Mortality from COVID-19 in Brasil hospitals - Coggle Diagram
Mortality from COVID-19 in Brasil hospitals
Community
61% of Brazilian adults suffer from obesity.It was proven that obese patients are at increased risk of developing severe illness
some studies suggested that influenza vaccines aided in lessening the mortality rate
as a society promoting more influenza vaccines will lead to lessening of new cases of the Covid-19 infection
Social
quarantine and social distancing are being the recommended measures in an
attempt to reduce the infection rate in order to avoid overloading healthcare systems
In addition to the COVID cases, there was more attention drawn to other disease eradication programs operating in Brazil such as malaria.
Institutional
Profile of hospitalized COVID-19 patients
there was a predominance of cases in the Southeast region (58.96%)
Higher lethality in North/Northeast region
Possible Causes
due to the lack of appro- priate knowledge about the characteristics of the new disease whose spread was highest in this region at the beginning of the pandemic.
due to socioeconomic conditions and availability of beds in the ICU
hospitals overloaded and hospital workers overworked
Brazilian patients admitted to ICU and requiring ven- tilation is relevant, as it can contribute to better care and mortality reduction
Interpersonal
Pardo mixed race and Black patients
Comorbidities included genetic diseases such as Down's Syndrome, diabetes, asthma, etc.
Individual
Similar demographics to US patients: old age, male, and already suffering from preexisting chronic conditions such as kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, etc.
Meta-Analysis from other countries showed that age is the determining factor on mortality :
Immunocompromised and poor
immune response
Mostly affected 60 year old males and older people.
Caretaker behavior was better for those patients who were admitted into the ICU and receiving ventilation. This reduced mortality rate.
