Background: Muscular dystrophies are degenerative and genetic diseases characterized by progressive weakness and muscle atrophies. Objectives: To analyze the current panorama of muscular dystrophy treatment procedures performed in the State of São Paulo, correlating it with current epidemiology. Methods: literature review and observational, descriptive, and transversal data collect on the treatment of muscular dystrophies, available on the DATASUS website, from January 2008 to December 2020, and articles from Scielo and PubMed. Results: There were 2,600 hospitalizations with a total expenditure of R$ 28,004,202.59, with 2015 being the year with the highest number of hospitalizations (248), although 2014 was the year responsible for the highest amount spent during the period (R$ 2,858,500 , 87). Of the total procedures, 1,849 were carried out on an elective basis and 749 were urgent, with 1,330 occurring in the public sector and 286 in the private sector. The total mortality rate was 1.08, corresponding to 28 deaths, with 2016 being the year with the highest mortality rate, 4.91, while 2014 had the lowest rate, 0.41. The mortality rate for elective procedures was 0.54 compared to 2.40 for urgent procedures, whereas in the public sector it was 0.53 compared to 1.75 for the private sector. The average total hospital stay was 27.7 days, with an average cost of R$ 10,770.85. Conclusion: the treatment of muscular dystrophies usually occurs in an elective regime and in the public sector, with the mortality rate being lower in the public service compared to the private one.
