Abstract:

Longitudinal monitoring of indicators, such as those related to accidental falls, can facilitate the planning of more effective care and prevention actions. Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of variables related to accidents due to falls in the elderly population in Brazil and in the state of São Paulo between 2000 and 2020 and to estimate the economic impact for the SUS in 2025. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study with a quantitative approach, with datathe Health Information System. The Joinpoint Regression Program version 4.7.0 and SPSS version 20.0 software were used to perform linear regressions, in addition to the Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) analysis, adopting a 95% confidence interval. Results: In the country, there was an increase in hospitalizations in the two analyzed periods, as well as total expenses, in all analyzed segments. In agreement with the state of São Paulo, the total value and hospitalizations increased (AAPC, being 8.5% and 4.3% respectively). In the year 2025, hospitalizations due to falls in Brazil will be close to 150,000, generating costs of around R$260 million. Conclusion: There was an increase in the analyzed variables, showing the importance of fall prevention programs associated with national public policies.
