Resumo: | Aims: To characterize the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of older adults infected with COVID-19 during the period from March 2020 to February 2022 in the city of Tubarao, Santa Catarina. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with 3919 older adults who had an infection by COVID-19 registered in a database maintained by the Health Foundation of this city. Results: Among this population, the hospitalization rate was 14.8% and the case fatality rate corresponded to 7.7%. Women were more diagnosed with COVID-19 (53.9%), while men were more associated with poor clinical outcomes, accounting for 56.5% of deaths. The most frequent symptom was cough (30.8%), followed by myalgia (22.4%) and headache (20.8%). The most common comorbidity, arterial hypertension, was linked to a higher risk of death. Conclusions: Aging showed its ability to provoke several changes in the response to coronavirus, increasing hospitalization and case fatality rates. The negative effect of the observed comorbidities possibly influenced such results, raising an alert about the need for treatment of chronic diseases and their prevention. |

Metodología: Se realizó un estudio transversal, analizando 3919 notificaciones de adultos mayores que presentaron infección por COVID-19, registrados en una base de datos que mantiene la Fundación de Salud de este municipio. Resultados: Entre toda la población anciana, la tasa de hospitalización fue de 14,8% y la tasa de letalidad correspondió a 7,7%. Las mujeres fueron diagnosticadas con mayor frecuencia con COVID-19 (53,9 %), mientras que los hombres estuvieron más asociados con un resultado negativo, lo que representa el 56,5 % de las muertes. El síntoma más frecuente fue la tos (30,8%), seguido de mialgias (22,4%) y cefalea (20,8%). La comorbilidad más frecuente fue la hipertensión arterial, que estadísticamente se relaciona con un mayor riesgo de muerte. Conclusiones: El envejecimiento ha demostrado su capacidad para provocar diversos cambios en la respuesta al coronavirus, observándose altas tasas de hospitalización y letalidad. El efecto negativo de las comorbilidades observadas posiblemente inflaron dichas tasas, alertando sobre la necesidad de un tratamiento adecuado de las enfermedades crónicas y su prevención.Objetivos: Descrever o perfil clínico-epidemiológico de pacientes idosos infectados pela COVID-19 durante o período de março de 2020 a fevereiro de 2022 no município de Tubarão, Santa Catarina. Métodos: Foi realizado estudo transversal, sendo analisadas 3919 notificações de idosos que tiveram a infecção pela COVID-19, registrados em banco de dados mantido pela Fundação de Saúde deste município. Resultados: Entre toda a população idosa, a taxa de hospitalização foi de 14,8% e a taxa de letalidade correspondeu a 7,7%. As mulheres foram mais frequentemente diagnosticadas com COVID-19 (53,9%), enquanto homens foram mais associados a desfecho negativo, representando 56,5% dos óbitos. O sintoma mais frequente foi a tosse (30,8%), seguido por mialgia (22,4%) e cefaleia (20,8%). A comorbidade mais encontrada foi a hipertensão arterial, estando estatisticamente ligada à maior risco de morte. Conclusões: O envelhecimento provou sua capacidade de provocar várias alterações na resposta ao coronavírus, notando-se altas taxas de hospitalização e letalidade. O efeito negativo das comorbidades observadas possivelmente inflou tais índices, acendendo um alerta sobre a necessidade do adequado tratamento das doenças crônicas e da prevenção destas.Research, Society and Development2022-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3385110.33448/rsd-v11i11.33851Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 11; e502111133851Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 11; e502111133851Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 11; e5021111338512525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/33851/28650Copyright (c) 2022 Augusto Ricken Siqueira; Chaiana Esmeraldino Mendes Marcon; Fabiana Schuelter Trevisolhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSiqueira, Augusto RickenMarcon, Chaiana Esmeraldino MendesTrevisol, Fabiana Schuelter2022-09-05T13:24:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33851Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:49:23.279546Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
