- Abstract
Objective: to describe hospitalizations, deaths and public hospital costs for Diabetes Mellitus in Northeastern Brazil between 2013 and 2017. Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive and ecological study with secondary data collection from the Hospital Information System. Data was collected regarding hospitalizations, deaths, hospital costs, average hospitalization value and average length of stay. Data was analyzed using simple descriptive statistics, presenting them using tables prepared using Excel software. Results: 136,504 hospitalizations and 7,424 deaths from diabetes mellitus were recorded in the Brazilian Northeast. Also noteworthy were the public hospital costs over R$ 65 million, with an average hospitalization value of R$ 545.08 and an average length of stay of 5.4 days. Conclusion: it can be concluded that hospitalizations, deaths and public hospital costs for Diabetes Mellitus showed a slight reduction and, even so, they significantly implied the public budget, in addition to the personal and family repercussions imposed by the disease.
