STATUS OF DISEASE BY NOVEL CORONAVIRUS AND ANALYSIS OF MORTALITY IN MÉXICO, UNTIL JULY 31, 2020 | Journal of Medicine and Health Research

Background: With the advent of a pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 infection in China and its spread to other countries, mortality has been shown to be high and, if underlying pathologies exist, to a greater degree.

Methods: an ecological review (cases for Mexican states) and a cross-sectional sample (individual data) of the open records of reported and discarded COVID-19 cases performed by the Directorate General of Epidemiology of the Ministry of Health of Mexico.

Results: Specific mortality is estimated to be 10.99 percent, higher in men aged 65 or older. The mortality rate from underlying diseases was higher than that recorded in the United States of America and Brazil in August 2020 by the World Health Organization. The protective factor for COVID-19 mortality was found to be asthma.

Conclusion: It is assumed that, in the case of comorbidity, mortality was higher.
