| Abstract | Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm, whose incidence is 1.5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year, predominantly male. A hereditary predisposition seems to exist and the only well characterized risk factor is exposure to ionizing radiation. Geoprocessing is an informational tool to aid professionals and students of health able to map the disease and allow the analysis of socio-environmental risks. The aim of this study was to characterize the distribution of cases of CML and exposure to industrial toxic patients living in the state of Pernambuco Hospital Hemope record in the past five years. The case series study included all patients diagnosed with CML, aged 18 years, of both sexes, treated between January 2004 and December 2009 and coming from different regions of the State's development. For data collection and data analysis were used medical records and health applications and Excel 2003 Earth View. During the study period were diagnosed 201 cases of CML, with a median age of 49 years (extremes 18-93) and higher peak incidence between 40 and 50 years (24 %). There was male predominance (1.1:1) and residents of urban areas (86 %). The incidence of CML to the 12 development regions of the state ranged between 0.5 and 3.8 cases per 100,000 population per year with an average of 1.8 cases. Regions of the Southern Wild and Hinterland of Pajeu had a higher incidence of CML, however, no significant variation in the number of cases over the years and have not been identified socio-environmental determinants relevant associates. Only 10 % of the records presented records of patients on contact with toxic industrial. The incidence rate of CML was within the expected frequency, but with variations between the municipalities and the different development regions of state. The study by GIS aided analysis of the spatial distribution of cases to use the data as a baseline study. The interface between the professional and public health service is essential to recognize and respond to concerns about changes in the epidemiological profile of chronic diseases, compared to new scenarios of economic development. |
