- Abstract
Background: Hospitalizations due to primary care sensitive conditions (HPCSC) represent an important health indicator, which can guide the access and quality of health care in the context of primary care. Objective: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with HPCSC in children aged 0 to 10 years old, in northern Minas Gerais, comparing the indicator with a similar study carried out 10 years ago. Methods: Cross-sectional study with a random sample of selected pediatric hospitalizations from June/2016 and august/2017 was carried out. The variables associated with HPCSC were identified after multiple analysis, using Poisson Regression, with robust variance. Results: 376 hospitalizations were analyzed. The proportion of HPCSC was 29.0%, significantly lower than the previous study, with a proportion of 41.4%. The variables male gender (PR = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.86 - 0.97), low birth weight (PR = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.85 - 0.97) and maternal education below eight years (PR = 0.93; 95% CI: 0.88 - 0.98) were identified as protective factors. Conclusion: There was still a high prevalence for HPCSC, but with an important reduction in 10 years. Only sociodemographic variables were shown to be associated with HPCSC.
