Time to recovery and its predictors among adults hospitalized with COVID-19: A prospective cohort study in Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Various factors may determine the duration of viral shedding (the time from infection to viral RNA-negative conversion or recovery) in COVID-19 patients. Understanding the average duration of recovery and its predictors is crucial in formulating preventive measures and optimizing treatment options. Therefore, evidence showing the duration of recovery from COVID-19 in different contexts and settings is necessary for tailoring appropriate treatment and prevention measures. This study aimed to investigate the average duration and the predictors of recovery from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among COVID-19 patients.

Method

A hospital-based prospective cohort study was conducted at Eka Kotebe General Hospital, COVID-19 Isolation
