El impacto de la pandemia de Covid-19 sobre la salud. Informe Sespas 2022
Bibliographic Data
Presentar, a los 22 meses de que la Organización Mundial de la Salud declarara como pandemia la infección global por SARS-CoV-2 el 11 de marzo de 2020, el impacto hasta el momento de la pandemia en términos de salud física y mental. Se han revisado resultados procedentes de metaanálisis y revisiones sistemáticas, citándose para algún aspecto específico de interés artículos individuales. La información nacional procede de la Red Nacional de Vigilancia Epidemiológica (RENAVE). Hasta finales de octubre se habían producido más de 250 millones de infecciones y 5 millones de muertes. En España se han notificado 4,7 millones de infecciones, aunque la cifra real es superior a los 7 millones. Se ha reducido la esperanza de vida, con efectos especialmente dramáticos en grupos de población con comorbilidad y de edad avanzada. Se constata un empeoramiento de la salud mental general. Es previsible que algunos colectivos, como los/las profesionales sanitarios/as, en su mayoría mujeres, y trabajadores/as de primera línea, tengan un mayor riesgo de desarrollar patologías de salud mental en el futuro. La pandemia y las medidas de control han tenido otras consecuencias indeseables, como la disminución de la actividad asistencial, el aumento del sedentarismo y el aumento de la violencia de género. Son necesarios estudios longitudinales para determinar la magnitud de las consecuencias de la propia infección y de las medidas de control y las actuaciones necesarias. The World Health Organization declared the global SARS-CoV-2 infection a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The objective of this paper is to present its impact in terms of physical and mental health 22 months later. We have reviewed results from published meta-analysis and systematic reviews, and some individual articles on specific aspects of special interest. National information on infection comes for the Red Nacional de Vigilancia Epidemiológica (RENAVE). Up to the end of October, more than 250 million infections and 5 million deaths had been reported globally. In Spain, 4.7 million infections have been documented although the real figure might be above 7 million. The pandemic has reduced life expectancy, and its effects have been especially dramatic in people with comorbidities and the elderly. There is a worsening of mental health in the general population. It is foreseeable that some groups, such as health professionals, mostly women, and front-line workers, may have a greater risk of developing mental health pathologies. The pandemic and the control measures have had other undesirable consequences such as a decrease in healthcare utilization, an increase in sedentary lifestyle or an increase in gender violence. In addition to its immediate effect on morbidity and mortality, the control measures have damaged the overall health status of the global population. Longitudinal studies are necessary to determine the mid and long consequences of the pandemic and the control measures, and to identify and evaluate effective health interventions
