Resumo: | INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, resulting in a significant burden on healthcare systems and communities. During the pandemic, many healthcare systems redirected resources and personnel to address the COVID-19 response, leading to the interruption or reduction of healthcare services for other diseases, including tuberculosis. This resulted in delays in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of the disease. OBJECTIVE: To assess the epidemiological profile of tuberculosis hospitalizations in Brazil from 2019 to 2023, according to age, gender, age group, and comorbidities. METHODOLOGY: This is a qualitative and quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive study of epidemiological data on tuberculosis hospitalizations in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2023. Data were obtained from the Brazilian Unified Health System Information System (DATASUS). RESULTS: A total of 50,398 tuberculosis hospitalizations were reported, with the highest incidence in 2023, with (n=11898) 23.6%, and the lowest incidence in 2021 with (n=8843) 17.5%. The most affected region was the Southeast region with (n=22560) 44.7% of cases, and the least affected was the Midwest region with (n=2877) 5.7% of cases. The highest prevalence was in young adults aged 20 to 49 years (n=21378) 42.4%, and the lowest prevalence was in childhood and early adolescence aged 1-14 years, with (n=1219) 2.4%. Furthermore, males were the most affected in all years. Regarding race/ethnicity, pardos (mixed-race) represented the majority (n=22716) 45%, followed by whites (n=12524) with 24%, blacks (n=4719) 9.3%, yellows (n=1011) 2%, and indigenous (n=284) 0.5%. CONCLUSION: Tuberculosis is a public health problem in Brazil, predominantly in the Southeast region, affecting more young adult males of mixed race. Tuberculosis hospitalizations were more frequent in the year 2023. These findings underscore the importance of strategies to ensure continuous access to healthcare services for tuberculosis patients even during public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. |

Durante la pandemia, muchos sistemas de salud redirigieron recursos y personal para hacer frente a la respuesta a la COVID-19, lo que llevó a la interrupción o reducción de los servicios de salud para otras enfermedades, incluida la tuberculosis. Esto resultó en retrasos en el diagnóstico, tratamiento y control de la enfermedad. OBJETIVO: Evaluar el perfil epidemiológico de las hospitalizaciones por tuberculosis en Brasil, de 2019 a 2023, según la edad, el género, el grupo de edad y la lista de comorbilidades. METODOLOGÍA: Se trata de un estudio cualitativo y cuantitativo, de carácter transversal y descriptivo, de los datos epidemiológicos de hospitalizaciones por tuberculosis en Brasil durante la pandemia de COVID-19, de 2019 a 2023. Los datos se obtuvieron a través del Sistema de Información de Salud Único (DATASUS). RESULTADOS: Se notificaron 50,398 hospitalizaciones por tuberculosis, con mayor incidencia en el año 2023, con (n=11898) 23.6% y menor incidencia en 2021 con (n=8843) 17.5%. La región más afectada fue la región Sudeste con (n=22560) 44.7% de los casos y la menos afectada fue la región Centro-Oeste con (n=2877) 5.7% de los casos. La mayor prevalencia fue en adultos jóvenes de 20 a 49 años (n=21378) 42.4% y la menor prevalencia en la infancia y adolescencia temprana de 1-14 años, con (n=1219) 2.4%. Además, el sexo masculino fue el más afectado en todos los años. En cuanto a la raza/etnia, los pardos representan la mayoría (n=22716) 45%, seguidos por los blancos (n=12524) con 24%, negros (n=4719) 9.3%, amarillos (n=1011) 2% e indígenas (n=284) 0.5%. CONCLUSIÓN: La tuberculosis es un problema de salud pública en Brasil, predominantemente en la región Sudeste, afectando más a adultos jóvenes del sexo masculino y pardos. Las hospitalizaciones por tuberculosis fueron más frecuentes en los años 2023. Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de estrategias para garantizar el acceso continuo a los servicios de salud para pacientes con tuberculosis incluso durante crisis de salud pública, como la pandemia de COVID-19.INTRODUÇÃO: A tuberculose é uma das principais causas de morbimortalidade em todo o mundo, resultando em um grande ônus para os sistemas de saúde e as comunidades. Durante a pandemia, muitos sistemas de saúde redirecionaram recursos e pessoal para lidar com a resposta à COVID-19, o que levou à interrupção ou redução dos serviços de saúde para outras doenças, incluindo a tuberculose. Isso resultou em atrasos no diagnóstico, tratamento e controle da doença. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o perfil epidemiológico das internações por tuberculose no Brasil, de 2019 a 2023, conforme idade, gênero, faixa etária, e lista de morbidades. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo, de caráter transversal e descritivo, dos dados epidemiológicos de internações por tuberculose, no Brasil durante a pandemia da Covid-19, de 2019 a 2023. Os dados foram obtidos através do Sistema de Informática do SUS (DATASUS). RESULTADOS: Foram notificadas 50.398 internações por tuberculose, com maior índice no ano de 2023, com (n=11898) 23,6% e menor índice em 2021 com (n=8843) 17,5%. A região mais acometida foi a região Sudeste com (n=22560) 44,7% dos casos e a menos acometida região Centro-Oeste com (n=2877) 5,7% dos casos. A maior prevalência foi em adultos jovens dos 20 aos 49 anos (n=21378) 42,4% e a menor prevalência na infância e início da adolescência de 1-14 anos, com com (n=1219) 2,4%. Ademais, o sexo masculino foi o mais acometido em todos os anos. Em relação a cor/raça, os pardos representam maior parte (n=22716) 45%, seguido dos brancos (n=12524) com 24%, pretos (n=4719) 9,3%, amarelos (n=1011) 2% e indígenas (n=284) 0,5%. CONCLUSÃO: A tuberculose é um problema de saúde pública no Brasil, predominantemente na região Sudeste, acometendo mais adultos jovens do sexo masculino, pardos. As internações por tuberculose foram mais frequentes nos anos de 2023.
