- Abstract
Objective: to characterize hospital admissions for congenital malformations of the circulatory system in children under one year old of age in Brazil, in Rio Grande do Sul and in Porto Alegre. Method: Time series study using information provided by public access databases from 2016 to 2020. Results: Porto Alegre is a reference in the care of congenital malformations, and 1/4 of the admissions come from other cities. Urgent care predominates. The average length of stay and mortality rate are higher compared to state and country rates. Conclusion: Porto Alegre has a high mortality and longer hospitalizations because it receives complex cases from all over the state. Investments in regional hospitals, technological resources, transportation and education could probably change the referral pattern and reduce mortality rate and hospital stay.
