Objectives:

to analyse the risk factors associated with morbidity and mortality in patients with covid-19 at the Hospital Dr. Benigno Sánchez.

Methods:

a retrospective descriptive was conducted, the source of information was collected from medical records of hospitalised patients over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of covid-19, with a sample of 26 patients hospitalised in the COVID-19 area in January and February.

Results:

It is evident from the table that the mean age of the patients who evolved favorably is +/-62 years, anc that the most affected sex requiring hospitalisation is male, which made up a total of 20 of the 25 patients in the sample taken from the Benigno Sanchez hospital.

Conclusions:

the male sex and the elderly are the most affected population, besides being the ones who present more covid-19 symptoms with a tendency to develop complications, requiring hospitalization for a better management of the disease evolution.
