Risk Factors for One-Year Mortality in Hospitalized Adults with Severe COVID-19.

As the body's immunity declines with age, elderly-hospitalized patients due to COVID-19 might be at higher mortality risk. Therefore, the aim of this prospective study was to examine the possible risk factors (demographic, social or comorbidities) most associated with mortality one-year after diagnosis of COVID-19. Routine data were collected from a cohort of hospitalized adults with severe COVID-19.

Social determinants of health associated with severity and mortality in patients with COVID-19.

Introduction: Historically, pandemics have resulted in higher mortality rates in the most vulnerable populations. Social determinants of health (SDH) have been associated with people morbidity and mortality at different levels.

Objective: To determine the relationship between SDH and COVID-19 severity and mortality.
