Abstract
Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of vasectomies in Brazil and its regions by age group and race/skin color from 2013 to 2022.
Methods: This is a time series analysis study based on Hospital Information System data. Average annual percentage change (AAPC) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) of vasectomy coefficients were estimated using Joinpoint regression. Trends were compared using parallel testing and coincidence testing.
Results: In the period, there were 309,047 vasectomies in Brazil and their trend was stationary (AAPC 5.57; 95%CI -1.08; 12.66), although there was a rising trend in the Northern region (AAPC 11.53; 95%CI 2.30; 21.59) and in the Northeast region (AAPC 8.90; 95%CI 1.94; 16.34). All races/skin colors showed rising trends. Men who were 50-54 years old (AAPC 8.69; 95%CI 1.14; 16.81) and 55-59 years old (AAPC 8.71; 95%CI 0.92; 17.10) had the highest AAPC as well as rising trends. There were differences in trends, especially between age groups.
Conclusion: Vasectomy trends varied across Brazil, highlighting regional, age and racial disparities related to this procedure.
