SUMMARY:

At the end of 2019, the SARS-COV2 virus, which causes the disease COVID-19, was identified in China,
and quickly spread globally. Although COVID-19 is mostly a respiratory syndrome, it can affect multiple
systems. This work aims to identify the clinical and sociodemographic factors associated with the
development of the critical form and the occurrence of death due to COVID19 in adults living in
Cajazeiras, state of Paraíba (PB) admitted to the Hospital Regional de Cajazeiras (HRC). This is an
observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, time series research, in which data will be collected through
the medical records of all patients confirmed to have Covid19, who were admitted to the Hospital
Regional de Cajazeiras, PB, during the period March 21, 2020, to March 31, 2022, with the critical form
of the disease and which progressed to hospital discharge or death. The time frame refers to the period
in which the HRC was a reference unit for treating the condition. In the present study, the absolute and
relative frequencies of all variables were calculated, and the distribution of clinical and epidemiological
characteristics was verified, namely: age group, race/color, sex, comorbidities, prevalent clinical
manifestations, length of stay. Data organization and tabulation were carried out in Microsoft Excel.
Among the cases analyzed, there was a predominance of deaths among older people, brown or black,
with low levels of education and income; and comorbidities, with cardiovascular pathologies being the
most common. The advancement of vaccination in the period between age groups and throughout the
historical series contributed to the reduction in the number of deaths. With the results presented, the
study offers valuable information about the impact of COVID-19 in the Cajazeiras region, contributing to
the understanding of the social and health determinants associated with death due to COVID-19,
helping to guide public policies that can contribute to improve the response to the consequences of the
pandemic.
