“…Verificar a significância da epidemia e seus sintomas pode ajudar a analisar a transmissibilidade e suscetibilidade do vírus, criando a possibilidade de antever medidas de ações públicas para o seu controle. Mesenburg MA et al 6 realizaram um estudo de base populacional com 18 mil participantes, cujo objetivo foi avaliar a prevalência de relato de sintomas característicos de covid-19 no Rio Grande do Sul. Os resultados demonstraram que a proporção de indivíduos assintomáticos foi de 19,9% entre participantes com anticorpos e 49,7% entre aqueles sem anticorpos.…”

Introdução: pandemia de COVID-19 evidenciou a Vigilância Epidemiológica como recurso essencial no acompanhamento temporal de indicadores de saúde. Objetivo: identificar fatores sociodemográficos e sintomatológicos associados à infecção por COVID-19 e verificar diferenças temporais nos casos de um município do Sul do Brasil. Métodos: trata-se de levantamento epidemiológico, com análise de dados secundários obtidos pela ficha de notificação da Vigilância Epidemiológica do município. Incluíram-se sujeitos notificados por suspeita de COVID-19 no período de 12 meses. Resultados: 37,9% tiveram resultado positivo para COVID-19. Características sociodemográficas foram semelhantes entre sujeitos positivos e negativos para COVID-19 e 27,3% relataram ter ao menos uma comorbidade prévia, sem apresentar diferença no diagnóstico da infecção. Percebeu-se associação de infecção ao sintoma de anosmia e ageusia. Verificaram-se diferenças de distribuição nas três ondas epidemiológicas. Conclusões: infecção por COVID-19 no município foi homogênea na população, sem grupo socioeconômico com maior potencial de positividade, com sintomas amplos da infecção.

Prevalence of flu-like syndrome in healthcare workers in Brazil: a national study, 2020

et al. 2023

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of reported symptoms of flu-like syndrome (FS) among HCW and compare HCW and non-HCW on the chance of reporting these symptoms, this study analyzed data of a population-based survey conducted in Brazil. METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis was performed with self-reported data from the Brazilian National Household Sample Survey (PNAD Covid-19) from May 2020. The authors analyzed a probability sample of 125,179 workers, aged 18 to 65, with monthly income lower than US$ 3 500. The variable HCW or non-HCW was the covariate of interest and having reported FS symptoms or not was the outcome variable. Authors tested interactions of HCW with other covariates. A logit model – when controlling for sociodemographic, employment, and geographic characteristics – investigated the chance of HCW reporting FS compared to non-HCW. RESULTS: HCW have a significant effect (odds ratio of 1.369) on reporting FS symptoms when compared to non-HCW. HCW account for 4.17% of the sample, with a higher frequency of FS (3.38%) than observed for non-HCW (2.43%). Female, non-white and older individuals had higher chance to report FS. CONCLUSIONS: The HCW had a higher chance of reporting symptoms than non-HCW aged over 18 years in the labor force. These results emphasize guidelines for preventive measures to reduce workplace exposures in the healthcare facilities. The prevalence is disproportionately affecting HCW women and HCW non-whites. In the regions North and Northeast the steeper progression is consistent with the hypothesis of socioeconomic factors, and it explains the greater prevalence in HCW and non-HCW living in those territories.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared an international state of emergency in order to contain the rapid spread of COVID-19. To ensure that there is adherence to preventive measures by the population aimed at controlling the pandemic in Alagoas, it is expected that knowledge, behavior and practices play an important role in preventing and controlling the disease. In this sense, it becomes relevant to understand the knowledge of the population about the disease. To evaluate the knowledge, behavior and practices of social media users during social isolation to prevent the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 in the state of Alagoas, Northeast, Brazil. A probabilistic sample was carried out across the entire territory of the state of Alagoas with those who have access to a device that accesses the internet and a cross-sectional study was carried out using an online questionnaire applied to a convenience sample, recruited between August 2021 and July 2022 by snowball sampling. The questionnaire consisted of seven sessions, the first collecting data on the socioeconomic and sociodemographic profile of the participants, and the other sessions involving knowledge, attitudes and practices, including topics related to the vaccination that had to be administered at that time. High popular knowledge about signs and symptoms, means of transmission and risk groups. Low knowledge about seeking health services. Based on the results obtained, information from official channels became relevant to better teach the population in order to reduce the impact of COVID-19.
