ABSTRACT
Resumo Objetivou-se identificar a tendência das internações por Diabetes Mellitus e a correlação com a cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) no Estado do Paraná, segundo Regionais de Saúde (RS), entre 2000 e 2012. Estudo ecológico de dados secundários do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde e do Departamento da Atenção Básica. Verificou-se tendência decrescente para as taxas de internação geral (de 10,2 para 9,0/10.000 habitantes), porém, tendência crescente para algumas RS. Observou-se correlação entre as taxas de internação e a cobertura da ESF para o estado; correlação forte e inversa para as RS de Paranaguá, Metropolitana, Foz do Iguaçu e Umuarama; e correlação forte e direta para as RS de Pato Branco, Campo Mourão, Cianorte, Telêmaco Borba e Ivaiporã. No geral, as internações por Diabetes Mellitus mostraram-se decrescentes e sem correlação com a cobertura da ESF, porém, observaram-se diferenças conforme as RS.
Abstract The aim of this study was to identify trends in hospitalization for diabetes mellitus and their correlation with the Family Health Strategy (FHS) coverage in the state of Paraná, by Health District (HD), between 2000 and 2012. It is an ecological study based on secondary data from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System and the Primary Care Department. There was downward trend for general admission rates (from 10.2 to 9.0/10,000 inhabitants), but upward trend for some HDs. No correlation was observed between admission rates and the FHS coverage for the state. However, there was strong inverse correlation for Paranaguá, Metropolitan, Foz do Iguaçu and Umuarama HDs, and strong and direct correlation for Pato Branco, Campo Mourão, Cianorte, Telêmaco Borba and Ivaiporã HDs. Overall, hospitalizations for diabetes mellitus proved to be decreasing and without correlation with FHS coverage; however, there were differences according to HDs.

Three distinct groups of people, the sick, at risk and a healthy population constitute the benefi ciaries of any health services. Available health care packages are based on the paradigm of the “natural history of the disease and the fi ve levels of the prevention.” Patient-centric “personal care services” and community centric “public health care” are the two packages universally provided to a community. A health care system can only be effective and effi cient if there is balanced mix of the personal and public health care delivered as a comprehensive package in a regionalized graded manner by a well-trained manpower. The current health care delivery system is mostly personal care centered and public health component is in the fringes and being delivered as vertical programs through the multipurpose health worker. The alternative model speaks about bi-furcating the two types of services and delivering both as a comprehensive package to the community. As per the constitution of India health services including major public health services are state subject but the nature of emerging public health problems relates to mass movement of people and goods, environmental changes due industry and other developmental activities etc. resulting in the spread of the same beyond the manmade geographical boundary, some public health activity may be included in the union/concurrent list. To deliver the packages a public health cadre may be created at the state and center and be equipped with public health knowledge and skill to deliver well-defi ned evidence-based service package to control the existing problem and keep strict vigilance to prevent entry/emergence of new health problems.
