Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the completeness of COVID-19 notification form data on the Indigenous population living in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, in 2020. METHODS: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out on COVID-19 notification data on the Indigenous population living in Espírito Santo in 2020. The scores used to assess completeness were: excellent (>95,0%), good (91,0%-95,0%), regular (81,0%-90,0%), poor (50,0%-80,0%) and very poor (<50,0%). RESULTS: 3,479 notification forms were analyzed. The sociodemographic variables, neighborhood and gender, and the symptom and comorbidity variables showed "excellent" completeness. The scores were "good" for disease classification and "regular" for ethnic group. The schooling variable, considered mandatory, was classified as "very poor". CONCLUSION: The data analyzed had "excellent" completeness (65.3%). "Very poor" completeness was identified for 19.2% of the items evaluated, which shows that some items on the forms had a low standard of data recording.
