“…Despite the advance of the vaccine in Brazil, only three southern states have more than 80% of this fully vaccinated population: Paraná (81.97%), Rio Grande do Sul (81.42%), and Santa Catarina (80.28%). Even in this scenario, in almost all states, 90% of adults have at least a first dose of the vaccine, except for Roraima (75.43%), Amapá (82.47%), Maranhão (88.09%) and Rondônia (89.39%) (DA SILVA et al, 2022).…”

In January 2020, a new coronavirus genetic material, Sars-CoV-2, was developed sequentially, allowing several studies to be released worldwide in search of a vaccine. In March of that year, the first vaccine was introduced and entered the human testing phase. In this scenario, this project aims to perform a correlational and comparative analysis between the immunized population of the federation units and the federal district with mortality and lethality rates by COVID-19 through statistical data treatment. The study was conducted in a statistical, retrospective study, with data available in sites linked to the Ministry of Health and the state health departments. In addition, for statistical treatment, the correlation of the data found and linear regression will be performed. Thus, all data will be gathered through data from DATASUS and the sites of each unit of the federation, covering the entire immunization period in which the country is being submitted. After data collection, they will be grouped and tabled using excel for Windows® and Word for Windows® software tools for making charts and tables. State data related to the number of immunized individuals will be compared by the students' T-test and compared using the SPSS® software. Based on the data collected, it is expected to have an overview of the impact of immunization on the reduction of COVID-19 mortality rates in all states of the country.

The impact of the social isolation in elderly Brazilian mental health (anxiety and depression) during the COVID-19 pandemic

et al. 2022

The impact of social isolation in the pandemic context on elderly Brazilian mental health is little known, especially about the occurrence of depressive symptoms. In this study, we evaluated elderly people undergoing social isolation in order to identify factors associated with depression and which of these are more important to characterize elderly Brazilians with depression. In a cross-sectional, exploratory, and analytical study of a quantitative nature, the mental profile of elderly individuals subjected to social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic period was used. A total of 450 participants was divided into normal and depressive groups, and a form covering sociodemographic data, opinions/perceptions about the pandemic, and a Reduced Geriatric Depression Scale was used to assess participants' mental health. To assess the statistical significance between the variables, chi-square test was applied, considering the p-value <0.05. The effect size was analyzed to identify the magnitude of the difference between groups. To identify the most important characteristics to define the groups Multilayer Perceptron algorithm were applied. We found that elderly people with a depressive profile are (in Multilayer Perceptron rank order) (1) showing signs of anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) of low education, (3) being divorced, (4) having more than one mental disorder, (5) reading, watching, or listening to information about COVID-19, and (6) being previously diagnosed with depression. In conclusion, elderly Brazilians in social isolation tend to develop depressive disorders during quarantine. Thus, we can consider that the pandemic requires effective and safe gerontological care and monitoring, especially with regard to mental health.
