Objective: to describe hospital admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions in children under five years of age in the State of Paraná, Brazil by condition type, age group and health region. Method: a temporal ecological study was conducted using data from the Unified Health System Hospital Information System for the period 2000 to 2011. Conditions were grouped in accordance with the list of ambulatory care sensitive conditions in Brazil. Results: there was an increase in the rate of admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions in all age groups in 50% of the health regions, with a marked increase in children under the age of one. Pneumonia, gastroenteritis and asthma were the main causes of admissions. There was an increase in the proportion of overall admissions accounted for by pneumonia and gastroenteritis. Conclusion: the increase in admissions reveals the need for actions to improve access to primary healthcare and provide effective treatment of the main ambulatory care sensitive conditions in order to prevent hospital admissions among children.
Objective: to identify the knowledge of nursing professionals about breastfeeding infants with a cleft lip and palate. Methods:a cross-sectional survey with nurses from two Brazilian Universities. A questionnaire with personal characteristics andknowledge related to nursing education was used. Results: all 13 nurses reported the lack of training on breastfeedingfor infants with a cleft lip and palate. Most of the nurses were unaware of offering ways of feeding, suggesting that despitebeing one of the professionals who give more guidance on breastfeeding, knowledge on the subject is just beginning aboutthe need for attention and care in attending children with a cleft lip and palate. Conclusion: further research in the area isrecommended in order to improve understanding of caring for newborns with a cleft lip and palate, and to help professionalsupgrade the care process.
Objective: To analyze the trends of hospitalizations for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions, according to the main causes among children under five years old. Method: Ecological time-series study carried out with data from the Hospital Information System of the State of Parana. The analysis was based on hospitalization rates and polynomial regression models according to age and cause. Results: The most frequent causes were pneumonia, gastroenteritis, asthma, kidney and urinary tract infection and nutritional disorders. Hospitalizations for pneumonia, asthma and nutritional deficiencies decreased among children under five and hospitalizations rates for gastroenteritis remained stable. There was an increase in hospitalization rates for kidney and urinary tract infection in all ages. Conclusion: Hospitalization for care-sensitive conditions among children under five years presented an increasing trend only for children under one year old. Hospitalizations for pneumonia, gastroenteritis, asthma and nutritional deficiencies showed a decreasing trend.

Estudo transversal que analisou a prevalência de sintomas depressivos, sinais de demência e fatores associados em idosos residentes em município do sul do Brasil. Foi realizado inquérito domiciliar a uma amostra de 359 idosos cadastrados nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde, utilizando questionário Brazil Old Age Schedule. Para análise dos fatores associados empregou-se teste Qui-Quadrado e Razão de Prevalência. A prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi 65,2%, maior para mulheres (RP=1,2; p=0,029) e idosos que moram só (RP=1,3; p=0,009). Os sinais de demência, presentes em 37,6%, foram mais frequentes em mulheres (RP=1,8; p<0,001), idosos de 70 a 79 anos (RP=1,4; p=0,014), de 80 anos e mais (RP=1,6; p=0,015), viúvos (RP=1,7; p<0,001) e analfabetos (RP=2,8; p<0,001). A compreensão dos fatores associados aos sintomas depressivos e sinais de demência é essencial para aperfeiçoar ações em saúde mental do idoso na comunidade, principalmente mulheres, viúvos, acima de 70 anos, analfabetos e que moram sozinhos.
Objectives: to describe the trend of preventable neonatal mortality due to interventions by the Unified Health System in Brazil from 2000 to 2018, according to groups of causes of death and maternal residence. Methods: mixed ecological study with data from the Mortality Information System and Information System on Live Births. The analysis occurred based on the number and rates of avoidable neonatal mortality, polynomial regression models by least squares method and thematic maps. Results: the avoidable neonatal mortality rate decreased from 10.98 in 2000 to 6.76 per 1,000 live births in 2018. Preventable causes prevailed due to adequate care for women during pregnancy, childbirth, fetus and newborn. Deaths from preventable causes from health promotion actions during pregnancy increased in Maranhão (p=0.003) and the Federal District (p=0.001) and remained stable in nine states. There was stability in the rates of mortality due to delivery in Maranhão, Piauí and Amazonas. The causes avoidable by actions with the newborn showed a decreasing trend, except for Roraima where there was stability. Conclusions: there are inequalities in trends of avoidable neonatal mortality rates in the states second according to the group of causes and the need to improve access to and quality of maternal and child health care in these places
