Introduction: The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has been a public health problem worldwide for a considerable time. According to the COVID-19 dashboard at Johns Hopkins University (JHU), Mexico is in the fourteenth place of reported cases. Some studies have described some risk factors associated with having COVID-19. However, the risk to develop different COVID-19 outcomes is unclear. Objective: To describe the risk factors for develop different COVID-19 outcomes. Material and methods: We carried out a multicenter cross-sectional study, from June 2020 to March2021. A non-probabilistic sampling study design was used. For continuous variables Kruskal-Wallis test was carried out for comparing nonparametric distribution among studied groups. χ2 test was performed for the categorical variables. Univariated logistic analysis was performed to determine the associations of risk factors to COVID-19 outcomes. The analysis was performed using the STATA v.13 software. Results: We analyzed 713 patients and were classified as mild (N = 193, 27%); severe (N = 232, 32%); critical (N =169, 24%) and deceased (N = 119, 17%). Critical and deceased group had a highest percentage of males with 121 (72%) and 75 (63%) respectively. The main comorbidities were overweight (N = 221, 31%), obesity (N = 215, 30%) and type 2 diabetes (N = 208, 29%). Others comorbidities were smoking (17%), cardiopathies (3%), alcoholism (2%) neumopathies (1.6%) and nefropahties (1.5%). Conclusion: The main risk factors in deceased group were overweight and type 2 diabetes.
