| Sumario: | Objective: To analyze the factors associated with the confirmation determinants of notified Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) cases. Method: A cross-sectional study using two accompanying data for notifications in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, between February and August 2020. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were performed with odds ratios as the association measure. Results: A total of 38,178 cases were reported, of which 59.9% were confirmed. Factors associated with confirmation determinants included: male (OR: 1.08; 95% CI=1.02-1.14), older adults (OR 1.15; 95% CI=1.09-1.22) and race/white (OR:1.10; CI95%=1.03-1.17). Change in smell/taste isolated or associated with symptomatology (OR 2.41; 95% CI=2.13-2.72) and unreported deaths (OR: 2.74; 95% CI=2.57-2.92) have more chance of confirmation for COVID-19. Conclusion: The confirmation determinants for the notified cases demonstrate the importance of clinical symptoms such as loss of smell and taste, as well as evolution to death as an outcome. |
