Comparação dos dados demográficos e de morbimortalidade de pacientes com doença renal crônica dialítica acometidos pela covid-19 em 2020 versus 2021

Abstract

Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) consists of the irreversible loss of kidney function slowly and progressively. The number of renal patients is growing worldwide, and Brazil already represents the third largest hemodialysis market. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a global impact, highlighting limitations in transmission, risk factors and their severity. Patients with chronic kidney disease are high-risk groups for severe cases of Covid-19 to develop. OBJECTIVE: To compare the demographic profile, clinical complications and mortality rate in patients with dialysis chronic kidney disease affected by COVID-19 in 2020 versus 2021. RESULTS: A total of 152 subjects participated in the study. The average age found in the survey was 57.5 (37 – 65.2) years. The sample was characterized by male patients, 63.8% and female patients, 36.2%, who required hospitalization of 11.3% and death was 13.3%. DISCUSSION: One of the extremely significant findings in the study illustrates the manifestation of such latent potentials: : as in the characterization of the sample, a higher prevalence of patients who tested for COVID-19 was observed in patients with an average age of 57 years and male. The spatial distribution of the degree of incidence of Covid-19 in the municipalities of the state of Ceará demonstrated the inequality in the incidence coefficient of this pandemic with spatial dependence and positive correlation of the high type associated with the municipal human development index. The short-term mortality rate in dialysis patients, most patients even after the diagnosis of COVID-19 had not died. CONCLUSION: The quality of life of chronic renal dialysis patients is well compromised because they are in treatment impairment. CKD, and some chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and diabetes mellitus are among the comorbidities that imply a higher risk for a severe clinical presentation for several types of infectious diseases.
