Abstract(s)
O programa “Via verde do AVC” foi implementado em Portugal desde 2005, com o objetivode reduzir a mortalidade por AVC. As taxas de mortalidade por AVC têm vindo a diminuir,mas nenhum estudo tentou medir a ligac¸ão entre esta tendência e a “Via verde do AVC”. Este estudo pretendeu avaliar se o programa conseguiu ganhos significativos de saúde. Contámos com 2 fontes de dados: dados hospitalares a nível individual de internamentos por AVC isquémico e taxas regionais de mortalidade por AVC.Para ambos os tipos de dados não encontrámos qualquer evidência de a “Via verde doAVC” ter um impacto estatisticamente significativo sobre a mortalidade do AVC isquémico.© 2012 Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública.
The program 'Via verde do AVC' has been implemented in Portugal since 2005, with the objective of reducing mortality by stroke. Mortality rates from stroke have been decreasing, but no studies have been done measuring the link between this trend and 'Via verde do AVC'. This study aims to assess whether the program has achieved significant health gains. We rely on two data sources: individual level hospital data on ischemic stroke admissions and regional level stroke mortality rates. For both types of data we find no evidence that 'Via verde do AVC' had a statistically significant impact on ischemic stroke mortality.
