“…22 Patients with physical and psychiatric comorbidities were found to be more anxious in other studies but we did not find significant difference of perceived stress and coronavirus-specific anxiety level compared with those without these ailments. 23,25 Prolonged hospital stay was associated with the higher level of distress and mean duration of hospital stay in our study was 10.2 (±4.4) days, shorter compared to similar studies. 22,26 The course of illness during hospital stay would be the more relevant predictor, as patients treated in high dependency units were more anxious and distressed than those who stayed in general ward throughout their course in the hospital.…”

[22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Most studies observed either equal gender distribution or female predominance like us except Kumar et al 24 Although Somani et al, did not find any association between distress with respect to age, gender, marital status, education, or occupation among general population; the scenario was different among COVID-19 patients. 29 The level of perceived stress was more in females but no gender difference noted for coronavirus-specific anxiety in our study.…”

“…Critically ill patients account for the largest number of psychiatric consultations [6]. Parikh et al evaluated the mental health of COVID-19 patients in India and results showed that symptomatic patients were relatively more psychological distressed than asymptomatic patients [7]. Alamri et al investigated the mental health of COVID-19 patients in Saudi Arabia and observed that 50% of COVID-19 patients were considered to have anxiety and depression or demonstrated a borderline level of anxiety and depression [8].…”
