According to the participants, the resources available in these services guarantee medical consultation and provide access to exams and medicines. Such resources have attracted patients and caused excess demand, which implies a set of compromising factors for the quality of care in these services. Final considerations: Investments in the restructuring of the care network, especially in primary care, with an increase in the number of consultations and the creation of a bond, can contribute to the emergency care units achieving the goal of access to qualified assistance to the elderly population.

“…O trabalho aponta que, a maioria dos pacientes apresentava como queixa doenças do sistema osteomuscular e do tecido conjuntivo e, ademais, reforça que a maioria das queixas poderiam ser abordadas ao nível de atenção primária, não requerendo a estrutura técnica da atenção secundária para sua resolutividade (RISSARDO LK, et al, 2016).…”

Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil epidemiológico dos idosos que utilizaram o serviço de pronto atendimento de um hospital particular em Belém – Pará, no primeiro semestre de 2017. Métodos: Este foi um estudo descritivo e retrospectivo. Os dados foram coletados a partir de relatórios emitidos pelo sistema operacional e pela análise direta de 470 prontuários eletrônicos do hospital. A análise estatística foi realizada pelo software BioEstat 5.3®. A significância estatística foi aceita ao nível de 95% (pvalor < 0,05). Resultados: O perfil dos idosos atendidos nesse pronto atendimento foi composto principalmente por idosos jovens, na faixa etária entre 60 e 70 anos (56,6%), mulheres (64%), em que mais da metade apresentava alguma comorbidade (65,3%) e a hipertensão arterial foi a mais prevalente. Conclusão: Ainda há a necessidade de mais pesquisas epidemiológicas nesse sentido, com uma melhor uniformização dos dados, para que estes possam vir a subsidiar estratégias não somente no setor privado, mas também no setor público, para o melhor e mais eficaz atendimento desta população.

Objective: to analyze factors associated with the care of the elderly for Primary Health Care sensitive conditions in an Emergency Care Unit. Method: a cross-sectional study was carried out in a municipal district located in the northwest of the state of Paraná, Brazil, between May and November of 2015. A semi-structured instrument was used, consisting of three distinct blocks that addressed sociodemographic profile, characterization of care and the reasons that led the elderly to seek care in the unit. The data were submitted to descriptive analysis and logistic regression for the treatment of variables. Results: A total of 191 elderly persons, who were female (56%), had less than eight years of schooling (85.3%) and were retirees (78.5%) were interviewed. The results showed that people with chronic morbidities were 1.42 times more likely (CI: 1.08 -5.42) to seek the Emergency Care Unit prior to the Basic Health Unit and were 1.65 times more likely (IC: 1.01 -6.82) to be referred by the unit for care. The lack of a doctor in Basic Health Units was also a factor responsible for the 1.36 times greater chance (CI: 1.03 -5.38) of the elderly being referred to the Emergency Care Unit for primary care sensitive conditions. Conclusion: the lack of human resources in the first level of care of the health service, together with the need for treatment of morbidities, were factors associated with the elderly seeking treatment for primary care sensitive conditions, with diseases of the osteomuscular and connective tissue systems the main reasons for seeking such care (47.6%).
