SANZ-TAMARGO, G; MARTI-LLORCA, A; BOQUERA-FERRER, M  e  RAGA-BESER, A. Characteristics and results of patients admitted with COVID-19 during the pandemic. Rev. OFIL·ILAPHAR [online]. 2022, vol.32, n.4, pp.361-368.  Epub 23-Out-2023. ISSN 1699-714X.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1699-714x2022000400009.

Objectives:

Describe the situation of patients and their hospital admissions due to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Methods:

Retrospective observational study lasting more than one month (March-April) including patients admitted to a secondary hospital with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The inclusion criteria were: over 18 years of age at the time of admission and diagnosis of infection by SARS-CoV-2. Demographic data and comorbidities, clinical data on admission, drugs received during ad- mission, analytical data and origin are collected.

Results:

224 patients were included. The median age was 74 years (range: 63-81) and 60.7% were men. 53.1% had more than one comorbidity. The most frequent clinical manifestations on admission were dyspnea (62.9%) and cough (62.5%), and 25% had fever. Of the treatments used, hydroxy- chloroquine and azithromycin stand out, which have been used in 91.5% and 73.2% of patients, respectively. 41.7% of the patients had lymphope- nia, and 41.1% had a D-dimer >1,000 ng/ml.

Conclusions:

Our study shows that the predominant characteristics in patients hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 infection in our department during the early stage of the pandemic have been: men, patients over 65 years of age, with more than one comorbidity. Lymphope- nia and D-dimer elevations were the most typical laboratory abnormalities. Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin were the two drugs that have been used the most.
