cord-306952-cpltrsa7	de Souza, Pedro Mansueto Melo	Validation of verbal autopsy and nasopharyngeal swab collection for the investigation of deaths at home during the COVID-19 pandemics in Brazil	2020-11-04		.txt	text/plain	1244	55	51	title: Validation of verbal autopsy and nasopharyngeal swab collection for the investigation of deaths at home during the COVID-19 pandemics in Brazil Moreover, unlike most other Death Verification Services in Brazil, the SVO-RF also implemented a medical team that drives to the houses where the death occurred, to investigate cases where a clinical necropsy was not indicated, such as with patients with advanced cancer diagnoses or other chronic terminal illnesses that die at home, without any home care program. All deaths from this period were investigated through physician-certified verbal autopsies (PCVA), external body examination, and collection of nasopharyngeal swab samples in cases of suspected COVID-19, with the 3 SVO-Mobile teams moving to their homes while continuing to receive bodies at headquarters. Among the 2,115 household deaths in this period, 353 (16.69%) cases had clinical-epidemiological criteria for suspected COVID-19, with the weekly variation starting from 0.00% in the first 2 weeks studied, up to 37.71% in the 20th EW (Table 1) .
