AB Objective: Isolation of suspected cases of COVID-19 has been shown effective inreducing disease transmission and monitoring these patients from primary care allowsto detect complications. The objective of this study is to determine the evolution of a cohortof patients with suspected COVID-19, and to analyse the factors associated with hospitaladmissions due to their unfavourable evolution.Methods: Prospective cohort study. A cohort of 166 patients with COVID-19 symptomswas selected and was followed-up by telephone calls during 14 days of home isolation.Results: By the end of the follow-up, a hospital admission had taken place in 14.7% ofpatients. The mean survival time until admission among diabetics was 12.6, 10.9 days forchronic kidney diseases, and 9.3 days in immunocompromised patients.Immunosuppression was a risk factor for admission over 50 years of age.Conclusion: Hospital admissions for suspected cases of COVID-19 are associated withdiabetes, chronic kidney disease, and immunosuppression. Telephone monitoring ofthese patients from primary care allows for home isolation and early detection ofdisease complications.
