To determine the factors associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19 at the Víctor Lazarte Echegaray Hospital during the year 2020. Material and methods: The study was observational, analytical, longitudinal and retrospective, with a case-control design. The SPSS V 25.0 program was used for the statistical analysis and preparation of tables. Finally, Chi square was used for the variables, where the relationships were considered significant if the possibility of being wrong was less than 5% (p < 0.05) and Odss Ratio with a 95% Confidence Interval to determine the degree of association. Results: Of the total number of deceased patients, 69.1% were male, of the total number of non-deceased patients, 67.9% were also male. 71.6% of the deceased were ≥ 65 years, while in the group of non-deceased 34.6% were ≥ 65 years; (OR= 4.8). Among the deceased, 37.0% had a high Charlson comorbidity index, 69.1% of the non-deceased had no comorbidity. The odds ratio indicates that a qSOFA score ≥ 2 means 4.0 times the risk of dying; Likewise, this risk can vary between 1.3 and 12.8 times. There is a significant statistical difference in the presence of lymphopenia and thrombocytopenia, with lymphopenia being the one that reports a higher risk (OR=4.0). 100.0% of the deceased had C-reactive protein and elevated lactate dehydrogenase; Likewise, 90.1% had elevated serum ferritin levels. Conclusion: Mortality is not differential by sex, while age ≥ 65 years, the presence of comorbidities, the qSOFA scale ≥ 2 on admission, abnormal blood counts, and elevated inflammatory markers are risk factors for mortality in the COVID-19 patients.
