Abstract:

Objectives: To describe the characteristics of hospitalizations for primary care sensitive conditions (HPCSC) in the municipality of Pelotas regarding occurrence by sex, age group and main causes in the period2000 to 2021. Additionally, a trend analysis of the HPCSC in the municipality was carried out, comparing it with the rest of Rio Grande do Sul, its association with public expenditure per capita on health and with the population coverage of FHS. Methods: Ecological study using the primary care sensitive conditions listthe Ministry of Health available in the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System. Information on health expenditure was obtainedthe Public Health Budget Information System. FHS coverage was available at the Primary Care Department. The coefficients were standardized by the direct method. For the trend analysis we used the Prais Winsten regression. Results: A decrease in HPCSC was found in Pelotas and in the rest of the state. HPCSC were more frequent in people aged 60 years or older. The main cause of hospitalization was heart failure. In Pelotas, ESF coverage and health expenditure were associated with HPCSC. Conclusion: Despite the measures applied2017, policies implemented previously, the increase in health spending and the expansion of coverage may have influenced the decrease in HPCSC.
