Objective: To estimate the prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, and to evaluate the average costs of hospitalizations for complications resulting from inadequate disease control. Methods: A cross-sectional study analyzed the prevalence and economic impact of systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus in Goiânia and metropolitan region from 2008 to 2017. We surveyed the referred diagnosis and average cost of hospitalizations due to complications of the two diseases from the following: Surveillance of Risk Factors and Protection for Chronic Diseases by Telephone and Hospital Inpatient Surveys of the Unified Health System. Results: The prevalence rate of both diseases was higher in women, ranging from 34.31% for systemic arterial hypertension and 8.64% for diabetes mellitus between 2008 and 2017. Concerning men, there was a variation of 28.88% for hypertension and 8.55% for diabetes mellitus.

Conclusão: As taxas de prevalência de hipertensão arterial sistêmica e diabetes mellitus em adultos residentes de Goiânia e região metropolitana mostrou-se elevada durante o perÃodo analisado. Também verificou-se custo médio elevado nas internações hospitalares associadas a complicações da doença. Os achados deste estudo sugerem a necessidade de ações de vigilância em saúde, visando a estruturação de estratégias de prevenção, estÃmulo a adesão ao tratamento e controle da hipertensão arterial sistêmica e diabetes mellitus.
