A. Fernández, R. Estario, J. C. Enders, J. E. Epidemiología Trastornos por Estrés Postraumático Sismos Epidemiology Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders Seisms The 27 February 2010 Chilean earthquake occurred at a magnitude of 8.3 degrees. The most affected regions were O’Higgins, Maule, Bio Bio, Valparaíso, Santiago and Araucanía. The aim of this study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the Chilean population. It was analyzed a database of the Post Earthquake Survey (EPT 2010, Chile). The sample of households was 22,456 and 75,986 people. Statistical analyzes were descriptive with cartographic representations.The prevalence of PTSD in the country was 11.1%. Prevalence by regions were observed between 7% and 24%, the most affected region was Liberator B. O’Higgins. The prevalence was analyzed by province in Chile, showing greater affectation in the province of Concepción (30.1%). Correlation was obtained between prevalence and distance from the epicenter, and between prevalence and estimated intensity. It can be concluded that at a higher level of spatial disaggregation it was obtained epidemiological data more accurately. El 27 de febrero de 2010 ocurrió en Chile un terremoto de una magnitud de 8,3 grados. Las regiones más afectadas fueron O’Higgins, Maule, Bío Bío, Valparaíso, Santiago y Araucanía. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la distribución espacial de los trastornos de estrés postraumático (TEPT) en los habitantes chilenos. Se analizó una base de datos secundaria correspondiente a la Encuesta Post Terremoto (EPT 2010, Chile). La muestra de hogares fue de 22.456 y de 75.986 personas. Se realizaron análisis estadísticos descriptivos y representaciones cartográficas.La prevalencia de TEPT en todo el país fue del 11,1%. Al desagregar por regiones se observaron prevalencias entre el 7% y 24%; la región más afectada fue Libertador B. O’Higgins. Se analizaron las prevalencias a un menor nivel de desagregación, como es el nivel provincial en Chile, observándose mayor afectación en la provincia de Concepción (30,1%). Se obtuvo correlación entre prevalencia y distancia al epicentro, y entre prevalencia e intensidad estimada. Se puede concluir que a mayor nivel de desagregación espacial se obtuvo mayor precisión de datos epidemiológicos. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
