Abstract
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of intensive care admission and deaths among inpatients suspected to have COVID-19 in Hospital Universitário Getúlio Vargas (HUGV). Methods: Cross-sectional study with secondary data from discharged patients or deaths of those that had positive RT-PCR for COVID-19. Prevalence ratio and Confidence Interval were calculated using Poisson Regression. Results: The study included 87 individuals. Men (65,5%), elderly ≥ 60 years (47%) and multimorbidity (46%). Women had less association with admission to intensive care (PR= 0.75%; 95%CI: 0.41-1.36) and deaths (PR= 0.57; 95%CI: 0.24-1.34). The time of hospitalization was death protecting factor. Conclusion: Men had a more severe outcome and contributed to higher mortality. Adequate medical records are necessary for a better understanding of suspected cases and to support the most appropriate health policies.
