Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV2, first detected in China in 2019. This disease causes respiratory infections and significantly impacts global health. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the risk factors for mortality in COVID-19 patients at Universitas Airlangga Hospital in 2021. Methods: This observational analytical study uses a case-control design, including 168 samples with 64 cases and 64 controls. Secondary data from patient medical records at Universitas Airlangga Hospital, including age, gender, education, comorbidities, oxygen saturation, and length of stay. Chi-square tests analyzed the data with a 95% confidence level (α=5%). Results: The analysis revealed significant associations between COVID-19 mortality and several factors. Age (p=0.01; OR=3.24; 95%CI=1.57-6.65), gender (p=0.01; OR=2.2; 95%CI=1.17-4.02), education (p=0.00; OR=2.40; 95%CI=1.11-5.40), comorbidities (p=0.08; OR=2.50; 95%CI=1.26-4.91), and oxygen saturation (p=0.00; OR=5.40; 95%CI=117.10-2490.06) were significantly associated with COVID-19 mortality. Oxygen saturation was the most influential factor (p=0.00; OR=901.73; 95%CI=120.75-6733.48) associated with mortality. Conclusion: Age, gender, education, comorbidities, and oxygen saturation significantly affect Covid-19 mortality rates. This study highlights the importance of monitoring and managing these risk factors in managing COVID-19 at Universitas Airlangga Hospital.
