Las personas trans tienen peor estado de salud. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido valorar la adecuación del SIS para recoger las necesidades de salud de las personas trans. Se revisaron las fuentes de información del SIS disponibles en el Portal Estadístico del Sistema Nacional de Salud con datos sobre la población. Se buscaron las variables «sexo» e «identidad de género». Se incluyeron 19 fuentes. En todas estaba la variable «sexo» y en ninguna la variable «identidad de género». En dos, la variable «sexo» permitía valores de «transexual». El SIS contiene escasa información respecto a la identidad de género. Esto conduce a la invisibilidad de las personas trans en las estadísticas de salud. La obtención de esta información permitiría conocer las barreras de acceso y las necesidades de salud de uno de los colectivos más discriminados de nuestra sociedad.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The Spanish Health Information System (HIS) collects health information. Trans people have poorer health status. This paper aimed to assess the adequacy of the HIS to collect the health data on trans individuals. The HIS sources available in the Statistical Portal of the National Health System were reviewed. The sources containing population health data were selected. The variables &#8220;sex&#8221; and &#8220;gender identity&#8221; were searched. Nineteen sources were identified. In all of them the variable &#8220;sex&#8221; was found, whereas &#8220;gender identify&#8221; did not appear in any of the 19. In two sources, the variable &#8220;sex&#8221; allowed values of &#8220;transsexual&#8221;. The SIS contains little information regarding gender identity. This leads to the invisibility of trans people in Spanish health statistics. Obtaining this information would allow for a better understanding of the barriers to health care access, and the health needs of one of the most discriminated groups in our society.]]></p></abstract>
