Objectives This study aims to identify, in scientific productions, the main impacts of the COVID- 19 pandemic on the monitoring of chronic diseases in the elderly in Primary Health Care (PHC). Methodology: The search was carried out using the VHL database, applying inclusion criteria and descriptors. The initial search found 96 articles. A total of 95 full-text articles were selected, 34 of which were in Portuguese. After analyzing the title and abstract, 23 articles were chosen, 11 excluded, resulting in 10 final articles for analysis. Results: The analysis of the articles indicated that the pandemic has hampered the monitoring of chronic diseases in the elderly, with interruptions in care and an overload of health services. Primary Health Care faced difficulties in providing adequate follow- up for these conditions, which negatively affected the health of the elderly. Conclusion: The study highlights the need to strengthen the health system in order to guarantee continuous follow-up of the chronic diseases of the elderly, especially in public health crises. PHC must be strengthened, with a focus on health promotion and prevention of complications, and more robust public policies are essential to ensure the care and quality of life of the elderly in health emergencies.
