ABSTRACT
Stratification is a useful strategy to obtain an objective diagnosis according to which to plan prevention and control activities for different diseases. The main objective of the work was to identify the territorial behavior of the absolute risk of selected communicable diseases in the province. Epidemiological stratification of 5 selected diseases (EDA, ARI, Tuberculosis, Viral Meningoencephalitis and Leprosy) was carried out, using the absolute risk method, which consisted of the formation of different risk strata: low, medium and high. During 2018 Bayamo was classified as a high risk municipality; the distribution by municipalities according to the number of high risk entities we could verify the following: Bayamo (5); Manzanillo (3); Cauto Cristo, Yara, Campechuela, Media Luna, Niquero, Buey Arriba and Guisa (2 each); Jiguaní, Pilón and Bartolomé Masó (1 each); Río Cauto (it is not at high risk for any entity); According to the selected diseases, the distribution of the municipalities that were at high risk was as follows: ARF, Tuberculosis, Viral Meningoencephalitis and Leprosy (4 municipalities in each), EDA (3 municipalities). The conformation of the risk strata according to the chosen methodology guarantees the program managers the design of intervention strategies for each one of the analyzed diseases, according to the behavior of the factors associated with them and completing the diagnostic-intervention process- evaluation.REFERENCES
