Abstract
Introduction: Many countries are studying the risk factors associated with death in patients with COVID-19, due to the impact that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had globally. Although there are several studies on this disease in our country, research that explores the risk factors associated with COVID-19-related mortality in people who were hospitalized for this pathology is scarce. Objective: To determine the risk factors that could influence mortality in patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 in Hospital de Quillota. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. All adult patients hospitalized with a main diagnosis of COVID-19 during 2020 and the first semester of 2021 were included. Five risk factors were analyzed: age over 60 years, male gender, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Results: The sample consisted of 428 subjects, with a mean age of 58.8 years, where 50.7% were older than 60 years, 56% were men, and 63.4% presented some comorbidity. Hospital fatality was 26.6%. People over 60 years of age had a 40% risk of mortality, with 3 times more risk of death than those younger than 60 years. No significant statistical relationship was observed between the remaining factors and the risk of death. Conclusion: It was found that age greater than 60 years is a risk factor that could influence mortality in patients hospitalized for COVID-19.
