This is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, time series research, in which data will be collected through the medical records of all patients confirmed to have Covid-19, who were admitted to the Hospital Regional de Cajazeiras, PB, during the period March 21, 2020 to March 31, 2022, with the critical form of the disease and which progressed to hospital discharge or death. The time frame refers to the period in which the HRC was a reference unit for treating the condition. In the present study, the absolute and relative frequencies of all variables were calculated, and the distribution of clinical and epidemiological characteristics was verified, namely: age group, race/color, sex, comorbidities, prevalent clinical manifestations, length of stay. Data organization and tabulation were carried out in Microsoft Excel. Among the cases analyzed, there was a predominance of deaths among older people, brown or black, with low levels of education and income; and comorbidities, with cardiovascular pathologies being the most common. The advancement of vaccination in the period between age groups and throughout the historical series contributed to the reduction in the number of deaths. With the results presented, the study offers valuable information about the impact of COVID-19 in the Cajazeiras region, contributing to the understanding of the social and health determinants associated with death due to COVID-19, helping to guide public policies that can contribute to improve the response to the consequences of the pandemic.
