Modeling mortality risk in patients with severe COVID-19 from Mexico.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the COVID-19 disease pandemic that began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Since then, nearly seven million deaths have occurred worldwide due to COVID-19. Mexicans are especially vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic as Mexico has nearly the worst observed case-fatality ratio (4.5%). As Mexican Latinos represent a vulnerable population, this study aimed to determine significant predictors of mortality in Mexicans with COVID-19 who were admitted to a large acute care hospital.

Methods

In this observational, cross-sectional study, 247 adult patients participated. These patients were consecutively admitted to a third-level referral center in Yucatan, Mexico, from March 1st, 2020
