Abstract: Antecedentes: En Perú y otros países latinoamericanos, diversos medicamentos para tratar la COVID-19 se han sugerido como parte de las guías de práctica clínica a lo largo de la pandemia. No se conoce a nivel regional o nacional los patrones de búsquedas en la web sobre medicamentos para la COVID-19. Objetivo: Determinar las tendencias de búsquedas en la web acerca de algunos medicamentos utilizados para tratar la COVID-19 en Perú y describir su relación temporal con las políticas públicas y su correlación con la confirmación diaria de casos de COVID-19. Material y métodos: Se usó Google Trends para determinar el nivel de búsquedas online sobre ivermectina, hidroxicloroquina, azitromicina, dexametasona y oxígeno en áreas geográficas específicas durante la primera cuarentena en Perú. Resultados: El medicamento “ivermectina” obtuvo 100 de GTI (Google Trends Index), “dexametasona” 47 de GTI, “azitromicina” 32 de GTI y “oxigeno” 28 de GTI. La correlación de Spearman entre el número de casos y las búsquedas de azitromicina (Rs 0.88245) e hidroxicloroquina (Rs 0.80927) fue muy fuerte, para ivermectina (Rs 0.78382) y dexametasona (Rs 0.74871) fue moderada y para oxigeno (Rs 0.31815) fue aceptable. Conclusiones: Las tendencias de búsqueda online de medicamentos para tratar la COVID-19 en Perú se incrementaron y tuvieron una correlación positiva con el número de casos de COVID-19 confirmados diariamente y una relación temporal con las normas nacionales sobre posibles tratamientos para la COVID-19.
Background: In Peru and other Latin American countries, many drug treatments for COVID-19 were suggested as part of their national clinical practice guidelines. It is not known the level of web searches of these treatments either regionally or nationally. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the online drug treatment search engine trends for COVID-19 in Peru and describe temporal correlations with national policies and the daily confirmation of COVID-19 cases. Materials and methods: We use Google Trends to describe the level of online searches about ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, dexamethasone and oxygen in specific geographic areas during the first quarantine in Peru. Results: Ivermectin (“Ivermectina”) 100 GTI (Google Trends Index), dexamethasone (“dexametasona”) has obtained 47 GTI, azithromycin(“azitromicina”) has obtained 32 GTI and oxygen(“oxigeno”) has obtained 28 GTI. The correlation of Spearman between the number of cases and the searches of azithromycin (Rs 0.88245) and hydroxychloroquine (Rs 0.80927) was very strong, ivermectin (Rs 0.78382) and dexamethasone (Rs 0.74871) was moderate and oxygen was accepted. Conclusions: Online search trends for drugs to treat COVID-19 in Peru increased and had a positive correlation with the number of COVID-19 cases confirmed daily and a temporal relationship with national regulations on possible treatments for COVID- 19.
