Temporal trend and spatial distribution of syphilis in pregnancy and congenital syphilis in Goiás, Brazil, 2007-2017: an ecological study
Abstract
Objective: To analyze temporal trend and spatial distribution of syphilis in pregnancy and congenital syphilis in Goiás State, Brazil, between 2007 and 2017.
Methods: This was an ecological time series and spatial distribution study with data obtained from the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System. Prais-Winsten Regression was used to analyze indicator trends by health macro-region. Descriptive spatial analysis was performed to verify case distribution in three different years in the period.
Results: Between 2007 and 2017, 7,679 cases of syphilis in pregnancy and 1,554 congenital syphilis cases were reported. A rising trend was found in the rates of syphilis in pregnancy (annual percent change [APC] = 18.0 - 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 15.3;20.8) as well as in congenital syphilis rates (APC=16.8 - 95%CI 20.1;33.8); and a 326% increase in the number of municipalities with a congenital syphilis incidence rate >0.5/1,000 live births.
Conclusion: Growth in syphilis in pregnancy and congenital syphilis detection rates was identified, as was growth in the number of municipalities reporting cases.
Objetivo: Analisar a tendência temporal e a distribuição espacial de sífilis gestacional (SG) e sífilis congênita (SC) em Goiás, Brasil, no período 2007-2017.
Métodos: Estudo ecológico de série temporal com dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação. Utilizou-se a regressão de Prais-Winsten para analisar a tendência dos indicadores, por macrorregião de saúde. Realizou-se análise espacial descritiva para verificar a distribuição espacial dos casos, em três anos da série.
Resultados: Foram registrados 7.679 casos de SG e 1.554 de SC no período. Observou-se tendência crescente das taxas de detecção de SG (variação percentual anual [VPA] de 18,0 – intervalo de confiança de 95% [IC95%] de 15,3 a 20,8) e de SC (VPA=16,8 – IC95% 20,1;33,8); e um acréscimo de 326% no número de municípios com taxa de incidência de SC >0,5/1 mil nascidos vivos.
Conclusão: Foi identificado crescimento das taxas de detecção da sífilis gestacional e congênita e do número de municípios notificantes.

Resultados: Se registraron 7.679 casos de sífilis gestacional y 1.554 casos de congénita. Hubo una tendencia creciente en las tasas de detección de SG con (Variación Porcentual Anual [VPA] de 18,0 – intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC95%] de 15,3 a 20,8) y de SC (VPA=16,8 – IC95% 20,1; 33,8); y un aumento del 326% en el número de municipios con una tasa de incidencia de sífilis congénita >0,5/1000 nacidos vivos.
Conclusión: Se identificó um aumento creciente de sífilis gestacional y sífilis congénita y del número de municipios notificantes en Goiás.
