SUMMARY:

INTRODUCTION: Chikungunya Fever is a disease that, in its acute phase, causes polyarthralgia, myalgia and fever, and its symptoms can last for a period of up to three years after its initial presentation. After the great national outbreak experienced in the year 2015, in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, more than 16,800 cases have been registered, until the year 2019. OBJECTIVE: Analyze the cases of elderly people affected by Chikungunya Fever in Rio Grande do Norte, between 2016 and 2020. METHODS: This is a hybrid analytical epidemiological study, part cross-sectional, part ecological. The data on disease notification and deaths of the elderly due to Chikungunya Fever were obtained from the Information System for Notifiable Diseases and the Mortality Information System, respectively. The population was composed of elderly people, aged 60 years or older, residing in Rio Grande do Norte, in the period between 2016 and 2020. The data were analyzed according to the dependent variables, disease notification and deaths, through the Software SPSS, version 20. An evaluation of the Epidemiological Surveillance Systems was performed, regarding their quality and acceptability. The ecological part will be composed of a spatial analysis, according to the municipalities of residence, done through the TerraView software; and a linear regression analysis, done with the Joinpoint software, to evaluate any change in the trend line. RESULTS: There were 4,994 cases of elderly people affected by Chikungunya Fever, between the years 2016 and 2020, predominantly females (63.3%), with an average age of 70.5 years (±8.2 years), black and brown (62.1%), with 49.4% without having completed elementary school. In the period, 47 deaths (0.94%) with Chikungunya fever as the cause of death were registered in the Mortality Information System. The completion of all data evaluated by the municipalities was considered regular (67.34%). There were 117 cases (2.29%) with duplicate notification. Regarding the dissonance of data among the three spheres, a discrepancy was observed by the low notification of cases by the headquarters city of VI URSAP, compared to data at state and national levels; and by the high number of notifications by the headquarters of VIII URSAP, also compared to state and national levels.
