Abstract

Objective: To analyze the prevalence and factors associated with the need for intensive care by adults hospitalized due to Covid-19 in the state of Paraná. Method: This was a cross-sectional study of compulsory notifications of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome associated with Covid-19. Poisson regression models were applied in the univariate and multivariate analysis, with associations estimated by Prevalence Ratio. Results: 61,213 hospitalizations due to Covid-19 were recorded in the state. The majority of patients were between 45 and 59 years old, male, white and had no risk factors/comorbidities. The severity and need for intensive care were associated with age, gender, race/color, use of influenza immunization, diagnosis of previous comorbidities, having presented moderate/severe symptoms and place of residence other than the municipality of hospitalization. Conclusion: The worst Covid-19 outcomes were influenced by sociodemographic, clinical and epidemiological factors, which were related to the severity of the disease and the need for intensive care. A high prevalence of hospitalization in Intensive Care Units was identified, given the intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of individuals.
