Abstract:

Pneumonia is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood, mainly in developing countries, especially in vulnerable groups. The aim of this study was to analyze associated factors the pneumonia in Yanomami children hospitalized for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSC). Hospitalizations were divided into two groups: i) pneumonia and ii) other causes, according to the Brazilian list of ACSC. Hospitalizations adjusted rates were estimated. Factors associated with pneumonia were performed using unconditional logistic regression. Over 90% of the records were considered ACSC. The adjusted rate of ACSC was 18.6/1000. The odds ratio of hospitalization for pneumonia were 2.7 (CI: 1.3-5.4) times higher in children from 0.1 to 5.9 months; 1.9 (CI: 1.1-3.3) times higher in children who had the duration of hospitalization with 8-14 days; and 3.0 (CI: 1.2-7.5) times higher in children with malnutrition as secondary diagnosis. Excess of avoidable hospitalizations is a strong sign of the low quality of actions and limited accessibility to primary care in indigenous territories, contrary assistance model proposed by the indigenous healthcare subsystem in Brazil which, should focus in assists technologies inspired in primary care.
