In Brazil, the disease was recognized in late February 2020, after the confirmation of the first case from the European continent, and in late March the Ministry of Health decreed the status of community transmission in the national territory. Covid-19 reaches different audiences in different ways that mostly present symptoms that start lightly, such asfever, tiredness and dry cough, such symptoms characterize a Flu Syndrome (GS). Some symptoms in their most active form may include pain, nasal congestion, headache, loss of taste or smell, conjunctivitis, sore throat, diarrhea, skin rash, or discoloration of extremities such as fingers or toes. However, onein six people who test positive for Covid-19 have more severe symptoms that correspond to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SRAG). This triggers the most severe respiratory discomfort, such as dyspnea, pressure or persistent pain in the chest, O2 saturation less than 95% in room air and bluish coloring (cyanosis) of the lips or face. In general, the most severe symptoms are present in populations considered at risk, such as the elderly and people with comorbidities. In this context, the importance of drawing an epidemiological profile of hospitalizations by Covid-19 is highlighted, in order to better understand the health situation. In this context, the general objective is to analyze the epidemiological profile of cases hospitalized by covid-19 in the 11th Regional Health Coordination of Rio Grande do Sul. This is a cross-sectional, quantitative epidemiological study, whose secondary data will be obtained by means of consulting the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System (SIVEP-Influenza) database. Study participants will be the total population affected by Covid-19 and hospitalized with SARS, from January 2020 to August 2021, at the 11th CRS of RS. Data collection took place between August and September 2021 after evaluation and approval by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of URI Erechim and the institutions. Data analysis will be performed using descriptive statistics of variables and association using chi-square, with statistical software. In summary, the study revealed that 11°CRS had the majority of hospitalized SARS cases due to Covid-19 and the majority were male and the age group was 60 years or older. Relevant symptoms were respiratory distress, dyspnea, cough, O2 saturation <95%. The most prevalent diseases (comorbidities) were heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The prevalence of hospitalizations for SARS during the pandemic with at least one risk factor was 61% and of hospitalized patients who progressed to death was 24%. It was associated with the presence of one or more risk factors, the variables gender, age, education level and year of hospitalization. Age, education level, skin color, area of residence and presence of risk factors were associated with mortality. The results show the social determination in hospitalization and mortality from Covid-19 in the region of the 11th Regional Health Coordination.pt-BREnfermagemSíndrome respiratória aguda gravePerfil epidemiológicoTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
