Síndrome inflamatória multissistêmica pediátrica: estudo seccional dos casos e fatores associados aos óbitos durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil, 2020

Objective: To describe the clinical-epidemiological profile of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) cases and to identify factors associated with MIS-C deaths in Brazil, 2020. Methods: Cross-sectional study, based on MIS-C national monitoring database in Brazil, 2020. Simple and multiple logistic regression was performed to estimate crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR). Results: The median age of cases (n=652) was 5 years, 57.1% were male, 52.0% were brown race/color and 6.4% died. The odds of death was greater among those who presented O2 saturation <95% (ORa=4.35 – 95%CI 1.69;11.20) and altered result of urea (ORa=5.18 – 95%CI 1.91;14.04); lower in the absence of cutaneous lesion such as rash (ORa=0.23 – 95%CI 0.09;0.62), with the use of anticoagulants (ORa=0.32 – 95%CI 0.12;0.89) and of immunoglobulins (ORa=0.38 – 95%CI 0.15;1.01). Conclusion: Fatality rates was higher among cases that presented O2 saturation<95% and altered urea, and lower among those with cutaneous lesion, who used immunoglobulins and anticoagulants.Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil clínico-epidemiológico da síndrome inflamatória multissistêmica pediátrica temporalmente associada à COVID-19 (SIM-P) e identificar fatores associados aos óbitos de SIM-P no Brasil, 2020. Métodos: Estudo seccional, utilizando dados do monitoramento nacional da SIM-P. Empregou-se regressão logística para estimar razões de chances (ORs, odds ratios) brutas e ajustadas. Resultados: Os casos (n=652) apresentaram idade mediana de 5 anos; 57,1% eram do sexo masculino e 52,0% de raça/cor da pele parda; 6,4% evoluíram a óbito. A chance de óbito foi significativamente maior nos que apresentaram saturação de O2<95% (ORa=4,35 – IC95% 1,69;11,20) e resultado alterado de ureia (ORa=5,18 – IC95% 1,91;14,04); e menor na ausência de manchas vermelhas pelo corpo (ORa=0,23 – IC95% 0,09;0,62), com uso de anticoagulantes (ORa=0,32 – IC95% 0,12;0,89) e imunoglobulinas (ORa=0,38 – IC95% 0,15;1,01). Conclusão: A letalidade foi maior entre casos que apresentaram saturação de O2<95% e ureia alterada; e menor nos que apresentaram manchas vermelhas, usaram imunoglobulinas e anticoagulantes

Dataset on child vaccination in Brazil from 1996 to 2021

Abstract We present a machine-readable and open-access dataset on vaccination results among children under five years old in Brazil from 1996 to 2021. This dataset is interoperable with epidemiological data from the VAX*SIM project and reusable by the research community worldwide for other purposes, such as monitoring vaccination coverage and studying its determinants and impacts on child morbidity and mortality. The dataset gathers official and public information from the Brazilian National Immunisation Program, the Institute of Geography and Statistics, the Institute for Applied Economic Research, and the Ministry of Health. It includes 2,442,863 observations and 35 attributes aggregated by years, policy-relevant geographic units (country, macroregions, states, municipalities, and capitals), and age groups on 1,344,480,329 doses of 28 vaccines aimed to prevent 15 diseases, estimates of their target-population coverage, indicators of the vaccination coverage’s homogeneity, dropout rates, and spatial, demographic, and socioeconomic data. We automated all data processing and curation in the free and open software R. The codes can be audited, replicated, and reused to produce alternative analyses
