RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the repercussions of COVID-19 on the length of breastfeeding and analyze the associated factors in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHOD: This is an epidemiological, prospective cohort study. Data were collected from medical records and through telephone interviews. Women who weaned were estimated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The log-rank test was used to verify differences between groups, analyzing weaning time, according to sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. The values of hazard ratio and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: A total of 1,729 women participated in the study. During the COVID-19 pandemic, brown women and women undergoing cesarean section were more likely to stop breastfeeding. CONCLUSION: The birth route and mothers' ethnic characteristics were associated with early weaning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such findings are important to guide the assistance of the multidisciplinary team, especially nursing, during the post-pandemic period and in future epidemiological scenarios.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Investigar las repercusiones de la COVID-19 en la duración de la lactancia materna y analizar los factores asociados en Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Método: Se trata de un estudio de cohorte prospectivo epidemiológico. Los datos se recogieron de historias clínicas y mediante entrevistas telefónicas. Las mujeres que destetaron se estimaron mediante el análisis de supervivencia de Kaplan-Meier. La prueba de Mantel-Cox se utilizó para verificar diferencias entre grupos, analizando el tiempo de destete, según características sociodemográficas y clínicas. Los valores de cociente de riesgo y los intervalos de confianza del 95% se estimaron mediante análisis de regresión de Cox. Resultados: Un total de 1.729 mujeres participaron en la investigación. Durante la pandemia de COVID-19, las mujeres pardas y aquellas sometidas a cesárea tenían más probabilidades de dejar de amamantar. Conclusión: La ruta de nacimiento y las características étnicas de las madres se asociaron con el destete temprano durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Tales hallazgos son importantes para orientar la asistencia del equipo multidisciplinario, especialmente de enfermería, durante el período pospandemia y en futuros escenarios epidemiológicos.
RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar as repercussões da COVID-19 na duração do aleitamento materno e analisar os fatores associados em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Método: Trata-se de estudo epidemiológico, de coorte prospectiva. Os dados foram coletados em prontuários médicos e por meio de entrevistas telefônicas. As mulheres que apresentaram o desmame foram estimadas por meio da análise de sobrevivência de Kaplan-Meier. O teste log-rank foi utilizado para verificar diferenças entre os grupos, analisando-se o tempo de desmame, segundo as características sociodemográficas e clínicas. Os valores de hazard ratio e intervalos de confiança de 95% foram estimados utilizando-se análise de regressão de Cox. Resultados: Participaram da pesquisa 1.729 mulheres. Durante a pandemia de COVID-19, mulheres pardas e mulheres submetidas à cesariana foram mais suscetíveis a interromper a amamentação. Conclusão: A via de nascimento e as características étnicas das mães associaram-se ao desmame precoce durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Tais achados são importantes para nortear a assistência da equipe multiprofissional, sobretudo da enfermagem, durante o pós-pandemia e em cenários epidemiológicos futuros.
