Resumo: | Objective: To determine the variation of the epidemiological indicators of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) based on the public health emergency policies adopted by the South American countries. Material and methods: Ecological study where information is collected from 12 South American countries regarding the number of total cases per day, number of new cases, growth rate and case fatality rate with respect to COVID-19, until March 28, 2020. The emergency policies affected by the states were registered, which was verified by the residents of the affected countries. The data was stored in an Excel database and analysed in the STATA software. Results: The first countries to adopt emergency policies in South America adopted it when not many days have passed since the first confirmed case of COVID-19. Likewise, those countries that adopted measures in less than 11 days adopted a lower coefficient of growth of total cases and a lower-case fatality rate. Finally, the average growth rate in South America showed a considerable decrease during the first week, and then remained slightly constant until the selected date. Conclusion: The countries that adopted emergency policies 11 days or more from the first case of COVID-19 were those that presented a coefficient of growth of total cases and a higher case fatality rate. The growth of cases in South America has decreased since the first cases were registered. |

Material y métodos: Estudio ecológico donde se recopiló información de 12 países sudamericanos respecto al número de casos totales por día, número de casos nuevos, coeficiente de crecimiento y tasa de letalidad respecto al COVID-19, hasta el 28 de marzo del 2020. Asimismo, se registraron las políticas de emergencia adoptadas por lo Estados, la cual fue verificada por residentes de los países considerados. Los datos fueron almacenados en una base Excel y analizados en el software STATA. Resultados: Los primeros países en adoptar políticas de emergencia en Sudamérica lo realizaron cuando no habían transcurrido muchos días desde el primer caso confirmado de COVID-19. Asimismo, aquellos países que adoptaron medidas en menos de 11 días presentaron un menor coeficiente de crecimiento de casos totales y una menor tasa de letalidad. Finalmente, el coeficiente de crecimiento promedio en Sudamérica presentó un descenso considerable durante la primera semana, para luego mantenerse ligeramente constante hasta la fecha evaluada. Conclusión: Los países que adoptaron políticas de emergencia a 11 días o más desde el primer caso de COVID-19 fueron aquellos que presentan un mayor coeficiente de crecimiento de casos totales y mayor tasa de letalidad. El crecimiento de casos en Sudamérica ha presentado un descenso desde que se registraron los primeros casos.Objetivo: Determinar a variação dos indicadores epidemiológicos do novo coronavírus (COVID-19) com base nas políticas de emergência em saúde pública adotadas pelos países da América do Sul. Material e métodos: Estudo ecológico em que foram coletadas informações de 12 países da América do Sul sobre o número total de casos por dia, número de novos casos, taxa de crescimento e taxa de mortalidade em casos em relação ao COVID-19, até 28 de março de 2020. , foram registradas as políticas de emergência adotadas pelos Estados, verificadas pelos moradores dos países considerados. Os dados foram armazenados em um banco de dados Excel e analisados no software STATA. Resultados: Os primeiros países a adotar políticas de emergência na América do Sul o fizeram quando poucos dias se passaram desde o primeiro caso confirmado de COVID-19. Da mesma forma, os países que adotaram medidas em menos de 11 dias apresentaram menor taxa de crescimento do total de casos e menor taxa de fatalidade. Finalmente, o coeficiente médio de crescimento na América do Sul mostrou uma queda considerável durante a primeira semana, permanecendo ligeiramente constante até a data avaliada. Conclusão: Os países que adotaram políticas de emergência por 11 dias ou mais desde o primeiro caso de COVID-19 foram os que apresentaram a maior taxa de crescimento do total de casos e a maior taxa de fatalidade. O crescimento de casos na América do Sul tem mostrado uma queda desde que os primeiros casos foram registrados.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-04-24info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/16110.1590/SciELOPreprints.161spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/161/191Copyright (c) 2020 Victor Moquillaza-Alcántara, Anthony Romero-Cerdán, Oscar Munares-García, Eugenio Merellano-Navarrohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoquillaza-Alcántara, VictorRomero-Cerdán, AnthonyMunares-García, OscarMerellano-Navarro, Eugenioreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-04-23T19:54:45Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/161Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-04-23T19:54:45SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse |
