Abstract

Introduction: Anemia in the world increased during the Covid-19 pandemic; uninterrupted treatment decreases its prevalence: Objective: to determine the relationship between access to treatment and prevalence of anemia before and during the pandemic in children under 5 years of age in the province of Angaraes - Peru. Method: relational research, correlational, cross-sectional design, using data from the Ministry of Health His Report and SIEN through a registration form validated by experts. For access to treatment the population was 771 and 903 children, for prevalence (3651, 3284), (3202 and 2754) children; normality was ruled out by kolmogorof Smirnov, Spearman's Rho and Mann-Whitney U (95% CI) were applied. Results: Before the pandemic, 46.7% accessed treatment without interruption, 19.5% with one month of interruption and 8.2% six months; during the pandemic it increased to 27.2% without interruption, 23.3% with one month of interruption and 19.5% six months; conditioning an increase in prevalence of 4.5% between 2020 and 2021; the mean prevalence before was 35% (95% C.I.: 31.2% - 38.5%); the mean prevalence before the pandemic was 35% (95% C.I.: 31.2% - 38.5%). C 95%: 31.2% - 38.8%) and during was 40.6% (C.I 95%: 36.6% - 44.2%); with an error of 0.005 there is a relationship between access to treatment and prevalence, the Rho Spearman value 0.115 indicates a low relationship; with a p value of 0.000 there is a difference in prevalence before and after. Conclusion: There is a low intensity relationship between access to treatment and prevalence of anemia, the latter being higher during the pandemic.
