Abstract
Introduction: WHO has declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic on 11th March 2020. The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID19) has rapidly spread worldwide. First case of COVID-19 was reported on 30th January 2020 in Kerala state, India. The first COVID-19 case was reported to Government Allopathic medical College Banda on 1st April 2020, and thereafter many COVID-19 cases were admitted and treated. This study was conducted to find the epidemiological variables affection mortality among hospitalised COVID-19 patients. Materials and Methods: Study design: This study was a hospital based cross-sectional study. The outbreak of second wave started and the period was 1st April 2021 to 30th June 2021. Socio-demographic data, clinical signs and symptoms present, history of co-morbidities and vaccination history etc. were taken at the time of admission. Adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was estimated for all the potential covariates associated with death. The p-value less than 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Maximum number of cases was found in the age group of 41-60 years (463) followed by 21-40 year age group (379). Out of 1226 cases, 795 (64.8%) cases were males respectively. The covariates marital status, sore throat, breathlessness and vaccination status were found to be significantly associated with mortality. Conclusion: Breathlessness, cough, sore throat and fever were the important clinical findings of this study. Also comorbidity was one of the significant risk factors. The COVID death can be minimized by vaccination;therefore there is a need of awareness and health education about COVID vaccine in community.

Summary
The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID19) has rapidly spread worldwide from its place of origin in Wuhan City of China.[1]. Total COVID -19 cases and deaths reported from Uttar Pradesh till 30th June was 17,06,107 and 22,591 respectively.[6]. Detailed information on causes of death and the contribution of pre-existing health conditions to death yet is missing. Several co morbidities, such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and obesity were present in the vast majority of patients. Our findings reveal that causes of death were directly related to COVID-19 in the majority of decedents, while they appear not to be an immediate result of pre-existing health conditions and co morbidities.[7]. Epidemiologic Variables Affecting Deaths among COVID-19 Patients in Second Wave of Pandemic in Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh: A Cross-sectional Study.
