Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar los trastornos neurológicos y conductuales de la infección por SARS-CoV-2 en Brasil. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo a partir de la base de datos DATASUS. Se evaluaron variables como alteraciones de la conciencia/estado mental alterado, manifestaciones psicopatológicas, tasa de mortalidad e ingreso en UCI mediante odds ratio (OR) y test de dos colas (p-valor). Resultados: Se informaron trastornos neurológicos y del comportamiento en 564 (3,13%) pacientes, que se manifestaron como confusión (0,77%), disminución del nivel de conciencia (DNC) (0,46%), somnolencia (0,37%), disminución del estado general (0,37%) y síncope (0,32%). La DNC (OR: 3,04, p < 0,01), la desorientación (OR: 2,62, p < 0,01), la confusión (OR: 2,29, p < 0,01), el deterioro del estado general (OR: 2,09, p < 0,01) y la alteración sensorial (OR:1,91, p = 0,03) se asociaron significativamente con la mortalidad en los pacientes COVID-19 hospitalizados. El vértigo mostró una asociación negativa con la mortalidad por enfermedad (OR: 0,26, p < 0,01) y agitación tuvo la mayor mortalidad observada (82%, p < 0,01). Conclusión: El vértigo se asoció negativamente con la mortalidad, mientras que la RNC, la desorientación, la confusión, la disminución del estado general y los cambios sensoriales fueron positivos.
