Abstract

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spreads rapidly and has unstable behavior. Although most clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are asymptomatic or mild, there are severe forms that require admission to an Intensive Care Unit. Objective: to analyze the factors associated with survival and mortality of people with COVID-19 admitted to an intensive care unit. Method: This is a retrospective cohort study from March to August 2020, of people with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit of a public hospital that is a reference for treating infectious diseases in the State of Ceará, Brazil. The survival probability was determined using Kaplan Meier, with survival calculations using the R version 3.2 software and comparison between survival curves. A significance level of p=0.05 was considered. Results: Of the 92 people with COVID-19, 66.3% were men, obese (23.38%), with cardiovascular disease (19.48%) and HIV (19.48%). A statistically significant difference (p=0.03) was observed with hypertension. The average survival time was 33.93. Mortality from COVID-19 was 69.6%. Conclusion: The chance of survival was greater in women. Older age, male sex, obesity and hypertension were associated with a higher risk of death. The results of this study can help managers and healthcare professionals identify high-risk groups that should receive invasive interventions and supportive care.
