Abstract:

Objectives: To analyze the profile of people with disabilities among the cases notified by the COVID-19 panel of Espírito Santo and possible associations with the positive result of the COVID-19 test. Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study among people with disabilities with positive and negative tests for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Associations of epidemiological and clinical variables were performed using the chi-square test and logistic regression models to estimate the odds ratio. Results: The mortalityCOVID-19 was 4.9% (175 cases) in the group of people with disabilities, and 3% (3,016) in the group without disabilities. Disabled people, male (OR=1.34; 1.22-1.47), black race/color (OR=1.55; 1.09- 2.20), and those who were hospitalized (OR= 2.27; 95%CI 1.71 – 3.02) were associated with positive tests for COVID-19. Conclusions: The pandemic emphasizes the need to create specific legal care mechanisms and targeted public policies for this population.
