Abstract:

Objective: To assess the magnitude and profile of deaths from post-Covid-19 conditions in Brazil. Methods: Descriptive study based on preliminary data from the Mortality Information System that occurred in 2021. Records with ICD code B94.8 as the Basic Cause and with code U09 in some line of part I or II of the declaration were considered for analyses. The distribution of deaths by geographic region, semester of occurrence, sex, age group, race/color, schooling and place of occurrence was evaluated. Results: A total of 2,948 deaths from conditions subsequent to Covid-19 were recorded, ranging from 0.5 deaths per 1,000 records in the Northeast Region to 3.6/1,000 in the Midwest Region. More than half occurred among males (58.0%), those aged 60 years or older (66.9%) and white skin color (51.8%). Conclusion: Deaths from conditions subsequent to Covid-19 had distinct sociodemographic characteristics between regions.
