Coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory tract infections. COVID-19 emerged in early March 2020, and cases have continued to rise. Confirmed patients may experience mild, moderate, or severe/critical symptoms, influenced by individual risk factors such as age, gender, genetics, ethnicity, nutritional status, and comorbidities. Patients with severe/critical symptoms receive oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation. The duration of ventilator use depends on the patient's physical condition and disease severity and may be discontinued once normal breathing is restored. This research aims to identify the correlation between age, gender, and comorbidity with the duration of ventilator usage in COVID-19 patients in Kupang. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The samples comprised 23 COVID-19 patients with comorbidities who used ventilators in RSUD Prof. Dr. W. Z. Johannes and RSUD S. K. Lerik Kupang, obtained by a non-probability sampling technique—specifically, accidental sampling. In the bivariate test using the contingency coefficient, it was found that there was no correlation between age and the duration of ventilator usage in COVID-19 patients in Kupang (P=0.40, r=0.46). There was no correlation between gender and the duration of ventilator usage in COVID-19 patients in Kupang (P=0.58, r=0.21). There was no correlation between comorbidity and the duration of ventilator usage in COVID-19 patients in Kupang (P=0.69, r=-0.37). However, there was a correlation between age, gender, and comorbidity and the duration of ventilator usage in COVID-19 patients in Kupang.
