- Abstract
Objective: Through real-world evidence, evaluate the hospital beds capacity in Brazil versus WHO recommendations, how these hospital beds are used, where patients come from, how much does this cost, which different diseases are coming and the Intensive Units utilization. Methods: Retrospective study realized between July 2018 and June 2019 through Datasus data and processed on MySQL to different perspectives. All indexes have been organized on quintiles internment days and then sub analyzed in different perspectives, comparing with local literature and with international Guidelines. Results: National Health System (SUS) had 9.275.680 unique patients during the analyzed period, with a total cost of R$ 183 billions, and 63.817.613 hospitalization days diaries charged. The average length of stay was 6.3 days and it cost R$ 1.972,73 per patient. Conclusion: National Health System (SUS) is very recent on historic perspective. Whole system needs to improve primary health flows (entrance door) as well as develop and disseminate at home care process (exit door/reintroduction to primary care).
