Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the world. Its incidence increases with advancing age. Therefore, in Brazil, a country in transition of age structure, it is relevant to assess the progression of hospitalizations and hospital costs for PD over the years. Objective: Describe the progression of hospitalizations and hospital costs for PD in Brazilian’s public health system, SUS, between 2008-2020. Design and setting: Descriptive ecological observational study made in Brazil, Salvador – BA. Methods: Data from hospitalization and hospital costs were collected from DATASUS in the 5 Brazilian regions. Statistical analysis was based on measures of dispersion and central tendency. Results: Between 2008-2020, 11,565 admissions for PD were notified. The highest numbers of hospitalizations corresponded to the Southeast region (annual average = 370.1), while the smallest to the North region (annual average = 28.4). Regarding the high expenses resulting from hospitalizations, it was observed that the Southeast obtained higher costs with hospital services (annual average = 1,417,716.8), while the North had the lowest (annual average = 18,611.01). Conclusion: Southeast region stood out for having the highest numbers in costs and hospitalizations, the opposite of what happened in North. Brazilian regional disparities, especially regarding to demographic density, HDI, socioeconomic development and access to health care, may explain these demographically uneven.
Background: The incidence of Cerebrovascular Diseases (CVD) increases significantly with age, being more frequent in the elderly. For this reason, there are still few studies that describe the epidemiological profile of these pathologies in youn g adults. Methods and Objective: From the data collected prospectively and allocated on the TabNet platform (DataSUS, MS), an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. As a primary objective, we seek to describe the demographic information most associated with CVD mortality in individuals between 20 and 49 years old, in São Paulo. Results: The year 2011 emerged in relation to mortality, with 1,432 deaths; in the 2010- 2019 period, the average number of deaths (± standard deviation [SD]) was 1,318 (± 61), per year. In this period, the number of deaths was higher in the capital (4,605; 34.9% of the total in the state). The mean deaths (± SD), per year, in the capital and in the interior cities were, respectively: 442 (± 58) and 2.4 (± 6.2). People with schooling from 4 to 7 years old and from 8 to 11 years old were the most affected. The ratio of male deaths to female deaths was 1.05. Conclusion: There is relative stability in relation to mortality per year among young adults in the state of SP, the capital being the city with the highest number of deaths. Male individuals, with a medium level of education were responsible for most of the deaths.
