Thus, this study aimed to analyze clinical and sociodemographic data, in order to outline the epidemiological profile of accidents involving venomous animals in Maranhão. Methods: this is an ecological study with a quantitative approach, carried out from data collection by the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) of notifications of accidents by venomous animals that occurred in the state of Maranhão from 2012 to 2021. Results: of the 34,808 cases reported, it was found that the highest incidence occurred in 2019 and, in general, January is the month in which most accidents are recorded. When analyzing the sociodemographic profile, it is noted that the majority of victims are represented by male individuals, between 20-39 years old, with an unidentified level of education. In the case of clinical and epidemiological criteria, it was evident that snakes of the genus Bothrops are responsible for the highest incidence, with most cases involving venomous animals occurring within 1-3 hours after the bite. Among the cases identified, 63% were described as mild and 82% progressed to cure. Conclusion: the epidemiological profile described in the study can be used by health agents to plan preventive measures in Primary Health Care, and knowing the profile of victims is essential to prevent and promote quality care. 2024 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570477720003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720003/570477720003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720003/movil 10.17058/reci.v14i1.18411 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.14 |
