Introduction: Coronavirus disease is a multisystemary inflammatory disease produced by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 or SARS-CoV-2. Acute respiratory distress syndrome is the main clinical form of presentation and the severity of the disease can vary from asymptomatic or mild to severe, taking into account different parameters for each degree of severity. Objective: To determine whether the Quetelet index is a predictive factor of severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients of the Intensive Care Unit of the National Hospital Adolfo Guevara Velazco of the city of Cusco (HNAGV), 2020-2022. Methods: Study of explanatory, observational, analytical approach of cases and controls, quantitative, retrospective, transversal. The research tool was a data collection sheet that was applied in the review of 527 clinical histories of the Intensive Care Unit that met the inclusion criteria for both controls and cases, in the HNAGV between the years 20202023. The statistical analysis was performed using univariate analysis, stratified bivariate and multivariate linear regression analysis. Results: In those patients who are pre-obese, there is a 2,739-fold risk of developing a severe condition during COVID-19 infection (OR=2,739 LI:1,472, LS:5,098), with type I obesity the risk of severity increases 4-fold ( OR=4.00 LI:1.915, LS:8.357), for type II obesity the risk increases to 2.891 (OR=2.891 LI:1.1827, LS: 7.059). For mortality, type I obesity (OR=2.365 LI:1.044, LS:5.356) predicts mortality with a 2.365 times higher risk. Conclusions: BMI is a factor of severity and mortality in CUSCO HNAGV UCI patients, in approximately 70.83% of cases.
