- Abstract
Objective: analyze the filling in of the syphilis investigation forms acquired in a Regional Health Superintendence in the South of Minas Gerais. Method: descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional, quantitative study of acquired syphilis cases reported from January 2010 to June 2017. An instrument was used to collect the data, using the criteria: unfilled fields, filling in the ignored field and information inconsistencies. These were analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Science, using descriptive statistics, with presentation of percentage values. Results: it was found that 62.2% had a variable without filling in, with the role of the professional responsible for filling in being the most predominant (100.0%). 31.3% indicated filling in the ignored field, with a history of syphilis being the most frequent (37.0%). 66.3% presented some information inconsistency, highlighting the result of the treponemic test / final classification of the case (54.9%). Conclusion: the reliability of this notification depends on the professionals' ability to correctly diagnose and report these injuries.
