RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: to analyze the clinical conditions and sociodemographic characteristics associated with covid-19 deaths in the first year of the pandemic in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, 2020. METHODS: this was a cross-sectional study with covid-19-induced severe acute respiratory syndrome cases recorded in 2020 via the "Notifique Aqui" (Report Here) electronic system of the Pernambuco Center for Strategic Information on Health Surveillance. Association between death and sociodemographic and clinical variables was analyzed. Prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using adjusted Poisson regression. RESULTS: the prevalence of death was 28.4% (2,833 cases; 95%CI 27.51;29.28). The associated factors were male sex (PR = 1.05; 95%CI 1.01;1.08), age ≥ 60 years (PR = 0.76; 95%CI 0.72;0.79), dyspnea (PR = 1.06; 95%CI 1.02;1.10), respiratory distress (PR = 1.06; 95%CI 1.03;1.09), oxygen saturation < 95% (PR = 1.08; 95%CI 1.04;1.11) and chronic diseases. CONCLUSION: covid-19 deaths were more prevalent among male, older adults, and people with pre-existing health problems, these being priority groups for combating the pandemic.

Objetivo: analisar condições clínicas e características sociodemográficas associadas ao óbito por covid-19 no primeiro ano da pandemia em Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil, 2020. Métodos: estudo transversal, sobre casos de síndrome respiratória aguda grave por covid-19 registrados no Centro de Informações Estratégicas de Vigilância em Saúde de Pernambuco, via sistema eletrônico "Notifique Aqui"; analisou-se a associação do óbito com variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas; razões de prevalências (RP) com intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) foram calculadas por regressão de Poisson ajustada. Resultados: prevalência do óbito de 28,4% (2.833 casos; IC95% 27,51;29,28); sexo masculino (RP = 1,05; IC95% 1,01;1,08), idade ≥ 60 anos (RP = 0,76; IC95% 0,72;0,79), dispneia (RP = 1,06; IC95% 1,02;1,10), desconforto respiratório (RP = 1,06; IC95% 1,03;1,09), saturação de oxigênio < 95% (RP = 1,08; IC95% 1,04;1,11) e doenças crônicas revelaram-se fatores associados. Conclusão: o óbito por covid-19 foi mais prevalente entre sexo masculino, idosos, pessoas com problemas de saúde preexistentes - grupos prioritários no enfrentamento à pandemia.

Métodos: estudio transversal con casos de síndrome respiratorio agudo severo por covid-19 registrados en 2020 a través del sistema electrónico "Notifique Aquí" del Centro de Información Estratégica de Vigilancia en Salud de Pernambuco. Se analizó la asociación entre la muerte y variables sociodemográficas y clínicas. Los cocientes de prevalencia (CP) con intervalos de confianza (IC) del 95% se calcularon mediante una regresión de Poisson ajustada. Resultados: la prevalencia de muerte fue del 28,4% (2.833 casos, IC95% 27,51;29,28). Sexo masculino (CP = 1,05; IC95% 1,01;1,08), edad ≥60 años (CP = 0,76; IC95% 0,72;0,79), disnea (CP = 1,06; IC95% 1,02;1,10), dificultad respiratoria (CP = 1,06; IC95% 1,03;1,09) y saturación de oxígeno < 95% (CP = 1,08; IC95% 1,04;1,11) y enfermedades crónicas fueron factores asociados. Conclusión: la muerte por covid-19 fue más prevalente entre hombres, ancianos y personas con problemas de salud preexistentes, grupos prioritarios en el enfrentamiento a la pandemia.
