BACKGROUND
In March 2020, social isolation measures were imposed in Brazil to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), requiring health services to implement contingency plans. The main objective of the study was to verify the status of the disease, self-reported by patients who discontinued phototherapy, during a period of social isolation.
METHODS
All patients receiving phototherapy at the Santa Casa de Porto Alegre, Brazil, prior to the implementation of social distancing measures were eligible for inclusion in the study. 86 patients answered a questionnaire during a medical evaluation.
RESULTS
95% of patients who stopped phototherapy reported a worsening of disease status. Only 19% of patients continued to attend phototherapy sessions during the social isolation period.
CONCLUSION
The COVID-19 pandemic led most patients to stop phototherapy, resulting in the perception of increased disease severity in an outpatient sample in southern Brazil.
背景
2020 年 3 月，巴西实施了社会隔离措施以控制新型冠状病毒（SARS-CoV-2）的传播，要求卫生服务机构制定应急计划。该研究的主要目的是在社会隔离期间验证已停止光疗的患者自我报告的疾病状况。
方法
在实施社会隔离措施之前，在巴西圣家阿雷格里港接受光疗的所有患者均有资格入组本研究。86 名患者在医疗评估期间回答了一份问卷。
结果
95%停止光疗的患者报告疾病状况恶化。只有 19%的患者在社会隔离期间继续接受光疗。
结论
COVID-19 大流行导致大多数患者停止光疗，导致在巴西南部的一个门诊样本中出现对疾病严重程度的感知增加。
