ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES To investigate the impact of complex chronic conditions on the use of healthcare resources and hospitalization costs in a pediatric ward of a public tertiary referral university hospital in Brazil. METHODS This is a longitudinal study with retrospective data collection. Overall, three one-year periods, separated by five-year intervals (2006, 2011, and 2016), were evaluated. Hospital costs were calculated in three systematic samples of 100 patients each, consisting of patients with and without complex chronic conditions in proportion to their participation in the studied year. RESULTS Over the studied period, the hospital received 2,372 admissions from 2,172 patients. The proportion of hospitalized patients with complex chronic conditions increased from 13.3% in 2006 to 16.9% in 2016 as a result of a greater proportion of neurologically impaired children, which rose from 6.6% to 11.6% of the total number of patients in the same period. Patients' complexity also progressively increased, which greatly impacted the use of healthcare resources and costs, increasing by 11.6% from 2006 (R$1,300,879.20) to 2011 (R$1,452,359.71) and 9.4% from 2011 to 2016 (R$1,589,457.95). CONCLUSIONS Hospitalizations of pediatric patients with complex chronic conditions increased from 2006 to 2016 in a Brazilian tertiary referral university hospital, associated with an important impact on hospital costs. Policies to reduce these costs in Brazil are greatly needed.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Brazil has approximately 30.000 cases of Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF) annually. A third of cardiovascular surgeries performed in the country are due to the sequelae of rheumatic heart disease (RHD), which is an important public health problem. Objectives: to analyze the historical series of mortality rates and disease costs, projecting future trends to offer new data that may justify the need to implement a public health program for RF. Methods: we performed a cross-sectional study with a time series analysis based on data from the Hospital Information System of Brazil from 1998 to 2016. Simple linear regression models and Holt's Exponential Smoothing Method were used to model the behavior of the series and to do forecasts. The results of the tests with a value of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: each year, the number of deaths due to RHD increased by an average of 16.94 units and the mortality rate from ARF increased by 215%. There was a 264% increase in hospitalization expenses for RHD and RHD mortality rates increased 42.5% (p-value < 0.05). The estimated mortality rates for ARF and RHD were, respectively, 2.68 and 8.53 for 2019. The estimated cost for RHD in 2019 was US$ 26.715.897,70. Conclusions: according to the Brazilian reality, the 1-year RHD expenses would be sufficient for secondary prophylaxis (considering a Benzatin Penicillin G dose every 3 weeks) in 22.574 people for 10 years. This study corroborates the need for public health policies aimed at RHD.


Resumo Fundamento: O Brasil tem aproximadamente 30.000 casos de febre reumática aguda (FRA) por ano. Um terço das cirurgias cardiovasculares realizadas no país se deve às sequelas da doença reumática cardíaca (DRC), a qual é um importante problema de saúde pública. Objetivos: Analisar as séries históricas de taxas de mortalidade e custos das doenças, projetando tendências futuras para oferecer novos dados que possam justificar a necessidade de implementação de um programa de saúde pública para FR. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal com análise de séries temporais a partir de dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Brasil, de 1998 a 2016. Modelos de regressão linear simples e o método de suavização exponencial de Holt foram utilizados para modelar o comportamento das séries e fazer previsões. Os resultados dos testes com um valor de p <0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significantes. Resultados: A cada ano, o número de mortes por DRC aumentou em média 16,94 unidades, e a taxa de mortalidade por FRA aumentou em 215%. Houve um aumento de 264% nas despesas de hospitalização por DRC, e as taxas de mortalidade por DRC aumentaram 42,5% (p-valor < 0,05). As taxas de mortalidade estimadas para FRA e DRC foram, respectivamente, 2,68 e 8,53 para 2019. O custo estimado para a DRC em 2019 foi de US$ 26.715.897,70. Conclusões: De acordo com a realidade brasileira, o gasto relativo a 1 ano de DRC seria suficiente para a profilaxia secundária (considerando uma dose de penicilina G benzatina a cada 3 semanas) em 22.574 pessoas por 10 anos. Este estudo corrobora a necessidade de políticas públicas de saúde direcionadas à DRC.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the physical inactivity-related inpatient costs of chronic non-communicable diseases. METHODS This study used data from 2013, from Brazilian Unified Health System, regarding inpatient numbers and costs due to malignant colon and breast neoplasms, cerebrovascular diseases, ischemic heart diseases, hypertension, diabetes, and osteoporosis. In order to calculate the share physical inactivity represents in that, the physical inactivity-related risks, which apply to each disease, were considered, and physical inactivity prevalence during leisure activities was obtained from Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio (Brazil's National Household Sample Survey). The analysis was stratified by genders and residing country regions of subjects who were 40 years or older. The physical inactivity-related hospitalization cost regarding each cause was multiplied by the respective share it regarded to. RESULTS In 2013, 974,641 patients were admitted due to seven different causes in Brazil, which represented a high cost. South region was found to have the highest patient admission rate in most studied causes. The highest prevalences for physical inactivity were observed in North and Northeast regions. The highest inactivity-related share in men was found for osteoporosis in all regions (≈ 35.0%), whereas diabetes was found to have a higher share regarding inactivity in women (33.0% to 37.0% variation in the regions). Ischemic heart diseases accounted for the highest total costs that could be linked to physical inactivity in all regions and for both genders, being followed by cerebrovascular diseases. Approximately 15.0% of inpatient costs from Brazilian Unified Health System were connected to physical inactivity. CONCLUSIONS Physical inactivity significantly impacts the number of patient admissions due to the evaluated causes and through their resulting costs, with different genders and country regions representing different shares.


OBJETIVO Avaliar o custo de internações por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis atribuível à inatividade física. MÉTODOS Este estudo utilizou dados de 2013, do Sistema Único de Saúde, referentes ao número e respectivo custo das internações por neoplasia maligna de cólon e mama, doenças cerebrovasculares, doenças isquêmicas do coração, hipertensão, diabetes e osteoporose. Para o cálculo da fração atribuível à inatividade física foram considerados os riscos relativos da inatividade física a cada doença e a prevalência de inatividade física no lazer foi obtida da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio. A análise foi estratificada por sexo e região do País de indivíduos com idade igual ou superior a 40 anos. O custo das internações de cada causa atribuível à inatividade física foi multiplicado pela respectiva fração a ela atribuível. RESULTADOS Foram realizadas 974.641 internações hospitalares por sete causas de internações no Brasil, em 2013, o que representou custo alto. A região Sul apresentou a maior taxa de internação na maioria das causas estudadas. A maior prevalência de inatividade física ocorreu nas regiões Norte e Nordeste. A maior fração atribuível à inatividade em homens foi encontrada para a osteoporose em todas as regiões (≈ 35,0%), enquanto o diabetes apresentou maior fração atribuível à inatividade em mulheres (variação de 33,0% a 37,0% nas regiões). As doenças isquêmicas do coração foram responsáveis pelos mais altos custos totais e atribuíveis à inatividade física em todas as regiões e em ambos os sexos, seguidas das doenças cerebrovasculares. Aproximadamente 15,0% dos custos ao Sistema Único de Saúde das internações foi atribuível à inatividade física. CONCLUSÕES A inatividade física impacta significativamente o número de internações hospitalares pelas causas avaliadas e nos custos resultantes, com diferenças na ocorrência dependendo do sexo e região do País.
