COVID-19 and ICU admission associated predictive factors in Iranian patients

Authors

Abstract:

Background: The pandemic situation created an overwhelmed needs for ICU facilities, according to this problem, the need of accurate the management of facilities represents bold. In this study, prognostic risk factors for ICU admission among COVID-19 hospitalized patients were evaluated. Methods: From 22 February to April 20, 2020. Totally,214 COVID-19 patients participated in this study. The included patients were between 18- 80 years old, and the patients who previously admitted for COVID-19 were excluded. The comorbid medical conditions, admission laboratory, demographic data, and first manifestations were analyzed between two groups, including ICU and non-ICU admitted patients. The statistical analysis, univariate and multivariate analysis were afforded. The value of the predictors in risk assessment of ICU admission were estimated. Results: 55 patients (25.7%)  were admitted in ICU. The ICU admitted patient’s mortality rate was about 68%. The age was significantly higher among ICU admission group (P=0.03). Admission O2 saturation was significantly lower among ICU admitted patients (P=0.00). The kidney disease and malignancy history were more frequent in ICU-admitted patients (P=0.04, P=0.00). Myalgia was the clinical manifestation that significantly presented more frequent in ICU-admitted patients. INR, CRP, ESR, HB, and Lymphocyte were significantly different between two groups. After multivariable analysis, admission O2 saturation, hematocrit, CRP and myalgia could significantly predict the risk of ICU admission. Furthermore, the value of predictors was estimated in our study. Conclusion: Based on our results, the admission O2 saturation, HCT, CRP levels at first admission and myalgia presentation could be considered as the valuable predictors of ICU admission.

Factors Influencing Triage Decisions in Patients Referred for ICU Admission

BACKGROUND Few data is available on triage of critically ill patients. Because the demand for ICU beds often exceeds their availability, frequently intensivists need to triage these patients in order to equally and efficiently distribute the available resources based on the concept of potential benefit and reasonable chance of recovery. The objective of this study is to evaluate factors influen...

Factors Associated with ICU Admission following Blunt Chest Trauma

Background. Blunt chest wall trauma accounts for over 10% of all trauma patients presenting to emergency departments worldwide. When the injury is not as severe, deciding which blunt chest wall trauma patients require a higher level of clinical input can be difficult. We hypothesized that patient factors, injury patterns, analgesia, postural condition, and positive airway pressure influence out...

Severity of COVID-19 in hospitalized elderly at admission, delay in hospitalization, and death from COVID-19

Background: Age is a strong risk factor for increasing the risk of severity and death from Covid-19. The risk of hospitalization for Covid-19 disease increases with age. Since the elderly constitute a large proportion of Covid-19 patients, the present study was performed to evaluate the severity of the disease in the hospitalized elderly due to Covid-19 and the delay in hospitalization and deat...
