China

Retrospective observational study

Medical records

130

One hundred and thirteen patients of COVID-19 were enrolled in Taizhou Public Health Medical Center, Taizhou Hospital, Zhejiang Province, China, from January 23 to February 4, 2020. Clinical diagnosis and classifications were made according to the Chinese management guideline for COVID-19

The median age was 46 years(IQR, 37–45 years); 64 (56.6%) of them were male; 44 (38.9%) patients had the basic disease; Forty-seven(41.6%) had a fever (with a body temperature> 37.3°C) on admission; X-ray or CT findings showed involvement of chest radiographs in 110 patients (97.3%)

Severe, having any of the three conditions: respiratory distress, respiratory rate ?30 beats/min; means oxygen saturation ?93% in a resting state; arterial blood oxygen partial pressure/oxygen concentration ?300 mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa);
