Introduction: In this century, humanity is once again experiencing the strain of pandemics
caused by viruses. Like the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome SARS-CoV, China in 2002;
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome MERS-CoV, Saudi Arabia in 2012; and Covid-19 SARS- CoV-2, China in 2019. In this context, infectious diseases gain greater prominence when
associated with risk factors such as the presence of comorbidities. Justification: Studies show
that cardiovascular, metabolic, endocrine diseases, as well as advanced age and obesity increase
mortality from viral infections, generating public health problems. Objective: To know the
comorbidities of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 from April/21 to March/22 in a public
hospital in Belém-Pa. To analyze the correlation of these comorbidities with Covid-19 mortality
using the Spernam coefficient. Identify the profile of the population of patients most vulnerable
to Covid-19 associated with comorbidities. Methods: The nominal list of patients with RT- PCR positive for Covid-19 was taken from the Laboratory Environment Manager.
Comorbidities were investigated in the notes made in the risk classification of these patients.
These data were taken from the medical records filed in the Multiprofessional Statistical and
Digitization Archive Service of the Municipal Emergency Hospital Mário Pinotti and compared
with the death certificates for Covid-19. The variables were compared using Spearman's
coefficient considering a value of p < 0.05. Results: 57% of patients had comorbidities.
Systemic Arterial Hypertension 27%, Diabetes Mellitus II 10%, Lung Disease 7% were more
frequent and their associations 6.5% of the total. Men were more affected and the age group
with the highest rate of infection was 41 to 60 years. The lethality coefficient was higher in
people over 80 years of age and zero in those under 21 years of age. Conclusion: The
association of comorbidities and the presence of SARS-CoV-2 infection showed negative
outcomes in hospitalizations. The profile of patients at higher risk of illness from Covid-19 are
adults between 40 and 60 years old, men who have at least one comorbidity.
