INTERNAÇÕES HOSPITALARES POR DOENÇAS IMUNIZÁVEIS NO BRASIL (2010-2019).
Objective. To contrast the epidemiological profile of hospitalizations for immunizable diseases (miliary tuberculosis, accidental tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, acute hepatitis B and mumps), in the period from 2010 to 2019, in Brazil. Methods. This is an ecological study whose data were obtained by DATASUS, reproduced by the Hospital Information System, National Immunization Program Information System, Mortality Information System and Live Birth Information System. The variables include: geographic region, age group, sex, race, hospitalizations, average length of stay, hospital expenses, deaths, illness, vaccination coverage, doses, calculations and year of occurrence. Results. 46,493 hospitalizations were recorded. The Southeast region has the highest number of hospitalizations and expenses, while the Midwest region stands out for the lowest number of hospitalizations, deaths and expenses. The most prevalent age groups are under 1 year old (41.1%), 50 to 59 years old (8.8%) and 1 to 4 years old (8.7%). Males and brown and white races were the most affected. 5.9% of hospitalizations evolved into deaths and public spending is over 50 million. With the exception of BCG, vaccines are below target in almost all regions and/or years. Conclusion. The study showed heterogeneity between regions in relation to vaccination coverage and the incidence of hospitalizations and corroborated the idea of a cause-effect relationship between these variables, allowing to know the profile of hospitalizations and serving as an important instrument of political planning for prevention strategies. of new cases and qualification of the effectiveness of PHC.
