  • To present clinical and demographic characteristics of COVID-19 patients admitted to Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago in the Dominican Republic, we analyzed electronic medical records of all hospitalized patients clinically admitted as viral pneumonia through March - April 2020. Of 374 patients, 150 (40.1%) laboratory-confirmed, were included in this study. Most of the patients were men (104/69.3%) with a median (IQR 44-66) age of 54 years. Hypertension (83/55.3%) and Diabetes Mellitus (49/32.7%) were the most common comorbidities, whereas fever (120/80%), cough (79/52.7%), and fatigue (60/40%) were the most common presenting symptoms. Twenty eight (18.7%) patients required admission to the intensive care unit, of them, 26 patients (17.3%) required mechanical ventilation. The overall mortality rate was 10.7%. These findings indulge information that could contribute to stratify patients at higher risk of complication.
