Abstract

The purpose here established was that of establishing, within the municipalities in the southern part of the Brazilian State of Rio Grande do Sul, the profile of admittances to hospital resulting from Non-Contagious Chronic Diseases Sensitive to Primary Health Care (NCCDSPHC) among chronologically advantaged patients. This is a transversal study with secondary data obtained from the Information Technology Department of the Brazilian Public Health System--SUS (DATASUS), including variables related to admittance to hospital and also the mortality rates in hospitals (according to causes, gender, age, and time spent in hospital). The NCCDSPHC are responsible for 43.99% of hospital admittances for all causes (AAC), with Pulmonary Diseases standing out as the most prevalent single group (18%), followed by Heart Failure (12.28%). The female sex, with the exception of the Pulmonary Disease category, is the one that causes most admittances to hospital through other causes. We also found a linear trend towards an increase in the mortality rate of the NCCDSPHC when grouped together Our conclusion is that, due to the magnitude of the admittances to hospital, as also the increase in the mortality caused by the NCCDSPHC, it is urgent to emba...Continue Reading
