Resumen
Objetivo: Describir el perfil epidemiológico de pacientes con COVID-19 que evolucionaron a casos más severos de la enfermedad y requirieron hospitalización en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) de un hospital en Juiz de Fora - MG y correlacionar tales características con la clínica resultado del paciente. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio observacional y transversal, en el que se analizaron las historias clínicas de pacientes con COVID-19 internados en la UTI de un hospital de Juiz de Fora - MG, de abril de 2020 a octubre de 2020. Resultados: Se observaron mayores tasas de hospitalización observado en el sexo masculino (62,7%) y la comorbilidad más frecuentemente observada fue la hipertensión arterial sistémica (67,3%). La prueba de independencia chi-cuadrado mostró que existe una asociación entre la muerte y el grupo de edad del paciente. La presencia de comorbilidades no demostró ser un factor predictivo de mayor gravedad, ya que las pruebas de ANOVA no mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas, siendo el tamaño de la muestra una importante limitante para este análisis. Conclusión: El mayor riesgo de casos graves y muertes por COVID-19 se observó en los adultos mayores, lo que posibilita el desarrollo de una conducta profesional adecuada para este grupo específico, evitando resultados desfavorables.
