Abstract

Objective: To analyze trends in morbidity and mortality rates due to intracranial trauma in the state of Piauí from 2014 to 2024. Methodology: This was an epidemiological, documentary, quantitative, descriptive and retrospective study carried out in DATASUS, through the SUS Hospital Information System, from 2014 to 2024. Results: The vast majority of care was emergency, totaling 26,532 cases (99.9%). During this period, the mortality rate was higher in males (10.69%), who also had a longer average hospital stay (6.2 days versus 5.7 days in females). The average cost of hospitalization per day was R$1,713.42 for men and R$1,511.81 for women, resulting in a total expenditure of R$29,506,886.25 and R$6,181,106.74, respectively. The age group from 40 to 59 years had the longest average length of hospital stay (6.5 days), while patients aged 80 years or older had the highest average cost (R$2,062.50). The age group from 20 to 39 years generated the highest total expenditure (R$14,488,049.63). Conclusion: it was possible to observe a high demand for emergency care, a higher incidence and mortality in males, in addition to high hospital costs.
