Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to define the predictors of critical illness development within 28 days postadmission during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study including 477 PCR-positive COVID-19 patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Istanbul from March 12 to May 12, 2020.

Results: The most common presenting symptoms were cough, dyspnea, and fatigue. Critical illness developed in 45 (9.4%; 95% CI=7.0%-12.4%) patients. In the multivariable analysis, age (hazard ratio (HR)=1.05, p<0.001), number of comorbidities (HR=1.33, p=0.02), procalcitonin ≥0.25 µg/L (HR=2.12, p=0.03) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≥350 U/L (HR=2.04, p=0.03) were independently associated with critical illness development. The World Health Organization (WHO) ordinal scale for clinical improvement on admission was the strongest predictor of critical illness (HR=4.15, p<0.001). The patients hospitalized at the end of the study period had a much better prognosis compared to the patients hospitalized at the beginning (HR=0.14; p=0.02). The C-index of the model was 0.92.

Conclusion: Age, comorbidity number, the WHO scale, LDH, and procalcitonin were independently associated with critical illness development. Mortality from COVID-19 seemed to be decreasing as the first wave of the pandemic advanced.

COVID-19 第一波期间与 28 天危重病发展相关的因素。

研究目的本研究旨在确定 COVID-19 大流行第一波期间入院后 28 天内危重病发展的预测因素：我们开展了一项前瞻性队列研究，研究对象包括伊斯坦布尔一家三级医院在 2020 年 3 月 12 日至 5 月 12 日期间收治的 477 名 PCR 阳性 COVID-19 患者：最常见的症状是咳嗽、呼吸困难和疲劳。45例（9.4%；95% CI=7.0%-12.4%）患者出现危重症。在多变量分析中，年龄（危险比（HR）=1.05，PP=0.02）、降钙素原≥0.25 µg/L（HR=2.12，P=0.03）和乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）≥350 U/L（HR=2.04，P=0.03）与危重症的发生独立相关。世界卫生组织（WHO）对入院时临床改善情况的序数量表是预测危重症的最强指标（HR=4.15，pp=0.02）。模型的 C 指数为 0.92：结论：年龄、合并症数量、WHO量表、LDH和降钙素原均与危重症的发生独立相关。随着第一波大流行的推进，COVID-19 导致的死亡率似乎在下降。
