Abstract

The study in question aimed to evaluate the prevalence of comorbidities and their relationship with the outcome of the disease in patients hospitalized for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in Passo Fundo - RS, characterize the sample by identifying the sociodemographic profile of this group, which comorbidities are more and given these facts what is the connection of these variables with the outcome of the cases in relation to cure or death. A cross-sectional research was carried out, with data collected from notification forms, based on a secondary source, between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. The amount of the analyzed sample was 2,614 patients, with important variables of higher frequencies such as: male gender (54.6%), age group ≥ 60 years (51.4%), white race (92.2%), patients with complete elementary school (47.8%), presence of comorbidity ( 80.1%), presence of fever (60.3%), cough (70.6%), dyspnea (78.5%), respiratory distress (77.7%), oxygen saturation lower than 95% (73 .8%), among the presence of comorbidity, the following stand out: Chronic Cardiovascular Disease (55.4%), Diabetes Mellitus (34.3%). Along with the above data, the investigation of the relationship between the presence of comorbidity(s) and the outcome of the clinical case (cure or death) stands out, with a 95% confidence interval fidelity. It was possible to observe the directly proportional relationship of having one or more comorbidities in relation to the possibility of evolution to death, patients with a comorbidity when adding more diseases have a greater risk for each associated disease, patients individually associated with chronic cardiovascular disease, liver disease patients with asthma, patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic neurological disease and patients with chronic kidney disease are more likely to have a prognosis of death. New instigations on the subject are necessary in order to arrive at results in which, among the various possibilities still to be addressed, it is possible to analyze which diseases, associated with the same case, can cause a greater risk to patients, thus, which may provide a more accurate view of patients who are more vulnerable
