Abstract:

It was to aimed to evaluate the influence of breastfeeding and other factors on the incidence of hospital admissions as well as the frequency and main causes of hospitalization in children under two years in the state of Pernambuco. Descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study using secondary data obtained from the II and III State Health and Nutrition Surveys (PESN) carried out in the years of 1997 and 2006, respectively. Totaling a sample of 1503 under two years old. We used the Pearson’s Chi-squared test to analyze bivariate associations and the Fisher‘s exact for comparison of hospitalization risk in the two years of observation and Poisson regression for the adjustment of multivariate model of hospitalization conditions in the last survey. In the two years analyzed, there was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of hospitalizations of children. The lower risk of hospitalization remained for those who were breastfed exclusively. Regarding to environmental, socioeconomic, demographic characteristics and health assistance, several factors have evolved favorably in the period assessed. In the final model, only the weight / length ratio (low weight category) remained associated with risk of hospitalization in children under two years factors.
