“…Los registros más elevados de hospitalizaciones en los adultos, se podrían comprender, ya que al encontrarse en una edad laboral activa, junto con justificar las malas prácticas de autocuidado, producen un menor compromiso con la enfermedad generando descompensaciones más frecuentes (12) , además en el proceso de transición de atención pediátrica a adulto, otros factores podrían repercutir en los mayores registros, como atención poco personalizada, controles parcelados, profesionales con reducida experiencia e inadecuado manejo de comorbilidades (13) .…”

“…La tasa de hospitalización en 2019 es la más elevada, lo que se podría explicar por una mejor calidad en los registros, por cambios en la metodología o por variables externas, como alto costo de medicamentos y prestaciones asociadas, que limitan la continuidad de los cuidados (13) . La tasa de un 22.0 por 100.000 habitantes corresponde a 4.021 egresos, valor similar a lo registrado en Ecuador con 4.782 egresos (35) .…”

Introduction: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological pathology that causes psychological and neurocognitive alterations and affects socioeconomic aspects, which makes it an important public health problem. Objective: To describe sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in hospital discharges of patients diagnosed with epilepsy in Chile during the 2015-2019 five-year period. Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study. The Statistical Report of Hospital Discharges of the Ministry of Health of Chile was used, a single database was constructed based on the records of hospital discharges diagnosed with epilepsy. (G.40). Results: 57.8% of hospital discharges corresponded to men and the age range of 45 to 59 years represented the highest proportion. At the national level, the majority health forecast was FONASA with 84.8%, a figure similar to that of care in public health establishments. The classification of unspecified type epilepsy (G40.9) was the most prevalent, the average days of hospitalization was 7.6 days, with a mortality rate of 6.3 per 1,000 hospital discharges and a hospitalization rate of 15.7 per 100,000 inhabitants. Conclusion: From the neurological diseases, epilepsy is the most frequent pathology of hospital discharges nationwide, with a higher incidence in adulthood, which is not consistent with the existing literature where a higher prevalence is noted in childhood and the elderly. It is pertinent to note that Chile has a long hospital stay when compared with other countries in the region.
