Abstract

Background This study intended to evaluate the effect of smoking propensity on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and the effect of COVID-19 infection on smoking propensity. The COVID-19 outbreak has forced people toward a better approach to life owing to limited developments, confinement in closed areas, and severe hygiene maneuvers for long periods. This period has been considered as a ‘transition’ stage and appears to require a look forward toward an altered life approach. Aim The aim of the work was to evaluate the effect of smoking on COVID-19 infection and the effect of COVID-19 infection on smoking propensity. Patients and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted through self-reported surveys. The study was conducted on 101 COVID-19-infected patients aged from 17 to 70 years old, who presented to the Department of Chest of Ain Shams University after approval of the Medical Ethical Committee. The study was conducted through self-reported surveys, which included data on risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, and the severity of COVID-19 infection. Results Regarding the associated comorbidities, hypertension was the most frequent disease found in 19.8% of patients followed by diabetes mellitus, which was found in 14.85, then ischemic heart diseases in 9.9%, and then chronic lung disease in 7.92%. Regarding general symptoms of COVID-19, fever was the most common symptom found in 42.57% of patients followed by anosmia in 19.8%, dyspnea in 13.86%, cough in 6.93%, bony aches in 6.93%, loss of taste in 6.94%, and then joint pain, fatigue, chest pain, and vomiting in 0.99% for each. Overall, 17.82% of COVID-19-infected patients required hospital admission, whereas 11.82% required oxygen therapy and 5.94% of patients required ICU admission. Only one COVID-19-infected patient had undergone spirometry after COVID-19. Overall, 47.56% experienced smoking cessation, 45.12% never tried to quit smoking, and 7.32% tried multiple times to quit. Multiple factors have affected smoking habit as follows: marriage has increased smoking in 61.9% of participants, and also work, depression, and happiness have increased smoking in 92.31, 95.12, and 64.63% of participants, respectively. Conclusion COVID-19 pandemic has led to unexpected changes in daily activities and alteration in health behaviors. The effects of smoking on human health are serious and profound. Smoking has increased the severity of COVID-19, symptoms, and hospital admission, especially in persons with multiple comorbidities. In the present study, there was a significant relation between admission to hospital and age, period of smoking, and frequency of smoking. Smoking cessation programs should be conducted for individuals, as they help smokers recognize and cope with problems that come up during quitting.
covid-19患者的吸烟习惯
背景本研究旨在评价吸烟倾向对2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)感染的影响以及COVID-19感染对吸烟倾向的影响。由于新冠肺炎疫情的爆发,人们被迫采取更好的生活方式,因为发展有限,封闭区域的限制以及长期严格的卫生操作。这一时期被认为是一个“过渡”阶段,似乎需要对改变的生活方式进行展望。目的评价吸烟对新冠肺炎感染的影响以及新冠肺炎感染对吸烟倾向的影响。患者与方法采用自我报告的调查方法进行横断面研究。该研究是对101名年龄在17岁至70岁之间的新冠病毒感染者进行的,这些患者经医学伦理委员会批准提交给艾因沙姆斯大学胸科。该研究通过自我报告的调查进行,其中包括糖尿病、高血压、缺血性心脏病、慢性阻塞性肺病、间质性肺病等危险因素的数据,以及COVID-19感染的严重程度。结果高血压(19.8%)、糖尿病(14.85%)、缺血性心脏病(9.9%)、慢性肺部疾病(7.92%)次之。在新冠肺炎的一般症状中,发烧是最常见的症状,占42.57%,其次是嗅觉丧失(19.8%)、呼吸困难(13.86%)、咳嗽(6.93%)、骨痛(6.93%)、味觉丧失(6.94%),然后是关节痛、疲劳、胸痛和呕吐(0.99%)。总体而言,17.82%的患者需要住院治疗,11.82%的患者需要吸氧治疗,5.94%的患者需要ICU治疗。只有1例患者在冠状病毒感染后进行了肺活量测定。总体而言,47.56%的人戒烟成功,45.12%的人从未尝试戒烟,7.32%的人多次尝试戒烟。影响吸烟习惯的多重因素如下:婚姻增加了61.9%的参与者的吸烟率,工作、抑郁和幸福分别增加了92.31%、95.12%和64.63%的参与者的吸烟率。结论COVID-19大流行导致日常活动和健康行为发生意想不到的变化。吸烟对人体健康的影响是严重而深远的。吸烟增加了COVID-19的严重程度、症状和住院率,特别是在患有多种合并症的患者中。在本研究中,住院与年龄、吸烟时间、吸烟频率有显著相关。戒烟计划应该针对个人进行,因为它们可以帮助吸烟者认识和处理戒烟过程中出现的问题。
