“…Excess maternal mortality was also larger in the second (123% [306/137]) than in the first pandemic year (28% [178/139]), with a 181% (87/31) excess in women 35-49 years old (Table 4). Excess maternal deaths occurred from March to June 2021 regardless of age group, and in women aged 35…”

“…Other studies have encountered substantial maternal deaths due to COVID-19 in the Americas, especially in advanced maternal ages [ 32 ]. The occurrence of excess maternal deaths during the critical period of March to June 2021 likely also reflects the late and slow adoption of measures to control and mitigate the epidemic’s effects in the country [ 33 – 35 ], such as vaccination of pregnant and postpartum women [ 2 ], associated with a substantial protective effect against SARS-CoV-2 infection, severe cases, and deaths [ 36 – 39 ].…”

Background Accurate estimates of the COVID-19 pandemic’s indirect impacts are crucial, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This study aims to update estimates of excess maternal deaths in Brazil during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This was an exploratory mixed ecological study using the counterfactual approach. The observed maternal deaths were gathered from the Mortality Information System (SIM) for the period between March 2015 and February 2022. Expected deaths from March 2020 to February 2022 were estimated using quasipoisson generalized additive models, considering quadrimester, age group, and their interaction as predictor variables. Analyses were performed in R version 4.1.2, RStudio, version 2023.03.1+446 and carried out with support from the “mgcv” and “plot_model” libraries. Results A total of 5,040 maternal deaths were reported, with varying excess mortality across regions and age groups, resulting in 69% excess maternal mortality throughout Brazil during the first two years of the pandemic. The Southeast region had 50% excess mortality throughout the first two years and 76% excess in the second year. The North region had 69% excess mortality, increasing in the second year, particularly among women aged 20–34. The Northeast region showed 80% excess mortality, with a significant increase in the second year, especially among women aged 35–49. The Central-West region had 75% excess mortality, higher in the second year and statistically significant among women aged 35–49. The South region showed 117% excess mortality, reaching 203% in the second year among women aged 20–34, but no excess mortality in the 10–19 age category. Conclusions Over two years, Brazil saw a significant impact on maternal excess deaths, regardless of region and pandemic year. The highest peak occurred between March and June 2021, emphasizing the importance of timely and effective epidemic responses to prevent avoidable deaths and prepare for new crises.

“…These facilities have been proven to be an effective strategy for responding to COVID-19 outbreaks in communities. 3 , 4 Despite having the advantages associated with large hospitals and saving medical resources, 5 Fangcang shelter hospitals also impact the treatment of certain chronic diseases. For example, given the complex arrangement of the facilities and its numerous patients, the light intensity inside these shelter hospitals is usually high; thus, the patient sleep is often affected.…”

Objective To evaluate the effect of sleep duration on blood pressure in patients with hypertension urgencies combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection in a Fangcang shelter hospital. Methods From April 10, 2020 to May 20, 2022, we statistically analyzed the blood pressure and sleep conditions of 52 patients with combined hypertension urgencies and SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted in Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center Fangcang shelter hospital. They were divided into the short-term (daily sleep duration: <7 h) and normal sleep group (7–9 h). We performed a comparison of the control effects of basic antihypertensive drugs. Additionally, patients in the short-term sleep group underwent drug therapy for sleep regulation and continuous monitoring of blood pressure. Results Among these patients, the blood pressure was higher in the short-term sleep group than that of the normal sleep group, and also more difficult to control ( p <0.05). Furthermore, the blood pressure of the patients in the short-term sleep group was more easily controlled after treatment with drugs for sleep regulation and basic antihypertensive drugs ( p <0.05). Conclusion The blood pressure level in patients with combined SARS-CoV-2 infection and hypertension urgencies was higher in those with a shorter duration of daily sleep, and also more difficult to control in Fangcang shelter hospital. Drug therapy for sleep regulation should be administered early to obtain sufficient blood pressure control effects.
