ALVAREZ-ROMERO, Leidisley et al. SAIN: Computer system to support the population-based study of stomatology in children under 19 years of age. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.3 Epub 01-Mayo-2023. ISSN 1561-3194.
Introduction:
the Hermanos Cruz Polyclinic in the municipality of Pinar del Río, provides sto-matological care to the educational centers that converge in its Health Area, collecting a group of data that allow the identification of causes and risk factors that favor the incidence of dental caries in children under 19 years of age. This information is collected manually and processed in Excel spreadsheets, this process is cumbersome, requires time to analyze it and conclude on how to direct educational and pre-ventive intervention plans in a differentiated way, according to information obtained from the schoolchildren and their educational needs.
Objective:
to develop a computer system to support the population-based study of stomatology of schoolchildren attended by the Hermano Cruz Polyclinic, which contributes to the management of information and provides reports.
Methods:
a technological development type research was carried out, applying research methods at theoretical levels such as historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, induction-deduction and modeling; at empirical levels, documentary analysis and interview, statistics, as well as the Extreme Programmin development methodology and a group of in-formatics tools to achieve the functionalities of the main modules of the software.
Results:
it was possible to design and implement a computer tool that allowed managing the information related to the population study of stomatology in children under 19, generating reports and graphs that enrich the statistics that govern the implementation of educational and preventive strategies.
Conclusions:
the information provided by the application makes it possible to analyze the causes and risk factors in oral health.
