Abstract :

The objective of this study was to analyze the trend of hospitalizations due to adverse reaction and drug poisoning in patients aged less than 5 years, in Brazil from 2000 to 2017. Data were from the Hospital Information System systems and the population was analyzed by sex and region of residence.The trend analysis of the historical series was performed using the Prais-Winsten method. The hospitalizations due to adverse reaction and drug poisoning presented a declining trend. The analysis by regions showed the Northeast and Southeast regions with a declining trend, and the North, Central West and South regions with a steady trend. The cases of MI and RAM contribute to the increase in the occurrence of hospitalizations of children under 5 years of age and information systems such as the SIH-SUS are extremely important for studies that monitor hospital morbidity.
