Resumo: ABSTRACT - The COVID-19 pandemic forced a concerted response from health services to lead to a reduction in care activity. It is a strategy to respond to this health problem centered on clinical provision and, simultaneously, on the protection of the community and health professionals. However, the direct and indirect impact on eye care is still unclear. Objective: To characterize the impact of COVID-19 in the complementary means of diagnosis and treatment (MCDT) at the ophthalmology service of a monovalent hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional study to quantify MCDT production before and after the reorganization of the services by COVID-19. Through the consultation of the informatics records of the Dr. Gama Pinto Institute of Ophthalmology (IOGP), the different MCDTs carried out in support of the care practice in the same period of 30 days (March 11 to April 11) of 2019 were compared to 2020. Results: In the study period, there was a marked decrease with mean values of 93.5% (general consultations of Ophthalmology and Pediatric Ophthalmology) and about 76.8% (Retinal Vitreous Consultations, Ocular Diabetes, Genetics, and Visual Impairment and Rehabilitation). Discussion/Conclusion: The sharp drop in clinical production due to the COVID-19 pandemic will require a reorganization of health services in order to respond to postponed clinical situations and, simultaneously, to respond to COVID-19 ophthalmological sequelae that are unknown as retinal toxicity due to the use of chloroquine and/or hydroxychloroquine.

É uma estratégia de resposta a este problema de saúde centrada na prestação clínica e, simultaneamente, na proteção da comunidade e profissionais de saúde. No entanto, o impacto direto e indireto na saúde ocular ainda não é claro. Objetivo: Caracterizar o impacto do COVID-19 nos meios complementares de diagnóstico e tratamento (MCDT) do serviço de oftalmologia de um hospital monovalente. Métodos: Estudo transversal para a quantificação da produção de MCDT antes e pós a reorganização dos serviços pelo COVID-19. Através da consulta dos registos informáticos do Instituto de Oftalmologia Dr. Gama Pinto (IOGP) foi feito o registo dos diferentes MCDT realizados em apoio à prática assistencial em período homólogo de 30 dias (11 de março a 11 de abril) de 2019 comparativamente a 2020. Resultados: Durante o período estudado observou-se uma diminuição acentuada com valores médios a oscilar entre os 93,5% (consultas geral de oftalmologia e oftalmologia pediátrica) e os cerca de 76,8% (consultas de retina-vítreo, diabetes ocular, genética e deficiência visual e reabilitação). Discussão/Conclusão: A queda abrupta da produção clínica devido à pandemia do COVID-19 vai obrigar a uma reorganização dos serviços de saúde de forma a responder às situações clínicas adiadas e, simultaneamente, a responder a sequelas oftalmológicas do COVID-19 que estão por conhecer, como a toxidade retiniana pelo uso de cloroquina e/ou hidroxicloroquina.Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa, Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde de LisboaRCIPLCamacho, PedroSalgueiro, L.Barrão, SandraBrito, Ricardo2021-01-06T17:01:24Z2020-122020-12-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/12580engCamacho P, Salgueiro L, Barrão S, Brito R.
