Factores biológicos y sociodemográficos asociados al dengue en la provincia de El Oro durante el año 2020

Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by the bite of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. It affects people of all ages and causes mild, severe, and even deadly cases, which constitutes a public health problem. Therefore, this research aims to determine dengue prevalence and the relation between this disease and biological and sociodemographic factors in the population of El Oro during 2020. This study was quantitative, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional, and retrospective. The sample comprised 861 positive dengue cases with no-alarm signs (DSSA in Spanish acronyms). The data was obtained from the UNL epidemiological gazette called Health Spatial/Temporal Distribution Code UNL-GETES. Regarding the biological factors, the results showed that 50.6% of the cases were male and 50.8% of the participants’ age ranged from 20 to 65 years old. In regards to sociodemographic factors, 65.7% of the participants were from Machala, 88.5% lived in the urban residence zone, and 52.8% were students. The prevalence rate of DSSA for El Oro in 2020 was 120 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. It was found that there is a significant correlation between dengue and biological and sociodemographic factors, except for the gender of the studied sample. It is concluded that, despite the prevention activities implemented by the Integrated Epidemiological Surveillance System (SIVE in Spanish acronyms), the factors studied have an impact on dengue prevalence in the Ecuadorian southern region
