Background: Older age and comorbidities are associated with adverse outcomes in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, comprehensive identification of mortality risk factors can further guide disease management. We aimed to analyze predictors of in-hospital mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 400 COVID-19 patients admitted between March and December 2020.
