A gripe é uma doença respiratória aguda que, apesar de normalmente
benigna, pode ter um curso mais severo, com impacto nos ser viços
de saúde. O objetivo deste estudo é caracterizar o compor tamento de
procura de cuidados de saúde numa amostra da população por tuguesa
face a sintomatologia de gripe (SG). Realizou-se um estudo descritivo
com base na informação recolhida pelo sistema de vigilância par ticipativa
Gripenet, nas épocas de gripe de 2011/2012 a 2016/2017. Entre
2011/2012 e 2016/2017 foram identificados 4196 casos de SG. Do total
dos casos, 71,3% (IC95%: 69,9-72,6) referiu não ter recorrido a nenhum
ser viço de saúde; 11,4% (IC95%: 10,4-12,4) referiu uma consulta de
Medicina Geral e Familiar (MGF) e 6,2% (IC95%: 3,2-6,5) terá recorrido
a uma urgência /ser viço hospitalar. O estudo revelou que a maioria das
pessoas não recorre a nenhum ser viço de saúde, sendo a consulta de
MGF o ser viço mais utilizado numa situação de SG.
Influenza is an acute respiratory disease that although usually benign, can have severe form, with impact in health services use. The objective of this study is to characterize the health seeking behaviour on a Portuguese population sample regarding influenza like illness (ILI). We conducted a descriptive study based on data collected through the online collaborative system, Gripenet, in influenza seasons from 2011/12 to 2016/17. From all cases collected in 2011/12-2016/17 (n=4196), 71.3% [95%CI: 69.9-72.6] didn´t consult with any health service; 11.4% [10.4-12.4] reported having had a GP appointment and 6.2% [95%CI: 5.6-7.0] recurred to the ER/hospital. This study shows that the majority of ILIs does not seek any health services and the use of GP services was the most frequent service.
