[Trends in the use of medical and dental services and associations with educational level and private health plan coverage in Brazil, 1998-2013].

Abstract:

:The public-private mix in the Brazilian health system favors double coverage of health services for individuals with private health plans and may aggravate inequities in the use of services. The aim of this study was to describe trends in the use of medical and dental services and associations with schooling and private health coverage. Data were obtained from a national household survey with representative samples in the years 1998, 2003, 2008, and 2013. The study described trends in the use of health services by adults, adjusted by private health coverage, years of schooling, sex, and age. There was an upward trend in the use of health services in adults without a private plan and among adults with a private plan the trend in use varied in a non-linear way. The medical service presented alternation in use over the years and the dental service showed a tendency to decline after 2003. It is necessary to monitor trends in private health coverage and the use of health services to assist government in regulating private plans and avoid increasing inequities among citizens in access to and use of health services. :O mix público-privado do sistema de saúde brasileiro favorece cobertura duplicada aos serviços de saúde aos indivíduos que possuem plano privado de saúde e pode aumentar as iniquidades no uso dos serviços. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever as tendências no uso dos serviços de saúde médicos e odontológicos e a relação com nível educacional e posse de plano privado de saúde. Os dados foram obtidos de inquéritos domiciliares nacionais com amostras representativas dos anos de 1998, 2003, 2008 e 2013. Foram descritas as tendências no uso de serviços de saúde por adultos ajustadas por posse de plano privado de saúde, nível de educação, sexo e idade. Há tendência de aumento no uso dos serviços de saúde em adultos sem plano privado e, entre adultos com plano privado, a tendência no uso variou de forma não linear. O serviço médico apresentou alternância no uso a longo dos anos e o serviço odontológico apresentou tendência de declínio após o ano de 2003. Acompanhar as tendências na posse de planos privados de saúde e no uso dos serviços de saúde é necessário para auxiliar o Estado na regulação dos planos privados e evitar o aumento das iniquidades no acesso e uso dos serviços de saúde entre os cidadãos. :El mix público-privado del sistema de salud brasileño favorece la cobertura duplicada a los servicios de salud para individuos que posean un plan privado de salud, y puede aumentar las inequidades en el uso de los servicios. El objetivo de este estudio es describir las tendencias en el uso de los servicios de salud médicos y odontológicos, y su relación con el nivel educacional y la tenencia de un plan privado de salud.

Existe una tendencia de aumento en el uso de los servicios de salud en adultos sin plan privado y, entre los adultos con plan privado, la tendencia en el uso varió de forma no lineal. El servicio médico presentó alternancia en el uso a lo largo de los años y el servicio odontológico presentó tendencia de declinación después del año 2003 Acompañar las tendencias en la obtención de planes privados de salud y en el uso de los servicios de salud es necesario para auxiliar al Estado en la regulación de los planes privados, y así evitar el aumento de las inequidades en el acceso y uso de los servicios de salud entre los ciudadanos.
