There are 30 severe and 137 non-severe patients. The mean age was 49.03 years in severe patients and 40.83 years in non-severe patients, with a significant difference (p=0.007). There were 95 males (56.89%) and 72 females (43.11%). Among 167 patients, 146 had fever (87.43%), 132 had cough (79.04%) and 61 had shortness of breath (36.53%). The prevalence of shortness of breath was 73.33% in severe patients, which was significantly greater than the 28.47% prevalence in non-severe patients (p<0.001). There were 44 patients (26.35%) with comorbidities, of which 9 had multiple comorbidities (5.39%). Among patients with diabetes, severe cases were significantly more common than in non-severe patients (p<0.001). Compared to non-severe patients, fingertip oxygen saturation decreased significantly in severe patients (p<0.001), which predisposed patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to acute exacerbation.
