TIME SERIES OF HOSPITALIZATIONS FOR CONDITIONS SENSITIVE TO PRIMARY CARE (ACSC), IN A MUNICIPALITY IN THE SOUTH OF MINAS GERAIS

Abstract

This is a time series study with the objective of analyzing the ICSAP and possible interventions over time, in a municipality in the south of Minas Gerais, from 2012 to 2022, using data from the Hospital Information System (SIH) and of the Hospitalization Regulation System (SUS Fácil). There were 10,344 hospitalizations reported, 3,682 (35.59%) ICSAP, 1,966 (53.39%) female and 2,219 (60.27%) over 60 years old, 3.94% of ICSAP ended in death. The mean length of stay in hospital was 3.62 days. A linear trend was observed, with a negative slope for the number of general admissions. Regarding the ICSAP, there was a temporal dependence of two months, as for the number of deaths by ICSAP, no temporal dependence was identified, but a small negative slope. There was an increase in the number of Family Health teams (eSF) and in the number of consultations and procedures at this level of care, which may have had a relevant impact. COVID-19 did not have a negative effect on the results, as hospitalizations tended to fall. ICSAP are still expressive, demonstrating gaps. However, it raises the importance of strengthening and making the PHC resolute, as a way to promote health and protect the population.
