Abstract
Objetivos: Describir las tasas de hospitalización y la morbilidad hospitalaria de la población extranjera residente en Aragón, según el país de nacimiento, entre 2004 y 2007, y compararlas con las de la población autóctona. Métodos: Estudio longitudinal retrospectivo de las altas hospitalarias de la población extranjera en los hospitales públicos de Aragón. Las tasas de utilización se estimaron según variables de sexo, edad, país de nacimiento y diagnóstico principal. Para la estimación de la razón de tasas (RT) de utilización y sus intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC95%) se utilizó la regresión de Poisson. Resultados: Las tasas siempre fueron más bajas en la población extranjera (RT ajustada [RTa]: 0,52; IC95%: 0,51-0,56), excepto en el grupo de mujeres entre 15 y 24 años de edad (RT: 2,9; IC95%: 2,8-3,0) y en las nacidas en el Magreb (RTa: 1,8; IC95%: 1,7-1,9), África Subsahariana (RTa: 2,0; IC95%: 1,9-2,1) y Asia (RTa: 1,4; IC95%: 1,3-1,6). Excluyendo las altas hospitalarias por motivos gineco-obstétricos, sólo las mujeres nacidas en África Subsahariana siguieron teniendo RTa superiores a 1. Estas mujeres presentaron tasas de hospitalización mayores en los grupos de enfermedades infecciosas y parasitarias (RTa: 2,5; IC95%: 1,9-3,3) y de la sangre y hematopoyéticas (RTa: 2,8; IC95%: 1,9-4,1). Conclusiones: En Aragón, los extranjeros utilizan menos los hospitales públicos que la población autóctona. El perfil de morbilidad atendida varía según el país de nacimiento. Las enfermedades prevalentes en sus países de nacimiento, junto con las enfermedades hereditarias, pueden ocasionar una mayor tasa de utilización hospitalaria.
Objectives: To describe hospitalization rates and hospital morbidity among the foreign population residing in Aragon (Spain) by country of birth, between 2004 and 2007, and to compare these rates with those in the autochthonous population. Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was carried out of hospital discharges of the foreign population in public hospitals in Aragon. Utilization rates were estimated by sex, age, country of birth and main diagnosis. Poisson regression was used to estimate the utilization rate ratios and their 95% confidence intervals. Results: Hospitalization rates were lower in the foreign population (adjusted RR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.51-0.56), except in women aged between 15 and 24years (RR: 2.9; 95% CI: 2.8-3.0) and among those born in the Maghreb (RR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.7; 1.9), sub-Saharan Africa (RR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.9-2.1) and Asia (RR=1.4; 95% CI: 1.3-1.6). When hospital discharges related to obstetrics and gynecology were excluded, only women born in sub-Saharan Africa continued to have adjusted RR greater than 1. These women had higher hospitalization rates in groups of infectious and parasitic diseases (RR: 2.5) and blood and blood-forming organs (RR: 2.8). Conclusions: In Aragon (Spain), public hospital utilization is lower in foreigners than in the autochthonous population. The diseases treated varied by country of birth. The diseases prevalent in these countries, together with hereditary diseases, can increase hospital utilization rates.
