Includes 6,329 COVID-19 confirmed admissions
98% of statewide admissions (6,441 admissions per CDPHE) 60,252 patient days 17,431 ventilator days
All patients had a positive COVID-19 PCR test Admitted between March 1, 2020 and July 31, 2020
67.2% (4,250) patients discharged to home 18.4% (1,162) patients discharged to another facility
(Skilled Nursing Facility, Acute Rehab, Long Term Acute Care Hospital, another Acute Care Hospital or Hospice)
Overall in-hospital mortality 13.5% (855)
The data is not risk adjusted or case-mix adjusted The data was aggregated and de-identified at a health
system level, and then aggregated centrally
COVID-19 positive patient readmissions and transfers may
be included in the datasets – a single patient may be counted more than once in the data
62 patients in the dataset remained hospitalized at the
time the data was compiled, which could slightly skew mortality and length of stay in July

This dataset provides a comprehensive view of Wave 1
Length of stay, mortality rates and ventilator use rates
were observed to be higher in older age groups
Patients requiring mechanical ventilation were observed
to have:
Higher mortality Longer lengths of stay Lower rates of discharge to home
Ventilator utilization decreased between March and July Study was not designed to evaluate the cause of improved
Improved patient management and treatment algorithms Rapid sharing and dissemination of knowledge and best practices New therapies including antivirals and convalescent plasma Baseline patient characteristics and comorbidities
Rates of ventilator use and length of stay data can help with
future surge planning for potential future waves of COVID-19 in Colorado
