Study characteristics

China

Retrospective cohort study

Medical records

101

Based on the clinical types, the patients were divided into a progression group and an improvement group. The definition of the progression group: clinically advanced types; patients admitted to ICU; death during hospitalization. The improvement group: the clinical types remained unchanged or changed to a lighter type, and patients were discharged from the hospital.

The study population included 101 hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, and 44 (43.6%) were men. The median age was 50.9±20.1years, and 27 patients were aged >=65 years (26.7%). Among the 101 patients, there were 4 patients with the mild type (4.0%), 75 patients with the common type (74.3%), 13 patients with the severe type (12.9%), and nine patients with the critically ill type (8.9%) at admission. Multivariable logistic regression and ROC curve analysis were performed to explore the risk factors for disease progression.

Results

COVID-19 (clinical improvement)

17

17 patients developed disease progression after admission. Clinically advanced types; patients admitted to ICU; death during hospitalization. 6 were transferred to ICU, and five patients died.

Laboratory Findings

CRP

C-reactive protein (mg/L) >=60 vs. <60 CRP is an important inflammatory index and a significant predictor of disease progression.
