To analyze the initial symptoms of COVID-19 and associate them with the death of adult patients and older people hospitalized in the state of Paraná. A cross-sectional study carried out with data from the Paraná notification system. The study population was made up of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the state of Paraná. The clinical outcome (discharge and death) was used as the dependent variable and the independent the clinical signs. The chi-square and logistic regression were performed. Sample of 15,492 individuals, of which 66.5% were discharged from the hospital. Individuals with low oxygen saturation, dyspnea, irritability or confusion, and nasal flaring were 2.09, 1.68, 1.65 and 2.37, respectively, more likely to die (p<0.001). Headache (OR=0.82), myalgia (OR=0.76), and dysgeusia (OR=0.78) were presented as protective factors against mortality (p≤0.001). Death from COVID-19 was associated with low oxygen saturation, dyspnea, irritability or confusion, and nasal flaring.
