Estimation curve of hospital admissions in Brazilian metropolitan regions: a historical series study
Journal Title: Revista Eletronica de Enfermagem - Year 2012, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate temporal variations in the distribution of hospital admissions occurring in the National Health System (SUS) in all Brazilian metropolitan areas between 1995 and 2006. This ecological, historical series study was performed using secondary data from 36 Brazilian metropolitan regions. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the data, and then subjected the data to Spearman correlation and curve estimation. The results indicate that the F test was significant in a decreasing order for the linear (p = 0.001), quadratic (p = 0.002) and cubic (p = 0.004) models. On the other hand, the R2values showed an increasing order of values (0.277, 0.307 and 0.338), respectively. The cubic model showed that the mean percentage of hospital admissions in 2006 declined when compared to 1995. In conclusion, the percentage of admissions occurring in the SUS in Brazilian metropolitan areas decreased during the studied period.
