However, few studies explore this theme in other professions (non-HCW). This manuscript aimed to characterize and analyze factors associated with TB the according to their occupational status, defined as TB acquired at workplace (HCW or non-HCW). Methods: Cross-sectional study utilizing the Brazilian National Surveillance System (SINAN) database, which includes data related to occupational TB transmission. Results: The proportion of TB cases attributable to occupational TB based on data from 2007 to 2011 in Brazil was 1.6%. We analyzed 3,049 subjects, of whom 298 (10%) were TB – HCW and 2,751 (90%) were TB – non-HCW. Among the HCW, were less likely to be male (OR = 0.24 CI 95% 0.18-0.32), to be alcoholism (OR = 0.17, 95% CI 0.05 – 0.54), covered under the DOTS program (OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.43-0.77) and being transferred (OR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.16-0.70). On the other hand, HCW are more likely to have more than 8 years of schooling (OR = 27.47, 95% CI 16.64 – 45.34), have an age of 43 years or more (OR = 1.96, 95% CI 1.37-2.79) and develop extrapulmonary TB (OR = 1.60, 95% CI 1.12-2.28). Conclusions: It highlighted the need for attention to TB as an occupational disease, it is important to strengthen the discussions on the rights of workers, especially for non-HCW and the implementation of public health measures for the prevention and control of disease in both groups. 2017 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570460749005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570460749005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570460749005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570460749005/570460749005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570460749005/movil https://doi.org/10.17058/reci.v7i1.7411 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.7 |
