Abstract

Cross-sectional study, aiming to verify if the number of evaluation days influences the classification scores of the complexity level of patients
in the hospital units. The sample included 151 adult patients hospitalized between July and August 2014, generating 920 ratings. The Perroca
scale was applied throughout two periods, at 5 and 20 evaluation days and the variables were analyzed using Generalized Estimating Equation.
There was no statistically significant difference in the level of complexity of care comparing the two periods (p = 0.72). It was observed that the
evaluated patients had a high level of care complexity. The application of an instrument to classify patients is a key knowledge to the demand
of care and nursing activities. The application of the proposed Perroca scale in 5 days enables the development and systematization of this
activity in nursing practice.
