- Abstract
Aim: To analyze hospital admission for oral and pharyngeal cancer in Brazil and regions from 2008 to 2017. Methods: This study analyzed the hospitalizations for this neoplasm registered in the Hospital Information System available in DATASUS/MS between 2008 and 2017. Results: A total of 263,556 hospitalizations were registered. The Southeast presented the highest frequency of cases (44.3%). The highest hospitalization rate occurred in the South (19.6/100 thousand). The highest rates of lethality were found in the North (12.7%) and Southeast (12.3%). There was a predominance of hospitalizations in the private care (53.5%) and emergency care (53.5%) sectors in Brazil. The mean hospital stay was 6.4 days. The case fatality rate was higher than the elective rate. The hospitalization rate declined, and the hospital lethality rate showed a tendency toward an increase of 0.2% per year. The correlation analysis of the average human development index and the hospitalization rates were moderately positive between the variables and the regions of the country. There was a higher average cost in reais for hospital admission on an elective basis, and the Mid-West region obtained a higher average financial cost (per authorized guide) in this modality. Conclusion: It was possible to verify a high number of hospitalizations for these types of cancer in Brazil, in addition to a high cost and average hospital stay, which tend to vary throughout the country.
