ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study was aimed to investigate the risk factors for mortality in patients with COVID-19.METHODS:
For this retrospective cohort study, we included 121 deceased and 436 discharged cases with COVID-19 in Babol, Northern Iran. The cases were between March 1 to April 1, 2020.RESULTS:
Multivariate Poisson regression analysis revealed that older age (aRR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01, 1.05, p < 0.001), hospital length of stay (aRR 0.94, 95% CI 0.90, 0.97, p = 0.003), ICU admission (aRR 4.34, 95% CI 2.95, 6.37, p < 0.001), cerebrovascular disease (aRR 1.96, 95% CI 1.20, 3.19, p = 0.007), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) (aRR 2.09, 95% CI 1.22, 3.55, p = 0.006), septic shock (aRR 2.98, 95% CI 1.44, 6.19, p = 0.003), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (aRR 3.80, 95% CI 2.28, 6.31, p < 0.001), acute kidney failure (AKF) (aRR 1.45, 95% CI 1.12, 3.76, p = 0.021), acute heart failure (AHF) (aRR 1.63, 95% CI 1.01, 2.62, p = 0.043) and lymphocyte count (aRR 3.01, 95% CI 1.99, 4.57, p < 0.001) were associated with mortality.CONCLUSION:
Findings showed that elderly with comorbidities such as cerebrovascular diseases had an increased risk of death. Some complications such as pneumonia, septic shock, ARDS, AHF, and AKF played crucial roles as well death (Tab. 2, Ref. 25).Keywords
