Association between hospitalizations for sensitive conditions and quality of primary care.

Objective: To analyze the association between municipal rates of ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) hospitalization and the quality of primary health care (PHC), socioeconomic, and demographic variables and those related to local characteristics of the health system from 2010 to 2019.

Method: Ecological time series study in Brazilian municipalities analyzing the correlation of ACSC hospitalization rates with PHC quality measured by the three cycles of the Primary Care Access and Program for improving primary care access and quality (PMAQ-AB). The study included municipalities whose teams participated in 80% or more of at least two PMAQ-AB cycles.

[Quality of prehospital fixed components of the Brazilian Emergency and Urgent Care Network: a study based on data from PMAQ-AB and PNASS].

The organization and management of integrated health systems is complex and challenging. As a strategy to improve the quality and access to urgent services, the Brazilian Ministry of Health implemented the Emergency and Urgent Care Network (RUE), comprised of care facilities with different technological levels. Assess the quality of prehospital fixed components of the RUE in health macroregions.

Admissions due to ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSC): an analysis based on socio-demographic characteristics, Brazil and regions, 2010 to 2019.

Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of hospital admissions due to Ambulatory Care-Sensitive Conditions (ACSC) in Brazil per sex, region, cause and age group, from 2010 to 2019.

Methods: This is an ecological study based on the temporal trend of ACSC rates. Standardized rates were analyzed in a simple linear regression and a generalized linear model (GLM) Gamma.

[Assessment of the coordination of primary healthcare: comparison of PMAQ-AB (Brazil) and international references].

This study aimed to compare the results obtained with the coordination of care through the Brazilian National Program for Improvement of Access and Quality of Basic Care (PMAQ-AB), with the parameters adopted by the Care Coordination Measures Atlas and the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies. A cross-sectional study was performed using the dataset from the third cycle of the PMAQ-AB. Three typologies of coordination of care were created: PMAQ-AB, Atlas, and Observatory.
