Resumen

REYES SIGARRETA, Migdalia Rafaela; GARRIDO GARCIA, Rolando José; VILLAN, María Teresa  y  DIAZ CASTELLON, María de los Ángeles. Distribución de las principales causas de morbilidad por ingresos domiciliarios en el municipio Cerro durante el año 2000. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2003, vol.19, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3038.

A descriptive qualitative study was carried out with a representative sample from the home care services given in the health areas of Cerro municipality to children and adults in the year 2000 to determine the morbidity causes and their distribution by health areas. For gathering information, the fundamental technique used was data collection in questionnaires and the worksheet of physicians working in various polyclinics and the home care service register as sources of information. The data analysis used percentage as a measure of frequency and such information was shown in statistical tables. It was found that the higher number of home care services by health area corresponded to "Antonio Maceo" polyclinics both in children and adults, and the time when more home care services were provided in the health areas was the months of climatic changes, which was related to the main causes of morbidity (respiratory diseases, diarrheas and blood hypertension).
