BMJ: Clinical and Laboratory Characteristics of Patients With New Crown Pneumonia in New York

Recently, researchers examined the prognosis of patients hospitalized with 2019 coronavirus disease (covid-19) in New York City and Long Island, clinical and laboratory characteristics related to the severity of the diseasecollected data on 5,279 laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infections between March 1, 2020 and April 8, 2020The last follow-up date is May 5, 2020The main results of the study were hospitalization, critical illness (intensive care, mechanical ventilation), discharge from hospice or deathPredictors include patient characteristics, medical history, vital signs, and laboratory resultsof the 11,544 people tested for SARS-Cov-2, 5,566 (48.2%) tested positive and 5,279 were diagnosed after exclusionOf the 5,279 persons, 2,741 (51.9 per cent) were admitted to hospital, of whom 1,904 (69.5 per cent) recovered and 665 (24.3 per cent) diedOf the 647 (23.6%) patients requiring mechanical ventilation, 391 (60.4%) died and 170 (26.2%) were discharged from the hospitalThe greatest risk of admission was age-related, with the ratio of all age groups over 44 being greater than 2, and the ratio of the age group aged 75 and over being 37.9Other risks include heart failure (4.4), male (2.8), chronic kidney disease (2.6) and a high body mass index (e.gBMI: 40:2.5)In addition to age, the greatest risk of critical illness includes heart failure (1.9), body mass index (BMI) of 40 (1.5), and male (1.5)At the time of admission, hemooxygen saturation was 88% (3.7), troponin levels were 1 (4.8), C-reactive protein levels were 200 (5.1), and D-dipolymer levels of 2500 (3.9) were more associated with critical illness than age or comorbiditiesstudies have concluded that age and co-disease are strong predictors of hospitalization for new coronary pneumonia, and to some extent can predict the critical and mortality of covid-19 patients;
