Chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis are at high risk of intercurrent events, such as infections, cardiovascular complications, and vascular access issues, which often lead to hospitalizations and increase morbidity, mortality, and SUS healthcare costs. Despite universal coverage, few analyses exist on the frequency, types of events, and regional variations. This study examines the frequency, characteristics, and regional distribution of these admissions in Brazil.
This retrospective quantitative study used data from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SIH/SUS), available through DATASUS/Tabnet, covering the period from January 2014 to 2024. We analyzed hospital admission authorizations (AIHs) related to patients with CKD undergoing dialysis. Variables included number of admissions, approved AIHs, total and average costs, length of stay, mortality, and related indicators, stratified by region, state, and municipality. Descriptive statistics were applied, with temporal and regional comparisons.
Between January 2014 and July 2025, a total of 79,224 hospital admissions (HA) for CKD patients under dialytic treatment were recorded with 5,530 deaths. The total expenditure for these HA reached approximately US$ 29,972,631, with a mean cost per admission (MCA) of US$ 379 and an overall average hospital stay of 8.3 days. Regional analysis revealed disparities: Southeast concentrated the largest healthcare burden, accounting for 40,341 admissions and 3,113 deaths, with a total expenditure of US$ 17,952,732 and a MCA of US$ 444.71, while patients stayed on average 9.36 days. The Northeast, although having fewer admissions (19,418) and lower total expenditure (US$ 5,039,709), presented a notable number of deaths (1,161) and a shorter mean hospital stay of 6.28 days, indicating a substantial disease burden relative to resources used. The North had the lowest number of admissions (881 patients) and deaths (49), with a total expenditure of US$ 226,494, a MCA of US$ 257.96, and an average hospital stay of 9.63 days.
Between January 2014 and July 2025, a significant impact of Chronic Kidney Disease requiring dialysis on the Brazilian healthcare system was observed. During this period, there were 79,224 hospital admissions and 5,530 deaths, generating a total cost of approximately USD 30 million. The average length of hospital stay was 8.3 days, with an estimated cost of USD 379 per admission. When analyzing the regional distribution, the Southeast was the most affected region, followed by the Northeast and then the North. This was evidenced by the higher number of admissions, deaths, and total costs in the Southeast, which may reflect both a greater demand for specialized healthcare services and a larger population. In contrast, the Northeast showed lower numbers of hospitalizations and total costs but higher mortality rates and shorter hospital stays, which may indicate deficiencies in healthcare delivery, such as limited access, inefficient care, and uneven resource distribution. In the North, all evaluated indicators were lower, likely due to underreporting and limited access to dialysis treatment.
