Resumen
BARBOSA MARQUES, Antonio Dean; SALES DA SILVA, Lucilane Maria; MAGALHAES MOREIRA, Thereza Maria y MARTINS TORRES, Raimundo Augusto. Association between hospitalization due to diabetes mellitus and diabetic foot amputation. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.51, pp.238-266. Epub 01-Jul-2018. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.17.3.286181.
Objective:
To analyze the association between the number of people hospitalized for diabetes and the number of people with limb amputation.
Method:
This is an ecological study using the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System (SIH / SUS) from 2010 to 2015 in the state of Ceará, Brazil. The data were analyzed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Pearson's linear correlation coefficient was applied to measure the intensity of the linear association between the variables.
Results:
There were 27,054 hospital admissions for diabetes. There was an inverse correlation between the number of admissions for treatment of diabetes and proportional correlation of the number of hospitalizations for complicated foot treatment and hospitalization for limb amputations.
Conclusion:
The data reveal a thin line regarding the health care of the person with diabetic foot.
