Grupo de pesquisa que promove o uso de evidências para dar suporte à tomada de decisão
Somos um grupo de pesquisa interinstitucional, que tem por objetivo promover o uso de evidências no suporte à tomada de decisões tanto na clínica (processo de cuidado, particularmente entre pacientes idosos e no tratamento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT), e uso seguro de medicamentos) e na gestão (incorporação de medicamentos no SUS ou em processos judiciais, por exemplo).
POR QUE DCNT?
Key facts
-
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) kill 40 million people each year, equivalent to 70% of all deaths globally.
-
Each year, 15 million people die from a NCD between the ages of 30 and 69 years; over 80% of these "premature" deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.
-
Cardiovascular diseases account for most NCD deaths, or 17.7 million people annually, followed by cancers (8.8 million), respiratory diseases (3.9million), and diabetes (1.6 million).
-
These 4 groups of diseases account for over 80% of all premature NCD deaths.
-
Tobacco use, physical inactivity, the harmful use of alcohol and unhealthy diets all increase the risk of dying from a NCD.
-
Detection, screening and treatment of NCDs, as well as palliative care, are key components of the response to NCDs.
