Abstract

Objective: To identify the epidemiological profile of hospitalized patients who died from COVID-19 in a municipality in the Brazilian Northeast. Methods: Cross-sectional study, carried out using an instrument to collect epidemiological and clinical data from patients admitted to a public hospital due to COVID-19. The final sample comprised 134 patients. For data analysis, descriptive statistics were used. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to verify data normality. Results: There was a predominance of females (57.2%), with a median of 71 years old. The most frequent clinical manifestations were O2 saturation < 95% (73.9%) and dyspnea (67.9%). Chronic cardiovascular disease (54.5%) was the main morbidity. Conclusion: The study made it possible to trace the epidemiological profile of hospitalized patients who died due to COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021 in a municipality in the northeast region of Brazil. It helps to assist health managers in the region when planning preventive measures and making decisions. Furthermore, it provides support for effective epidemiological monitoring, allowing for an agile response in the event of a new wave of COVID-19.
