The objective of this research was to analyze the factors associated with the mortality of patients with COVID-19 at the Cusco Regional Hospital during 2020. The statistical techniques of Kaplan Meier and Cox Regression were applied. The design of the study was basic, with a descriptive-correlational scope, non-experimental, longitudinal, and retrospective. We worked with a population of 1,775 patients, from which 316 medical records were selected through simple random sampling, taking into account inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis showed that age is a determining factor in COVID-19 mortality: patients over 60 years old have a 1.836 times higher risk than those between 29 and 59 years old. In addition, men have a 2.017 times higher risk than women. Symptoms such as dry cough, ageusia/anosmia, and chest pain are strongly linked to a fatal outcome. Regarding comorbidities, both obesity and kidney failure showed a significant correlation with mortality, as their p-values were less than the established significance level (0.05). The average survival was determined to be 16.83 days, with a marked decrease in the survival rate during the first month. Other comorbidities, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and chronic lung disease, increased the risk of mortality. However, cardiovascular diseases and immunosuppression did not show a significant impact. This research underscores the importance of considering a combination of demographic factors, clinical characteristics, and comorbidities when determining the treatment and prognosis of patients with COVID-19 at the Cusco Regional Hospital.
