Abstract

Objectives: To clinically evaluate and to classify patients according to the risk of new hospitalizations with type 2 diabetes after hospitalization for primary care sensitive condition. Methods: Patients were assessed after 18 months of hospitalization. A questionnaire with socio-demographic and clinical questions was applied, as well as clinical and laboratory evaluation, and electrocardiogram. A score based on the sum of cardiovascular risk, chronic kidney disease and diabetic foot was developed. A linear regression model was fitted to evaluate age and sex as factors associated with an increased likelihood of higher scores. Results: 37 patients were interviewed from the 98 eligible patients. The mortality rate 18 months after discharge was 32.6% (32/98). Males and aging were presented as factors associated with a higher risk of complications. After comparison, men had 3.89 more points in the score than women and every year of age represented an increase of 16 points. Discussion: Patients who were hospitalized for complications sensitive to primary care presented a high mortality, clinical and serious condition at high risk for the development of new complications and worsening of existing ones. Conclusion: The results point to a risk in which the hospital did not represent a change in clinical management of these patients, showing the lack of dialogue between tertiary and primary care.
