    TLDR Older males had higher death rates, and Latin Americans were more often in the ICU during the COVID-19 outbreak in a Spanish hospital.
    In a secondary hospital in Spain, males aged 60 to 79 were admitted and deceased more frequently than females during the COVID-19 outbreak, with a mortality rate of 14.7%. Latin Americans were more often admitted to the ICU. The study suggested that further research on the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in hospitals was necessary.
