Abstract:
The increased number of daily Covid-19 infections in several countries around the world has proven to be a public health concern. To verify the association between comorbidities, hospitalizations, deaths, recoveries, symptoms, age and gender, this article investigates related studies in the databases "Medrxiv", "Google Scholar" and "Science Direct", with the following search terms "Covid-19 ", "Models", "Comorbidities", "Infection", "Hospitalization" and "Recovered". Thus, it was possible to verify that the most verified comorbidity is cardiovascular disease and that comorbidities together with Covid-19 infection are the main cause of hospitalization worldwide, prolonging the infection status that can lead to death. The analysis of the results allowed showing the indicators and trends, as well as the relationship between the variables that can assist in future decision making.
