Abstract

Introduction: ENT pathologies are highly prevalent in the world and few studies have been carried out in Colombia regarding this topic. Through the integrated social protection system (SISPRO by its acronym in Spanish) and the codes of Individual Registries for the Provision of Health Services (RIPS by its acronym in Spanish) it is possible to have standardized information for decision-making in the health sector. Objective: The purpose of this study was to carry out a descriptive analysis of the main demographic characteristics of the population with the main ENT pathologies in Colombia. Results: It was found that allergic rhinitis and vertiginous pathologies correspond to the main causes of consultation in this country and infectious pathologies occupy an important role in the population under 5 years of age. Additionally, the vast majority of the prevalent pathologies in Colombia can be managed in first-level institutions or primary care.


Conclusions: It is important to know the prevalence of the main ENT pathologies in Colombia so we can implement campaigns that disseminate their diagnosis and treatment among general practitioners, family doctors and pediatricians in order to have adequate national coverage.
