Hospitalization of elderly people for conditions sensitive to primary health care in a city in the Triângulo Mineiro

This study aimed to analyze the profile of hospitalizations sensitive to primary care in the elderly according to age and sex. This is an ecological study with description of sensitive hospitalizations of elderly residents in the city of Uberaba - MG from 2009 to 2018. The proportion of hospitalizations for sensitive conditions compared to the total number of hospitalizations and the rates of sensitive hospitalizations were analyzed. For the other analyzes, the causes of hospitalization by age and sex were analyzed, and descriptive analyzes were carried out in terms of frequency and percentage. The proportion of sensitive hospitalizations decreased in the period between 2009 and 2016, with the most expressive groups of causes related to the cardiovascular system (heart failure, angina, and cerebrovascular diseases), elderly people aged 80 years and over and male. Ecological studies with public domain data are of fundamental importance in the analysis of the health conditions of the populations and in the direction of the health actions undertaken, especially those carried out by Primary Health Care (PHC).
