Clinical characteristics and risk factors for mortality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 in intensive care unit: a single- center, retrospective, observational study in China

Abstract: Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a potentially life-threatening contagious disease which has spread all over the world. Risk factors associated with the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 pneumonia in intensive care unit (ICU) have not yet been well determined. Methods: This was a retrospective, single-centered, observational study, in which 47 patients with confirmed COVID-19 were consecutively enrolled from February 24 to April 5, 2020. The patients were registered from the ICU of Leishenshan Ho… Show more

“…Pneumonia, multiorgan failure, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which can be fatal, are common symptoms in severe cases. Elderly people and those with underlying medical disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses, are especially vulnerable to severe forms of the illness, resulting in increased fatality rates within this population [3]. In the present study, comorbid conditions had no effect on the prognosis of COVID-19 patients.…”

“…The high risk of mortality associated with COVID-19 is partly due to the virus's propensity for rapid spread. The severity of illness in some people is another important factor that significantly affects mortality in COVID-19 patients [3]. Comorbidities are crucial for the development of severe diseases in COVID-19 patients [4,5].…”

“…Some biomarkers, such as albumin, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), Alanin Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), and Creatinine (Cr), have been associated with exacerbated outcomes in other viral infections. There is a tremendous research interest in investigating those factors in patients with COVID-19 [20,21].…”
