Baseline Characteristics of the Patients
The baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of the 123
patients with SARS-CoV-2 were shown in Table
1.
A total of 62 patients (50.41%) were men, the age range was 18 to 92
years, and the median age was 41 years (interquartile range, 32 to 57).
The number of comorbidities was 55 (44.72%), and hypertension accounted
for the majority. At baseline, the majority of patients were mild
patients (105 [85.37%]), while severe patients (18 [14.63%])
were relatively less. 82.93% of the patients were observed fever on
presentation, while the median body temperature on admission was 37.0â
(interquartile range, 36.5â to 37.6â). A total of 54 patients (43.90%)
enrolled requiring oxygen-support, while low flow oxygen requirements
accounted for majority
(39.84%).
In
terms of laboratory results, blood indices of CoV-19 patients were
within the normal range on the admission, including peripheral white
cell count, platelets, C-reactive protein, serum creatinine, aspartate
transaminase, alanine transaminase, bilirubin, LDH, and creatine kinase.
Patients in the 3 groups were similar in age, sex, comorbidities, and
baseline laboratory results at enrollment (pīŧ0.05).
