Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological profile of patients with tuberculosis (TB) in the municipality of Belém from 2019 to 2023 and identify the main risk factors that contribute to the prevalence of TB in affected individuals.

Methods: This is an epidemiological, cross-sectional, retrospective, descriptive and quantitative study, using secondary data freely available on the TABNET/DATASUS platform, for the municipality of Belém, covering various variables.

Results: The results show a higher prevalence among males (63.31%), adults (69.38%), those with incomplete primary education (29.22%) and those of brown race (72.22%). In addition, the pulmonary form of the disease (83.75%) and the type of entry as a new case (80.67%) were the most prevalent.

Conclusions: It was concluded that the prevalence of tuberculosis in Belém is associated with specific sociodemographic characteristics, such as gender, age group, educational level and race. The pulmonary form of the disease and the predominance of new cases are the main aspects observed in the study and highlight the need to intensify Tuberculosis prevention and control strategies.
