Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of patients admitted by COVID-19 to the intensive care unit of a hospital in the interior of the northeastern countryside. Methods: Observational and retrospective study based on data from the electronic protocol of the service of patients admitted between April 24, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Data regarding gender, age, health insurance, need for orotracheal intubation and outcome were evaluated. Results: 118 patients were included in the study. Men were more affected than women. The mean age of patients was 65.35 years, with the mean age of women (70.53 years) being higher than the mean age of men (62.37 years). Regarding age group, the elderly accounted for 66.11% of patients. 48.31% of the patients required orotracheal intubation, of which 61.40% were male, with an outcome of death in 75.44% of the intubated patients. Of the total number of patients in the study, 40.68% died. Conclusion: Greater involvement and lethality were observed in men and in the elderly. The number of adult men admitted was triple the number of adult women admitted.
