摘要

目的:关于斐济、世界卫生组织西太平洋区域以及低收入和中等收入国家2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)导致的死亡的公开信息有限。本报告按年龄组、性别、种族、地理位置、疫苗接种状况和2021年社区疫情暴发前7个月的死亡地点对斐济与COVID-19直接相关的死亡情况进行了描述性分析。方法:对斐济2021年4月15日至11月14日期间发生的与COVID-19直接相关的死亡进行回顾性分析。使用2021年从医疗区护士获得的分区人口估计数计算每10万人口的死亡率。结果:共报告了1298例与COVID-19相关的死亡病例,其中696例与COVID-19直接相关,因此被纳入分析。其中,71.1%(495例)发生在中部地区,54.6%(380例)发生在男性中,75.6%(526例)发生在土著(iTaukei)族裔人群中,79.5%(553例)发生在未接种疫苗的人群中。4例死亡被列为产妇死亡。最高的死亡比例发生在370岁(44.3%,308人),大多数死亡(56.6%,394人)发生在家中。讨论:斐济COVID-19死亡率的高危人群包括男性、伊托凯人、老年人(370岁)和未接种疫苗的个人。很高比例的死亡发生在家中或住院头2天内,这可能表明不愿寻求医疗保健,也可能表明在疫情高峰期卫生保健系统受到压力。

Descriptive analysis of deaths associated with COVID-19 in Fiji, 15 April to 14 November 2021.

Descriptive analysis of deaths associated with COVID-19 in Fiji, 15 April to 14 November 2021.

Descriptive analysis of deaths associated with COVID-19 in Fiji, 15 April to 14 November 2021.

Objective: There is limited published information about deaths due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Fiji, the World Health Organization's Western Pacific Region and low- and middle-income countries. This report descriptively analyses deaths directly associated with COVID-19 in Fiji by age group, sex, ethnicity, geographical location, vaccination status and place of death for the first 7 months of the 2021 community outbreak.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of deaths directly associated with COVID-19 that occurred from 15 April to 14 November 2021 in Fiji. Death rates per 100 000 population were calculated by using divisional population estimates obtained from medical zone nurses in 2021.

Results: A total of 1298 deaths relating to COVID-19 were reported, with 696 directly associated with COVID-19 and therefore included in the analysis. Of these, 71.1% (495) were reported from the Central Division, 54.6% (380) occurred among males, 75.6% (526) occurred among people of indigenous (iTaukei) ethnicity and 79.5% (553) occurred among people who were unvaccinated. Four deaths were classified as maternal deaths. The highest percentage of deaths occurred in those aged 370 years (44.3%, 308), and the majority of deaths (56.6%, 394) occurred at home.

Discussion: At-risk populations for COVID-19 mortality in Fiji include males, iTaukei peoples, and older (370 years) and unvaccinated individuals. A high proportion of deaths occurred either at home or during the first 2 days of hospital admission, potentially indicating both a reluctance to seek medical care and a health-care system that was stressed during the peak of the outbreak.
