Abstract

In recent decades, Brazil has experienced a significant change in its morbidity and mortality profile, with chronic non-communicable diseases taking the lead as the main causes of death. Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is one of these chronic diseases with great impact, being one of the main reasons for hospitalizations and mortality in the country. The main objective of this work is to analyze the epidemiological profile of patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of stroke. This study is a descriptive epidemiological review, ecological and cross-sectional in nature, based on a quantitative approach. We used information obtained from the Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), focused on hospitalized patients (CVA). A total of 776,433 hospital admissions were observed, highlighting the prevalence of the southeast region leading the numbers of cases with (329,491) and the year 2022 with (206,751). Based on the data mentioned, it is concluded that the vast majority of patients hospitalized due to stroke are men, coming from the southeast region of the country and receiving emergency care. In this regard, it is crucial to increase knowledge and identification of this topic to improve patient management. Furthermore, public policies are necessary to promote early diagnosis and implement effective prevention measures.
