Características clínicas básicas en los primeros 100 casos fatales de COVID-19 en Colombia
Basic clinical characteristics in the first 100 fatal cases of COVID-19 in Colombia
Abstract
[RESUMEN]. Se analizaron las características clínicas básicas de los primeros 100 casos de fallecimientos por COVID-19 en Colombia con base en los reportes del Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS) desde el inicio de la pandemia. Dado que el registro del INS no toma en cuenta las variables clínicas de comorbilidad en el total de los casos reportados como positivos, sino solo en los pacientes con desenlace mortal, se revisaron la patología concomitante, la edad y el sexo disponibles en los reportes diarios del INS. Se identificó su frecuencia y se intentó establecer el comportamiento de riesgo de mortalidad para las variables analizables (OR), y se comparó con el comportamiento descrito en la literatura internacional. De los 100 casos, 63 fueron de sexo masculino, el promedio de edad fue 65,75 ± 18,11 años y en 22 de ellos no se había reportado comorbilidad. Las patologías informadas con más frecuencia fueron hipertensión arterial (35%), diabetes mellitus (21%), enfermedades cardiovasculares y cerebrovasculares (19%), enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (16%), obesidad (12%), tabaquismo (9%) y patología tiroidea (8%). Los pacientes mayores de 60 años presentaron un mayor riesgo de mortalidad (OR 10,31, IC95% 6,67-15,94, p < 0,0001). El 10% de los pacientes fallecidos eran menores de 60 años y no presentaban comorbilidad. [ABSTRACT]. The basic clinical characteristics of the first 100 fatal cases from COVID-19 in Colombia were analyzed based on reports from the National Institute of Health (INS) since the beginning of the pandemic. Since the INS records do not include clinical variables of comorbidity in the total number of cases reported as positive, but only in patients with fatal outcome, comorbidities, age and sex available in the daily INS reports were reviewed. Their frequency was identified and mortality risk behavior for the analyzed variables was established and compared with the behavior described in the international literature. Of the 100 cases, 63 were male, the mean age was 65.75 ± 18.11 years, and in 22 of them no comorbidity had been reported. The most frequently reported comorbidities were arterial hypertension (35%), diabetes mellitus (21%), cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (19%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (16%), obesity (12%), smoking (9%) and thyroid disease (8%). Patients over 60 years of age presented a higher risk of mortality (OR 10.31, IC95% 6.67-15.94, p < 0.0001). Ten percent of the deceased patients were under 60 years of age and did not present comorbidity.
