IMPACT OF THE BED OCCUPATION RATE OF THE HOSPITAL STRUCTURE OF THE PUBLIC NETWORK OF THE ILHA DE SÃO LUIS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The coronavirus mainly affects the human respiratory system. In this context, depending on the speed of propagation of the virus in the population, health systems were under strong pressure because of the extra demand generated by the disease, especially between Mar/2020 Jun/2021. In this sense, this study aimed to analyze the hospital structure occupancy rate of the public network of the greater São Luís island in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and to correlate the number of deaths from the disease. This is a retrospective, documentary, descriptive study with a quantitative approach in which information was collected on the number of beds (available, occupied and occupancy rate) and number of deaths between 09/01/2020 and 08/25 /2021. Regarding death between the analyzed period, there was a prevalence in São Luís (76%), followed by São José de Ribamar (15%) and Paço do Lumiar (9%). The result suggests that there is a strong correlation between the bed occupancy rate and the number of deaths (Pearson correlation 0.705; p-value<0.05). It is concluded that the high bed occupancy rate may have had an even greater impact on the number of deaths caused by COVID-19.

  • Abstract:

    The coronavirus mainly affects the human respiratory system. In this context, depending on the speed of propagation of the virus in the population, health systems were under strong pressure because of the extra demand generated by the disease, especially between Mar/2020 Jun/2021. In this sense, this study aimed to analyze the hospital structure occupancy rate of the public network of the greater São Luís island in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and to correlate the number of deaths from the disease. This is a retrospective, documentary, descriptive study with a quantitative approach in which information was collected on the number of beds (available, occupied and occupancy rate) and number of deaths between 09/01/2020 and 08/25 /2021. Regarding death between the analyzed period, there was a prevalence in São Luís (76%), followed by São José de Ribamar (15%) and Paço do Lumiar (9%). The result suggests that there is a strong correlation between the bed occupancy rate and the number of deaths (Pearson correlation 0.705; p-value<0.05). It is concluded that the high bed occupancy rate may have had an even greater impact on the number of deaths caused by COVID-19.
