Abstract
Background: SARS-CoV2/COVID-19 emerged in China and caused a global pandemic in 2020. The mortality rate has been reported to be between 0% and 14.6% in all patients. In this study, we determined the clinical and laboratory parameters of COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality in our hospital.
Objectives: Investigate the relationship between demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters on COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Settings: Tertiary care hospital.
Patients and methods: Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia from March until the end of December were included in the study.
Main outcome measures: The relationship between demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters and the morbidity and mortality rates of patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
Sample size: 124 patients RESULTS: The mortality rate was 9.6% (12/124). Coronary artery disease (P<.0001) diabetes mellitus (P=.04) fever (>38.3°C) at presentation (P=.04) hypertension (P<.0001), and positive smoking history (P<.0001) were significantly associated with mortality. Patients who died were older, had a higher comorbid disease index, pneumonia severity index, fasting blood glucose, baseline serum creatinine, D-dimer, and had lower baseline haemoglobin, SaO2, percentage of lymphocyte counts and diastolic blood pressure. Patients admitted to the ICU were older, had a higher comorbidity disease index, pneumonia severity index, C-reactive protein, WBC, D-dimer, creatinine, number of antibiotics used, longer O2 support duration, lower hemoglobin, lymphocyte (%), and baseline SaO2 (%).
Conclusions: Our results were consistent with much of the reported data. We suggest that the frequency, dosage, and duration of steroid treatment should be limited.
Limitations: Low patient number, uncertain reason of mortality, no standard treatment regimen, limited treatment options, like ECMO.
