title: [Sensitive female-specific hospitalization in primary care].
abstract: The scope of this paper was to analyze female-specific sensitive hospitalization occurring in primary care conditions and factors that determine or affect the occurrence of such hospitalizations (social, economic and demographic factors; health control). Analysis was performed by surveys on hospital morbidity with a sample of 429 females attended in Unified Health System (SUS) contracted hospitals. The sensitive hospitalizations percentage in primary care reached 49.42% (n = 212), highlighting female-specific hospitalization at 19.35% (n = 83). Hospitalization risks comprised elderly people over sixty, low schooling, previous hospitalizations, normal health control, lack of association with the Family Health Strategy and pregnancy. Evident causes were related to conditions of pregnancy, childbirth, post-partum and inflammations of the female pelvic organs. Results suggested flaws in outpatient attendance that should be adequate and provide solutions in women's health.
