Results We recorded a total cost up to 660 million dollars in the whole period of study, from asthma hospitalization. The annual cost in Brazil is about 44 million dollars/ year, which represents about 164.13 dollars for each event. Duration of a hospitalization in our country means 3,2 days per event, varying from 2,7 to 4,4 days. These costs varied from USD 50,476,829 in 2000 to USD 34,369,568 in 2012. Comparing the Brazilian regions, only at extreme years 1998 and 2012, the total cost due to asthma hospitalization were, respectively: Midwest (USD 3,246,138 and USD 3,837,184), South (USD 7,726,774 and USD 5,097,261) Southeast (USD 11,330,123 and USD 8,697,415), North (USD 2,762,194 and USD 3,837,184) and Northeast (USD 14,638,311 and USD 14,246,062). Difference between first and last years of analysis suggests decline at cost in all Brazilian regions, except North (one of the poorest region in Brazil).
