Purpose: To describe the prevalence, incidence, and sociodemographic characterization of moderate to severe vision impairment (MSVI) and blindness in Colombia based on the National Health Registry Integrated Social Protection Information System (SISPRO) Database.
Methods: We performed a nationwide population-based study using SISPRO and the International Classification of Diseases. Total and new cases were identified to calculate the prevalence and incidence per 100,000 inhabitants of MSVI and blindness between 2015 and 2019.
Background: A paucity of predictive models assessing risk factors for COVID-19 mortality that extend beyond age and gender in Latino population is evident in the current academic literature.
Objectives: To determine the associated factors with mortality, in addition to age and sex during the first year of the pandemic.
Design: A case-control study with retrospective revision of clinical and paraclinical variables by systematic revision of clinical records was conducted.
