Background: Polyneuropathy is the simultaneous dysfunction of several peripheral nerves that normally occurs as a result of diabetes. Objectives: To analyze the current panorama of treatment of polyneuropathies performed in the State of São Paulo and to correlate with the epidemiology. Methods: literature review and observational, descriptive and transversal data collect on treatment of polyneuropathies, available at DATASUS from January 2008 to December 2020, assessing the number of hospitalizations, the amount of public spending, complexity, mortality rate, deaths, permanence and character of service, and articles available in Scielo, Lilacs and PubMed. Results: There were 19,099 hospitalizations for polyneuropathy treatment procedures with a total expense of R$ 21,870,767.84, with 2014 being the year with the highest number of hospitalizations (1,740) and with the highest amount spent (R$ 2,034,880.25) . Of the total procedures, 3,732 were carried out on an elective basis and 15,362 in urgency, with 5,774 in the public sector and 6,396 in the private sector. All 19,099 considered to be of medium complexity. The total mortality rate was 1.63, corresponding to 312 deaths, with 2020 being the year with the highest mortality rate, 2.42, while 2014 had the lowest rate, 1.26. The mortality rate for elective procedures was 0.38 compared to 1.94 for urgent procedures, whereas in the public sector it was 1.25 compared to 1.77 for the private sector. The average total hospital stay was 9.3 days, with an average cost of R$ 1,145.13. Conclusion: Polyneuropathy is a disease that has a low mortality rate.
