Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused more than 70 thousand deaths worldwide. Objective: To describe the characteristics of COVID-19 patients who died in a tertiary hospital. Methods: A descriptive study was carried out in the emergency service of the Hospital Rebagliati in Lima, Peru, which includes deceased patients with a positive result for SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosed by PCR-TR until April 4, 2020. The medical history was reviewed. and hospital records looking for sociodemographic variables, clinical characteristics, radiological manifestations, treatment and evolution. Results: 14 cases were identified, 78.6% were male, average age 73.4 years (range 26 to 97). 21.4% of cases acquired the infection out of Peru. Risk factors were found in 92.9% of patients (more frequent elderly, hypertension and obesity). The most frequent symptoms were dyspnea, fever and cough, with illness time 8 days (+/- 3); signs of polypnea and respiratory rales. The most frequent laboratory findings were elevated C-reactive protein (average 22 mg / dL) and hypoxemia. The predominant radiological presentation was bilateral interstitial pulmonary infiltration in ground glass. 78.6% (11 of 14 cases) entered mechanical ventilation; 71.4% of the cases received azithromycin, 64.3% hydroxychloroquine and 57.1% broad-spectrum antibiotics; with a 4.7 day hospital stay (+/- 2.4). Conclusion: Those who died from COVID-19 presented bilateral severe pneumonia, more frequent in men, with risk factors (elderly, hypertension and obesity), with a high need for ventilatory assistance. Introducción: La pandemia debida a enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) ha producido más de 70 mil muertes en el mundo. Objetivo: Describir las características de pacientes fallecidos por COVID-19 en un hospital terciario. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo realizado en el servicio de emergencia del hospital Rebagliati Lima-Perú, que incluye los pacientes fallecidos con resultado positivo a infección por SARS-CoV-2 mediante PCR-TR hasta el 4 de abril de 2020. Se revisó la historia clínica y registros hospitalarios buscando variables sociodemográficas, antecedentes, manifestaciones clínicas, radiológicas, tratamiento y evolución. Resultados: Se identificaron 14 casos, 78,6% de sexo masculino, edad promedio 73,4 años (rango 26 a 97). Adquirieron la infección en el exterior del país el 21,4% de casos. Se encontró factores de riesgo en 92,9% de pacientes (más frecuentes adulto mayor, hipertensión arterial y obesidad). Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron disnea, fiebre y tos, con tiempo de enfermedad 8 días (+/- 3,0); los signos polipnea y estertores respiratorios. Los hallazgos de laboratorio más frecuentes fueron proteína C reactiva elevada (promedio 22 mg/dL) e hipoxemia. La presentación radiológica predominante fue infiltrado pulmonar intersticial bilateral en vidrio esmerilado. Ingresaron a ventilación mecánica 78,6% (11 de 14 casos); recibió azitromicina 71,4%, hidroxicloroquina 64,3% y antibióticos de amplio espectro 57,1% de los casos; con estancia hospitalaria de 4,7 días (+/-2,4). Conclusión: Los fallecidos por COVID-19 presentaron neumonía grave bilateral, más frecuentes en varones, con factores de riesgo (adulto mayor, hipertensión arterial y obesidad), con alta necesidad de asistencia ventilatoria. |
