【 摘 要 】

Background:in-hospital mortality is a health indicator commonly used as a measure of quality of care. Respiratory diseases are a major cause of deaths in hospitals. Objective:to describe mortality from respiratory diseases at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University General Hospital in Cienfuegos. Methods:a descriptive study of all patients over 18 years old who died from respiratory diseases in the hospital of Cienfuegos from 2010 to 2014 was conducted. The variables analyzed were: age, sex, length of stay, services where the patients died, cause of death, and associated diseases. Results:there was an increase in patients admitted for respiratory diseases and a higher mortality from these diseases (36.2%). Males (54.7%), patients over 75 years (62.5%), and those admitted to internal medicine wards (39.2%) predominated. Forty eight point eight percent died within the first 72 hours. The most common respiratory conditions were: pneumonia/bronchopneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer, respectively. Sixty three point four percent of the cases developed associated diseases, mainly cardiovascular conditions (26.6%). Conclusions:respiratory diseases are responsible for high in-hospital mortality; the most common causes are pneumonia/bronchopneumonia, mainly in males and in patients older than 75 years.
