RESUMO
A síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SRAG) pode ser causada pelo SARS-CoV-2, doença infectocontagiosa que afeta os pulmões, reconhecida como ameaça global e com morbimortalidade significativa. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o perfil epidemiológico de casos e óbitos confirmados por síndrome respiratória aguda grave por covid-19 em Juazeiro, município da Bahia, entre os meses de janeiro e dezembro de 2020. Trata-se de um estudo transversal que utilizou dados secundários dos casos notificados no Sistema de Informação da Vigilância Epidemiológica da Gripe (Sivep-Gripe) por residência. Os dados foram coletados em junho de 2021 e analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e inferencial. Os resultados apontaram 16.760 casos suspeitos de covid-19, 6.180 casos confirmados através de testes laboratoriais, e, entre os casos confirmados, 142 faleceram. A maioria dos óbitos por covid-19 foi de homens, idosos e pardos, com sintomatologia de coriza, dispneia, tosse, febre e outros sintomas. As comorbidades analisadas estavam mais presentes em mulheres, contudo, essa característica frequentemente é observada em homens. Condições como doenças cardíacas crônicas, diabetes, doenças renais em estágio avançado e obesidade predominaram em pessoas pardas que faleceram por conta da covid-19. Compreender as características dos casos de covid-19 pode fornecer subsídios para profissionais da saúde e gestores desenvolverem estratégias principalmente voltadas à prevenção de complicações e óbitos relacionados à doença.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) can be caused by SARS-CoV-2, an infectious disease that affects the lungs, recognized as a global threat and with significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological profile of confirmed cases and deaths of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by COVID-19 in Juazeiro, municipality from Bahia, between January and December 2020. It is a cross-sectional study that used secondary data from cases reported in the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System (SIVEP-Gripe) by household. Data were collected in June 2021 and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicated 16,760 suspected cases of COVID-19 with 6,180 cases confirmed by laboratory tests, and, of the confirmed cases, 142 died. Most deaths from COVID-19 were of male, older, and mixed race people, with symptoms of coryza, dyspnea, cough, fever, and other symptoms. The analyzed comorbidities were more present in women; however, this characteristic is often observed in men. Conditions such as chronic heart disease, diabetes, advanced kidney disease, and obesity predominated in mixed race people who died from COVID-19. Understanding these characteristics of the COVID-19 cases can provide subsidies for health professionals and managers to develop strategies mainly aimed at preventing complications and deaths related to the disease.

Síndrome Respiratória Aguda GraveRESUMO
Introduction: Telework has been an alternative for companies to remain active in the market during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic. Objectives: To analyze the mains scientific evidence on the association between musculoskeletal pain and home office work during the COVID 19 pandemic. Methods: This is an integrative review guided by the following question: can workers present musculoskeletal pain due to home office work during the COVID 19 pandemic? The searches were conducted on the bases de dados MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science, Taylor & Francis, Embase, LILACS and SciELO databases. The study included articles published from March 2020 until the time of data collection, which occurred on April 20th, 2021. Results: The main findings showed complaints of increased musculoskeletal pain, especially in the low back region, followed by neck, except for a study in which the participants increased the number of hours of physical activity during the pandemic. Increased sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, and increased physical load due to household chores seemed to promote the onset of musculoskeletal disorders. The point prevalence of neck pain was significantly related to age, sex, health status, job satisfaction, and length of employment. The findings provided evidence that the impact on work and leisure was substantial. Conclusions: The pandemic worsened the musculoskeletal health of workers in different areas whose work activities were kept at home in the remote mode. However, engagement in physical activity during confinement periods was beneficial for reducing the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain.
