Resumo: OBJECTIVE: To assess direct medical costs associated with schizophrenia relapses in mental health services. METHODS: The study was conducted in three health facilities in the city of São Paulo: a public state hospital; a Brazilian National Health System (SUS)-contracted hospital; and a community mental health center. Medical records of 90 patients with schizophrenia who received care in 2006 were reviewed. Information on inpatient expenditures was collected and used for cost estimates. RESULTS: Mean direct medical cost of schizophrenia relapses per patient was US$ 4,083.50 (R$ 8,167.58) in the public state hospital; US$ 2,302.76 (R$ 4,605.46) in the community mental health center; and US$ 1,198.50 (R$ 2,397.74) in the SUS-affiliated hospital. The main component was daily inpatient room rates (87% - 98%). Medication costs varied depending on the use of typical or atypical antipsychotic drugs. Atypical antipsychotic drugs were more often used in the community mental health center. CONCLUSIONS: Costs associated with schizophrenia relapses support investments in antipsychotic drugs and strategies to reduce disease relapse and the need for mental health inpatient services. Treating patients in a community mental health center was associated with medium costs and added the benefit of not depriving these patients from family life.

OBJETIVO: Evaluar el costo directo médico-hospitalario de la recaída en esquizofrenia, en servicios en salud mental. MÉTODOS: Estudio conducido en tres servicios de salud de la ciudad de Sao Paulo (Sureste de Brasil): un hospital público estatal, un hospital contratado en convenio con el Sistema Único de Salud, y un centro de atención psicosocial. Se analizaron 90 prontuarios de pacientes portadores de esquizofrenia atendidos durante el año de 2006. Los recursos utilizados durante la permanencia de los pacientes en los servicios fueron obtenidos y valorados para cálculos de las estimaciones. RESULTADOS: El costo directo médico-hospitalario promedio de la recaída en esquizofrenia, por paciente, fue de US$ 4,083.50 (R$ 8.167,58) en el hospital público estatal; US$ 2,302.76 (R$ 4.605,46) en el centro de atención psicosocial y de US$ 1,198.50 (R$ 2.397,74) en el hospital con convenio. El principal componente fue el costo por día (87% a 98%). El costo con medicación difirió con relación a la utilización de antipsicóticos típicos o atípicos, siendo mayor en el centro de atención psicosocial, el mayor uso de atípicos. CONCLUSIONES: La inversión en medicamentos antipsióticos y en estrategias que disminuyan la recaída y la necesidad de pagos diarios en los servicios, especialmente hospitalarios, son justificables por la proporción de los costos que estas representan. Tratar la recaída en el centro de atención psicosocial presentó un costo intermedio, con el beneficio de no privar al paciente de la convivencia familiar. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o custo direto médico-hospitalar da recaída em esquizofrenia, em serviços em saúde mental.

CONCLUSÕES: O investimento em medicações antipsicóticas e em estratégias que diminuam a recaída e a necessidade de diárias nos serviços, especialmente hospitalares, são justificáveis pela proporção dos custos que estas representam. Tratar a recaída no centro de atenção psicossocial apresentou um custo intermediário, com o benefício de não privar o paciente do convívio familiar. Universidade de São Paulo.
