Abstract

Objectives

Sarcoidosis is a disease whose prevalence varies considerably worldwide. In Colombia, the Ministry of Health has strengthened the Comprehensive System of Social Protection Information (SISPRO) to collect data on the provision of health services at the national level, thus providing a source of information available for research. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of sarcoidosis using consultation records collected between January 2018 and December 31, 2022.

Study design

Cross-sectional study.

Methods

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using the SISPRO database and the relevant International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes for sarcoidosis (D860, D861, D862, D863, D868, D869, G532, M633).

Results

During the mentioned period, a total of 6828 patients were identified, of which 66.9 % were women (4571 patients). The prevalence of sarcoidosis was estimated at 12.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, being higher in the age group of 60–69 years.

Conclusions

The information obtained from this study highlights the importance of continuing to monitor and evaluate the burden of sarcoidosis in the country, which can contribute to a better understanding of the disease's epidemiology and, in turn, to the planning of early diagnosis and timely treatment strategies.

哥伦比亚肉样瘤病的发病率：对卫生部数据库的分析。

目的：肉样瘤病是一种发病率在世界范围内差异很大的疾病。在哥伦比亚，卫生部加强了社会保护信息综合系统（SISPRO），以收集全国范围内提供医疗服务的数据，从而为研究提供信息来源。本研究旨在利用 2018 年 1 月至 2022 年 12 月 31 日期间收集的就诊记录估算肉样瘤病的患病率：横断面研究：使用 SISPRO 数据库和肉样瘤病的相关国际疾病分类（ICD-10）代码（D860、D861、D862、D863、D868、D869、G532、M633）进行了一项描述性横断面研究：在上述期间，共发现了 6828 名患者，其中 66.9% 为女性（4571 名患者）。肉样瘤病的发病率估计为每 10 万居民中有 12.8 例，60-69 岁年龄组的发病率较高：这项研究获得的信息强调了继续监测和评估国内肉样瘤病负担的重要性，这有助于更好地了解该疾病的流行病学，进而规划早期诊断和及时治疗策略。
