This study describes the profile of Hospitalisations for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSCs) in Curitiba from 2005 to 2007. An ecological study was conducted using the data obtained from the Brazilian Hospital Information System (Sistema de Informações Hospitalares). Descriptive statistics was used for analysis. It was observed that there was a trend toward stabilisation in ACSCs in Curitiba, the most frequent causes being angina and heart failure, with an increased frequency in females and individuals aged ≥65 years. The results were similar to those observed in other studies, and almost in their entirety, were highly significant from a statistical point of view. However, the studies should be viewed with caution because it is an indicator presenting some limitations, including the reliability of diagnosis and the use of secondary data.
本研究描述了2005年至2007年库里蒂巴市门诊护理敏感疾病（ACSC）的住院情况。利用从巴西医院信息系统（Sistema de Informações Hospitalares）获得的数据进行了一项生态学研究。采用描述性统计进行分析。观察到库里蒂巴市ACSC有趋于稳定的趋势，最常见的病因是心绞痛和心力衰竭，女性及年龄≥65岁的人群发病率增加。结果与其他研究观察到的结果相似，并且几乎在所有方面从统计学角度来看都具有高度显著性。然而，对这些研究应谨慎看待，因为它是一个存在一些局限性的指标，包括诊断的可靠性和二手数据的使用。
