“…8 Approximately 90% of wheezing episodes in children up to the third year of life are caused by viral respiratory infections, mainly Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). 4,9,10 The impact that this condition has on quality of life and on the use of medical and hospital resources, as well as its high frequency worldwide, point to the need for better understanding of the epidemiology of wheezing in infants. 2,11 The current study aims to describe the clinical characteristics of the patients studied and to correlate the presence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus with the main risk factors associated with recurrent wheezing, and the main etiological agent of the pathology.…”

Background: The respiratory diseases represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric age group, considered a public health problem and generate a great economic impact given the frequent use of the health system. The current study aims to verify the correlation of respiratory syncytial virus with the main risk factors associated with recurrent wheezing in hospitalized infants. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, carried out from May 2019 to May 2021, through the analysis of 681 electronic medical records in a secondary public hospital. The study included 105 infants aged less than 24 months, hospitalized for recurrent wheezing. The variables analyzed were subdivided into two groups according to the presence of the etiological agent: positive or negative for RSV. Results: Of the sample studied, 75.2% were RSV negative, with a predominance of males and an average age of 13 months. With respect to the risk factors analyzed, there was a higher incidence of prematurity (19.2%), heart disease (11.5%), family history of asthma (61.5%), and use of prophylaxis (73%) among those positive for RSV. Among positive for RSV, we observed greater use of mechanical ventilation (80%) and need for readmissions (65.4%), and a positive correlation was observed between the etiological agent and prematurity (p=0.009*), heart disease (p=0.026*), readmission (p=0.009*), and the use of mechanical pulmonary ventilation (p=0.007*). Conclusion: Faced with this prevalent public health pathology, there is a need to improve clinical care, with qualification and standardization of conduct by general pediatricians.

“…A mortalidade infantil (MI) caracteriza-se como um grave problema de saúde e tem estreita relação com as condições socioeconômicas e de saúde da população. Por isso, a taxa de mortalidade infantil (TMI) é um importante indicador de saúde, pois permite mensurar o risco de morte para menores de um ano e informa sobre o desenvolvimento social de uma comunidade, servindo de alicerce para o planejamento de novas políticas públicas 1,2 .…”

Para análise dos resultados, utilizou-se testes estatísticos não-paramétricos, Qui-quadrado e teste G, capazes de expressar associação estatística. Resultados: Foram notificados 1530 óbitos infantis no estado do Pará, com uma queda em 47,8% entre o período estudado. A população indígena teve a maior taxa de mortalidade. 92,5% (n = 1415) dos óbitos ocorreram no período pós-natal e 51,7% (n = 791) com escolaridade materna entre 4-11 anos. Conclusão: A mortalidade infantil ainda pode e deve ser reduzida, pois em sua grande maioria atinge indivíduos no período pós-natal e possui maior incidência quanto menor a escolaridade materna e menor acesso à saúde. Descritores: mortalidade infantil; doenças transmissíveis; vigilância em saúde pública.Abstract Purpose: To analyze the occurrence of infant mortality due to infectious and parasitic diseases in the state of Pará.Methods: Study with a quantitative, analytical, retrospective approach, covering a historical series from 2008 to 2017. For the analysis of the results, we used non-parametric statistical tests, Chi-square and G test. Results: 1530 infant deaths were reported in the state of Pará, with a fall of 47.8% between the study period. The indigenous population had the highest mortality rate. 92.5% (n = 1415) of deaths occurred in the postnatal period and 51.7% (n = 791) with maternal education between 4-11 years. Conclusion: Infant mortality still can and should be reduced because its great majority affects individuals in the postnatal period and has a higher incidence when lower maternal schooling and lower access to health.
