Introduction: The consumption of chlorine dioxide (CLO2) has been promoted for several years to treat different diseases. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) do not recommend consumeing products with CLO2 or its derivatives, due to the adverse effects that these substances could have on people health. According to the PAHO, 14% of the COVID-19 cases have a severe condition, and 5% have a critical presentation. The consumption of CLO2 in people with COVID-19 could cause a more complicated clinical presentation. For this reason, our study seeks to find an association between consumption of CLO2 and clinical complications due to COVID-19. Objective: To evaluate the association between the consumption of chlorine dioxide and the presence of clinical complications due to COVID-19 in the Department of Cusco between 2020-2021. Method: This is an observational, analytical cross-sectional study. The type of sampling was non-probabilistic, snowball type. The contact was made through people with friends or contacts with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 by self-report who live in the department of Cusco from January 2020 to May 2021. Results: We enrolled 234 participants, 50% of them consumed chlorine dioxide and 50% did not consume it. The most frequent complication was pneumonia (19.2%). In addition, an increase of 3.42 times (PR: 3.42; 95% CI: 2.24-5.22) higher probability of presenting COVID-19 complications was found in those who consumed CLO2 in comparison with those who did not consume it (model adjusted by age, sex, obesity, Diabetes Mellitus, high blood pressure and fever). In the same way, a higher probability of 2.87 (PR: 2.87; 95% CI: 1.85-4.45) of presenting COVID-19 complications was found in those who consumed CLO2 compared to those who did not consume it (model adjusted by age, sex, present any comorbidity and fever). Conclusion: In our study, we found that CLO2 consumption increases the probability of presenting clinical complications of COVID-19. In addition, we found that obesity and presenting one or more comorbidities are associated factors to clinical complications of COVID-19.
