ABSTRACT

Introduction: The infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become a pandemic that has caused a large number of complications, with fatal evolution in many cases.
Objective: To identify complications in patients with COVID-19 and their relationship with evolution and fatality.
Methods: An observational, descriptive study was carried out in 74 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, in the period from March to May 2020. Age variables were included (grouped in: less than 18 years, 18 to 60 years and more than 60 years), sex, personal pathological history, complications and status at discharge. The frequencies, percentages and the fatality rate were calculated.
Results: 52.6% of the patients were male; there were no complications in less than 18 years, 15.7% of those between 18 and 60 years had them and 61.5% of those over 60; severe pneumonia was the most frequent with 37.5%. Only 2 patients with complications evolved unfavorably; there were no apparent differences between the presence of a medical history and the appearance of complications.
Conclusions: The number of complications is low and the evolution is favorable, regardless of these and the personal pathological antecedents; the fatality rate was low.
