Internação hospitalar por transtornos mentais e comportamentais em adolescentes no Brasil, 2008-2017 / Hospitalization for mental and behavioral disorders in adolescents in Brazil, 2008-2017

Resumo Introdução Internações por transtornos mentais e comportamentais não são ocorrências raras em adolescentes. Estima-se que aproximadamente 30% dos adolescentes brasileiros sejam acometidos por transtornos mentais. Objetivo Analisar a evolução das internações por transtornos mentais e comportamentais em adolescentes brasileiros de 2008 a 2017. Método Estudo ecológico de séries temporais utilizando dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde e do IBGE. As variáveis utilizadas foram regiões de residência, sexo, faixa etária e grupos de diagnósticos. A tendência do coeficiente de internação foi analisada através da regressão de Prais-Winsten utilizando o Stata 14.0. Resultados Houve 152.465 internações no período; o coeficiente de internação hospitalar reduziu na região Nordeste de 27,75 a 23,16 por 100 mil habitantes (Coef = -0,0070; -1,6%), aumentou de 13,70 a 21,61 por 100 mil habitantes no Norte (Coef = 0,0192; 4,5%) e nas regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro-oeste houve tendência estável. Verificou-se tendência crescente de internações entre as mulheres (Coef = 0,0136; 3,2%), e por transtornos do humor [afetivos] (0,0266; 6,33%) e outros transtornos mentais e comportamentais (0,0295; 7,03%). Conclusão Estudos epidemiológicos como este ajudam a fornecer informações úteis para o planejamento de serviços de prevenção e tratamento primário, secundário e terciário voltados à saúde mental, especialmente entre crianças e adolescentes.

Abstract Background Hospitalizations for mental and behavioral disorders are not rare occurrences in adolescents. It is estimated that approximately 30% of Brazilian adolescents are affected by mental disorders. Objective To analyze the evolution of hospitalizations for mental and behavioral disorders in Brazilian adolescents from 2008 to 2017. Method Ecological study of time series using data from the hospital information system collected of the Unified Health System (SUS) and IBGE was carried out. The variables used were regions of residence, gender, age group, and groups of diagnoses. The trend of the hospitalization coefficient was analyzed using the Prais-Winsten regression, by Stata 14.0. Results There were 152,465 hospitalizations in the period; the hospitalization coefficient decreased in the Northeast region from 27.75 to 23.16 per 100 thousand inhabitants (Coef. = -0.0070; -1.6%), increased from 13.70 to 21.61 per 100 thousand inhabitants in the North (Coef. = 0.0192; 4.5%) and in the South, Southeast and Midwest regions, had a stable trend. There was an increasing trend of hospitalizations among women (Coef. = 0.0136; 3.2%) and concerning affective mood disorders (0.0266; 6.33%), besides other mental and behavioral disorders (0.00295; 7.0 3%). Conclusion Epidemiological studies such as this service provide useful information for planning primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, and treatment services aimed at mental health, especially among children and adolescents.

Characteristics of primary care and rates of pediatric hospitalizations in Brazil

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association among characteristics of primary health care center (PHCC) with hospitalizations for primary care sensitive conditions (PCSC) in Brazil. METHOD In this study, a cross-sectional ecological study was performed. This study analyzed the 27 capitals of Brazil's federative units. Data were aggregated from the following open access databases: National Program for Access and Quality Improvement in Primary Care, the Hospital Information System of Brazilian Unified Health System and Annual Population Census conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Associations were estimated among characteristics of primary care with the number of three PCSC as the leading causes of hospitalization in children under-5 population in Brazil: asthma, diarrhea, and pneumonia. RESULTS In general, PHCC showed limited structural adequacy (37.3%) for pediatric care in Brazil. The capitals in South and Southeast regions had the best structure whereas the North and Northeast had the worst. Fewer PCSC hospitalizations were significantly associated with PHCC which presented appropriate equipment (RR: 0.98; 95%CI: 0.97-0.99), structural conditions (RR: 0.98; 95%CI: 0.97-0.99), and signage/identification of professionals and facilities (RR: 0.98; 95%CI: 0.97-0.99). Higher PCSC hospitalizations were significantly associated with PHCC with more physicians (RR: 1.23, 95%CI: 1.02-1.48), it forms (RR: 1.01, 95%CI: 1.01-1.02), and more medications (RR: 1.02, 95%CI: 1.01-1.03) CONCLUSION Infrastructural adequacy of PHCC was associated with less PCSC hospitalizations, while availability medical professional and medications were associated with higher PCSC hospitalizations.
