    We studied 113 patients hospitalized by COVID-19, 51.3% men. On average, the hospital length of stay for COVID-19 hospitalized patient was 7,3 (± 6,2) days with a median cost of 1,688(IQR788−2,523).Inwomen,themediandirectmedicalcostofhospitalizationwas1,688 (IQR 788-2,523). In women, the median direct medical cost of hospitalization was 1,328 (IQR 463−463-2,098), while in men was 1.4 times greater. Being 60 years of age or older triggers hospitalization costs almost twice as high as those under this age (1,813vs.1,813 vs. 2,994), and when the cost is compared by type of hospitalization, this difference is more than three times (ICU: 4,118; general ward: $1,312)
