“…Estudos realizados em outras cidades brasileiras também evidenciaram estas como as principais responsáveis por internações infantis (6,17,20) . Cabe destacar que enquanto os outros estudos apontaram as afecções perinatais como a terceira causa de hospitalização, esses agravos foram responsáveis por menos de cinco internações hospitalares por mil crianças no período estudado, sendo classificado no presente estudo, como outras doenças.…”

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo caracterizar as hospitalizações de crianças menores de cinco anos por condições sensíveis à atenção primária, em Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, entre 2007 e 2011. Estudo descritivo dos registros das hospitalizações obtidas do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde, analisadas por sexo, faixa etária, causas e ano. Registraram-se 16.156 hospitalizações. Dessas, 6.258 (38,7%) foram por condições sensíveis à atenção primária, com maior número em crianças de um a quatro anos (3.697). As principais causas foram pneumonias bacterianas, doenças pulmonares, gastroenterites infecciosas e complicações. Os coeficientes de hospitalizações permaneceram estáveis no período estudado, com discreta redução nos anos de 2010 e 2011. Embora tenha ocorrido redução do coeficiente de hospitalizações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária, os resultados podem indicar deficiência na qualidade da atenção no município estudado.

“…A study which aimed to assess the reliability of SIH-SUS data by comparing data with information on the patient forms suggested that 20% of ACSC admissions were not recorded (3) . However, a number of studies have highlighted the importance of investigations based on data from the SIH-SUS and consider the system an important source of data for assessing PHC (2,6,10) .…”

“…Admissions among children under the age of one are generally due to problems in the quality of prenatal care, which is part of primary health care, but are also related to birth and new born care which fall under hospital care (10) . Nevertheless, perinatal conditions, which account for a large part of admissions among children under the age of one, may be considered potentially avoidable (2) .…”

“…A growing number of studies aim to measure the effectiveness of PHC by analysing indicators (2)(3) used to guide actions and evaluate the determinants of the health-disease process (4) . One potential indicator is hospital admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC admissions) (5)(6) .…”

“…A study in Brazil showed that the main causes of ACSC admissions among children aged between one and four were gastroenteritis, asthma and pneumonia (6) , while a study of three municipalities in the Northeast region of the State of Paraná carried out between 1998 and 2009 observed that the two principal causes were respiratory tract diseases (55.6%) and infectious and parasitic diseases (14.8%) (2) .…”

Objective: to describe hospital admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions in children under five years of age in the State of Paraná, Brazil by condition type, age group and health region. Method: a temporal ecological study was conducted using data from the Unified Health System Hospital Information System for the period 2000 to 2011. Conditions were grouped in accordance with the list of ambulatory care sensitive conditions in Brazil. Results: there was an increase in the rate of admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions in all age groups in 50% of the health regions, with a marked increase in children under the age of one. Pneumonia, gastroenteritis and asthma were the main causes of admissions. There was an increase in the proportion of overall admissions accounted for by pneumonia and gastroenteritis. Conclusion: the increase in admissions reveals the need for actions to improve access to primary healthcare and provide effective treatment of the main ambulatory care sensitive conditions in order to prevent hospital admissions among children.

Regulation is a state management tool to ensure that networked health services and goods comply with the principles of universality of access and integrality of care in the Unified Health System. To describe the regulatory actions of access to children's health services in the hospital setting, a descriptive, documentary study was performed to address data on the regulation of access to hospital health-care points for children from January to October 2015. The sample consisted of 2485 hospitalization procedures and regulated transfers in children between 0 and 15 years old living in the Juazeiro do Norte Health Region in the State of Ceará. The children's health-care network in the referenced region includes 8 hospitals that together provide care for 105 163 children in the surgical, emergency, and intensive care areas. These hospitals have a total of 176 beds, of which 118 are pediatric clinics, 7 are surgical pediatric units, and 51 are neonatal and intensive care units. In the medical clinics, 2279 children were hospitalized for local admissions, and 206 (8.9%) were transferred to intensive care units. Most children were under 1 year old (43.6%). The regulation of access to the hospitals' health-care network seems to guarantee local and regional access to 6 municipalities in the region. However, a high waiting time for intensive care beds was observed.
