Popis: Background: Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative and progressive disease, with an unknown origin that can lead to functional incapacity and decreased quality of life. Objectives: Analyze the number of hospital admissions for Parkinson’s Disease in the Southeast of Brazil. Design and setting: Transversal, descriptive Epidemiologic study between the years of 2011 and 2020 in the Southeast of Brazil. Methods: Study realized using data from the Department of Information of the Brazilian Health System (DATASUS). The variables researched were hospital admissions, age, and year. Results: In the Southeast region, in the determined period, there was an average of 405 hospital admissions per year, an average growth of 4% between the years of 2011 and 2019. However, in 2020, there was a 30% decrease compared to the previous year. It was also observed that in the gap ages between 40 to 49 and 50 to 59 years old, there was a significant increase in the number of hospital admissions. In addition, the age gap between 50 to 80 or more represents an average of 90.88% of all the hospital admissions of the last decade. Conclusion: In the Southeast of Brazil, Parkinson’s Disease had a noticeable absolute reduction of the total admissions analyzed in the last year and a deviation in the average growth of the other years, meaning a possible relation with the COVID-19 pandemic.
