Here, we report our findings of a retrospective cohort study to asses the incidence of co-infections, ICU-acquired infections and their relation to mortality in patients with COVID-19. Frequency measurements have been calculated using the incidence rates of each ICU-acquired infections expressed in relation to the number of patients at risk or the number of days at risk. A study conducted in Wuhan, China shows a series of 150 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in whom the presence of secondary infection during hospital admission was one of the risk factors for increased mortality 5 . A recent study found that frequency of hospital-acquired superinfections remained low and this finding was mainly related with ICU admission 6 . ./cache/cord-263671-2b54qfo7.txt ./txt/cord-263671-2b54qfo7.txt
