Resumo: Introduction: Morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19 constitutes a global public health problem, in Argentina and the Buenos Aires province. Populations with social vulnerability have a fragility which exposes them to grater risks.. Objective: To characterize the social vulnerability of a series of confirmed cases that reside in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Variables of gender, age, evolution and domicile were analyzed and categorized through the Socio-Territorial Vulnerability Index (STVI). Results: the age of the cases was between 20 and 59 years, 48% was female and the remaining male. 47% of the cases were from vulnerable areas. Hospitalizations were 28% of the cases, the majority from non-vulnerable areas. 3.8% of the cases reached intensive care. Vulnerable cases had a greater need for intensive care. The fatality rate was 2.4% and higher in men. After age 60, the fatality excess in vulnerable areas was statistically significant. Discussion: Among the cases, there were no important differences between residents of vulnerable and non-vulnerable areas. The differences were marked in severity (measured by ICU admission) and in the fatality rate of those over 60 years old, which was higher in vulnerable areas. Vulnerability was expressed in the evolution of the disease in those over 60 years of age.

Las poblaciones con vulnerabilidad social poseen una fragilidad que las expone a riesgos de manera potenciada. Objetivo: Caracterizar la vulnerabilidad social de una serie de casos confirmados con residencia en el Área Metropolitana Buenos Aires. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. Fueron analizadas variables de sexo, edad, evolución y domicilio categorizadas por medio del Índice de Vulnerabilidad Socio Territorial. Resultados: la edad de los casos fue entre 20 y 59 años, el sexo fue un 48% mujeres y el restante varones. De zonas vulnerables hubo un 47% de casos. Las internaciones fueron el 28% de los casos, la mayoría de zonas no vulnerables. Llegaron a cuidados intensivos el 3,8% de los casos. Los casos con vulnerabilidad tuvieron mayor requerimiento de cuidados intensivos.  La letalidad fue de 2,4% y fue mayor en varones. A partir de los 60 años el exceso de letalidad en zonas vulnerables fue estadísticamente significativo. Discusión: Entre los casos no hubo diferencias importantes entre los residentes de zonas vulnerables y no vulnerables. Las diferencias estuvieron marcadas en la gravedad (medido por internación en UCI) y letalidad de los mayores de 60 años que fue mayor en zonas vulnerables. La vulnerabilidad se expresó en la evolución de la enfermedad de los mayores de 60 años.Introdução: A morbi mortalidade pela COVID-19 constitue um problema de saúde pública na Argentina e na provincia de Buenos Aires. A população com vulnerabilidade social possui uma fragilidade que expoe-as de maneira potenciada. Objetivos: Caraterizar a vulnerabilidade social de uma serie de casos confirmados com residencia na area metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Métodos: Estudo descritivo de corte transversal. Foram analisadas varaiveis de sexo, idade, evolução e domicilio categorizado por medio do índice de de Vulnerabilidade Socio territorial (IVST). Resultados: A idade dos casos foi entre 20 e 59 anos, o sexo femenino acumulou um 48% dos casos e o restante foram homens. Das zonas vulneraveis houve um 47% dos casos. As inernações foram o 28% dos casos, a maioria de casos não vulneráveis. Foram encaminhados para terapia intensiva o 3,8% dos casos. Os casos vulneraveis tiveram maior requerimento de cuidados intensivos. A letalidade foi de 2,4% e foi maior nos homens. A partir de 60 anos, o excesso da letalidade foi em casos com residência em zonas vulneráveis e isto foi estatisticamente significativo. Conclusões: Entre os casos não se acharam diferenças importantes com relaçáo à vulnerabilidade. As diferenças estiveram marcadas na gravidade dos casos onde os maiores de 60 anos requeriram maiores cuidados intensivos e foi mais elevada a letalidade. A vulnerabilidade expressou-se na evolução da doença.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-09-04info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/117910.1590/SciELOPreprints.1179spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/1179/1783Copyright (c) 2020 Malena Gonzalez, Lucía Ameri, Laura Muñoz, Juan Pedro Luzuriaga, Marina Pifano, Vanesa Velázquez, Betina Zucchino, Mariana Specogna, Santiago Pesci, Enio Garcia, Yamila Comeshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonzalez, MalenaAmeri, LucíaMuñoz, LauraLuzuriaga, Juan PedroPifano, Marina Velázquez, Vanesa Zucchino, BetinaSpecogna, MarianaPesci, SantiagoGarcia, EnioComes, Yamilareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-09-03T18:54:48Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/1179Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-09-03T18:54:48SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse
