Abstract: (290 Views)
Objective The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported in late November 2019. Identifying the characteristics of this disease can help make decisions and control the pandemic. The present study aims to determine the characteristics and clinical results of patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in Masih Deneshvari Hospital in Tehran, Iran.
Methods In this cross-sectional study, the study population consists of all patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and hospitalized in Masih Deneshvari Hospital in Tehran from February to May 2020. By using a prepared checklist, the demographic and disease-related characteristics of patients were extracted,. The data were then entered into SPSS software and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results In this study, 700 patients were examined, of whom 451 (64.4%) were male and the rest were female. The most common symptoms were shortness of breath (97.8%) and cough (96.4%). The highest rate of infection was in the age group of 56-65 years. Also, 640 (91.4%) had underlying diseases and 42% were overweight (BMI: 25-29.9 kg/m2). Moreover, 88.2% were recovered and 11.8% were died.
Conclusion Most of the people infected with COVID-19 admitted to the study hospital were male and middle-aged. Analyzing the relationship between different factors in epidemiological studies can increase the attention of caregivers and decision makers to reduce the spread of the diseases.
