dc.description.abstractThis study aims to analyze the relationships between various health indicators, using an exploratory graph analysis, repeated measures correlation, and cluster construction. Primary healthcare is essential for providing continuous and comprehensive care, with indicators as crucial tools to identify and improve weaknesses in health units. Data from 41 health units in Baixo Vouga, Portugal, from January 2017 to March 2024, were analyzed. Through the database, the behavior of the indicators and health units over time was identified, along with the strongest positive and negative correlations between the indicators and their graphical illustration. Finally, through clusters, the grouping of indicators and health units was achieved. Thus, this study provides healthcare professionals with important insights for the management and continuous improvement of health units.eng
