ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The situation regarding COVID19 in Poland is rapidly evolving. Because of this, it is important to investigate COVID19 mortality and its predictors in one of the most densely populated regions of the country, Silesia Province.OBJECTIVES:
The goals of this study were to assess inhospital mortality due to COVID19 and the impact of sex, age, and coexisting diseases on the risk of death. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
The data analysis was based on discharge reports of patients with COVID19 hospitalized between March and June 2020 in all hospitals in the region. Age, sex, hospital discharge status, and the presence of coexisting diseases were abstracted from the charts.RESULTS:
In a group of 2830 inpatients with COVID19, 325 died during hospitalization. COVID19 deaths were associated with male sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.52; 95% CI, 1.17-1.96), older age (OR, 6.11; 95% CI, 4.5-8.31), and the presence of 3 or more coexisting diseases (OR, 4.78; 95% CI, 3.52-6.49). The most prevalent comorbidities were chronic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.CONCLUSIONS:
The estimated inhospital fatality rate for COVID19 was 11.5%, which is lower than the average COVID19 fatality rate in other European countries. The risk of inhospital death was associated with sex, age, and the number of coexisting diseases, such as chronic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
