Prevalência de perda auditiva incapacitante em Juiz de Fora, Brasil Disabling hearing loss prevalence in Juiz de Fora, Brazil

Abstract

No Brasil, dados de prevalência da perda auditiva incapacitante (PAI) são escassos, o que impacta o conhecimento dos profissionais da saúde sobre a extensão desse problema. OBJETIVOS: O presente estudo visou estimar a prevalência da PAI no município de Juiz de Fora, MG, identificar possíveis variáveis individuais relacionadas e verificar áreas de risco. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo descritivo populacional seccional realizado de janeiro a outubro de 2009. Foram selecionados, aleatoriamente, 349 domicílios com 1.050 indivíduos com idade entre 4 dias e 95 anos. Os instrumentos de coleta foram: questionário estruturado da OMS, exame otorrinolaringológico e exames complementares. Teste de qui-quadrado e modelos de regressão de Poisson foram utilizados para análise. RESULTADOS: A prevalência da PAI foi estimada em 5,2% (95% CI = 3,1-7,3) a qual foi classificada como moderada em 3,9% (95% IC = 0,001-0,134), grave em 0,9% (95% IC = 0,001-0,107) e profunda em 0,4% (95% IC = 0,001-0,095). Foi verificada correlação entre PAI e zumbido, idade acima de 60 anos e baixa escolaridade. CONCLUSÕES: Os dados obtidos apontam para a necessidade de se criar programas de saúde auditiva direcionados aos grupos de risco, promovendo qualidade de vida em pacientes com surdez.Data on the prevalence of disabling hearing loss (DHL) in Brazil is scarce, which impacts healthcare professionals' knowledge on the extent of the problem. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at estimating DHL prevalence in the municipality of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, to identify individual-related variables and find risk areas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a descriptive sectional population study held from January to October of 2009. We randomly selected 349 households with 1,050 individuals who with ages ranging between 4 days and 95 years. The data collection instruments were: WHO structured questionnaire, ENT examination and laboratory tests. Chi-square and Poison regression models were used for analyses. RESULTS: DHL prevalence was estimated at 5.2% (95% CI = 3.1 to 7.3) which was classified as moderate in 3.9% (95% CI = 0.001 to 0.134), severe in 0.9% (95% CI = 0.001 to 0.107) and profound in 0.4% (95% CI = 0.001 to 0.095). We found correlation between DHL and tinnitus; age over 60 years and low educational level. CONCLUSIONS: Our data obtained pointed to the need to create hearing health programs targeted to specific risk groups, promoting quality of life for hearing impaired patients.
