OLIVEIRA, Elton Filipe Pinheiro de; MELO NETO, Antônio Quaresma de; RODRIGUES, Malvina Thais Pacheco MASCARENHAS, Márcio Dênis Medeiros. Hospitalizations due to arterial hypertension and Family Health Strategy coverage: Brazil, 2010 to 2019. []. , serVI, 1, e21085. 25--2022. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rv21085.
Background:
Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) that can lead to hospitalization. In Brazil, SAH-related hospitalizations fall within the Family Health Strategy (FHS) scope, whose work deals with chronic conditions such as SAH.
Objectives:
To analyze the trend of hospitalization rates and examine the relationship between hospitalization rates and the FHS coverage in Brazil from 2010 to 2019.
Methodology:
This is an ecological time-series study, with data from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian National Unified Health System (SIH-SUS), from 2010 to 2019. The Prais-Winsten regression and the Pearson correlation were used.
Results:
A total of 793,198 hospitalizations were recorded during the period analyzed. The hospitalization rate declined from 58.7 to 29.6/100,000 residents, with an annual variation of -16.3% (CI95% -21.8; -10.9).
Conclusion:
The correlation between hospitalization rates and the FHS coverage was high and inversely proportional (-0.98). The hospitalization rates followed a downward trend, possibly reflecting the improvement of care and access to FHS services.
