ABSTRACT

Introducción: en diciembre de 2019 se reportó por primera vez un brote de COVID-19. Esta enfermedad ha ocasionado millones de muertes a nivel mundial. A la fecha se han probado multiples fármacos, sin encontrar un tratamiento eficaz aún. Objetivo: describir la evolución y el tratamiento farmacológico utilizado en pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19. Material y métodos: estudio observacional en 200 pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19 en un hospital regional de Acapulco que ingresaron entre marzo y julio de 2020. Se identificaron las características, el tratamiento farmacológico y la evolución de los pacientes. Se realizó analisis univarido, bivariado y multivariado. Resultados: el 60% de los pacientes fueron del sexo masculino, 83% presentaron al menos una comorbilidad, 56% fallecieron. El fármaco más utilizado fue la enoxaparina, del cual recibir dosis de 60 mg se asoció a menor riesgo de fallecer comparado con recibir 40 mg. Haber recibido hidroxicloroquina, metilprednisolona, moxifloxacino y tener 60 años o más se asoció a un mayor riesgo de morir. Conclusiones: se presentó una elevada mortalidad. El fármaco más utilizado fue la enoxaparina, del cual utilizar dosis de 60 mg disminuyó el riesgo de fallecer


Background: In December 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 was reported for the first time. This disease has caused millions of deaths worldwide. To date multiple drugs have been tried, without finding an effective treatment yet. Objective: To describe the evolution and the pharmacological treatment used in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19. Material and methods: Observational study in 200 patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 in a regional hospital of Acapulco who were admitted between March and July 2020. The characteristics, pharmacological treatment and evolution of the patients were identified. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results: 60% of the patients were male, 83% had at least one comorbidity, 56% died. The most used drug was enoxaparin, of which receiving a 60 mg dose was associated with a lower risk of death, compared to receiving 40 mg. Having received hydroxychloroquine, methylprednisolone, moxifloxacin and being 60 years or older was associated with a higher risk of progressing to death. Conclusions: There was a high mortality. The most used drug was enoxaparin, of which using doses of 60 mg reduced the risk of death
