Abstract
Introduction: The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented global health crisis with profound implications for public health worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of mortality due to COVID-19 in vaccinated patients presenting to the emergency department of Ziaian Hospital in the year 1400.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that included 298 patients with COVID-19. Sampling was conducted through convenience sampling, and data analysis was performed using SPSS version 27. Logistic and Poisson regression were used to investigate the relationship between mortality and the study variables.

Results: The average age of individuals in this study was 66.26 years. The mortality rate due to COVID-19 in vaccinated patients hospitalized in the hospital was 12.34%. In this study, a significant association was observed between mortality and a history of cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease in vaccinated patients with COVID-19 (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that among the underlying diseases analyzed, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease have the highest risk of mortality due to COVID-19. This research highlights the importance of focusing on populations affected by these specific diseases and providing appropriate treatment to meet their needs.
