          Abstract

          RESUMEN: Objetivo Caracterizar el perfil epidemiológico de los pacientes hospitalizados con COVID-19 en una unidad de emergencia de referencia en el norte de Paraná; analizar el perfil de los pacientes afectados por COVID-19 en términos de: sexo, color/raza, edad, estado civil, procedencia y tipo de derivación; medir el promedio de estancia hospitalaria, desde la fecha de ingreso hasta el alta del paciente, determinar el porcentaje de los principales resultados hospitalarios. Método: Se trata de una investigación de campo con abordaje cuantitativo, observacional, unicéntrica, descriptiva, exploratoria y retrospectiva, realizada en el Hospital Universitario de la Universidad Estadual de Londrina, ubicado en el norte de Paraná. La población de estudio estuvo constituida por los datos de 2.800 pacientes ingresados y hospitalizados con diagnóstico confirmado de COVID-19 en el Servicio de Urgencias del hospital en cuestión, según registros del núcleo de epidemiología y el Servicio de Estadísticas y Archivo Médico, desde enero de 2021 hasta julio de 2021. de 2021. Resultados: Se observó que la mayoría de los afectados eran del sexo masculino, de raza blanca, solteros y tenían entre 58 y 67 años. La estancia hospitalaria media fue de 16 días. El Servicio Móvil de Atención de Urgencias presentó los mayores registros de derivaciones y los desenlaces de alta y muerte tuvieron valores muy similares. Conclusión: Se concluye que la segunda ola de COVID-19 fue devastadora en todos los seguimientos, reflejando el cambio en el perfil etario de los afectados, el aumento de las tasas de hospitalización, las altas tasas de mortalidad y la estrecha relación entre el período de hospitalización y progresión a la muerte.

          ABSTRACT: Objective: To characterize the epidemiological profile of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in a referral emergency unit in northern Paraná; analyze the profile of patients affected by COVID-19 regarding gender, color/race, age, marital status, origin and type of referral; measure the average length of hospital stay, from the date of admission of the patient until discharge, determine the percentage of the main hospital outcomes. Method: It was field research with a quantitative, observational, unicentric, descriptive, exploratory and retrospective approach, carried out at the University Hospital of the State University of Londrina, located in the north of the Paraná. The study population consisted of data from 2,800 patients admitted and hospitalized with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 in the Emergency Room of the hospital in question, according to records of the epidemiology center and Medical and Statistical Archive Service, from January 2021 to July 2021. Results: It was observed that most of those affected were male, had a white color, were single and were between 58 and 67 years old. The mean length of hospitalization was 16 days. The Mobile Emergency Care Service obtained the highest referral records and the discharge and death outcomes had very close values. Conclusion: It is concluded that the second wave of COVID-19 was devastating in all segments, reflecting the change in the age profile of those affected, the increase in hospitalization rates, high mortality rates and the close relationship between the hospitalization period and the evolution to death.

          Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): A Perspective from China

          Abstract In December 2019, an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China and spread across China and beyond. On February 12, 2020, WHO officially named the disease caused by the novel coronavirus as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since most COVID-19 infected patients were diagnosed with pneumonia and characteristic CT imaging patterns, radiological examinations have become vital in early diagnosis and assessment of disease course. To date, CT findings have been recommended as major evidence for clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 in Hubei, China. This review focuses on the etiology, epidemiology, and clinical symptoms of COVID-19, while highlighting the role of chest CT in prevention and disease control.

            Comparison of the second and third waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea: Importance of early public health intervention

            Objectives We aimed to compare epidemiologic features of second and third COVID-19 pandemic waves in South Korea. Methods Nationwide COVID-19 data was collected during the study period (May 6–December 30). The degree of social activities was also estimated using the internet searching trend analysis program for leisure-related keywords including “eating-out,” “trip,” and “get directions” (transportation). We compared the demographics, transmission chains, case fatality rates, social activity level, and public health responses between second (August 13–September 18) and third (November 4–present) waves. Results Compared to the second wave, the third wave was characterized by delayed social distancing reinforcement (3 vs. 15 days), longer duration (36 vs. > 56 days) and higher fatality rates (0.91% vs. 1.26%). There was a significant difference in transmission chains of the second and third waves of the COVID-19 pandemic (p < 0.01). During the third wave compared with the second wave, the proportion of local clusters (24.8% vs. 45.7%) was lower, while those of personal contact transmission (38.5% vs. 25.9%) and unknown routes of transmission (23.5% vs. 20.8%) were higher. Conclusion Early and timely interventions with strengthened social distancing policies should be implemented to effectively suppress and control the COVID-19 pandemic.
