ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The COVID-19 pandemic in Minas Gerais (MG) resulted in a decrease of the demand for healthcare, such as outpatient consultations, exams and elective surgeries, as one of the contingency strategies.

Objective:

To analyze deaths from respiratory and cardiac causes during the first half of 2020 occurring in households and hospitals in MG.

Methodology:

The causes of deaths were analyzed using data from the Civil Registry Transparency Portal (ARPEN) in epidemiological weeks 1st to 23th.

Results:

It was found that, compared to the same period in 2019, there was an increase in home deaths from pneumonia (17.59%), respiratory failure (IR) (20.65%), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) (20.69%), sepsis (31.91%), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (15.56%), stroke (18.29%) and other cardiovascular causes (18.44%) in 2020. In relation to hospital deaths, a reduction in deaths from pneumonia (6.08%), from IR (3.59%) and from sepsis (2.21%) was observed, despite an increase of 338.30% for SARS. In addition, there was a 3.02% decrease in deaths from strokes, and a 3.41% increase in AMI and 2.93% for other cardiovascular causes. In relation to age and gender, regardless of the place of death, men aged between 75 and 80 years predominated. Discussion and

Conclusions:

It is believed that part of these deaths are related to the restructuring of the dynamics of hospital care, associated with the fear of seeking assistance and becoming infected by the new coronavirus. In conclusion that there was an increase in home deaths and a reduction in hospital deaths in 2020 due to respiratory and cardiac causes in the context of the pandemic.
RESUMO

Introdução:

A pandemia pela COVID-19 em Minas Gerais (MG) acarretou na redução da procura por atendimentos médicos, como consultas ambulatoriais, exames e cirurgias eletivas, em resposta às estratégias de contingência.

Objetivo:

Analisar as mortes por causas respiratórias e cardiovasculares durante o primeiro semestre de 2020 ocorridas em domicílios e em hospitais de MG.

Método:

As causas de óbitos foram analisadas por meio dos dados do Portal da Transparência do Registro Civil (ARPEN) das semanas epidemiológicas 1 à 23.

Resultados:

Constatou-se que, comparativamente ao mesmo período de 2019, houve acréscimo nas mortes domiciliares por pneumonia (17,59%), insuficiência respiratória (IR) (20,65%), síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SRAG) (20,69%), sepse (31,91%), infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) (15,56%), acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) (18,29%) e por outras causas cardiovasculares (18,44%) em 2020. Já em relação aos óbitos hospitalares, constatou-se redução das mortes por pneumonia (6,08%), por IR (3,59%) e por sepse (2,21%), apesar do incremento de 338,30% por SRAG. Além disso, encontrou-se decréscimo de 3,02% dos óbitos por AVC, e do crescimento de 3,41% por IAM e de 2,93% para outras causas cardiovasculares. Em relação à faixa etária e ao sexo, independentemente do local do óbito, predominou homens com idade entre 75 e 80 anos. Discussão e

Conclusões:

Acredita-se que parte desses óbitos esteja relacionada à reestruturação da dinâmica do atendimento hospitalar, associada ao medo de procurar assistência e infectar-se pelo novo coronavírus. Conclui-se que houve aumento de mortes domiciliares e redução das mortes hospitalares em 2020 por causas respiratórias e cardiovasculares em meio ao contexto da pandemia.
