Abstract:

Objective: to identify the factors associated with the costs of hospital admissions for Conditions Sensitive to Primary Care (CSPC) in SUS. This is a cross-sectional, analytical study, with random samples of hospitalizations in the SUS, over two years. The distribution of costs and the duration of 414 hospitalizations were evaluated according to sex, age group and CSPC. The high cost had a prevalence of 37.8% and was associated with age over 40 years, unmarried, income below 1.5 minimum wages, hospitalization greater than 7 days and admission to the ICU. The average period of hospitalizations was 9.35 days and the average cost was R$ 3606.09. The youth\'s hospitalization had a cost/day of R$ 207.08, while the elderly had a cost/day of R$ 399.53. Men had a higher prevalence of hospitalizations and were responsible for the higher average cost of hospitalization. Cardiac, pulmonary and cerebrovascular diseases were prevalent, and cardiac diseases were responsible for the highest cost of hospitalization. These results point to the urgent need to strengthen Primary Health Care, with constant monitoring of these diseases, since the available resources should be sufficient to treat them, without the need for hospitalization and unnecessary expenses.
