ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Many countries have seen a two-wave pattern in reported cases of coronavirus disease-19 during the 2020 pandemic and the dynamic changes of D-dimer and Hs-CRP levels during disease progression to evaluate their value for thrombo-embolic events and severity of disease during wave I and wave II of COVID 19 disease in critically ill patients became significant.

Methods:

In this study using data from two equal periods of 5 months, the first wave, between 20th July to 30th Nov and the second, between March to 30th July, characteristics are compared of hospitalised patients in Intensive Care Unit.

Results:

In this study, we reported 50 confirmed COVID 19 disease patients from wave I and wave II respectively. Patients in the second wave were younger and the duration of hospitalization and case fatality rate were higher than those in the first wave. These results might help to understand the characteristics of the second wave and the behaviour and danger of SARS-CoV-2 with the risk of thrombosis and bleeding.

Conclusion:

The second wave was more severe and yet more data required to study seasonal trend and severity of different COVID-19 strain.
