Objective: To analyze the epidemiological leprosy trend in Minas Gerais from 1995 to 2015,
focusing on grade-2 physical disability.
Method: An ecological time series study, where the new cases of leprosy notified from 1995
to 2015 were selected. The epidemiological indicators were calculated by year of detection.
The Prais-Winsten regression was used for trend analysis, with a 5% statistical significance.
Results: 50,673 new leprosy cases were recorded in the state. There was a decreasing trend
of the detection rates in the general population of -5.64; in children under 15 years old, it was
-5.64; and with a grade-2 physical disability, it was -6.97. The proportion of new cases with
grade-2 physical disability showed a steady trend.
Conclusion: Endemic maintenance in Minas Gerais is evidenced with late detection and
underreporting of cases, requiring greater investment in actions to eliminate and control the
disease. |
