Ecological study using secondary data. Data analysis was performed with the software Stata 11.1® from StataCorp LLC (Texas/USA) using Poisson regression with robust variance and Spearman correlation. A 95% confidence interval was adopted and significance level was set at 5%.Results:
The variables hospitalization rates and mean length of hospital stay did not vary significantly. There was no variation when data were stratified by sex.
