This is a retrospective case-control study of hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia treated at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital (Barcelona) during the first wave of the pandemic. Cases were defined as patients born in Latin America and controls were randomly selected among Spanish patients matched by age and gender. Demographic and clinical variables were collected, including comorbidities, symptoms, vital signs and analytical parameters, intensive care unit admission and outcome at 28 days after admission. Overall, 1080 hospitalized patients were registered: 774 (71.6%) from Spain, 142 (13.1%) from Latin America and the rest from other countries. Patients from Latin America were considered as cases and 558 Spanish patients were randomly selected as controls. Latin American patients had a higher proportion of anosmia, rhinorrhea and odynophagia, as well as higher mean levels of platelets and lower mean levels of ferritin than Spanish patients. No differences were found in oxygen requirement and mortality at 28 days after admission, but there was a higher proportion of ICU admissions (28.2% vs. 20.2%, <i>p</i> = 0.0310). An increased proportion of ICU admissions were found in patients from Latin America compared with native Spanish patients when adjusted by age and gender, with no significant differences in in-hospital mortality.Abiu SempereFernando SalvadorArnau MonforteJúlia SampolJuan Espinosa-PereiroMarta MiaronsPau Bosch-NicolauAlfredo Guillén-del-CastilloMaria Luisa AznarIsabel Campos-VarelaAdrián Sánchez-MontalváLina María Leguízamo-MartínezInés OliveiraAndrés AntónBenito AlmiranteMDPI AGarticleCOVID-19SARS-CoV-2Latin AmericaseverityMedicineRENJournal of Clinical Medicine, Vol 10, Iss 5213, p 5213 (2021)
