Incidence, Hospitalizations, Prevalence, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, NotificationAbstract
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) represents a significant public health problem, responsible for high morbidity and mortality rates in Brazil. This study aims to outline the profile of hospitalizations due to SARS in the state of Rio Grande do Sul from 2023 to 2024. This is an exploratory, descriptive, analytical, and retrospective epidemiological study with a quantitative approach. The data were collected from SIVEP-gripe (Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance System) from 2023 to 2025. The data showed an absolute number of 17,644 hospitalizations, presenting an incidence of 29.99, of which an incidence of 25.11%, in addition to a hospital fatality rate of 17.06. By analyzing the data, one can observe the importance of prevention and early intervention in order to reduce severe and lethal cases of the disease. The present study identified that despite the advances, hospitalizations for SARS represent a high rate, suggesting intensification of prevention and disease control campaigns.
