All data were obtained from the DataSUS platform. Results: Most of them are female (58.5%), aged between 20 and 29 years old (22.5%). The prevalent type of care was urgent / emergency (85%) and the biggest reason for hospitalization is related to pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (24.9%). There was also underreporting in relation to the hospitalization regime, whether public or private. Conclusion: In the metropolitan region of Belém, young women are the largest number of hospitalizations, a fact that is mainly due to the high number of hospitalizations related to pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium, thus characterizing this profile of hospitalizations.
