Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the consistency of data regarding the provision of fluoridation in Brazilian municipalities with water supply systems.

Methods: Official data from the National Basic Sanitation Survey and the National Information System on Sanitation for 2017 were compared.

Results: Out of 5,570 municipalities in Brazil, 4,546 (81.6%) had water supply systems. The agreement between data sources was 84%, with a Kappa of 0.668, indicating substantial agreement. However, the estimates of fluoridation provision exhibited an average discrepancy of 8.1 percentage points, ranging from 1.2 points in the Central-West region to 21.4 points in the Northeast region.

Conclusion: To address these inconsistencies, it is essential to enhance information sources, ensuring more reliable data for health, sanitation authorities, and society at large.

巴西氟化水供应信息的一致性。

研究目的本研究旨在评估巴西拥有供水系统的城市在提供氟化物方面的数据一致性：比较了 2017 年全国基本卫生调查和全国卫生信息系统的官方数据：在巴西的 5570 个城市中，4546 个（81.6%）拥有供水系统。数据来源之间的一致性为 84%，Kappa 为 0.668，表明数据来源之间的一致性很高。然而，氟化供水量的估计值平均相差 8.1 个百分点，从中西部地区的 1.2 个百分点到东北部地区的 21.4 个百分点不等：要解决这些不一致问题，必须加强信息来源，确保为卫生、环卫部门和整个社会提供更可靠的数据。
