- Abstract
Objective: The study's purpose has been to assess the Family Health Strategy coverage in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro over the period from 2008 to 2013, and verify its correlation with the hospitalizations for cardiovascular diseases that are sensitive to Primary Care. Methods: It is a Cross-Sectional Epidemiologic Study with secondary data. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and the Spearman correlation test. Results: In the period of 2008, the population coverage of the Family Health Strategy was 8.1%, and in 2013 it was 39.41%. There is no linear association between the hospitalizations for hypertension, angina and cerebrovascular diseases and the Family Health Strategy coverage (p>0.05). Hospitalizations for cardiac failure presented a negative correlation with the Family Health Strategy coverage (p<0.001). Conclusion: At the end of 2013, around 40% of the population of Rio de Janeiro was covered by the Family Health Strategy. Nonetheless, this result represents a smaller expansion than the observed at the national and regional levels.
