Resumo Objetivo analisar, na perspectiva da Integralidade, as internações de adolescentes por condições sensíveis à Atenção Primária em uma Regional de Saúde do Paraná. Método estudo de abordagem quantitativa, retrospectivo, realizado no período de janeiro a julho de 2018. Foram coletados dados públicos de internações de adolescentes de 10 a 19 anos disponíveis na base de dados do sistema de informações hospitalares do Ministério da Saúde, com Tabulador Oficial versão Tabwin 3.2. A análise dos dados ocorreu por estatística descritiva segundo número absoluto e frequência por ano investigado. Resultados das 82.016 internações, 9.029 (11,00%) foram por condições sensíveis à atenção primária. Entre as principais causas, destacam-se a infecção do rim e trato urinário (24,96%); epilepsias (19,27%); gastroenterites infecciosas e complicações (11,91%); doenças relacionadas ao pré-natal e parto (8,88%) e asma (7,39%). As internações do sexo feminino representaram 57,52%, prevalentes no subgrupo da faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos (66,64%). Conclusão e implicações para a prática é necessário avançar na perspectiva da construção da integralidade na atenção à saúde do adolescente, para responder às necessidades em saúde deste segmento populacional e reduzir hospitalizações por causas sensíveis à atenção primária.

Abstract Objective to analyze, from the perspective of integrality, the hospitalizations of adolescents due to conditions sensitive to primary care in a Regional Health unit in Paraná State. Method a quantitative retrospective study was carried out from January to July 2018. Public data were collected from hospitalizations of adolescents aged 10 to 19 years available in the database of the hospital information system of the Ministry of Health using the Official Tabulator (Tabwin, version 3.2). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics according to the absolute number and frequency per year investigated. Results out of the 82,016 admissions, 9,029 (11.00%) were due to conditions sensitive to primary care. Among the main causes, infection of the kidney and urinary tract (24.96%), epilepsies (19.27%), infectious gastroenteritis, and complications (11.91%) stood out, which are diseases related to prenatal care and childbirth (8.88%) and asthma (7.39%). Female hospitalizations accounted for 57.52%, prevalent in the 15- to 19-year-old subgroup (66.64%). Conclusion and implications for practice it is necessary to advance in the construction of integrality in adolescent health care to respond to the health needs of this population segment and reduce hospitalizations for causes sensitive to primary care.

The Child Opportunity Index 2.0 and Hospitalizations for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) are thought to be avoidable with high-quality outpatient care. Morbidity related to ACSCs has been associated with socioeconomic contextual factors, which do not necessarily capture the complex pathways through which a child's environment impacts health outcomes. Our primary objective was to test the association between a multidimensional measure of neighborhood-level child opportunity and pediatric hospitalization rates for ACSCs across 2 metropolitan areas. METHODS: This was a retrospective population-based analysis of ACSC hospitalizations within the Kansas City and Cincinnati metropolitan areas from 2013 to 2018. Census tracts were included if located in a county where Children's Mercy Kansas City or Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center had >80% market share of hospitalizations for children <18 years. Our predictor was child opportunity as defined by a composite index, the Child Opportunity Index 2.0. Our outcome was hospitalization rates for 8 ACSCs. RESULTS: We included 604 943 children within 628 census tracts. There were 26 977 total ACSC hospitalizations (46 hospitalizations per 1000 children; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 45.4-46.5). The hospitalization rate for all ACSCs revealed a stepwise reduction from 79.9 per 1000 children (95% CI: 78.1-81.7) in very low opportunity tracts to 31.2 per 1000 children (95% CI: 30.5-32.0) in very high opportunity tracts (P < .001). This trend was observed across cities and diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS: Links between ACSC hospitalizations and child opportunity extend across metropolitan areas. Targeting interventions to lower-opportunity neighborhoods and enacting policies that equitably bolster opportunity may improve child health outcomes, reduce inequities, and decrease health care costs.
