0323/2020 - Impacto e tendência da COVID-19 no sistema penitenciário do Brasil: Um estudo ecológico Impact and trend of COVID-19 on the Brazilian penitentiary system: An ecological study
Tendo em vista a rápida disseminação do novo corona vírus no sistema prisional, o presente trabalho teve como objetivos identificar aglomerados espaciais para ocorrência da COVID-19 na população privada de liberdade (PPL) e analisar a tendência temporal dos casos confirmados no sistema penitenciário do Brasil. Estudo ecológico que considerou como unidades de análise as cinco macrorregiões do Brasil, seus 26 estados e o Distrito Federal. A população foi composta por todos os casos de COVID-19 confirmados, no período de 14 de abril a 31 de agosto de 2020. A fonte de dados utilizada foi o Painel de Monitoramento dos casos de COVID-19 nos sistemas prisionais do Departamento Penitenciário Nacional. Realizou-se análise descritiva, estatística de varredura e análise da tendência temporal. No período do estudo, foram notificados 18.767 casos de COVID-19 na PPL, dos quais 4.724ocorreram no estado de São Paulo. A estatística de varredura possibilitou a identificação de 14 clusters espaciais de risco para COVID-19 na PPL, sendo o aglomerado de maior risco formado pelo Distrito Federal. Embora o país finalize a série com um comportamento decrescente, observa-se que no período de investigação a tendência apresentou um comportamento maioritariamente crescente. Evidencia-se a necessidade de testagem em massa, monitoramento e registro contínuo dos casos de COVID-19 na PPL do país.

Abstract:
Given the rapid spread of new coronavirus in the prison system, this study aimed to identify spatial clusters for the occurrence of COVID-19 in the prison populationand analyze the temporal trend of confirmed cases in the penitentiary system in Brazil. An ecological study which considered as units of analysis the five macro-regions of Brazil, its 26 states, and the Federal District. The population was composed of all confirmed cases of COVID-19,April 14 to August 31, 2020. The data source used was the Monitoring Panel for COVID-19 cases in the prison systems of the National Penitentiary Department. Descriptive analysis, scanning statistics, and time trend analysis were performed. During the study period, 18,767 cases of COVID-19 were reported in the prison population, of which 4,724 occurred in the state of São Paulo. The scanning statistics enabled the identification of 14 spatial risk clusters for COVID-19 in the PPL, being the highest risk cluster formed by the Federal District. Although the country ends the series with a decreasing behavior, it is observed that in the investigation period the trend showed a mostly increasing behavior. The need for mass testing, monitoring and continuous registration of COVID-19 cases in the country’s prison population is evident.
