The objective in this research was to
characterize hospitalizations of children under five years
of ago due to primary care sensitive conditions in Cuiabá,
Mato Grosso, between 2007 and 2011. Descriptive study
of hospitalization records obtained from the Hospital
Information System of the Unified Health System, analyzed
per sex, age range, causes and year. In total, 16,156
hospitalizations were registered. Of these, 6,258 (38.7%)
were due to primary care sensitive conditions, with a
larger number of children between one and four years of
age (3,697). The main causes were bacterial pneumonias,
pulmonary diseases, infectious gastroenteritis and
complications. The hospitalization coefficients remained
stable in the study period, with a slight reduction in 2010
and 2011. Despite a reduction in the hospitalization
coefficient due to primary care sensitive conditions, the
results may indicate deficiency in the quality of care in
the city studied.
