Background: Isolation measures used to contain epidemics generate social interaction restrictions and impose changes in routines of the public that increase negative psychological outcomes. Anxiety and depression are the most common symptoms. Objective: To evaluate the mental health of the Brazilian population during the SARs-CoV-2 pandemic and its relationship with demographic and health characteristics. Methods: Adults from all Brazilian States participated (n = 12,196; women: 69.8%, mean age = 35.2 years). The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, and the Impact of Event Scale–revised were used (online survey). Data validity and reliability were verified by confirmatory factor analysis and ordinal alpha coefficient. The probability of presenting psychological symptoms was calculated by multiple logistic regression and odds ratio (OR) (0 = without symptoms, 1 = with mild, moderate, and severe levels of symptoms). Results: High prevalence of depression (61.3%), anxiety (44.2%), stress (50.8%), and psychological impact (54.9%) due to the isolation experienced from the pandemic was found. Younger individuals (OR = 1.58–3.58), those that felt unsafe (OR = 1.75–2.92), with a previous diagnosis of mental health (OR = 1.72–2.64) and/or had general health problems before the pandemic (OR = 1.17–1.51), who noticed changes in their mental state due to the pandemic context (OR = 2.53–9.07), and excessively exposed to the news (OR = 1.19–2.18) were at increased risk of developing symptoms. Women (OR = 1.35–1.65) and those with lower economic status (OR = 1.38–2.69) were more likely to develop psychological symptoms. Lower educational levels increased the likelihood of depressive (OR = 1.03–1.34) and intrusive symptoms (OR = 1.09–1.51). Conclusions: The pandemic and related factors can have a high impact on the mental health of the population. Demographic characteristics can influence the occurrence of psychological symptoms.
Objective. To assess the agreement of 3‐dimensional ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in estimating fetal lung volume in cases with isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Methods. Fetal lung volume was measured in 11 cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (10 left and 1 right) by 3‐dimensional ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. These examinations were performed during the same week. The operators were blinded to each other's results. Intraclass correlation was used to evaluate the agreement between 3‐dimensional ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging estimations of the ipsilateral, contralateral, and total fetal lung volume. A Bland‐Altman graph was plotted to detect possible discordant observations. Results. The global intraclass correlation coefficient between magnetic resonance imaging and 3‐dimensional ultrasonographic measurement of fetal lung volume was 0.94 (95% confidence interval, 0.78–0.98) with no outliers observed on the Bland‐Altman plot. Conclusions. There is a good agreement between 3‐dimensional ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging for fetal lung volume estimation in cases with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
