Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar la tendencia y el impacto que tuvo la COVID-19 en las notificaciones de ITS (VIH/Sida, Sífilis, VHB y VHC) en Brasil. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio ecológico, con tendencia temporal de las notificaciones de ITS por la tasa de detección de infección no Brasil, de 2015 a 2021. El análisis de tendencia de 2015 a 2021 se realizó mediante el uso de una regresión lineal. Modelo para series históricas. Para evaluar el impacto de la pandemia se compararon los casos esperados con los casos observados para los años 2015 a 2021. Se estableció un nivel de significancia del 5%, además del programa versión R. Resultados: Los resultados demuestran que hubo una fuerte disminución en las tasas de notificación obligatoria de ITS en Brasil durante el período de la pandemia de Covid-19. La reducción gradual de las tasas de detección de ITS en todas las regiones brasileñas durante el período de pandemia. Conclusión: Durante la pandemia de COVID-19 hubo una reducción de las notificaciones de ITS. Estos resultados respaldan el establecimiento de estrategias de vigilancia y atención médica para minimizar los impactos del retraso en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de estas infecciones.
