We sought to identify the epidemiological characteristics of the first case series of patients with COVID-19 in Oman.
We included national surveillance data of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from 24 February to 17 April 2020. Analyses were performed using descriptive and univariate statistics.
Of the 1304 patients studied, the mean age was 37.0±13.0 years old, 80.3% were males, and 35.8% were Omanis. The other mostly affected nationalities were Indian (29.1%), Bangladeshi (20.0%), and Pakistani (10.7%). Out of the total, 80.1% were from the Muscat governorate. Omani patients were significantly more likely to be males than females and aged between 20 and 59 years old ( < 0.001). On presentation, 95.9% cases were mild, 3.6% moderate, and 0.5% severe. The case fatality rate was 0.5%. All deaths were from Muscat governorate; four from Mutrah, one from A'Seeb, and one from Bawshar.
This case series provides epidemiological characteristics as well as the early outcomes of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19.
我们试图确定阿曼首例新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）患者系列病例的流行病学特征。
我们纳入了2020年2月24日至4月17日实验室确诊的COVID-19患者的国家监测数据。使用描述性和单变量统计进行分析。
在研究的1304例患者中，平均年龄为37.0±13.0岁，80.3%为男性，35.8%为阿曼人。其他受影响较大的国籍为印度人（29.1%）、孟加拉国人（20.0%）和巴基斯坦人（10.7%）。其中80.1%来自马斯喀特省。阿曼患者中男性明显多于女性，年龄在20至59岁之间（<0.001）。就诊时，95.9%的病例为轻症，3.6%为中症，0.5%为重症。病死率为0.5%。所有死亡病例均来自马斯喀特省；4例来自穆特拉，1例来自阿斯亚布，1例来自巴斯尔。
该病例系列提供了实验室确诊的COVID-19患者的流行病学特征以及早期转归情况。
