Background: dementia is a syndrome characterized by the presence of a progressive deficit in cognitive function, with interference in social and occupational activities, with risk factors varying with genetic and environmental stressors. The differential diagnosis must identify potentially reversible conditions, of different etiologies, such as metabolic changes, intoxications, and nutritional deficiencies. In primary degenerative dementias and sequelae forms, the etiological diagnosis carries therapeutic and prognostic implications. Objectives: to analyse the current epidemiological profile of dementia in the state of São Paulo in the last 5 years. Methods: a literature review was carried out based on articles available in the Scielo and PubMed database and an observational, descriptive and cross- sectional collection of epidemiological data on dementias available in DATASUS – SUS Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) – in the last 5 years – January 2016 to December 2020 – assessing the number of hospitalizations, the amount of public spending, mortality rate and permanence. Results: in the analyzed period, 3.105 hospitalizations were observed due to occurrences related to dementia, representing a total expenditure of R$37.847.961,13, with 2017 being the year with the highest number of hospitalizations and responsible for the highest amount spent. The total mortality rate in the 5 years studied was 5,57, corresponding to 173 deaths, with 2020 being the year with the highest rate while 2017 had the lowest rate. The average of the permanence in the hospital was 180 days. Conclusion: patients with dementia need early diagnosis and procedures to reduce the rate of hospitalizations and mortality, as well as public costs. For this, technological innovations, using structural and functional neuroimaging methods, as well as biology and molecular genetics techniques, have presented perspectives for the early diagnosis of dementia.

Background: Polyradiculoneuritis is considered to be the biggest cause of flaccid paralysis in the world and even after the progression phase, some patients may present with disabling residual deficits, both sensory and motor. Objectives: Analyze the current panorama of treatment procedures for acute demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis performed in the State of São Paulo and correlate the current epidemiology with the results obtained. Methods: A literature review and an observational, descriptive and transversal data collect on treatment for acute demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis, available at DATASUS from January 2008 to December 2020, and articles available at Scielo and PubMed. Results: There were 7,917 hospitalizations, representing a total expenditure of R$ 9,392,552.04, 2009 being the year with the highest number of hospitalizations (809) and 2017 with the highest amount spent during the period (R$ 967,284.65). 805 are elective and 7,109 are urgent, with 1,736 occurring in the public sector and 3,506 in the private sector. All of them were considered medium complexity. The total mortality rate was 1.57, corresponding to 124 deaths, 2019 being the year with the highest mortality rate, 2.94, and 2015 with the lowest rate, 0.53. The mortality rate for elective procedures was 0.99 compared to 1.63 for urgent procedures, whereas in the public sector it was 1.61 compared to 1.23 for the private sector. The average total hospital stay was 8.3 days, with an average cost of R$ 1,186.38. Conclusion: It is important to correctly notify the procedures performed, improving the epidemiological analysis and directing investments in health more appropriately.

Background: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and its prevalence practically doubles every five years from the age of 60. The progression of the disease determines cognitive deterioration, impairment of basic daily activities and the need for multiple hospitalizations. Objectives: Characterize the clinical-epidemiological profile of hospitalizations for Alzheimer’s in the state of São Paulo, in the period from 2015 to 2019. Design and Setting: Epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective study with quantitative analysis. Methods: Data provided from the Hospital Morbidity System (SIH-SUS) of the Ministry of Health. Results: A total of 2270 hospitalizations were identified, with a decrease in the number of hospitalizations over the five years (590 in 2015 and 435 in 2019). There was a predominance in people over 80 years old. About 68% of hospitalizations were on an urgent basis. The mortality rate increased 286.23% between 2015 and 2019, and the region with the highest number of hospitalizations was the greater São Paulo (n=1318). Conclusion: The increase in the mortality rate, associated with the reduction in the number of hospitalizations over the years and the predominance of hospitalizations on an urgent basis, may indicate that hospitalizations occur in the presence of a more severe disease, whether due to better management of moderate disease or late diagnosis of its complications. The predominance of hospitalizations in the greater São Paulo region indicates a centralization of health services and technological resources.

Introduction: Meningitis is an inflammatory process of the meninges, which can be of infectious cause or not. Among the infectious, the bacterial is the most alarming for society, since it has a much higher rate of morbidity and mortality. Objectives: Analyze and describe the epidemiological profile of bacterial meningitis in the State of São Paulo. Methods: Descriptive epidemiological study of cases of bacterial meningitis in the State of São Paulo, carried out through the DATASUS platform, in the period from 2016 to 2020. Results: The State of São Paulo registered 4013 cases of bacterial meningitis, 67.1% of the cases in the Southeast (5977), being responsible for 53% of the cases of this disease in Brazil. The most affected age group in the State was 0 to 4 years, 33.7% of the total, while elderly people aged 80 and over were the least affected (2.3%). As for deaths, São Paulo recorded 862 and a mortality rate of 21.4%, higher than the country average (20.5%), representing 64% of deaths in the Southeast region. In addition, males were the most affected, registering 58.1% of the total, while females registered 41.8%. Conclusions: São Paulo has the majority of cases and deaths from bacterial meningitis in its region, with a mortality rate that exceeds Brazilian averages and which contributes to the Southeast having more than half of the cases of meningitis in Brazil. More active epidemiological surveillance and greater dissemination of information on meningitis and its signs and symptoms is necessary.

Background: Dementia syndromes have a progressive and varied nature, causing cognitive and functional decay. Therefore, understanding the epidemiology of this disease is important for its screening. Objectives: To present the patients hospitalized in the state of São Paulo clinical-epidemiological profile, between March 2011 and February 2021. Design and settings: Descriptive, retrospective, and quantitative epidemiological study. Methodology: The data were collected in Sistema de Informação Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde. The number of hospitalizations and mortality rate were analyzed, correlating them with sex, color, age group, care type, and year. Results: In 6572 hospitalizations, there was no sex majority. 20.3% of the patients did not present information about color. Among the identified, the majority was white (66.2%) or brown (24.7%). Individuals older than 60 years represented 62.6%, with peak between 70 and 79 years old. White population had the highest mortality rates (7.85 ‰), followed by the black population (7.55 ‰). The mortality rate was higher among women older than 80 years. Mortality in elective care (11.6 ‰) was approximately 4 times higher than in emergency care (2.77 ‰). Conclusions: The profile includes white and brown population, older than 60 years. Higher mortality rates in women older than 80 years may be related to their longer life expectancy. Higher mortality in elective care may indicate greater neurodegenerative diseases presence.
