Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 and the current situation for cleft lip/palate treatment surgeries within Brazil's public health system.

Design: Our retrospective study analyzed CL/P corrective surgeries in Brazil's health system using DATASUS TabNet data from March 2020 to December 2022, with historical data from January 2016 to February 2020. We employed ARIMA analysis to estimate pandemic-related surgery cancellations.

Results: In 2020, 1992 (CI 95%: 989-2995) CL/P surgeries were not conducted due to pandemics, a 44.1% (CI 95%: 28.1-54.2%) decrease compared to expectations for march to December 2020. Between the onset of the pandemic in Brazil and the end of 2022, 10,643 surgeries were performed in the country, representing a 33.8% shortfall compared to the expected number for the period (16,076; 95% CI: 9697-22,456).

Conclusion: The study highlights COVID-19's impact on CL/P surgeries in Brazil. Post-pandemic, surgeries increased but regional disparities remain, urging collaborative efforts to improve services and support affected patients.

COVID-19 大流行对巴西唇腭裂手术的影响：评估当前形势。

研究目的本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 的影响以及巴西公共卫生系统中唇腭裂治疗手术的现状：我们的回顾性研究使用 DATASUS TabNet 数据分析了巴西卫生系统中 2020 年 3 月至 2022 年 12 月的唇腭裂矫正手术，以及 2016 年 1 月至 2020 年 2 月的历史数据。我们采用ARIMA分析法估算了与大流行相关的手术取消情况：2020年，1992例（CI 95%：989-2995例）CL/P手术因大流行而未进行，与2020年3月至12月的预期相比减少了44.1%（CI 95%：28.1-54.2%）。从大流行开始到2022年底，巴西共进行了10643例手术，与这一时期的预期数量（16076例；95% CI：9697-22456例）相比，减少了33.8%：本研究强调了 COVID-19 对巴西 CL/P 手术的影响。疫情过后，手术数量有所增加，但地区间的差异依然存在，这就要求各方共同努力，改善服务，为受影响的患者提供支持。
