Objectives: The aim of this non-experimental analytical study was to investigate whether the use of atorvastatin during hospitalization can reduce mortality in patients with COVID-19 infection. In addition, we evaluated how comorbidities such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity, together with the degree of severity determined by tomography, influence mortality in this population when statins are administered. Method: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted in which the medical records of 627 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 were examined. We determined which patients received treatment with atorvastatin and which did not. In both groups, 28-day all-cause mortality was assessed. To classify each patient with moderate or severe infection, the chest computed tomography report was used. Finally, an adjusted multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and cardiac injury on mortality in this population, in relation to the use of atorvastatin. Results: An analysis of 627 patients was conducted, revealing that the mortality rate among those who received atorvastatin treatment compared to the untreated group was lower (16.5% vs. 53%) with a crude relative risk (RR) of 0.31 (95% CI: 0.24 - 0.40). Subsequently, a multivariate analysis adjusted for severity determined by computed tomography, age, and the presence of cardiac injury was performed using Poisson regression, observing an adjusted RR of 0.399 (95% CI: 0.292 - 0.544). Conclusions: The use of atorvastatin is associated with a 60% reduction in the mortality rate after adjusting for severity determined by computed tomography, age, and the presence of cardiac injury
