Brain vascular accident treatment procedures: an analysis of the perspective of the state of São Paulo
Background: Brain stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, especially in countries that suffer a marked change in the population profile due to an accelerated process of demographic and epidemiological transition. Objectives: To analyze the current panorama of hemorrhagic or ischemic brain stroke treatment procedures performed in the State of São Paulo for 13 years and correlate the current epidemiology with the results obtained. Methods: A literature review and observational, descriptive and transversal data collect on hemorrhagic or ischemic brain stroke treatment, available from January 2008 to December 2020, and articles available in Scielo and PubMed, were carried out. Results: There were 480,470 hospitalizations, representing a total expenditure of R$ 652,087,158.23. 11,517 procedures were performed on an elective basis and 468,922 urgently, with 134,893 occurring in the public sector and 144,502 in the private sector. All 480,470 considered to be of medium complexity. The total mortality rate was 17.34, corresponding to 83,324 deaths. The mortality rate for elective procedures was 17.36 compared to 17.34 for urgent procedures, whereas in the public sector it was 18.54 compared to 16.72 for the private sector. The average total hospital stay was 8.2 days, with an average cost of R$ 1,357.19. Conclusion: It is an urgent procedure, with a decreasing mortality rate in the last 12 years. It is very important to emphasize that despite being considered a procedure of medium complexity, it has a high mortality rate.
