Resumo: | Leprosy is a chronic infection, being considered a serious public health problem due to its magnitude and high disabling potential. In this perspective, this study aimed to analyze the epidemiological profile of leprosy patients and spatial characteristics of the disease in Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil. This was an ecological, descriptive and analytical study of 559 leprosy patients from Aracaju, from 2011 to 2015. All information was obtained from Information System for Notifiable Injuries, Ministry of Health of Brazil. Descriptive and analytical statistical analyzes and spatial characterization methods were used. A decreasing tendency in the detection of leprosy cases during the study period was observed, with the relative frequency going from 23% (n = 129) in 2011 to 14.5% (n = 81) in 2015. The tuberculoid form was the most common (28.2%, n = 158), followed by dimorphic (24.5%, n = 137), undetermined (21.5%, n = 120) and lepromatous (20.6%; n = 115). The multibacillary operational classification also corresponded to the majority of notifications (52.4%, n = 293), with the associated factors age ≥ 16 years (OR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.12-5.25) and male gender (OR = 2.74, 95% CI = 1.94-3.86) (p <0.05). A high risk cluster for the illness and the higher density of the mean detection incidence by the Kernel estimate was more concentrated in the central-northern portion of Aracaju. Statistical analysis allowed a better understanding of the epidemiological profile of leprosy patients and the identification of critical areas for illness and spread of the disease. |

Este estudio analizó el perfil epidemiológico de los pacientes con lepra y las características espaciales de la enfermedad en Aracaju, Sergipe, Brasil. Estudio ecológico, descriptivo y analítico con 559 leprosos de Aracaju, de 2011 a 2015. Toda la información fue obtenida del Sistema de Información de Enfermedades Notificables del Ministerio de Salud de Brasil. Se utilizaron análisis estadísticos descriptivos y analíticos y métodos de caracterización espacial. Hubo una tendencia decreciente en la detección de casos de lepra durante el período de estudio, con una frecuencia relativa que pasó del 23% (n = 129) en 2011 al 14,5% (n = 81) en 2015. La forma tuberculoide fue los más frecuentes (28,2%, n = 158), seguidos de dimórficos (24,5%, n = 137), indeterminados (21,5%, n = 120) y Virchowian (20,6%; n = 115). La clasificación operativa multibacilar también correspondió a la mayoría de notificaciones (52,4%, n = 293), con factores asociados a edad ≥ 16 años (OR = 2,42; IC 95% = 1,12-5,25) y sexo hombres (OR = 2,74,995% IC = 1,94-3,86) (p <0,05). El grupo de alto riesgo para la enfermedad y la mayor densidad de la incidencia promedio de detección según la estimación de Kernel se concentraron más en la parte norte-central de Aracaju. El análisis estadístico permitió comprender mejor el perfil epidemiológico de los pacientes con lepra y la identificación de áreas críticas para la enfermedad y la propagación de la enfermedad.A hanseníase é uma infecção crônica, considerada um grave problema de saúde pública devido à sua magnitude e alto potencial incapacitante. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes com hanseníase e as características espaciais da doença em Aracaju, Sergipe, Brasil. Estudo ecológico, descritivo e analítico com 559 pacientes com hanseníase de Aracaju, de 2011 a 2015. Todas as informações foram obtidas no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. Foram utilizadas análises estatísticas descritivas e analíticas e métodos de caracterização espacial. Observou-se uma tendência decrescente na detecção de casos de hanseníase durante o período do estudo, com a frequência relativa passando de 23% (n = 129) em 2011 para 14,5% (n = 81) em 2015. A forma tuberculóide foi a mais comum (28,2%, n = 158), seguido por dimórfico (24,5%, n = 137), indeterminado (21,5%, n = 120) e virchowiano (20,6%; n = 115). A classificação operacional multibacilar também correspondeu à maioria das notificações (52,4%, n = 293), com os fatores associados idade ≥ 16 anos (OR = 2,42; IC 95% = 1,12-5,25) e sexo masculino (OR = 2,74,995 % CI = 1,94-3,86) (p <0,05). O cluster de alto risco para a doença e a maior densidade da incidência média de detecção pela estimativa de Kernel concentrou-se mais na porção centro norte de Aracaju.
