Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported an outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China on December 31, 20191. Coronaviruses belong to the Coronaviridae family in the Nidovirales order (2). [...]
Mexico has high number of new cases of Coronavirus Infectious Disease-19 and high rates of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, smoking, that can increase the mortality. The aim was to analyze the evolution of the disease until June 30th, 2020; to know the Cause-Specific Mortality Rate by each state from Mexico and the effect of co-morbidities on mortality for Coronavirus Infectious Disease-19. Methods. An ecological study was designed with public data of National Epidemiological Surveillance System to compare the hospital infrastructure (beds) and Cause-Specific Mortality Rate in each state from Mexico and analyze the effect of co-morbidities in mortality by Coronavirus Infectious Disease.19. It was used t- Student test, Z for two proportions, P-values, and OR, CI95%, and logistic regression.Results. From 509,539 registries, 226,089 (44.37%) were confirmed cases and 27,769 deaths were reported (12.28%). The states with higher mortality were Morelos, Baja California, Chihuahua, Guerrero. There was a lineal relationship between number of beds and cause-specific mortality rate (P Keywords: SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19; mortality; diabetes; hypertension; obesity; smoking.
