ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La pandemia por Covid-19 ha generado cambios en la atención de salud nacional, observándose en este período cambios en las causas de egresos hospitalarios (EH). OBJETIVO: Analizar el impacto del brote de Covid-19 en las causas de EH por enfermedades del Sistema Nervioso Central (ESNC) en población pediátrica durante el primer año de pandemia. MÉTODO: Estudio transversal. Análisis de base de datos del Departamento de Estadística e Información en Salud en pacientes de 0 a 18 años, comparando años 2019 y 2020. RESULTADOS: En 2020 se redujeron EH por ESNC en un 39% comparado con 2019. Disminuyeron principalmente los EH por secuelas de enfermedades inflamatorias SNC, parálisis cerebral, migraña y paraplejia/cuadriplejia, aumentando los EH por isquemia cerebral transitoria, enfermedades desmielinizantes SNC y polineuropatía inflamatoria. El número EH por ESNC mensual se correlacionó con el número de casos Covid-19 (rho -0.774, p0.003) y con la movilidad mensual del país (rho 0.928, p 0.001). CONCLUSIONES: El impacto del brote Covid-19 se asoció con reducción de EH por ESNC, disminuyeron EH por patologías crónicas y aumentaron causas agudas.


INTRODUCTION: The Covid-19 pandemic has been associated with modifications in national health care, with changes in causes of hospital discharges (HD) in this period. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on causes of HD due to Central Nervous System Diseases (CNSD) in pediatric population during the first year of pandemic. METHOD: Cross-sectional study. Analysis of database of the Department of Statistics and Health Information in patients aged 0 to 18 years, comparing 2019 and 2020. RESULTS: In 2020, HD due to CNSD were reduced in 39% compared to 2019. HD causes that mainly decreased were inflammatory CNS disease sequelae, cerebral palsy, migraine and paraplegia/cuadriplegia. The HD that increased were transient cerebral ischemia, CNS demyelinating diseases and inflammatory polyneuropathy. The monthly HD due to CNSD number was correlated with the number of Covid-19 cases (rho -0.774, p0.003) and with the country's monthly mobility (rho 0.928, p 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Covid-19 pandemic was associated with a reduction in HD due to CNSD, with decrease of EH due to chronic pathologies and increase of acute diseases
