COVID-19 pandemic still poses a serious challenge to health system worldwide. This study was planned to determine exposure characteristics, in-hospital mortality, and predictors of in hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients.Material and methods   We retrospectively investigated epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory profile of confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted from 25th March to 31st August 2020. COVID-19 patient profiles were collected from Medical Record Section of the hospital.Results   In hospital mortality occurred in 159 (11%) cases. Increasing respiratory rate, higher temperature, higher total leukocyte count, and high blood urea levels were found to be independent risk factors for in hospital mortality whereas higher hemoglobin and higher oxygen saturation at the time of hospital admission were found to be protective against in hospital mortality.Conclusion   In hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients is almost 1 in 10 in tertiary care hospital. Patients with advancing age (AOR: 1.048; 95% CI: 1.021-1.076), higher respiratory rate (AOR: 1.248; 95% CI: 1.047-1.489), higher temperature (AOR: 1.758; 95% CI: 1.025-3.016), higher leukocyte count (AOR: 1.147; 95% CI: 1.035-1.270), and higher urea levels (AOR: 1.034; 95% CI: 1.005-1.064) at the time of admission are important predictors of COVID-19 in-hospital mortality.
