“…Existence of more than one comorbidity is associated with even greater risk of an unfavorable prognosis. 8,14 The most frequent comorbidity in this study was cardiovascular disease, this being a finding consistent with the reports of various authors, 14,[17][18][19]21,22,[24][25][26] even though there is great variation between them, including with regard to whether or not arterial hypertension is included among these cases (we included it in this study). Prevalence of diabetes mellitus in confirmed cases was close to that found by North American studies (33.8 to 38.4%), 17,19 higher than that found in the United Kingdom (28.1%) 18 and much higher than the estimate for the general Brazilian adult population (6.2%).…”

Existence of more than one comorbidity is associated with even greater risk of an unfavorable prognosis.…”

“…Although in this study, we did not stratify the population according to age or other demographic features, other recent studies have used the SIVEP-Gripe database to characterize the COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil. Namely, they looked at the regional and ethnic distribution of the hospitalized patients [15,16], age-sex structure and clinical characteristics such as co-morbidities and symptoms [14,15]. Souza et al [14] show that 65.5% of cases are patients over 50 years old.…”

“…The SIVEP-Gripe database provides detailed patient-level records for all individuals hospitalized with severe acute respiratory illness, including all suspected or confirmed cases of severe COVID-19 reported by both private and public sector healthcare institutions, from small rural hospitals to large metropolitan academic centres [13][14][15][16][17]. The records include the date of admission, date of onset of symptoms, state where the patient lives, state where they are being treated, and date of outcome (death or discharge), among other diagnosis related variables.…”
