Article Synopsis
- The study examines the social, demographic, and health conditions of COVID-19 patients treated at a reference hospital in Mexico City, highlighting the pandemic's negative impact on public health and socioeconomic status.
- Conducted on 259 discharged patients, the research utilized statistical methods to analyze variables affecting survival rates, finding significant associations with age, material wealth, and the presence of certain health conditions.
- Key findings indicate that a vast majority of patients lacked social security and many faced poor housing conditions, while survival was notably linked to avoiding major complications like pneumonia and septic shock.
