Purpose: to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in primary care and to analyze the predictive role of different risk factors on prognosis, especially living conditions. Methods: Retrospective longitudinal observational retrospective study by reviewing medical records from a primary care center since March 1 to April 30, 2020. Case definition of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, sociodemographic data, clinical characteristics, comorbidity and living conditions were collected. The statistical analysis consisted in description of the sample, comparison of prognosis groups and analysis of prognostic factors. Results. A sample of 70 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was obtained, with comorbidity mainly related to arterial hypertension, overweight/obesity, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and chronic pulmonary pathology. Pneumonia was present in 66%. Exitus occurred in 14% of the sample. Factors associated with mortality were advanced age (84 vs 55; p<0.0001), arterial hypertension (78% vs 41%; p=0.040), asthma-COPD (56% vs 13%; p=0.008) and atrial fibrillation (56% vs 5%; p=0.001). Conclusions. The study reflects the clinical practice of a primary care center. This kind of studies are essential to strengthen and reorganize the Health System and to try to anticipate the medium- to long-term consequences of COVID-19 on global health.

AbstractBackgroundMyalgia in patients can be associated with a large array of conditions, including injuries, infections and inflammations. Treatment for myalgia may include the use of oral, topical and injectable medicines (IM). However, the use of IM has been restricted by the World Health Organization due to the common hazards associated with inappropriate medicine use, risks of disease transmission and more expensive spending for using IM. Accordingly, the Ministry of Health of Indonesia (MoH) has limited the use at the level of ≤1% in every primary care center (Puskesmas) across the nation. The aim of this study was to report and evaluate rational drug use injection in myalgia in a Puskesmas in Pamekasan, Indonesia.MethodsThis study reviewed official documents, such as rational drug use report, medicine use databases and drug request report. The documents were obtained from the district health office or public domain from 2014 to 2018. Data were then collated, extracted and presented as frequencies.ResultsThe average rate of use of IM for myalgia in Pamekasan was 36.15%. All 20 Puskesmas in Pamekasan conducted injection practice above the recommended level, thus reflecting a major gap between practice and policy implementation. This study implies that a substantial effort is needed to enforce the policy.ConclusionsThe use of IM for myalgia treatment in Pamekasan from 2014 to 2018 was significantly higher than the recommended level, thus reflecting a major problem in the practice. This is an alarming call for the local healthcare stakeholders to improve such a situation.
