A descriptive analysis method was performed. Seven hundred sixty-two respondents completed the questionnaire. RESULTS: Respondent’s average age was 34.61 years old (standard deviation = 11.821, range 20–64), 54.1% of female and 45.9% of male. 448 (58.8%) respondents did not have any comorbid history. Respondents mostly obtained vaccination information through social media (86.25%). Most respondents had sufficient knowledge about the COVID-19 vaccine (83.2%), particularly those aged 20–29.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: The corona virus or Covid-19 was originally discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019 which quickly spread to various countries and caused a global pandemic. According to WHO, this corona virus is called SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, because it attacks the respiratory tract suddenly and can be fatal or cause the sufferer's death in a short time. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study aims to find risk factors for the death of patients infected with Covid-19, so that it can help medical personnel to make decisions quickly whether the patient has a good or bad prognosis. Faster and more precise decision making can increase the efficiency of the needs of limited resources. METHODOLOGY: This research method used cross sectional data collection of patients who died and returned home with a diagnosis of Covid-19 from medical records of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Yogyakarta Educational Hospital. Logistic regression test was performed with a significance level (p) <0.05 using SPSS v.21 software. RESULTS: Subjects who died were 63 people or 48.8% while subjects who were alive were 66 people or 51.2%. Subjects with female sex were 61 people or 47.3% while subjects with male sex were 68 people or 52.7%. Based on the results of logistic regression analysis, the variables that determine the risk factors for death (p<0.05) are age, impaired lung function, and increased D-Dimer. CONCLUSION: There are 3 risk factors for patients with covid-19 that determine whether the patient dies or lives, namely age, lung disorders, and increased d-dimer.
