Abstract

The Hospital Information System of SUS (Unified Health System) makes observing the occurrence of about 80% of hospitalizations in the country possible. Hospital admissions are indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of basic health care. Hospitalizations for Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (CNCD) could be prevented by timely assistance in the Family Health Strategy (FHS). The objective was to identify the profile (sex and age) of patients who needed to be hospitalized for Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases, and the actions of health promotion and prevention of diseases used to reduce morbidity and mortality in this population accompanied in a primary care unit. This was a crosssectional study with secondary data from the Primary Health Care Information System, encompassing variables related to hospitalizations. The hospitalizations for CNCDs accounted for 37.1% of all hospitalizations in 2015. The highest proportion of hospitalizations occurred in males (49.5%) and in the age groups 38-47 (10.4%) and 48 -57 (9.8%) in all analyzed months; among the causes were Hypertension (59.4%), Diabetes Mellitus (18.8%), pulmonary diseases (10.9%) and cancer (10.9%). Promotion and prevention measures are effective in monitoring risk factors for CNCDs, since they need long-term care; and understanding the capabilities and deficiencies of the complex network of health care is something that is necessary, making the qualifying, organizing and joining these services possible in order to positively impact health outcomes.
