Abstract

Objective: To identify the causes and trends of hospitalizations due to primary care-sensitive conditions in children under five years in Rondônia, Brazil, from 2008 to 2017.
Method: Time series. Secondary data on hospitalizations available in the Hospital Information System between January and March 2018 were used. The trend analysis was based on the Prais-Winsten linear regression model.
Results: Infectious gastroenteritis was the main cause of hospitalization at all ages. Children under one year had the highest rates of hospital admissions, and the causes  were lung disease, ear, nose and throat infection, kidney and urinary tract infection, with an increasing trend of prenatal and childbirth diseases. Hospitalizations due to epilepsy, skin infection and subcutaneous tissue showed an increasing trend at all ages.
Conclusion: The high rates of hospital admissions for children reflect the fragility of the care network. This study contributes to the improvement of public child health policies in Primary Health Care.
