Marco contextual: El exceso de mortalidad durante la COVID-19 no se explica completamente por la infección.
Objetivos: Evaluar las causas subyacentes del exceso de muertes durante la pandemia en Portugal continental (PC).
Metodología: Defunciones por causa subyacente y población, por sexo y edad (< 60, 60-69, 70-79 y > = 80), para 2015-2019 y 2020-2021 obtenido del INE. Evaluación de diferencias entre períodos utilizando la razón de mortalidad estandarizada (RPM) y el respectivo intervalo de confianza del 95% (IC del 95%).
Resultados: La mortalidad por “enfermedades mentales y Del comportamiento” fue mayor de lo esperado particularmente en mujeres más jóvenes (RPM = 168%; IC95%:127-217) y mayores (RPM = 140%; IC95%:137-144). La mortalidad por “enfermedades del aparato genitourinario” es mayor a la esperada en la mayor edad, con valores de RPM entre 110% (IC95%:105-114) y 113% (IC95%:104-122). La mortalidad por “enfermedades del sistema circulatorio” es menor de lo esperado en los grupos de edad de hasta 80 años.
Conclusión: Los “trastornos mentales y del comportamiento” y las “enfermedades del sistema genitourinario” aparecen asociados a vulnerabilidad durante el COVID-19.
