ABSTRACT
AIM:
The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical characteristics of death cases with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHOD(S) We collected clinical characteristics of confirmed COVID-19 patients who died from January 01, 2022, to March 31, 2022, in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital, Manado, Indonesia. The patient's clinical features were obtained from the electronic medical records Age, sex, history of COVID-19 vaccination, type of vaccine, s-gene target failure (SGTF) result, duration of hospitalization, comorbidities, and cause of death. RESULT(S) Seventy-nine medical records of COVID-19 patients treated and died at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital, Manado, Indonesia, from January 01, 2022, to March 31, 2022. The mean age of patients was 56-years-old, 57% were males, and 43% were females. The mean duration of hospitalization was 5 days. Most patients (73%) had not received any COVID-19 vaccine. SGTF results showed a probable Omicron variant in 53% of the subject, 13% of non-probable Omicron, and 13% of others who did not have the test. A third of the deceased patients had at least one type of comorbid condition. Diabetes mellitus was the most common comorbidity in 66% of our subjects. Most of the issues died due to respiratory failure (63%), and the rest died due to multiple organ failures, septic shock, and cerebrovascular accidents. CONCLUSION(S) One-third of COVID-19 patients who died at least had one type of comorbidity, commonly diabetes mellitus. Most of the subjects died due to respiratory failure. Most of the deceased patients had not received any COVID-19 vaccination. Copyright © 2022 Erling David Kaunang, Erwin Gidion Kristanto, Jimmy Panelewen, Ivonne Elisabeth Rotty.
