To analyze the historical results of characterizing the adultpopulation on admission to the insurance company in relation to the demand for all-cause and psychiatric hospitalization services. Materials and
Variables significantly associated with having an all-cause hospitalization were identified having referred history of heart disease OR=1.71(95%CI 1.33; 2.20), respiratory disease OR= 1. 30(95%CI 1.04; 1.61), chronic kidney disease OR=1.66(95%CI 1.13; 2.45), cancer OR=1.65(95%CI 1.14; 2.40), taking any medication permanently OR=1.35(95%CI 1.174; 1.56) and smoking OR=1.44(95%CI 1.12; 1.85). For psychiatric hospitalizations, a history of discouragement, depression, or little hope was relevant with OR=5.12(95%CI 1.89; 13.87).
