“…The inaccurate assignment of codes may happen, or the misclassification of the diagnosis because the technicians of hospitals billing sectors are often not trained for the task of coding of diagnoses. In this regard it is essential that municipal managers and employees of the audit sectors are prepared and aware for the assessment and control of hospital admissions, in order to ensure the coverage and quality of SIH-SUS information so that it is useful in local and regional decisions related to the access and quality of health care for the population (23) .…”

“…Because secondary data were used in the analysis, there may be variation in accuracy and quality of data, such as inadequate or incorrect information, or underreporting of admission data. A study that analyzed the coverage and quality of information about hospitalizations for external causes of morbidity and mortality in the SIH-SUS, based on the medical records from this data source, concluded that there may be underreporting of information 35 . This suggests that the estimates presented here may be underestimated, what worsens the situation of hospital morbidity due to motorcycle accidents.…”
