Resumen

DUARTE, Magda Machado Saraiva et al. Description of COVID-19 hospitalized health worker cases in the first nine weeks of the pandemic, Brazil, 2020. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.5, e2020277.  Epub 21-Sep-2020. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1679-49742020000500011.

Objective:

To describe COVID-19 hospitalized health worker cases in Brazil.

Methods:

This was a descriptive case series study; it included cases that became ill between February 21st and April 15th, 2020 registered on the Influenza Surveillance Information System (SIVEP-Gripe, acronym in Portuguese).

Results:

Of the 184 cases, 110 (59.8%) were female and median age was 44 years (min-max: 23-85); 89 (48.4%) were nursing professionals and 50 (27.2%) were doctors. Ninety-two (50.0%) presented comorbidity, with heart disease predominating (n=37; 40.2%). Of the 112 professionals with a record of case progression, 85 (75.9%) were cured and 27 (24.1%) died, 18 of whom were male.

Conclusion:

The profile of COVID-19 hospitalized health workers is similar to that of the general population with regard to age and comorbidities, but different in relation to sex. The most affected areas were nursing and medicine.
