Importance The ongoing pandemic of the novel Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an unprecedented challenge to global health, never experienced before. Objective This study aims to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 admitted to Mercy Hospitals. Design and methods Retrospective, observational cohort study designed to include every COVID-19 subject aged 18 years or older admitted to Mercy Saint (St) Vincent, Mercy St Charles, and Mercy St Anne’s hospital in Toledo, Ohio from January 1, 2020 through June 15th, 2020. Primary Outcome Measure was mortality in the emergency department or as an in-patient. Results 470 subjects including 224 males and 246 females met the inclusion criteria for the study. Subjects with the following characteristics had higher odds (OR) of death: Older age [OR 8.3 (95% CI 1.1–63.1, p = 0.04)] for subjects age 70 or more compared to subjects age 18–29); Hypertension [OR 3.6 (95% CI 1.6–7.8, p = 0.001)]; Diabetes [OR 3.1 (95% CI 1.7–5.6, p Conclusion Age and hypertension were associated with significant comorbidity and mortality in Covid-19 Positive patients. Furthermore, people who were older than 70, and had hypertension, diabetes, COPD, or CKD had higher odds of dying from the disease as compared to patients who hadn’t. Subjects with hypertension also had significantly greater odds of other adverse outcomes.
