Abstract:

This study analyzed the trend and expenditures of Hospitalization for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions, (ACSC, or ICSAP in Portuguese) on children. It was an ecological time series study, including hospitalizations of children under five years in Bahia, from 2000 to 2012. The annual rates of ICSAP were calculated, as well as the total and the average expenditures with such hospitalizations. For temporal trends analysis linear regression models were built. It has been reported 810,831 hospitalizations for ICSAP. Hospitalization rates dropped 24.7% in the studied period, falling from 44.6 to 33.6 per 1,000 children. The total expenditure on such admissions was estimated at 155.8 million reais. There was a reduction of 50.4% in total expenditure by comparing the first to the last year of the series. The linear regression analysis showed reduction trend of ICSAP (β = -1.20, p = 0.014), average expenditure (β = -3.45, p <0.01) and total expenditure (β = -0,46, p <0.01). Despite the fall of these indicators, there is still high rates for ICSAP, which produces a large impact on the volume of resources spent on avoidable hospitalization. In this sense, decrease ICSAP is important both to improve population health and to reduce hospital costs.
