Item “Factores asociados a la mortalidad en pacientes con covid-19 que ingresan a unidad de cuidado intensivo en el hospital isaías duarte cancino periodo 2020 a 2021”.(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Tovar Salazar, Sandra Marcela; Cruz Rojas, Andrés Fernando; España Serna, Juan Daniel; Perlaza, Claudia Lorena; Eceomo Cruz, FreiserItem Sociodemographic, Clinical, and Ventilatory Factors Influencing COVID-19 Mortality in the ICU of a Hospital in Colombia(MDPI, 2024) Perlaza, Claudia Lorena; Cruz Mosquera, Freiser Eceomo; Moreno Reyes, Sandra Patricia; Tovar Salazar, Sandra Marcela; Cruz Rojas, Andrés Fernando; España Serna, Juan Daniel; Liscano, YamilBackground and Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide, and mortality rates were driven by a complex interaction of patient-specific factors, one of the most important being those related to the scheduling of invasive mechanical ventilation. This study examined the sociodemographic, clinical, and ventilatory factors associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU of a hospital in Colombia. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, involving 116 patients over the age of 18 who were admitted to the ICU with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 between March 2020 and May 2021. Data were collected from the patients’ medical records. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24®. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to identify factors associated with COVID-19 mortality, followed by adjustment through binary logistic regression. Results: It was found that 65.5% of the patients were male, with a mean age of 64 ± 14 years, and the overall mortality rate was 49%. Factors significantly associated with higher mortality included male sex (OR: 6.9, 95% CI: 1.5–31.7), low oxygen saturation on admission (OR: 7.6, 95% CI: 1.1–55), and PEEP settings at 96 h (OR: 8, 95% CI: 1.4–45). Mortality was not influenced by socioeconomic status or health system affiliation. Conclusions: This study identified male sex, age over 65 years, PEEP greater than 10 cmH2O at 96 h of mechanical ventilation, and low oxygen saturation as significant factors associated with higher mortality in COVID-19 patients, while no significant associations were found with socioeconomic status or health system affiliation. These findings highlight the importance of focusing on clinical management and ventilatory strategies in reducing mortality, particularly for high-risk groups, rather than relying on socioeconomic factors as predictors of outcomes
