| description | Ecuador registered an increasing number of cases and deaths related to COVID-19 during an extended period. This case study aims to evaluate the epidemiological data reported by the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador during a limited period (March 15- April 15). It focuses on differentiating the mortality rates among different age groups. Case- Fatality ratios were calculated with overall results of 4,94% mortality for COVID-19 positive patients of all ages by the end of the data collection period. It also indicated that patients aged ‘65 years or more’ had the highest Case-Fatality ratios (16,63%) followed by patients aged between ‘50-64 years old’ (7,37%). The lowest rate was 0% for patients aged 5-19 years. Therefore, indicating a high mortality rate among older patients. Case-Fatality ratios found in elderly Ecuadorian patients also appear to be slightly higher than estimated ratios from other countries. Presence of age-related comorbidities may be responsible on the increasing mortality among this age group. Social, economic, and cultural behaviors related to ethnicity (Latin-American) also may facilitate the spread of the virus among vulnerable groups, therefore, increasing mortality. |

Este estudio de caso pretende evaluar los datos epidemiológicos reportados por el Ministerio de Salud Pública del Ecuador durante un periodo limitado de tiempo (Marzo 15 – Abril 15). Se enfoca en diferenciar la tasa de mortalidad entre grupos de diferentes edades. La tasa de letalidad fue calculada con un resultado promedio de 4,94% de mortalidad para pacientes positivos de COVID-19 de todas las edades al final del periodo de recolección de datos. También indicó que los pacientes de ‘65 años o más’ tuvieron la Tasa de Letalidad más alta (16,63%) seguidos de los pacientes con edades entre ‘50-64 años’ (7,37%). La tasa más baja fue de 0% para pacientes con edades entre 5-19 años. Por lo tanto, indicando una alta tasa de mortalidad entre pacientes de edad avanzada. La Tasa de Letalidad encontrada en pacientes ecuatorianos ancianos también parecen ser ligeramente mayor a las tasas estimadas en otros países. Presencia de comorbilidades relacionadas a la edad podrían ser responsables del incremento en mortalidad en este grupo de edad. Comportamientos sociales, económicos y culturales relacionados con etnicidad (Latinoamericana) también podrían facilitar la propagación del virus ente la población vulnerable, por lo tanto, incrementando la mortalidad.Dirección de Investigación y Desarrollo Universidad Técnica De Ambato2021-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.uta.edu.ec/erevista/index.php/dide/article/view/133210.31243/id.v14.2021.1332Investigación y Desarrollo; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2021): INVESTIGACION Y DESARROLLO I+D July-December 2021; 8-16Investigación y Desarrollo; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2021): INVESTIGACION Y DESARROLLO I+D Julio-Diciembre 2021; 8-162631-25571390-5546reponame:Revista Investigación y desarrolloinstname:Universidad Técnica de Ambatoinstacron:UTAspahttps://revistas.uta.edu.ec/erevista/index.php/dide/article/view/1332/2090https://revistas.uta.edu.ec/erevista/index.php/dide/article/view/1332/2091Derechos de autor 2021 Arianna Mayorga Ramoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-12-07T12:39:52Zoai:revistas.uta.edu.ec:article/1332Portal de revistashttps://revistas.uta.edu.ec/erevista/index.php/dideUniversidad pública*https://revistas.uta.edu.ec/erevista/index.php/dide/oaiEcuador*2361-2557*opendoar:02025-12-07T12:39:52falsePortal de revistashttps://revistas.uta.edu.ec/erevista/index.php/dideUniversidad pública*https://revistas.uta.edu.ec/erevista/index.php/dide/oai*Ecuador*2361-2557*opendoar:02025-12-07T12:39:52Revista Investigación y desarrollo - Universidad Técnica de Ambatofalse |
