Abstract
Objective: To analyze temporal trends in the incidence and spatial distribution of spider bites in Santa Catarina. Methods: This was a mixed ecological study, with a descriptive approach involving multiple groups and a temporal trend analysis, of spider bite notifications recorded in the Information System for Notifiable Diseases from 1 Jan 2011 to 31 Dec 2021. Result: There were 62,671 reported cases, corresponding to an average annual rate of 83.27 per 100,000 population. The linear regression indicated an annual decline rate of 2.94 per 100,000 population. Conclusion: There was a high incidence of spider bites, higher than the national average, with a declining trend during the study period. The occurrences were concentrated in the Western and Northern regions of the state, in urban areas. Most victims were young adults. The lethality and mortality rates were low, and most patients had favorable outcomes.
