ABSTRACT
Introduction: Clinical practice has shown that SARS-CoV-2 viral infection increases the likelihood of developing mental disorders. Clinical practice has shown that SARS-CoV-2 viral infection increases the likelihood of developing mental disorders. Objective(s): To analyze clinical indicators of patients with COVID- 19 with mental disorders and to identify predictors of adverse outcomes associated with mental state on its basis. Method(s): The study included 97 patients, 41 men and 56 women (62.3+/-15.3 years of age). During the observation period, 26 people died and 71 people recovered. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire (109 variables). Binary logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression were used. Result(s): In the study group, death occurred on average after 11.5 days. In this group, the mental state of patients was more severe with a predominance of cases of delirium.With age, the probability of a fatal outcome increased by 1.03 with each year of life.The severity of mental disorder had a greater impact onthe risk of deathcompared to age (p=0.003). Improvement of the mental state of patients during psychotropic therapywas associated with a reduction in the risk of an unfavorable outcome of coronavirus infection by 11.11 times. The greatest contribution to the unfavorable outcome was made by the severity of infection: the risk of death increased by 33.17 times. Conclusion(s): Asevere or extremely severemental state increased the risk of death by 4.55 times. The most significant factor in predicting mortality was associated with the severity of the underlying disease.
