- Abstract
Objective: to describe hospital morbidity and mortality and public costs related to acute renal failure in northeastern Brazil. Method: this is a quantitative, ecological and descriptive study conducted with data from the Hospital Information System. The following variables were collected: hospitalizations; deaths; mortality; values of hospital services; average values spent on hospitalizations and average hospital stay. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics and presented in tables prepared by Excel software. Results: 21,100 hospitalizations, 4,460 deaths and 21.1% mortality were registered. Bahia stood out in hospitalizations (28.6%) and deaths (28.7%) and Sergipe in lethality (35.6%). It generated a public cost over R $ 37.6 million and Bahia accounted for 32.1%. An average value of R $ 1,969.97 was revealed for each hospitalization and the average hospital stay was 10.2 days. Conclusion: it is concluded that the epidemiological variables were more prevalent in the states of Bahia and Sergipe. In addition, the increasing behavior of hospitalizations was evidenced, implying an increase in public costs.
