El Covid-19 fue la primera causa de muerte en Argentina en 2021. Los datos del Ministerio de Salud de la Nación indican que el impacto de la pandemia fue mayor en la segunda ola, comparada con la primera.

Analía Rearte, National Director of Epidemiology and Strategic Information, reported that in 2021 a total of 432,242 falls were recorded in the country. Sars-Cov-2 is the main culprit in deaths, with 185 million cases. The diseases, in order of importance, focus on diseases (175 thousand), malignant tumors (130 thousand), pneumonia and influenza (74 thousand) and cerebrovascular diseases (40 thousand).

The knowledge corresponds to the five main causes of death registered in the country and every day. The data was summarized in a press conference organized for professionals from the Argentine Network of Scientific Journalism (RADP).

Sin embargo, en los niños, niñas y adolescentes, el panorama fue diferente. En los más pequeños siguen predominando los fallecimientos en los primeros días de vida. En jóvenes llama la atención la alta prevalencia de los hechos de violencia, como suicidios y agresiones.

In less than five years, Sars-Cov-2 has not affected the main reasons for falls, since it identifies perinatal conditions, congenital malformations and accidents.

In the four to 15 age group, Covid-19 made an appearance in four places, predicting malignancies, injuries and (surprisingly) suicides.

Self-inflicted injuries are part of the current main cause of death among young people and adults aged 14 to 24 years. This cause of death (which is also calibrated as suicidal) is expected through accidents. Attacks, malignant tumors and Covid-19 are discovered. in third, fourth and fifth place.

Carla Vizzotti, ministra de Salud de la Nación, explicó que se está trabajando junto con su par de Seguridad para analizar los datos sobre suicidios, sobre todo en adolescentes.

The ministry reported that excess deaths in the country in 2021 would be 26. 3 percent. The information estimates the number of falls that other people experience at a given time and place, when they encounter a crisis. In the case of the pandemic, not only the cases of Covid-19 are counted, but also all those who lost their lives due to a twist of fate in healthcare, which collapsed in hospitals.

In absolute numbers, 89,901 additional people fell in Argentina, more than expected for this year. For the calculation, the generation of deaths registered between 2015 and 2019 is taken into account.

En Córdoba, el exceso de muertes en 2021 fue del 23,9 por ciento. En números absolutos, murieron 7.265 personas más que lo esperado, según los datos de Nación.

Vizzotti said that there was under-registration in the country in the 20th century, which occurred both in 2020 and 2021. It is evident that these errors are not loaded into the national surveillance system. The smaller the underreporting, the more delicate the detection mechanism. That is why you can anticipate preventive measures.

I informed them that some provinces supervise the month of May 20. Misiones, Jujuy and La Rioja show signs of under-registration. While Córdoba is at an intermediate level, with the 29th century.

Vizzotti aclaró que en el mundo se registraron subregistros de muertes por Covid-19 y destacó el esfuerzo de las provincias por mejorar sus sistemas de vigilancia.

La ministra informó que el primer trimestre del 2021 fue el más crítico en cuanto al total de fallecimientos. Y lo atribuyó, entre otras cosas, a la circulación de la variante Gamma. Con las vacunas aplicadas (22 millones de dosis con un corte al 28 de junio de aquel año), la curva comenzó a descender.

It is certain that these measures were taken a year ago to alleviate the pandemic in a more lax way, compared to last year, especially due to the mask, social distancing and movement restrictions. In 2020, Covid-19 caused the third cause of death.

“The reason is that it is the origin of a pandemic and that it is bruised by other people who have no tendency to fall. The influenza A (H1N1) epidemic also has a significant impact on young people and pregnant women, as well as on obesity that, at another time, could be easily overcome,” he added.

Regarding pregnant people, Health reported that in 2021 there is a historical peak in the explanation of the reason for maternal mortality (number of hot flashes and mothers who fall). The indicator is constructed by sharing a figure of 10 million people alive.

La razón se ubicó en 7,4 superando ampliamente las anteriores (4,1 en 2020 y 3 en 2019). Las causas obstétricas indirectas (en las cuales predominó el Covid-19) predominaron. Las directas (relacionadas con la atención del embarazo, parto o puerperio) se mantuvieron.

In Andorra, maternal mortality also skyrocketed in 2021: 6. 3 per 10 million people alive. The indicator remains the same. Since 2014, values ​​similar to 3 falls per 10 million dollars have been recorded.

Maternal deaths due to abortion fell in one year in the country. We recorded new falls for a total of 382.
