ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE Develop an index to evaluate the maternal and neonatal hospital care of the Brazilian Unified Health System. METHODS This descriptive cross-sectional study of national scope was based on the structure-process-outcome framework proposed by Donabedian and on comprehensive health care. Data from the Hospital Information System and the National Registry of Health Establishments were used. The maternal and neonatal network of Brazilian Unified Health System consisted of 3,400 hospitals that performed at least 12 deliveries in 2009 or whose number of deliveries represented 10.0% or more of the total admissions in 2009. Relevance and reliability were defined as criteria for the selection of variables. Simple and composite indicators and the index of completeness were constructed and evaluated, and the distribution of maternal and neonatal hospital care was assessed in different regions of the country. RESULTS A total of 40 variables were selected, from which 27 single indicators, five composite indicators, and the index of completeness of care were built. Composite indicators were constructed by grouping simple indicators and included the following variables hospital size, level of complexity, delivery care practice, recommended hospital practice, and epidemiological practice. The index of completeness of care grouped the five variables and classified them in ascending order, thereby yielding five levels of completeness of maternal and neonatal hospital care very low, low, intermediate, high, and very high. The hospital network was predominantly of small size and low complexity, with inadequate child delivery care and poor development of recommended and epidemiological practices. The index showed that more than 80.0% hospitals had a low index of completeness of care and that most qualified heath care services were concentrated in the more developed regions of the country. CONCLUSIONS The index of completeness proved to ...
RESUMO
OBJETIVO Desenvolver índice para avaliar a assistência hospitalar materna e neonatal do Sistema Único de Saúde. MÉTODOS Estudo descritivo de corte transversal, com abrangência nacional, com base na tríade estrutura-processo-resultado proposta por Donabedian e na integralidade da assistência. Utilizaram-se dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares e do Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde. Conformaram a rede materna e neonatal do SUS, 3.400 hospitais que realizaram pelo menos 12 partos/2009, ou cujo número de partos realizados representassem 10,0% ou mais no total de internações/2009. Relevância e confiabilidade foram definidas como critérios para seleção das variáveis a serem utilizadas. Foi realizada a construção e valoração dos indicadores simples, compostos e do índice de completude, e distribuição da rede hospitalar materna e neonatal nas regiões do País. RESULTADOS Selecionaram-se 40 variáveis a partir das quais foram construídos 27 indicadores simples, cinco indicadores compostos e o índice de completude. Os indicadores compostos foram construídos a partir da agregação dos indicadores simples, conformando as dimensões porte hospitalar, complexidade, prática assistencial ao parto, práticas hospitalares recomendáveis e práticas epidemiológicas. O índice de completude agregou as cinco dimensões, fracionado em ordem crescente, originando cinco níveis de completude da assistência hospitalar materna e neonatal baixíssima, baixa, intermediária, alta e altíssima. A rede hospitalar foi predominantemente de pequeno porte, baixa complexidade, com desempenho inadequado das práticas assistenciais ao parto e com baixo desenvolvimento das práticas recomendáveis e epidemiológicas. ...
