Primary care, Efficiency, Inflated beta regressionAbstract
This article aims to identify the factors that influence the efficiency of the municipalities of the state of Paraíba, regarding the management of health resources, more specifically, primary care. For this, we used the inflated beta regression model (0,1] to explain the efficiency in basic care in the municipalities of Paraíba. The results show that municipalities with larger populations, better conditions for basic sanitation and with a higher FIRJAN index of municipal health development, tend to be more efficient in the management of resources related to basic care. On the other hand, municipalities with greater number of medical consultations per health establishment tend to be less efficient. Full efficiency in the management of primary health care resources was shown to be closely related to FIRJAN index of municipal education developmentDownloads

Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
