Description
Summary:to characterize hospitalizations for sensitive conditions to primary care of a regional hospital in the Federal District. this is a descriptive study, such as case series that considered users admitted between 2008 and 2012 in the Regional Hospital of Ceilândia.

Female and elderly patients showed a higher frequency of hospitalizations. the results may help managers and health professionals to implement actions that aim higher solvability of primary care, and contribute to the systematization of nursing care and improved health care.
