【 摘 要 】

Introduction: We investigated the association of self-reported comorbidities with fatality risk among individuals infected with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Espírito Santo State, Brazil. Methods: We included 212,620 individuals, ≥30 years old. The data were obtained from the COVID-19 panel. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression model were used. Results: COVID-19-positive individuals presenting with chronic conditions were at a higher risk of fatality than individuals without these comorbidities. Age had a significant effect on these relationships. Conclusions: Comorbidities were associated with an increased risk of fatality. Middle-aged people (30–59 years) with comorbidities should also be considered as a vulnerable group.
