Análise de série temporal das intervenções coronarianas percutâneas realizadas em pacientes com doença isquêmica crônica do coração no Estado de Sergipe no período de 2008 a 2015

Abstract

Chronic ischemic heart disease is a serious disease nowadays, but it remains doubts about its best therapeutic alternative. The COURAGE study, published in 2007, questioned the long-term benefit of percutaneous coronary intervention as initial therapy when compared to medical therapy itself. Subsequent studies corroborated to the findings of the COURAGE therefore it is relevant to observe their effects on current clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: a time series analysis of percutaneous coronary interventions performed by the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS) in the State of Sergipe (Brazil) in the period from 2008 to 2015. METHODS: Through the Decentralized Hospital Information System (SIHD), data relating to admissions in referral hospitals for treatment of chronic ischemic heart disease, with percutaneous coronary intervention, in the given period were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: We analyzed 283 admissions for ischemic heart disease in that period. Patients were predominantly male (64%). The most frequent age group was 60-69 years-old, average age of 62. CONCLUSION: The number of percutaneous coronary interventions in Sergipe increased, in general, from 2008 to 2015.
