    Abstract Resumo Objetivo: analisar casos confirmados e de óbitos por COVID-19 entre profissionais de enfermagem no Brasil. Métodos: estudo epidemiológico com uso de técnicas de geoprocessamento. Dados referentes ao período de 20 de março a 28 de maio de 2020 foram coletados do Conselho Federal de Enfermagem. Foram utilizados testes G, qui-quadrado e Mantel-Haenszel para associação entre óbitos e faixa etária, sexo e região geográfica de trabalho. Resultados: 17.414 casos suspeitos, 5.732 confirmados e 134 óbitos ocorreram no período. A região Sudeste apresentou o maior número de casos (46,35%) e de óbitos (44,78%). A faixa etária mais afetada para casos foi de 31-40 anos (n = 2.515) e para óbitos foi de 41-50 anos (n = 38). A taxa de letalidade foi maior nos homens. As variáveis “faixa etária”, “sexo” e “região geográfica de trabalho” estiveram significativamente associadas aos óbitos por COVID-19 (p < 0,05). Os estados do Amapá, Roraima e Bahia apresentaram a maior taxa de casos por 1.000 profissionais inscritos no conselho da categoria (6,28, 6,10 e 5,99, respectivamente). Conclusão: Os dados indicam a necessidade de um olhar crítico sobre o campo de trabalho de enfermagem como estratégia de enfrentamento da COVID-19.

    Abstract Objetivos: analisar o conhecimento e a atitude de universitários da área da saúde sobre o uso do preservativo como método de prevenção das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis e comparar o grupo de participantes que já tiveram relações sexuais dos que ainda não tiveram. Metodologia: estudo descritivo, transversal e quantitativo, sobre conhecimento e atitude. Foi executado em formato on-line durante o período de setembro a dezembro de 2021. A análise de dados foi realizada por meio dos softwares JASP 0.9.1.0 e BioEstat 5.0. Resultados: dos 219 participantes, 96 (43.8%) possuíam conhecimento inadequado e 116 (53.0%) atitude inadequada acerca do uso do preservativo. O conhecimento inadequado esteve associado com a faixa etária (p=0.008) e relacionamento (p=0.000); a atitude inadequada com a faixa etária (p=0.001), ano acadêmico em curso (p=0.040), religião (p=0.005) e relacionamento (p=0.000). Conclusão: são importante ações voltadas ao aumento do conhecimento, o que possibilita melhores atitudes sobre o uso de preservativos.

    Abstract In less than four months, the total of confirmed cases of COVID-19 was 1,684,833 worldwide. Outcomes among the public of pregnant women with COVID-19 are still unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze whether COVID-19 in pregnant women is related to premature birth and birth weight, and to summarize the diagnostic results of neonates born to mothers with COVID-19 for investigating the possibility of vertical transmission. Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Preprints, bioRxiv, and medRxiv. We used the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) as measure of analysis. Summary estimates were calculated using random effects models. 38 studies were included; data from 279 women were analyzed; 60 patients were diagnosed with COVID-19. The meta-analysis showed no significant association between COVID-19 and preterm delivery (OR = 2.25; 95%CI: 0.96, 5.31; p = 0.06; I² = 0%). No significant relationship was found between birth weight and COVID-19 (MD = -124.16; 95%CI: -260.54, 12.22; p = 0.07; I² = 0%). Among 432 newborns, 10 were reported with positive results for early SARS-CoV-2. Due to the characteristics of the studies, the level of evidence of this meta-analysis was considered very low. COVID-19 in pregnant women may not be associated with the occurrence of preterm deliveries or the birth weight of the newborn children, however the evidence to date is very uncertain. A few reports suggest vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to newborn is possible, but evidence is still uncertain.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of the distance between the place of residence and the specialized treatment service on the survival time of people living with HIV/Aids in Alagoas, Northeast Brazil.
    Methods: Data from the notification and mortality systems related to individuals aged 13 years or older diagnosed with the infection between 2007 and 2013 were used. The cases were observed for a period of follow-up until December 2017. For the analyses, the Pearson's χ2 test, Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression were adopted according to the outcome of the case, place of residence, distance to the health unit, population size of the municipality of residence, sex, skin color/ethnicity, and age.
    Results: Of the 2,732 analyzed cases, 760 individuals died of Aids-related causes. The average estimate of survival time for individuals residing in the capital was 98.6 months (95%CI 96.1-101). Among residents of inland cities, the estimate was 92.7 months (95%CI 89.3-96.1). There was a significant difference in curves throughout the period. The group residing in inland municipalities and those traveling a distance of >70 km had a higher average relative risk of death (RR=1.21, 95%CI 1.05-1.4 and RR=1.18, 95%CI 1.01-1.39, respectively).
    Conclusion: Living in or near the capital decreases the average relative risk of death. In order to increase the survival time of HIV/Aids patients in Alagoas, it is suggested to decentralize specialized health care, that is, to create regional centers to care for these people.

    Abstract Objective: To analyze the correlation between weather, population size and cases of COVID-19 in the capitals of Brazil. Methods: All confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection, from the first confirmed case from February 26 until May 01, 2020 were included. For weather variables, average temperature (°C), dew point (°C), average humidity (%) and wind speed (m s-1) were extracted from the Instituto de Meteorologia database. The population size of each capital was used as a control variable, with data obtained from Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. Spearman rank correlation tests were utilized to examine the correlation between variables. Results: The analysis showed a significant and strong positive correlation between the total cases of COVID-19 and the population size (p<0,01). There was a significant positive correlation with the average humidity of the air and cumulative cases (p<0,05). There was no significant correlation with other climate variables. Conclusion: Our results confront some expectations commented around the world about a possible seasonality of COVID-19 during periods of low humidity and can assist government and health authorities in decision making to control the pandemic. Studies in other regions are important to strengthen the findings.

    Abstract The COVID-19 death rate in Northeast Brazil is much higher when compared to the national average, demanding a study into the prognosis of the region for planning control measures and preventing the collapse of the health care system. We estimated the potential total cumulative cases of COVID-19 in the region for the next three months. Our study included all confirmed cases, from March 8 until April 28, 2020, collected from the official website that reports the situation of COVID-19 infections in Brazil. The Boltzmann function was applied to a data simulation for each set of data regarding different states. The model data were well fitted, with R2 values close to 0.999. Up to April 28, 20,665 cases were confirmed in the region. The state of Ceará has the highest rate of accumulated cases per 100,000 inhabitants (75.75), followed by Pernambuco. We estimated that the states of Ceará, Sergipe and Paraíba will experience a dramatic increase in the rate of cumulative cases until July 31. Maranhão, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte and Piauí showed a more discreet increase in the model. For Bahia and Alagoas, a 4.7 and 6.6-fold increase in the rate was estimated, respectively. We estimate a substantial increase in the rate of cumulative cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the region within three months, especially for Ceará, Sergipe and Paraíba. The Boltzmann function proved to be a simple tool for epidemiological forecasting that can help planning the measures to contain COVID-19.
