Cancer figures among the leading causes of morbidity and
mortality in Brazil. Overall, 600,000 new cancer cases and
200,000 deaths are estimated to occur annually in Brazil.
Yearly around 1.2 million deaths were reported to the
Brazilian Mortality Information System, being 16.2% of these
related to people living with cancer.
The hospital admission procedure for “Treatment of Clinical
Intercurrences of Oncological Patients” is related to a
complication of the disease or its treatment, predictable or
not, which requires hospitalization in specialized, general or
day hospitals, for control of the complication.
Between 2008 and 2017, there were more than 6.7 million
hospitalizations (6,746,226) related to cancer in Brazil. Of all
the hospital admissions of cancer patients, 1,895,735 (28%)
were related to clinic intercurrences of the disease.
According to the retrospective analysis of hospital admissions
of cancer patients, data recorded in the Hospital Information
System of SUS, approximately 90% of the hospital admissions
made in the procedure “Treatment of Clinics Intercurrences of
Cancer Patient” were related to palliative care for terminally
ill patients.
Through the hospital admissions of cancer patients in the
procedure“TreatmentofClinicalIntercurrencesofOncological
Patients”,we canestimatepatientswith indicationof palliative
care at the end of life, as well as identify parameters for the
estimated need for cancer palliative care hospital beds. In
this regard, we propose studies to size the target population,
the demand and supply of health services, the level of
attention required by selecting, to that, certain items likely
to comparability between national and international data
parameters, such as utilization of palliative care services, the
prevalence of pain and other symptoms. Also, further study
of hospital procedure “Treatment of Clinical Intercurrences
of Oncological Patients” should be considered as a parameter
for scaling of palliative care services in Brazil.
