| Summary: | Comorbidity is the existence of a clinical entity in addition to a disease under study. It occurs during a patient hospita-lization and generates longer hospitalization time, impacts therapeutic, medium and long-term disease prognosis as well as the health service demand. A quantitative study of analytical, retrospective was carried out. Ninety-three medical records were reviewed and a variance analysis, using the programming language R, to determine the prevalence of comorbid diagnoses in the study population was performed. 151 discharge diagnoses were determined, being the most representative: Hypertension 10.4%, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 6.1%, Type II Diabetes Mellitus 4.1%, and Urinary Tract Infection 3.6%. The prevalence analysis showed the presence of 32 diagnoses that led to the prolongation of hospital stay. Most importantly: Chronic Kidney Disease, Pneumonia Associated with Health Care, Recto Vaginal Fis-tula, Hypoalbuminemia, and Urinary obstruction. The data found indicated that comorbidity found in geriatric patients hospitalized in the Hospital San Carlos Foundation, correspond to sudden onset of chronic and acute illness during the hospital staying. Whether they are linked to the initial health status, is to be determined. |
