Abstract

Background: Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses and constitute a subfamily of Coronaviridae ranging from the common cold virus to viruses causing more acute diseases such as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Symptom), MERSE (Middle East Respiratory Symptom) and COVID-19 inflicting human respiratory system.Methods: The current study is a cross-sectional descriptive study collecting data from COVID-19 patients in Ardabil Province in 2020. To investigate the relationship between the clinical symptoms and time periods of the disease, chi-square and Fisher exact test were used.Results: A total of 5,541 cases were admitted in the hospitals of Ardabil province during the study period of which 2,505 (45.22%) patients had a positive PCR test. The patients were investigated in two different periods. The first period covered the onset of the disease in Ardabil on April 30, 2020, and the second period covered the time from May 1, to July 1, 2020.Conclusion: The results of the study reveal that among PCR-positive patients, the prevalence of stomachache and aches and pains was almost doubled between the two periods (P ˂ 0.05). Nevertheless, other symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, runny nose, chest pain and conjunctivitis reduced significantly (P ˂ 0.05).
伊朗西北部新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)临床症状变化趋势
背景:冠状病毒是一个庞大的病毒群,构成了冠状病毒科的一个亚科,从普通感冒病毒到引起更严重疾病的病毒,如SARS(严重急性呼吸道症状)、MERSE(中东呼吸道症状)和COVID-19造成人类呼吸系统。方法:本研究是一项横断面描述性研究,收集了2020年阿达比尔省COVID-19患者的数据。为探讨临床症状与病程的关系,采用卡方检验和Fisher精确检验。结果:研究期间,阿达比尔省医院共收治5541例患者,其中PCR检测阳性2505例(45.22%)。在两个不同的时期对患者进行调查。第一个时期涵盖2020年4月30日在阿达比尔发病的时间,第二个时期涵盖2020年5月1日至7月1日的时间。结论:研究结果显示,pcr阳性患者胃痛和胃脘痛发生率在两期之间几乎增加了一倍(P值小于0.05)。然而,其他症状如疲劳、易怒、流鼻涕、胸痛和结膜炎明显减少(P小于0.05)。
