Objectives: To describe the comorbidity and demographic characteristics of the deaths from the first four-month period of 2020 at the Central Defense Hospital and their relationship with COVID-19. Material and methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive, observational and retrospective study. Clinical and demographic data of deaths in relation to the presence of COVID-19.
