Abstract

Introduction: the Brazilian List of Hospitalizations for Conditions Sensitive to Primary Care (CSAP) is used as an instrument to evaluate the resolving power of primary care and hospital care. The ICSAP found a high prevalence in the elderly population, occupying a large part of the hospital beds. Objective: To analyze the temporal evolution of hospitalizations due to conditions sensitive to primary care (ICSAP) in elderly residents in the region of the Association of Municipalities of Midwest Santa Catarina (AMMOC). Methods: Exploratory and descriptive analysis with a quantitative approach of all hospitalizations of the elderly by CSAP occurred and made available from the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH-SUS) database from 2008 to 2015 in the AMMOC region. Results: The main ICSAP were pulmonary diseases (1,740), heart failure (1,396), and the third largest cause were infectious gastroenteritis with (861) hospitalizations. There was a 21,9% reduction in the ICSAP rate throughout the analyzed period. Conclusion: The reduction of these indices seems to indicate improvements in basic health care services. This study contributed to a diagnosis of the real situation, functionality and effectiveness of the services provided in the cities surveyed.
