Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 164 critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to 10 ICUs in Mexico from April 1 to April 30, 2020.
- Among the patients, the mean age was 57.3 years, with a high prevalence of comorbidities such as hypertension (38.4%) and diabetes (32.3%).
- The findings revealed that 51.8% of patients died within 30 days, with older age and elevated C-reactive protein levels being significant predictors of mortality.
Objectives: The 2009-2010 influenza A (H1N1pdm09) pandemic caused substantial morbidity and mortality among young patients; however, mortality estimates have been confounded by regional differences in eligibility criteria and inclusion of selected populations. In 2013-2014, H1N1pdm09 became North America's dominant seasonal influenza strain. Our objective was to compare the baseline characteristics, resources, and treatments with outcomes among critically ill patients with influenza A (H1N1pdm09) in Mexican and Canadian hospitals in 2014 using consistent eligibility criteria.
