- Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess whether the Primary Health Care coverage, in different models, interfered with the number of reported cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, deaths and cure of the disease, in the state of São Paulo, from 2008 to 2016. This was an ecological study, with secondary data, statistically analyzed by Poisson regression. A higher prevalence of the disease was found in municipalities with a larger population, higher poverty rate and lower coverage of the Family Health Strategy. There were more deaths in municipalities with a larger population, better economic indicators, lower coverage of community health agents and with traditional Primary Health Care. Higher cure rates were observed in municipalities with worse economic and human development indicators, with higher coverage of community health agents and the Primary Health Care. The coverage of Primary Health Care, especially in models composed with community health agents, is associated with better indicators of pulmonary tuberculosis.
