RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in a global crisis, affecting hundreds of millions of individuals, with Indonesia reporting a significant increase in cases in July 2021. AIM: This study aims to describe the clinical, laboratory findings, radiological features, and outcomes of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. METHOD(S): This retrospective study was carried out using 606 hospitalized COVID-19 patients who were admitted to the isolation ward in a hospital in South Jakarta, Indonesia, from January 1 to April 30, 2021. RESULT(S): The median age of the patients was 45 years, 55.6% were male, and 85.5% had non-severe diseases, with the most common presenting symptoms being fever, cough, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Patients with severe disease were significantly older (p < 0.001), most of them have hypertension (p < 0.05) and diabetes (p < 0.001), have an increased CRP (p < 0.001), high ferritin (p < 0.001), and increased D-dimer (p < 0.001). Compared to patients who survived, patients who had died were older (p < 0.001), had hypertension (p = 0.013), increased CRP (p < 0.001), high ferritin (p = 0.002), and increased D-dimer (p = 0.006). CONCLUSION(S): These results showed that older age, comorbidities, and a higher level of CRP, ferritin, and D-dimer increased the risk of severe disease and poor clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.Copyright © 2023 Wulyo Rajabto, Prasna Pramita, Hilman Tadjoedin, Donnie Lumban Gaol, R.
