Clinical features and risk factors associated with COVID-19 mortality in a non-Intensive Care Unit
Conclusions. Patients who died in the hospital had shorted length of stay than that of the surviving patients. Older age, pre-existent chronic renal disease and need of supplemental oxygen represented independent predictors of mortality in patients hospitalized in non-Intensive Care Unit with COVID-19.
