Background: The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 abruptly disseminated in early 2020, overcoming the capacity of health systems to respond the pandemic. It was not until the vaccines were launched worldwide that an increase in survival was observed. The objectives of this study were to analyse the characteristics of survivors and their relationship with comorbidities. We had access to a database containing information on 16,747 hospitalized patients from Mexico, all infected with SARS-CoV-2, as part of a regular follow-up. The descriptive analysis looked for clusters of either success or failure. We categorized the samples into no comorbidities, or one and up to five coexisting with the infection. We performed a logistic regression test to ascertain what factors were more influential in survival. The main variable of interest was survival associated with multimorbidity factors. The database hosted information on hospitalized patients from Mexico between March 2020 through to April 2021. Categories 2 and 3 had the largest number of patients. Survival rates were higher in categories 0 (64.8%), 1 (57.5%) and 2 (51.6%). In total, 1741 (10.5%) patients were allocated to an ICU unit. Mechanical ventilators were used on 1415 patients, corresponding to 8.76%. Survival was recorded in 9575 patients, accounting for 57.2% of the sample population. Patients without comorbidities, younger people and women were more likely to survive.
