La death caused by the covid In the first case, it was reported in Brazilian hospitals overboard of its health care system, with an intrahospital mortality rate of 38%, 60% of those admitted to the UCI and 80% among those in need of ventilation mecánica, seguna informa Europa Press.
This is one of the conclusions of a study published by The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, conducted by scientists at the Institute of Global Health in Barcelona (ISGlobal), center funded by the Caixa Foundation, University of Sao Paulo, the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, the Institute of Research and Education of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation.
The work analyzed the first 254,288 patients admitted to some hospital in Brazil for coronavirus, a 47% of those who are less than 60 years old, and concluded that in addition to the mortality rate, regional desigualdades in the quality of sanitary attention.
Following the study, the propaganda of covid-19 in Brazil on board health systems in all regions of the country, especially in those areas where there are fragile eras.
Investigators have stated that the pandemic has evidently reduced the need for sanitary professionals, intensive care beds and respirators all over the world, but the mortality rate between confirmed cases has varied widely between countries, which attributes to differences in the capacity and preparation of its health systems.
“Hasta hoy, hay datos muy limitados sober la mortalidad de los patientis hospitalized con covid-19 o sobre comos salud han systems han afrontado la pandemia en paises de ingresos bajos y medios”, ha explained ” of the studio.
Brazil, for example, is a medium-sized aggregate country with a unified health system for its 210 million inhabitants, a health system that, according to Ranzani, has been reduced by recent Economic and political crisis and with a large heterogeneity in the different regions of the country.
The investigators used data from a national vigilance system to evaluate the characteristics of the first 254,288 patients admitted to a hospital with covid-19 in Brazil, requiring intensive care or respiratory support, and counting their deaths.
We will also analyze the impact of covid-19 on medical attention and hospital mortality rates in the five major regions of the country.
The study reveals that the rate of intrahospital mortality was high (38%) and increased by 60% among those admitted to the Unit for Intensive Care (UCI) and from 80% in those receiving mechanical ventilation.
Although the covid-19 disembarked the health care system in the five regions, hospital admissions and mortality were significantly higher in the northern and northern regions of Brazil at the beginning of the pandemic (for example, 31% of minor patients of 60 years old murieron and hospitals del noreste frente al 15% en el sur).
“These regional differences in mortality reflect differences in access to a major medical attention that exists before the pandemic,” said Fernando Bozza, study coordinator and investigator at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases. “It means that covid-19 is not only affected by a manner disproportionate to the most vulnerable patients as well as the most fragile health care systems,” he said.

According to Ranzani, “Brazil’s health care system is one of the major’s to burn free attention to all persons and has a solid tradition in the vigilance of infected children, per the covid-19 overhauling the capacity of the system“.
The authors conclude that the high mortality rate observed in hospitals demonstrates the need to improve the structure and organization of the health care system, particularly in the areas of poor and mediocre states, which implies increasing resources, equipment and consumption up to date. of UCI and sanitary personnel.
