/879Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-07-03T10:58:05SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse
