Resumo: | Population aging is one of the greatest challenges of contemporary public health care and there are few studies on the use of hospital services by the elderly.This study aimed to describe the profile of elderly hospital admissions in a university hospital in the North of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is a descriptive and retrospective study, with clinical and epidemiological aspects of a representative sample of elderly inpatients. The data were collected by a previously tested instrument. Hospitalizations in the elderly population accounted for 11.0% of the total. It was observed that most of the individuals were aged between 60 and 69 years (44.9%), were female (56.2%) and had not studied or completed primary education (94.2%). We have observed that 70.7% were hospitalized for the first time and 29.3% had had two or more previous admissions. The hospital stay ranged from 1 to 59 days with an average of eight days.The highest percentage of hospital admissions was observed for respiratory diseases (18.5%) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia, followed by the group of diseases of the circulatory system (18.1%), especially heart failure. When they are discharged the elderly presented better health conditions. However, 12.7% (n = 35) of them had an unsatisfactory progress, with stable clinical condition or death.The profile observed coincides with other national studies. It is expected that the results may support programs to adequacy of services to the population studied. |

El objeto del presente trabajo es describir el perfil de las internaciones de ancianos en un hospital universitario del Norte del Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo enfocado en los aspectos clínicos y epidemiológicos de una muestra representativa. Los datos fueron recogidos con una herramienta probada con antelación. La hospitalización en los ancianos representó el 11,0% del total. Se observó que la mayoría de las personas tenía entre 60 y 69 años (44,9%) eran mujeres (56,2%) y no había estudiado o acabado la educación primaria (94,2%). Observamos que el 70,7% eran ancianos internados por primera vez y que el 29,3% de los clientes tenía dos o más admisiones. La permanencia en el hospital variaba de uno a 59 días con un promedio de ocho días. El mayor porcentaje de internaciones se debía a enfermedades respiratorias (18,5%), enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica y neumonía, seguida por el grupo de enfermedades del sistema circulatorio (18,1%), especialmente insuficiencia cardíaca. La mayoría de los ancianos fue dado de alta en mejores condiciones que al ser internados. Sin embargo, el 12,7% (n = 35) de los ancianos no evolucionó satisfactoriamente, con cuadro clínico estable o falleció. El perfil observado coincide con otros estudios nacionales. Se espera que los resultados pueden apoyar programas de adecuación de los servicios brindados a la población estudiada.O envelhecimento populacional é um dos maiores desafios da saúde pública contemporânea e existem poucos estudos sobre a utilização de serviços hospitalares por idosos. Com este estudo objetivou-se descrever o perfil das internações hospitalares de idosos em um hospital universitário localizado no norte do Estado de Minas Gerais (MG). Este é um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, com abordagem de aspectos clínicos e epidemiológicos de amostra representativa de idosos hospitalizados. Os dados foram coletados por meio de instrumento próprio, previamente testado. Verificouse que as internações em idosos representaram 11,0% do total, que a maioria tinha idade entre 60 e 69 anos (44,9%), era do sexo feminino (56,2%) e não havia estudado ou concluído o ensino fundamental (94,2%). Registrou-se que 70,7% correspondiam a idosos hospitalizados pela primeira vez na instituição e 29,3% a clientes com duas ou mais admissões. A permanência hospitalar variou de 1 a 59 dias, com mediana de 8 dias. O maior percentual de internações foi observado para as doenças respiratórias (18,5%): doenças pulmonares obstrutivas crônicas e pneumonias, seguindose o grupo das doenças do aparelho circulatório (18,1%), com destaque para a insuficiência cardíaca. As condições de alta revelaram que a maior parte dos idosos recebeu alta em melhores condições do que foram admitidos. Todavia, 12,7% (n=35) dos idosos tiveram evolução insatisfatória, com quadro clínico inalterado ou com evolução para óbitos. O perfil observado coincide com outros estudos nacionais. Espera-se que os resultados apresentados possam subsidiar ações de adequação dos serviços prestados para a população estudada.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2010-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50455REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 14 No. 3 (2010)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 14 Núm. 3 (2010)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 14 n. 3 (2010)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50455/42085https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50455/42086Copyright (c) 2010 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRabelo, Lucielle Peres de OliveiraVieira, Maria AparecidaCaldeira, Antônio PratesCosta, Simone de Melo2024-01-24T16:55:10Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50455Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-24T16:55:10Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
