Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Knowing the uniformity of data sources on the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Hypertension (H) in Goiás is important for the surveillance and control measures of these diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A comparative analysis was carried out between the data obtained in the 2021 Hypertension and Diabetes Survey of the State of Goiás (LHD) and in e-SUS Primary Care Strategy (e-SUS AB) database regarding the number of registered individuals in the primary health care network with the diagnoses of DM and H. RESULTS: In Goiás, the difference between the absolute number of individuals diagnosed with DM and H according to data from LHD and e-SUS AB, was 46.56% and 27% respectively (p <0.001). The difference between the number of individuals diagnosed with these diseases in accordance with to the 2 different sources was greater than 50% in 104 municipalities for DM and in 94 municipalities for H. DISCUSSION: The differences found may be related to the quality of personal data provided by the population, duplicate records, technical internet problems, obstacles in using the software, absence and/or difficulties in integrating information systems. These data demostrates the need for standardization of records of data related to theses diseases in order to strength surveillance actions. CONCLUSION: There are inconsistencies between the data on the number of individuals registered as having DM and H from the LHD and e-SUS AB in most municipalities in the State of Goiás.
