Resumo
Objetivo: Analisar a tendência e o impacto que COVID-19 teve nas notificações de IST (HIV/Aids, Sífilis, HBV e HCV) no Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, de tendência temporal das notificações de IST pela taxa de detecção das infecções no Brasil, de 2015 a 2021. A análise de tendência de 2015 a 2021 foi realizada por meio de um modelo de regressão linear para séries histórica. Para avaliar o impacto da pandemia, os casos esperados foram comparados com os casos observados para os anos de 2015 a 2021. Foi estabelecido um nível de significância de 5%, as análises de tendência foram conduzidas usando o Programa Joinpoint Regression e os valores estimados por meio do Programa R. Resultados: Os resultados demonstram que houve um decréscimo acentuado das taxas de detecção de IST de notificação compulsória no Brasil durante o período pandêmico da Covid-19 e isso se refletiu em todas as regiões do Brasileiras. Conclusão: Durante a pandemia de COVID-19 houve uma redução das notificações de IST. Esses resultados corroboram para estabelecimento de estratégias de vigilância e atenção à saúde para minimizar os impactos no atraso do diagnóstico e tratamento dessas infecções.
