Moderate COVID-19: Clinical Trajectories and Predictors of Progression and Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with COVID-19 commonly present at healthcare facilities with moderate disease, i.e., pneumonia without a need for oxygen therapy.

Aim

To identify clinical/laboratory characteristics of patients with moderate COVID-19, which could predict disease progression.

Methods

384 adult patients presented with moderate COVID-19 and admitted to two hospitals were retrospectively evaluated. In a multivariate analysis gender, age, BMI, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and National Early Weaning Score 2 were treated as co-variates. The development of hypoxemic respiratory failure, intubation rate and risk of death were considered as dependent variables. Estimated values are presented as odds-ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).
