Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has still affected many countries around the world. While several studies have been published substantially regarding the risk factors of severe COVID-19 infection, less is known about the factors associated with COVID-19 infection among rural populations. This study aims to determine the characteristics and COVID-19 infection outcome in the rural population in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Cross-sectional study was conducted in year 2021 among 3004 Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19 cases in rural areas in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The data was collected using proforma from list of COVID-19 cases in district health office and has been analyzed using SPSS version 25. Analysis shows that 884 (29.4%) out of 3004 Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19 cases are classified as moderate-severe. The significant characteristics for moderate-severe COVID-19 infections were age (age 60 and above: aOR 2.00, 95% CI 1.474 – 2.715), gender (female: aOR 1.20, 95% CI 1.014-1.430), ethnicity (Chinese: aOR 3.09, 95% CI 1.746-5.454), employment status (employed: aOR 1.40, 95% CI 1.115-1.714), and chronic diseases (having chronic diseases: aOR 1.70, 95% CI 1.350-2.133). Early recognition of these characteristics among COVID-19 patients and prompt management of these cases might help to reduce COVID-19 severity in future.

马来西亚森美兰州农村人口的特征和COVID-19感染结局

2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行仍在影响世界许多国家。虽然已经发表了几项关于COVID-19严重感染风险因素的实质性研究，但对农村人群中与COVID-19感染相关的因素知之甚少。本研究旨在确定马来西亚森美兰州农村人口的特征和COVID-19感染结果。于2021年对马来西亚森美兰州农村地区3004例实验室确诊的COVID-19病例进行了横断面研究。数据采用区卫生厅COVID-19病例表形式收集，使用SPSS 25进行分析。分析结果显示，在3004例实验室确诊病例中，884例(29.4%)为中重度。中重度COVID-19感染的显著特征为年龄(60岁及以上:aOR 2.00, 95% CI 1.474 - 2.715)、性别(女性:aOR 1.20, 95% CI 1.014-1.430)、种族(华裔:aOR 3.09, 95% CI 1.746-5.454)、就业状况(在职:aOR 1.40, 95% CI 1.115-1.714)和慢性疾病(患有慢性疾病:aOR 1.70, 95% CI 1.350-2.133)。及早认识到COVID-19患者的这些特征并及时对这些病例进行管理，可能有助于在未来降低COVID-19的严重程度。
