Vacinação e evolução clínica de pacientes internados na unidade de terapia intensiva por COVID-19 em um município do norte gaúcho

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to describe the clinical evolution of vaccinated patients admitted to the ICU for COVID-19 in a municipality in the north of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This is a quantitative, observational, descriptive and analytical study based on the analysis of secondary data from the SARS notification forms with the SMS. The research will be conducted from August 2022 to July 2023, having as unit of analysis the city of Passo Fundo - RS. The following results are expected: patients over 50 years of age and with associated comorbidities have a higher incidence of complications and a higher number of ICU admissions due to COVID-19; the number of patients admitted to the ICU for COVID-19 will be higher among the unvaccinated; those patients who underwent the vicinal regimen against the new coronavirus will have fewer complications; they will remain hospitalized for fewer days and have less morbidity when compared to those who are not vaccinated; those patients who were not vaccinated will need more respirator use; comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension and heart disease will present greater in-hospital morbidity when compared to those who do not have previous diseases.
