Introduction: COVID-19 is caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, identified in the city of Wuhan, China at the end of 2019. The exponential increase in cases forced the World Health Organization to declare it as a pandemic. Objective: to clinically and epidemiologically characterize adult patients confirmed to have COVID-19 in a Family Doctor's Office in Holguín. Method: a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out in adult patients confirmed with COVID-19, in the Family Doctor's Office No. 7 of the "Máximo Gómez Báez" Teaching Polyclinic in the period from January to August 2021. The population and the sample were coincident, with a total of 81 patients. Results: patients in the age range of 50 to 59 years represented 23.45%; and 64.20% of the total were female. 83.95% presented symptoms of the disease and 97.53% were locally acquired. Arterial hypertension was present in 25.93%. 95.06% of the patients studied recovered from the disease. Conclusions: patients in the age range of 50 to 59 years, female, symptomatic and locally acquired COVID cases prevailed. The most frequent comorbidity was arterial hypertension. Most patients recovered. |
