MIRANDA M, Pablo A.; GUZMAN SAENZ, Roberto C.; BANOS A, Ivan e ALVAREZ B, Álvaro. Epidemiology of pulmonary hypertension in Colombia. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.3, pp.607-624. ISSN 0120-5552.
Objective:
To estimate the prevalence and incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in Colombia between the period between 2010 and 2014.
Methodology:
Cross-sectional study using the Data Warehouse of the Social Protection Information System (SISPRO) of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MSPS). We included all the nationwide patients who had registered the diagnoses of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (ICD-101270) during the period established for the study.
Results:
It was estimated that the prevalence and incidence of PH is approximately 52 and 20 cases per million inhabitants, respectively. It predominates in the female sex and in the age groups over 60 years.
Conclusion:
Epidemiological estimates of PH in Colombia are consistent with the definition of orphan or rare diseases.
