Aim: This study aimed reveal the differences parameters at time during first admission, according age groups patients who applied due Covid-19 died hospital. Methods: was retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive covering period from March 16 May 9, 2021. The population (1169 patients) included with COVID-19 presented emergency department data required for this were obtained electronic medical records of information system our divided into three analyzed. Results: It determined that highest rate 547 (46.8%) 65-80 group. In terms comorbidities, there statistically significant difference between only incidence asthma (p = 0.037). When laboratory patient compared; found D-dimer, ferritin, WBC, platelet, neutrophil values (respectively: p 0.001, 0.020, 0.005, 0.029, Conclusion: death Covid 19 is seen over 80 years age, presence increase D-dimer ferritin levels among can be used predict mortality.
