consultations due to dog bites and animal follow up in the south of the city of salta, argentina |
| description |
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out based on consultations of patients seen in the emergency room of a central hospital in a new operational area in the south of the city of Salta (Argentina) with 26 health centers reporting to it and offering coverage to about 200 thousand inhabitants. For the same coverage area, we registered the number of dogs entered to the Municipal Offi ce of Zoonosis for observation, according to the Observation Charts of Biter Animals which are enabled when the informer comes to the Offi ce and shows a police report or medical certifi cate (from public or private sector). Age distribution of bitten patients is strongly asymmetric-positive, which confi rms that pediatric population is more vulnerable to animal attacks. When the relation between sex and age groups was analyzed, no association was found between these variables for groups of children and adolescents; so age was independent of the sex of the bitten person (?2= 3.15; p=0.6764). In groups age 20 and older, women were signifi cantly more affected than men (?2= 8.65; p=0.0033). In the period studied, a rate of 1 biter animal was observed according to the procedure, every 7 bites seen at the hospital. |

C. Sánchez, A. P. Tolaba, M. Herrera Verduguez, M. Flores, C. M. dog bites Public Health Zoonosis Mordeduras de perro Salud Pública Zoonosis mordidas de cão saúde pública zoonose A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out based on consultations of patients seen in the emergency room of a central hospital in a new operational area in the south of the city of Salta (Argentina) with 26 health centers reporting to it and offering coverage to about 200 thousand inhabitants. For the same coverage area, we registered the number of dogs entered to the Municipal Offi ce of Zoonosis for observation, according to the Observation Charts of Biter Animals which are enabled when the informer comes to the Offi ce and shows a police report or medical certifi cate (from public or private sector).

In groups age 20 and older, women were signifi cantly more affected than men (?2= 8.65; p=0.0033). In the period studied, a rate of 1 biter animal was observed according to the procedure, every 7 bites seen at the hospital. Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal, descriptivo, sobre las consultas atendidas por guardia de un hospital cabecera de una nueva área operativa del sur de la Ciudad de Salta (Argentina) de la que dependen 26 centros de salud y brinda cobertura a una población aproximada de 200 mil habitantes. Para la misma zona de cobertura se registraron la cantidad de caninos ingresados a la Dirección Municipal de Zoonosis para observación en base a las Planillas de Observaciones de Animales Mordedores, las que se habilitan cuando el denunciante se presenta en las ofi cinas del organismo con el requisito de presentar la denuncia policial o el certifi cado médico (del servicio público o privado). La distribución de la edad de los pacientes mordidos es fuertemente asimétrica positiva, lo que confi rma que la población pediátrica es las más vulnerable al ataque de animales. Cuando se analizó la relación entre el sexo y los grupos de edad, no se encontró asociación entre estas variables para los grupos etareos de niños y adolescentes, de modo que la edad resultó independiente del sexo del individuo mordido (?2= 3,15; p=0,6764). En individuos de 20 o más años, las mujeres resultaron signifi cativamente más afectadas que los hombres (?2= 8,65; p=0,0033). En el periodo de tiempo estudiado, se obtuvo una razón de 1 animal mordedor observado según procedimiento, por cada 7 mordeduras atendidas en el hospital. Realizou-se uma pesquisa de corte transversal-descritivo em casos tratados pela guarda de um hospital principal de uma nova área operacional ao sul da cidade de Salta (Argentina), dos quais dependem 26 centros de saúde e fornece cobertura para uma população estimada de 200.000 habitantes. Para a mesma área de cobertura foi cadastrado o número de cães admitidos no Departamento Municipal de Zoonose para observação com base na análise das Planilhas de Observação de Animais Mordedores, que são habilitadas quando o denunciante apresenta-se nos escritórios da agência com o requisito de apresentar uma denúncia policial ou atestado médico (serviço público ou privado). A distribuição etária dos pacientes mordidos é marcadamente assimétrica positiva, confi rmando que a população pediátrica é a mais vulnerável a ataques de animais. Quando a relação entre sexo e grupos etários foi analisada, não evidenciou-se associação entre essas variáveis para as faixas etárias de crianças e adolescentes, por isso, a idade foi independente do sexo do indivíduo mordido (?2= 3,15; p=0,6764). Em pacientes de 20 ou mais anos, as mulheres foram signifi cativamente mais afetadas que os homens (?2= 8,65; p=0,0033). No período estudado, foi obtida uma proporção de 1 animal mordedor observado segundo o procedimento, para cada 7 mordidas tratadas no hospital. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
