Epidemiological Profile

Abstract Objectives: to describe the clinical-epidemiological profile of children and adolescents notified by COVID-19 in Ceará. Methods: descriptive epidemiological study from open data repositories of the State Government of Ceará, about cases of OVID-19 in children and adolescents, from 03/15/2020 to 07/31/2020. For data analysis the tests χ2 Pearson, Fisher's exact and Poisson's regression with robust variance were used. Results: 48,002 cases of children and adolescents suspected of COVID-19 were reported, of which 18,180 (8.9%) were confirmed. The median of confirmed cases was 12 years old, 10.5% were newborns/lactants, 10.7% were pre-school children, 21.2% were school children and 57.7% were adolescents. They evolved to death 0.3% of the cases, of which 15% had comorbidities. They needed hospitalization 1.8% of the cases. The highest probability of hospitalization was found in newborns/lactants, male and with comorbidities. Conclusions: most of the confirmed cases occurred in adolescents, however, the evolution of the disease was more severe and with greater need for hospitalization in the age group of newborns/lactants, being the male gender and the presence of comorbidities additional factors for the need for hospitalization.

Hearing Problems

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.

Energy And Nutrient Intake

A study was conducted on the influence of maternal education level on food consumption, energy and nutrient intake, and dietary adequacy in 110 pre-school children from Madrid, Spain. With increasing maternal education, children consumed more sugar (p < 0.05), fruit (p < 0.05), and fish (p < 0.05). Snacking was more frequent with decreasing maternal education (p < 0.05). Though statistical significance was not reached, the consumption of pre-cooked foods was greater among children of mothers educated to a higher level, a phenomenon probably related to the work situation of these women. With respect to dietary composition, no significant differences were found between groups for macronutrient, fiber and energy intakes, except for energy supplied by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which was greater in the children of less educated women (p < 0.01). This is probably due to their greater consumption of sunflower seed oil. The diets of children belonging to well-educated mothers came closer to meeting the recommended intakes for folate, vitamin C, and iodine. It would seem that maternal educational level influences the food habits of children. Mothers with less education may require special advice in this area.
