Health planning is required for the control and prevention of severe cases of COVID-19 in children.
Spatial analysis of severe COVID-19 cases in children of Pernambuco in the first six months of the pandemic and its autocorrelation with the Human Development Index was conducted.
A total of 551 severe cases (39.4 cases/100,000 inhabitants) was initially concentrated in the metropolitan area, with later interiorization. The spatial autocorrelation of cases was identified. The bivariate analysis revealed alert regions in less developed municipalities (I=0.341; p=0.001).
Considering the local particularities can assist in directing the priorities for decision making.
为了控制和预防儿童 COVID-19 重症病例,需要进行卫生规划。
对疫情前六个月在巴伊亚州的儿童 COVID-19 重症病例进行空间分析,并与人类发展指数进行自相关分析。
共发现 551 例重症病例(39.4 例/100,000 居民),最初集中在大都市区,随后向内陆地区转移。还确定了病例的空间自相关。二元分析显示欠发达城市存在警戒区域(I=0.341;p=0.001)。
考虑到当地的特殊性,可以帮助确定决策的优先事项。
