Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Epidemiological Aspects of Hospitalization in a State in the Amazon Region

“…The average length of hospital stay in Brazil is 7.1 days and in the state of Amapá 8.3 days, the latter being within the national proportion, these data reveal a high degree of morbidity from the disease, in addition to high costs for health services (PALMIRO et al, 2021).…”

“…In the State of Amapá, the regions with the most hospitalizations are the most urbanized, collaborating with the most current studies that IBD have a strong influence on residents of urbanized areas (PALMIRO et al, 2021). On a global scale, this epidemiology is also demonstrated, since more industrialized countries are the ones with more cases, such as North America, the United Kingdom and Australia (SELINGER et al, 2019).…”

“…As for age, the age group from 20 to 69 years old has the highest number of hospitalizations, the same occurred in a study carried out in Minas Gerais, with 70% of hospitalizations in the age group from 20 to 69 years old (BRITO; PINTO, 2019). In a national study, the age group with the highest number of records was 20 to 59 years old (PALMIRO et al, 2021). Along the same lines, in a study carried out in a hospital in Amazonas, where diagnoses with 70% of cases occurred in the age group of 20 to 69 years, there is no doubt that the age group of IBD prevalence, both in the diagnosis and in the hospitalizations, are from 20 to 69 years old (SANTOS;.…”

“…In Brazil, IBD has a low death rate. In the national study, there were 1,169 deaths (2.51%), with the North region having the lowest rate (0.13%), peak in the age group of 70 to 79 years (0.47%) and a slight prevalence for the men (51.83%) compared to women (48.16%) (PALMIRO et al, 2021). The data from the state of Amapá follows the data from the national study, low mortality rate (1.96%) with a predominance of men (85.72%) in relation to women, with only one death out of seven that occurred in the study period.…”

“…Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have shown a change in their epidemiological profile in recent years (PALMIRO et al, 2021). IBD were more common in Northern Europe and the USA, but with the socioeconomic improvements of the population of underdeveloped countries, with new westernization and smoking habits, the incidence of IBD increased worldwide (PALMIRO et al, 2021). Brazil also follows this trend and has seen an increase in the number of cases in recent years (SELINGER et al, 2019).…”
