SUMMARY:

This dissertation aims to study hospital admissions due to intestinal infectious diseases in childhood, considered a public health problem, seeking to capture the socioeconomic determinants that directly impact the development of diseases in Brazilian minucipalities. Thus, it sought to detect the determinants of hospital admissions in the period from 2010 to 2015, using data obtained from the DATASUS and PNUD portal. To meet the objective of the study, descriptive statistics were used using the Quantile Regression model. It was found that hospital admissions have an irreparable harm in children under five years of age, because the child’s immune system is still fragile and not fully informed, it was identified that the lowest average rate of hospitalizations are in the South and Southeast regions and the highest rates of hospitalizations per region are in the North and Northeast because they are socioeconomically disadvantaged regions, wait for other regions and that even with incentives for health programs aimed at children, we still have a considerable number of hospitalizations in the country. The results found show that the variables that directly impact the increase in hospitalizations for this population group are: per capita income, the gini index, the percentage of children in households where no one has completed elementary school, the percentage of people in households whit inadequate water supply and sanitation, percentage of urban population, number of resident physicians per thousand inhabitants, number of resident nurses per thousand inhabitants and number of hospital beds per thousand resident inhabitants. These variables had a major impact on the number of childhood hospitalizations in Brazilian municipalities.
