“…These have been joined by data analysis techniques, which from simple statistical analysis (14-16) used in diagnostics have evolved to support various areas of Public Health such as resource management (17,18), health care processes (19)(20)(21), and the study of hospitalization (22)(23)(24). Also on the COVID-19 topic, several studies have shown the effectiveness of these techniques (25,26). To investigate our hypothesis, we analyzed data from patients admitted to the hospital for HF before and during the pandemic: we collected data from their electronic records, then we evaluated the likelihood of in-hospital death.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate whether exposure to the pandemic was associated with increased in-hospital mortality for health failure. We collected data from patients hospitalized between 2019 and 2020 and we assessed the likelihood of in-hospital death. Although the positive association of exposure to the COVID period with an increased in-hospital mortality is not statistically significant, this may underscore other factors that may influence mortality. Our study was designed to contribute to a better understanding of the impact of the pandemic on in-hospital mortality and to identify potential areas for intervention in patient care.
