Abstract:
Introduction: The Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a representative disease of the non-
communicable diseases group, is a worldwide epidemic and represents a enormous challenge
to the health systems in the world. Is a syndrome that includes a heterogeneous group of
metabolic disorders. Its most important feature is hyperglycemia, which results of a total or
partial deficiency in the production of insulin or defects in the action of the hormone, or both.
Objective: To analyze the official information about hospital mortality and morbidity on the
Brazilian Health System (SUS) caused DM in Brazil in 2013. Methodology: It is a ecological
study, retrospective, descriptive, with a quantitative approach. Secondary data were analyzed
regarding the deaths and hospitalizations obtained in the Unified Health System Mortality
Information System (SIM-SUS) and Hospital Information System (SIH-SUS), respectively,
referring to the DM (main diagnosis CID 10 E10-E14), available in the SUS information
technology department (DATASUS). The data were analyzed in Microsoft Office Excel 2007
for the preparation of tables contained absolute and percentage values. Results: Between
2004-2013, 502.418 deaths and 112.391.848 hospitalizations were caused by Diabetes. In the
year 2013, of the 58.017 deaths by DM, 55,6% were women, 80% were 60 years old or older,
49,6% were White, 84,8% were of the CID-10 E14 category, 27,8% had 1-3 years of study,
51,6% were single, 38,9% were from the Brazilian southeast. In 2013, of the 140.273
hospitalizations by DM, 55,7% were women, 54,2% were 60 years old or older, 35% were of
unknown breed, and 34,4% were from southeast region. Conclusion: the results reinforce the
tendencies of other studies conducted in other countries, which show the predominance of
older women in the hospitalizations and deaths by DM. The findings show a need for
diffusion and consolidation of preventive strategies, articulated intra and intersectoral, to
provide more adequate coverage of the population, to reduce hospitalizations and deaths, and
the psychosocial and economic impact caused by DM.
