In early 2020, to halt the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the state government of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil established a public health assessment and response framework known as a "controlled distancing model." Using this framework, the government divided the state into 21 regions and evaluated them against a composite index of disease transmission and health service capacity. Regions were assessed using a color-coded scale of flags that was updated on a weekly basis and used to guide the adoption of nonpharmaceutical interventions.

Department of Surgery, Stomatology, Pathology, and Radiology, Bauru School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo, Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil.
Objectives: The objectives of this retrospective cross-sectional study were to evaluate the demographic profile and aggravating factors in the prognosis of patients with COVID-19 in the years 2020 and 2022.
Methods: From the analysis of medical records, data were collected on age, sex, race, and municipality of residence, as well as dates of onset of symptoms, positive test result and length of hospitalization. Demographic data were analyzed qualitatively, while information on the presence of comorbidities and their influence on length of hospitalization, disease outcome and need for ICU admission were assessed using Pearson's correlation test.
Association between nursing workload and staff size with the occurrence of adverse events and deaths of patients with COVID-19: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: The safety of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is significantly impacted by inadequate staffing of nursing professionals to meet the demand for care of critically ill patients. COVID-19 patients increased nurses' workload, particularly in high-intensity care settings like the ICU.
Aim: To evaluate the association of workload and number of patients per nursing professional with the occurrence of adverse events and death in critically ill patients with COVID-19 in the ICU.
