Abstract:

Hospitalizations due ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) represent an important indicator of health care. The aim of this study was to analyze the temporal trend of hospitalizations due to ACSC rates in children under 1 year-old, in Brazil, considering the neonatal and post-neonatal periods. The hospitalizations due ACSC rates were calculated for infants under 1 year of age and in the neonatal and post-neonatal subgroups. The Prais-Winsten generalized linear analysis model and the Annual Percent Change (APC) calculation were used to evaluate the time trend. The results showed that infectious gastroenteritis (39.2%) represented the most important cause of hospitalizations due ACSC in children under 1 year. In neonates, congenital syphilis and other congenital infections accounted for the highest proportion of hospitalizations (29.5%), as in post-neonates, gastroenteritis had a greater magnitude (41.1%). There was an increase in neonatal hospitalization rates (APC = 6.4%, 95% CI: 3.1; 9.7) and a decrease in rates in both the post-neonatal group (APC = -8.9%, 95% : -12.5; -5.2) and in the group of children under 1 year (APC = -7.4%, 95% CI: -10.9, -3.8). Differences in trends in these hospitalization rates may reflect the influence of specific determinants on the risk of hospitalization in each of the age subcomponents.
