The data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression.
Results: Risk factors for death in hospitalized COVID-19 patients were age, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic renal failure. Age ≥60 years was 2.13 times more likely to cause death (OR = 2.13; CI 95% = 1.24 to 3.66; p=0.006). Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with comorbid diabetes Mellitus were 2.31 times more likely to cause death (OR= 2.31; CI 95% =1.30 to 4.12; p=0.004). Hospitalized Covid-19 patients with comorbid hypertension 2.18 times chance of causing death (OR= 2.18; CI95% =1.12 to 4.25; p= 0.021). Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with comorbid chronic renal failure were likely to cause 3.25 times the death rate (OR= 3.25; CI 95%= 1.11 to 9.51; p=0.031).
