Abstract
Objective: To characterize the sociodemographic and clinical profile of individuals enrolled in the Home Oxygen Therapy Program in Alfenas, Minas Gerais. Method: This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted in the municipality of Alfenas, Minas Gerais. The sample consisted of 144 individuals registered in the Home Oxygen Therapy Program, residing in the urban area of the city, with no age restrictions. Data collection included sociodemographic, clinical, lifestyle, and behavioral characteristics, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Result: The majority of participants were female (61.8%), with a mean age of 69 years. More than half (54.2%) did not have caregivers, 64.6% did not engage in regular physical activity, 48.6% reported being non-smokers, and 63.9% denied alcohol consumption. The most prevalent diagnoses were Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (33.0%) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (28.6%), with Systemic Arterial Hypertension as the most common associated comorbidity (48.3%). Intermittent oxygen therapy was used by 86.1% of participants, with the nasal cannula and CPAP being the primary interfaces, each used by 39.6% of individuals. Conclusion: Although this study provides a local perspective, its findings contribute valuable insights for the care pathway of individuals requiring home ventilatory support in the state of Minas Gerais.
