Objectives: to identify the significance or impact of epidemiological factors and the selected treatment on the mortality in the population of patients suffering from COVID-19. Method: design, frame of reference and patients: An observational, analytical case-control study was carried out in critically ill patients diagnosed with COVID-19, who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of H.H Sheikh Khalifa Bim Zayed al Nahyan. Hospital in the period from January 2021 to September 2021. Results: the variables that turned out to have a statistically significant impact on mortality were “presence of vasoactive drugs” (21,5 times more likely) and “age over 65 years” (5,4 times more likely). Conclusions: mortality in the study population, affected with COVID-19 was higher in older adult patients and those who required vasoactive support during their stay in the intensive care unit, with the majority presenting with acute respiratory insufficiency.
